Loads of new restaurants on tap for Richmond: Ice cream, bagels, cocktails and more

Don't fret about this weekend's forecast, because scores of new restaurants are on tap — or already here — for hungry Richmond diners.

Why it matters: New eats are the best eats.

• Here's the latest.

Now open:

🚛 Bliss Cafe , a coffee and sandwich truck, has parked itself in front of Zombie Pizza on Semmes Avenue in Woodland Heights and will be posted up daily, 8am-3pm.

🍦 Klines Dairy Bar , beloved by JMU alum everywhere, is a custard-style soft serve spot now also in Chesterfield at 15589 Cosby Road — with a drive-thru.

🚨 La Cantina , a second-floor cocktail bar inside The Veil Forest Hill is serving tequila and agave cocktails and spirits, per Richmond Magazine .

🧋 7 Brew drive-thru coffee chain's first Richmond spot at 11 Le Gordon Drive in Chesterfield is up and running.

🥪 Le Box Lunch Cafe , a breakfast and lunch spot with boxed lunches (duh) is under new ownership in Chesterfield at the Arboretum.

Of note: Tequila Sunrise Mexican Kitchen & Cantina in Chesterfield is closed for good after a year in business, Axios Richmond readers report. Its social accounts have been deleted and its phone line disconnected.

Coming soon:

🦞 Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls , a fast-casual lobster roll chain out of Maryland, is opening its first Richmond location off Midlo near that 7 Brew at 14213 Winterview Parkway.

🍨 Corner Rock Cafe , a coffee shop and ice cream parlor from the owners of Toast and Sidecar Cocktail Lounge, will open in a few weeks in the Winterfield Place shopping center, per BizSense.

🧆 Susie's , a Jewish and Moroccan cafe from the folks behind the Susie & Esther , landed its forever home in the former The Hop Craft Pizza & Beer spot at 1600 W. Cary St., Richmond Mag reports .

🥯 Julio's Bagel Shop will bring some much-needed bagel action to Brookland Park (and Richmond as a whole, TBH) when it opens at a TBD date at 114 W. Brookland Park Blvd, reports BizSense . In the meantime, peep those schmears .
