Early Bird Biscuit Co. The Fan

Where was the flavor? It wasn’t in the biscuit or the fried chicken sandwiched between. I, however, found it in the pickles. They were the only part that actually tasted good. The texture of the biscuit wasn’t bad, but it hardly tasted of anything. And the chicken seemed like it was pulled out of a bag of frozen Tyson fried chicken. The presentation of the restaurant is cute and interesting, but what would Paul Hollywood say?: “It’s got to taste good too.”

A Road Trip Breakfast Worth Stopping For While on a road trip to New York, we made a breakfast stop at Early Bird Biscuit Co., and it did not disappoint. The biscuits are absolutely delicious, and the **lattes hit the spot—the perfect start to a long drive. The space has a cool, cozy vibe, but seating is limited, so if you manage to snag a spot, consider yourself lucky. The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. Heads up on parking—it's street parking only, so pay close attention to the signs unless you want a ticket. Also, there’s no public bathroom, but you can head across the street to the hospital if needed. If you’re in the area, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or lingering over coffee, Early Bird Biscuit Co. is a solid choice for a great start to the day!

Loved their biscuits! Freshly made in house from scratch. They even grate butter right at the counter for Baking. Everything tastes so good! The line can be long and it can be a bit tight inside if you're there during "high" traffic time, but people are genuinely nice, patient, and the workers are efficient so the line moves pretty quickly. Will definitely return!

Amazing food! We stopped here randomly on our way to the zoo, and it turned out to be a great find. We had the breakfast sandwich and biscuits and gravy—both were delicious, but the gravy was especially amazing. The portions were generous, and prices were reasonable for the quality. The staff was friendly, and the place had a welcoming atmosphere with a diverse mix of people from all backgrounds. Seating was limited, but despite the small space, the wait for food was surprisingly fast. If you’re in the area and looking for a great breakfast, this spot is definitely worth the stop!

From the moment I walked in, i knew the vibes were going to be good. The staff was very friendly, with good communication. The food was excellent, with buttery delicious biscuits and excellent egg and bacon quality. I also had the Mocha Espresso which was very good! I will definitely be back.

These are some amazing biscuits. They also have great coffee and delicious sweet concoctions. Also, no matter how busy this place gets, the service is always top notch and fast! I have seen them get through 20 people in less than 5 minutes. Definitely a gem in the Fan.

Out of this world biscuits! Soft and pillowy and just salty enough. The jams we got with them were excellent, and the coffee, biscuit and gravy, and biscuit of the day (“raspberry donut”) were delicious, too. Not a ton of seating (maybe 4-5 small tables?) but great ambiance and service, and appreciated that it opens early. Many breakfast places in RVA seem to open at 9, which was a bit late for us.

Small local spot with great tastes!! My daughter and I had a regular biscuit with strawberry jam and the chicken biscuit. Both were very tasty! The biscuits were warm, buttery and soft! Service was great as well! Definitely a place to check out.

I came in and ordered the breakfast sandwich special for the weekend, the Meat Lover's Sandwich. It was egg, cheese, bacon, and sausage. It was an excellent sandwich, the flavors were all perfect. Only complaint would be that they seem to make them ahead and keep them wrapped in the oven, but because of that my biscuit was a little soggy when I got my sandwich. I also got a decaf Americano and it was great! I also really appreciated that the barista confirmed it was decaf when she handed it to me so I didn't have to ask or wonder if I was given caffeine. It's the small things! Would love to come back and try some of their other biscuit sandwiches!

Such a retro cozy space. It's all about biscuits here. They are freshly made and you can get build your own biscuit sandwiches or add whatever on top of their menu. The biscuits are fluffy and buttery. So much better than those fast food places! Unfortunately dogs are not allowed inside so I had to park my steed outside and order to go. They brought my order out to me while we waited outside. So nice.

