North Chesterfield

North Chesterfield
I've been here twice in the last 6 months and keep forgetting to list it. Caffespresso is excellent  limited seating, well at least when it's packed like yesterday. Very good coffee drinks and nice ambiance. Tasty looking pastries and sandwiches as well. And if that's not enough you can stop by next door to get your gun fixed or buy a new one. What more could you ask? massage? Chiropractor? Yep that's on the other side of the coffee shop. Enjoy!

Tuckahoe

You'll enjoy the coffeehouses and gardens in Tuckahoe. You might want to make time for a stop at James River or Regency Square Mall.

"This was a clean, well-equipped and comfortable apartment. The location is good but does require a car to explore the city and pick up groceries. Parking was easy and free. The balcony was a nice place to sit as the temperature got warmer. Air conditioning was very effective. Would stay again."
