821 cafe / local eats in rva

821 Cafe is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Richmond. Plenty of vegan and non-vegan options for everyone - AND the best tofu sandwich I've ever had.

Look at this glorious thing. It's breaded and fried just perfectly and the tofu isn't cut too thick so you don't get a mouthful of sponge. It's just all around a good time. They have vegan ranch to top the sandwich and dip the fries, too! Beware, though - this is a messy sandwich. Ask for napkins and enjoy!