Was in town for annual brewery trip with my buddies. Stopped here for breakfast and this place is amazing! One of the best, if not the best biscuit sandwich I've ever had in my life. The owner was behind the counter and suggested the off menu choice of the chicken biscuit with a side of sawmill gravy. I can't recommend this enough. Tried one of their pastries as well and it was outstanding. So good that this place is Stevie K Certified Legit af!

What a cute place! This came recommended and for good reason. The biscuits are terrific. But we got a sausage egg and cheese one and it was mouth watering delicious. Fell apart a bit but that's what you expect with a biscuit. We also got some coffee. Fresh and strong. Just the way it should be. The interior is a throwback and we liked sitting at one of the tables outside. Friendly service. A winner.

Biscuits taste delicious and are freshly baked! Really good, nice service and a good vibe in the store. Very small space, so probably best for take out. I got the seasonal malted vanilla latte and it was one of the best I've had in awhile. My one negative was that the sandwiches don't come with egg! Feels like it's missing something!

The menu is a big hint that they do biscuits and they do them well. I really liked these biscuits, they rival the Asheville favorite Biscuithead! The homemade jams were packed with flavor. Don't forget to look at their bakery counter for other add-ons!

High energy spot with some reliable breakfast! Being in the south, it's essential to find a place with a good biscuit - glad to know that Early Bird Biscuit Company provides just that! Was super cheap but tasted nothing of the sort - loved the hashbrown on my sandwich, literally every breakfast sandwich deserves a potato. All they need is more seating and they'd be golden :)

Holy sweet biscuit these babies were unbridled buttery, crumbly deliciousness. Their egg and cheese biscuit is a filling sandwich that gives you wonderful flavors the whole gobble through. It's pretty packed in the actual cafe, so I'd take this one to-go as you explore the very cute neighborhoods nearby. If you do not make time to get a biscuit sandwich from here when you're in Richmond, you are living life wrong!

Damn fine biscuits here! Big portions, freshly prepared and just fantastic. Two hands needed for their sandwich. I went bacon, egg and cheese and barely finished the thing. From the first bite to the last it was delicious.

I was new in town and was in, well, early to drop a friend off. The biscuit was amazing and coffee on point. Staff, super friendly and helpful. Wasn't rushed through the line or rushed out the door. I would definitely come back!

Favorite spot in town! The best service and tastiest biscuits around! The breakfast sandwiches are a must.

I cant recommend this place enough. I've been going for years, and finally remembered to take a pic of my biscuit before devouring it, so I'm going o utilize this moment to finally remember to review this wonderful little spot! This is gem will remind you of the the small bakery you see in a Hallmark movie. The staff is so friendly, usually the same people, they learn your name, they know what you like, they've got a spot for your dog to sit while you run in and grab your goodies. It's just all around one of the best little places in the Fan neighborhood. They keep it fresh & exciting by offering a completely different rotating savory or sweet biscuit everyday on their special menu, along with other fun pastries & themed goodies, and then have a regular menu too with coffees, breakfast sandwiches galore. I'm a savory biscuit girlie, so can't speak on the sweet biscuits, but the savory are always fun, well-seasoned & amazing, and other sweets I've tried, like brownies, cookies etc were so scrumptious! My fav savory biscuits thus far have been: Cheddar Bay, Jack & Ranch, Pimento Cheese and Queso Fresco!

One morning I got a great breakfast! Just one, lol- we were too busy to stop for breakfast except for this yummy biscuit spot. And they had wonderful coffee too. I went with a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and an extra biscuit just in case I had a carb-mergency during the day. Buttery, wonderful biscuits! My breakfast sandwich was scrumptious. The coffee a life saver and I did eat my emergency biscuit that evening with strawberry preserves, absolutely delightful! The restaurant is small and cute on the inside too- definitely a breakfast win!

