Who We Are
who we are
At Cartwheels & Coffee its our goal to provide a quality recreational experience for children, and a pleasant meeting place for adults.
Children ages six and under can enjoy playing in an enclosed playland while their grown-ups relax in the cafe with a great cup of locally roasted Blanchards coffee.
We also have a separate free play area for babies with toys geared just for them. And did we mention free wi-fi?
Cartwheels & Coffee is also a great meeting place for play groups! Click here to see photos

Our Story
our story...Maybe you've noticed that Cartwheels & Coffee is the only place of its kind in our neighborhood. Yes, there are similar businesses around metro Richmond, but none right here in the city. And while we hope you're glad that we're here, maybe you're wondering where we came from.Here's our story in a nutshell... Cartwheels & Coffee is owned by Area 10 Faith Community, a new church that began meeting in September 2008 in the historic Byrd Theatre. There are so many reasons why meeting in the Byrd is fantastic! It's a beautiful, historic building that's locally owned and operated and it's a Richmond landmark. And while are ecstatic about meeting in The Byrd, it has one major drawback for us: a lack of space for kids classes. So we went looking for a place nearby with room for kids as well as our church office.And that's when we found the space at 2820 West Cary Street.In addition to being three doors down from The Byrd Theatre and having ample room for our office and kids, it is a prime piece of retail space. We just couldn't see opening the place for an hour or two once a week and letting it sit empty the rest of the time. We also wanted to provide something useful to our community that wasn't already here.And so the idea for Cartwheels & Coffee was born.While we love our neighborhood and all it has to offer in terms of fun stuff like restaurants and shops -- not to mention necessary stuff like grocery stores, banks, and the like -- the one thing it seemed to be missing was a good option for parents with small children. We thought it would be great to have somewhere to take the kids where they could run around and play without damaging merchandise, disturbing other patrons and generally embarrassing their parents.And how great would it be if that place was also a decent place for adults? Not an explosion of Barney-inspired cartoon craziness, but a pleasant place to drink a cup of coffee and talk with other neighborhood parents about life, love and the joy of raising children. And that's why Cartwheels & Coffee is here. To be a place for our community to gather –young and old alike- and share in the joy of being neighbors. We hope you enjoy the place.
