Overview
Ironclad treats matcha like a craft. Gorgeous rustic decor inside a historic firehouse, with a second-floor loft perfect for lingering. Creative flavor work sets them apart, and they pay all employees a living wage. Two locations across Richmond.

Insider Tip
Ask for any espresso-based specialty drink subbed with matcha — they'll do it. The Shockoe Bottom location has the upstairs loft, but the West End location (John Rolfe Pkwy) is better for parking.