This place is fantastic! Delicious southern style biscuits either plain or with lots of different fillings or several kinds of gravy. Highly recommended. We discovered it on the first day of our vacation. Loved it and went back just after they closed. As we stood there sadly, the owner happened to be closing up and gave us a free box of biscuits! Thank you Sir, that was so kind. We are now loyal customers for life

I loved that the biscuit were perfect squares and I could tell this was an old fashioned recipe. they offer sand with the biscuits or a simple homemade jam. the restaurant is cozy but wonderful to relax if you get there in time. they close around 2 so this spot is definitely a treasure to the neighborhood. Richmond has so awesome coffee spot no exception here.

I've been twice now and the biscuits are enormous and scrumptious. Just plain lovely. Egg is fluffy. You can get Virginia country ham on it...or...vegan sausage. Both are great. So many choices of toppings like pimento cheese. So good...go!!!

While in town from Houston for a wedding, I had a bit of free time to grab something yummy for breakfast. When a biscuit company comes us suggested by yelp figured why the heck not. So glad I decided to venture over. I asked the gentleman serving what he recommended as I was only in town for a day and didn't want to get something that wasn't that great. He suggested the biscuits and gravy. So glad that I did. The biscuit was a decent size and not too dry which a lot of places mess up. He also suggest I ordered the jams with an extra biscuit. I figured why not. So glad that I did. I wanted to lick up the extra. Great job on the mango which I wasn't expecting since not many places can master than one. The homemade pop tarts are apparently an item they are known for. I understand why. I almost forgot this in my bag traveling the next day but decided to try eating after I beat up some. Oops. But still soooo good and forth it. The cost overall wasn't bad. Super simple and to the point place. The dining room tables inside are still closed. I had forgotten that people still don't eat inside all places here like in Texas. Over even to go I would come back again while in town even if it was just to grab a pop tart.

I had the sausage biscuit. Not too much to talk about... the sausage was not tasty at all. My love for sausage runs deep and this was not it. The biscuit was huge! Not sure if I would go back. Funny that the owner would say that.... You are located on Robinson St. I certainly got it from that location. But ok!!! Receipt added Once I added my receipt this owner is a nut!!

Love it!! Such a cute restaurant great service. Love to bring friends here!! Hope they get veggie sausage one day!

Upon recommendation from the staff, I had a biscuit with cheese, tomato, egg, vegetarian sausage, and greens. One bite and my depression was cured. The strawberry/mango pop tart is also freakin delicious, flaky, and sweet- I don't know if I can ever buy store bought pop tarts again. They are Covid conscience so there is no indoor seating available yet and make sure you bring a mask.

Cute interior, quick friendly service despite being busy. The biscuits are a good size, probably a little over double the size of a standard biscuit and there's a veggie sausage option, which is always appreciated. Most important, the biscuit was great as was the entire sandwich. I'll definitely be back!

I had the best time here. Great service, all around happy and positive vibes. The chai latte is amazing. The biscuits were warm and fluffy and perfect. The blackberry homemade poptart was soft and delicious. It's a bit sweet if that's your jam (pun intended). I can't wait to come back and try different things.

In Richmond running some errands, my partner and I decided to find a tasty breakfast to sooth our rumbling tummies. Parking was a little difficult, but we made it work. The inside of the restaurant was bustling. It was super busy, with limited seating. It was pretty cramped for the number of people waiting to eat. This is probably more of a to-go place - there were about 4 or 5 tables inside, and a couple outside. You wait in line to place your order at the counter, then wait for your food to come out (people were using the bartop seating as a waiting area, or else there'd be more room for dining.. I was lucky enough to find a table next to the line). You can see the staff working hard and handcrafting biscuits. They hand out coffees from a separate station across from the kitchen. This shop's specialty is their rotating "unique" biscuits! That day, it was the Apple Crisp biscuit. Looking at their Instagram, they've had all kinds of cool flavors! In addition, they have all kinds of fresh baked sweet treats. For my love, the Saturday special at the time, which was bacon, egg, and cheese, along with an Americano. He also got a pumpkin roll, which he raved about! I got the veggie sausage, egg, and cheese with homemade blueberry raspberry jam, with a sparkling Sanpellegrino. My boyfriend loved the biscuit, and the Americano was piping hot and hit the spot. My veggie biscuit was pretty good. The egg was different from the one my bf got. I'm not sure if they made it with egg whites or what. I still enjoyed it. The homemade jam was a bit sour for my taste. The biscuit itself was the best part, it was delicious, flaky, and fresh. I'd love to stop by again if I'm in Richmond! Their unique biscuit flavors and baked goods are always changing, so there's always something new to try! So cool!!

