The inside of Crossroads Coffee & Ice Cream on Forest Hill Avenue is once again open to the public.
Why it matters: The popular South Richmond coffeeshop hasn't let customers inside since March 16, 2020.
The latest: But now Crossroads is fully back, baby — as of late last month.
- The new configuration offers less indoor seating than it did pre-pandemic, but there's now an expanded prep area for staffers to more quickly serve up sandwiches, lattes, brews or ice cream.
- They also expanded their hours until 7pm on weekends.
State of play: Since it opened in 2002, Crossroads has been one of Southsiders' go-to gathering spots for coffee, ice cream scoops, live music and, ultimately, craft beer.
- The cafe closed for a few months during the pandemic and reopened in September 2020 with limited hours and for takeout or patio-seating only.
If you go: Crossroads is at 3600 Forest Hill Ave. and open Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8am-3pm and Friday-Sunday, 8am-7pm.