Cute little hidden spot. We chose this place for a quick meet up, but once we arrived realize it was "to-go only". We ordered and decided to go to a nearby park. We ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese and the biscuits and gravy with two vanilla lattes. Everything was good. The biscuits are the best! So fluffy and rich! The prices weren't too bad, what you'd expect from a small cafe. Parking wasn't hard to find, we got luck and found one right in front.

I ordered a Biscuit Sandwich (the BAP) and Biscuits N crazy, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The biscuits were wonderfully crafted in square shapes, though slightly dry. The Sesame Latte had a unique and intriguing flavor profile, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. The service was excellent - the staff was attentive, friendly, and quick to assist. Take out only, tho... so I have to eat everything in my car.

Coming here for breakfast was what's totally good as those biscuits are just ohhhh soo yummy like you can taste the freshness in them! My breakfast sandwich was perfectly prepared super yummy and just all around awesome as you really should come here in the morning it's just like the best along with that cake it was perfect in every way the icing was flavorful the cake was moist and just delicious like I was totally stoked on it! My friend ordered a pop tart she loved it and said it's the best I've shes ever had and I believe it as what I ordered was just as good! Overall super yummy biscuit breakfast sandwich and that cake ohhhh soo good if I lived in the area I'd come here all the time it's for that I hope to make it here again at some point for what's totally good in just many breakfast ways!

Fantastic breakfast spot that would easily become a regular haunt if I lived in Richmond. The bar acuity's are large, flaky, buttery deliciousness. Loved the homemade jam too, and their willingness to freshly brew iced tea for me.

Moist and tasy buttermilk biscuit is simply delicious. Even with a long line, its pretty quick. Super friendly service. Also had a yummy iced lavender latte i would order again.

Fire Flames I eat biscuits all day, it's the Richmond way This biscuit will put you in the camel clutch.

Always a great stop for breakfast. Coffee is great and the pastries unique and tasty. Oh, and the biscuits - the best!

On this date, 1/18/2024, marking my inaugural Yelp review with an enthusiastic 5 stars. My breakfast quest led me to Richmond, VA, and amid the sea of brunch options, the Early Bird Biscuit Company stood out. Specializing in biscuits, their menu boasted wallet-friendly prices - a coffee and a biscuit with housemade jam for under $5 in 2024 is a rarity. Visiting around 12:25 pm, this hidden gem in Carytown with a door handle shaped like a rolling pin exuded creativity. The cozy ambiance, adorned with biscuit-themed books, set a charming tone. Service was stellar, with a patient staff member guiding us through the menu. Opting for the specialty jalapeño and cheddar-infused biscuit with egg and cheese, a chicken biscuit with sweet pickle chips, an extra biscuit with housemade blackberry jam, a 12-ounce drip coffee, and a bottled apple juice, our total was a reasonable $20. The biscuit's crisp-fluffiness ratio was perfection, earning it a solid 8.8 on my scale. My only suggestion would be to offer handcrafted or cold-pressed juices instead of bottled ones. Despite that, the overall experience tempted me to pen this glowing review.

Recently moving to RVA, I found the food choices underwhelming. Trying various "Biscuit Companies," this one surpassed expectations. 1.) Their biscuits are vegetarian, addressing my pork-free preference, unlike other companies using undisclosed lard. 2.) Service was quick, suitable for a cafe-style, on-the-go meal before work. It's a fairly small restaurant but seating is available. 3.) Prices are very reasonable; a complete breakfast is under $5. I spent about $20 on 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, and a side. Overall, highly recommend the place!

If you love biscuits, go to Early Bird Biscuit Company. In an old building in the Fan neighborhood, lines form early. We went on a Saturday morning in the pandemic and it was about a 15 minute wait to get in. Once inside, capacity is limited, but moves quickly. We ordered the chicken biscuit and basic biscuit with jam. Keep in mind these biscuits are different if you are used to flaky biscuits. These come out warm and are well made. If you love fried chicken, the chicken biscuit is solid. There's also a little coffee shop inside that brews all kinds of coffee. The only thing to note is the service wasn't very friendly at all. It wasn't warm or inviting. It gave the impression that customers should go away. Despite that, it's still worth a trip for a quality biscuit.

Delicious! Casual modern farmhouse aesthetics, flakey crumbley HuGE square biscuits. I shared two biscuits with a friend: the ham biscuit - a perfect am treat, and the chicken biscuit - juicy meat with crispy fried outside and perfected with pickles. The change their unique biscuit flavor and when I went it was Oreo which sounds fun. Fast, cute place, open early, tasty, okay price - I'll be coming back!

Amazing biscuits! Good coffee! Friendly service, and a nice selection of other baked goods. Biscuits can be served plain, or as a breakfast sandwich, or even with sausage gravy. All options are delicious. This is clearly a beloved neighborhood spot -- the foot traffic was nonstop, and, on a Saturday morning, there was never not a long line, but it moved quickly. Only a few seats, so get it to go, but definitely get it!

I'm not much of a breakfast or biscuit person. So I may be a little biased. You won't get a fresher biscuit. Their biscuits are thick & fluffy. So they are pretty large biscuits. Make sure you have something to drink. But here goes. The sausage, egg & cheese biscuit are definitely worth the wait and ride. The sausage isn't some frozen sausage you get out of a grocery store. It's really great. But I love sausage gravy biscuits. A little salt and pepper will help it along. Their house made pop tart. Can you say ahmazing!!!'

Five stars for a delicious and perfectly made biscuit sandwich. I love biscuits but they are usually a crumbly mess and make terrible sandwiches as a result. These biscuits are just the right texture and hold up really well- barely any crumbs and absolutely no large chunks. It also did not taste like pure flour. The establishment was also very covid safe- they require masks, they wear masks, they limit how many in the store at a time and are take out only. I also got a seasonal latte and it was made to my specifications and was smooth without being too sweet. Overall, I would highly recommend for a quick breakfast or coffee in Richmond. I'd like to go back if in the area again.

YUM!!!! I stayed a couple doors down from here at an Air BNB and I saw this place on Yelp so I was going to give it a shot. SO good! Small. Not tons of seating. I went at like 8am. I ordered a ham omelet biscuit, a homemade blueberry pop tart for later and a large coffee. Service was crazy fast. My biscuit was huge! Definitely something to eat at a table but it was packaged to go. I couldn't finish it. My sister ordered the chicken biscuit with pickles. Also delicious! We shared the pop tart the next day, and I will say, I have tried these homemade pop tarts at 4 different bakeries and this was BY FAR the best one I've had to date. I would definitely go back again if I was in the area.

My husband and I were visiting Richmond for my birthday. Our Airbnb host recommended Early Bird Biscuit Co. and I was so pleased with our delicious breakfast. We each got the Saturday special (Bacon, hashbrown, cheddar and scallion omelet) along with an iced cold brew. Delicious! Service was friendly and fast. The decor reminded me of a grandmother's kitchen. There were a few places to sit inside but we opted to get our breakfast to go. I was only able to eat half and had to save the rest- so good!

Great shop, the biscuit are quite large, warm and flakey, you definitely feel like you're getting a bargain for the price and even more so for the taste. The biscuits are so dang fluffy, I'm not sure how they make them so light, and just a hint of butter, not overly greasy, just a light brushing on top. The bacon and egg and cheese sandwich was hearty, the bacon is actually crumbled and cooked into the egg which makes the sandwich stick together so that it doesn't fall apart in a mess. Every bite includes all the fixings, it makes it easy to eat in a clean fashion and enjoy it thoroughly as it's meant to be enjoyed. The staff is friendly and in this COVID environment, quite dedicated to keeping themselves and patrons safe. Masks are required upon entry and only 5 patrons are supposed to be inside the line at a time. They ask you to kindly wait outside once you've ordered, then they bring it outside to you. I appreciated their conscientiousness and diligence.

Food service and atmosphere were great! The biscuits are amazing as well as all the ingredients. Loved my bacon egg and cheese.

This is a cute restaurant. The service was good and the biscuits are delicious! I should have brought one to go. I will def be back when I'm in town.

I'll would wake up early for this any day!! The place was a small cute spot with limited seats and tables. Everyone is super friendly, even the customers eating inside were friendly, lots of smiles and "good morning" greetings at 9am on a Thursday. The biscuits and big and flakey. We got the sausage egg and cheese biscuit, biscuit with peach cobbler jam and the biscuits n crazy. I also got the seasonal iced brown sugar maple latte. Everything was delicious and fresh. The coffee was made perfect and not too sweet. The biscuits n crazy was our fave! It was a big biscuit and a cup of warm sausage gravy, it was really good and i highly recommend this!! They also had other homemade items like different flavored pop tarts and other lunch items as well. Great breakfast in Richmond!! Be sure to check this spot out!!

Friendly and welcoming staff who are easy to talk to and enjoy sharing their thoughts on the menu. Nice quaint breakfast spot you can come to for a quick to go meal or to enjoy on site. If you are looking for a simple breakfast with excellent coffee options come here. Biscuits on their own are fluffy and delicious. I appreciate the creativity with the daily biscuit special from peach cobbler to tiramisu biscuit. The daily biscuit sandwich features are basic and don't expect to be blown away. The fried chicken one could benefit from more seasoning, pickles and a sauce whether it might be honey or hot sauce. The hash brown biscuit was also okay and nothing to rave about. The hash browns could benefit from being crispier or more seasoned - a bit too mushy for the already fluffy and soft biscuit. The hash brown sandwich could benefit from adding a vegetable/ fried egg or a sauce whether pimento cheese or hot sauce. Definitely a spot to try and enjoy especially if you need something simple, easy, reliable and predictable.

Stopped by in the middle of my work shift since I was nearby, so glad I did! All of the employees the day that I went were so sweet and kind. Their energy was what I needed to help get me through the day! The decor is super cute and inviting. I walked out with some of their jalapeño cheddar biscuits which was their biscuit of the day. I'm so glad I asked about it because they were absolutely delicious! Good amount of cheese and chopped jalapeños throughout every bite. The biscuit was fluffy on the inside and had a great flaky, crunch on the outside - the absolute perfect texture. I also walked out with some of their buttermilk biscuit which was great too. I'm not too big on biscuits because they are either too dry or too heavy, but Early Bird does it right. Fresh, flaky, savory yet light and soft. Can't forget the house made jam, I want to put it on everything.

On Aug 11, I used my debit card here. My bank told me that I should use the debit card once after activating it. So decided to use it here and only here since I never use debit card to start with. Then on Aug 22, I had a fraudulent charges on my debit card. So be aware when using your credit card or debit card here. As for the food, the foods were amazing. Got biscuit and egg sandwiches and it was the best sandwich I have ever had. The coffee was amazing also, after tasting the coffee while I waited for the food. I had to order another coffee because it was so good. Food and drinks here = great!!! Getting your debit or credit card used as a fraudulent use = Bad!!!

Ambience is good. Biscuit is tasty. But they serve it to you in the form of a sandwich. The biscuit falls apart when you pick it up, leaving your hands messy. There is no bathroom or sink to wash your hands after.

Get there EARLY or you may be out of luck! Literally best biscuits around. I go for savory sandos- sub pimiento cheese (yum). Really cheap, really delicious, quick and filling. They're softball size and shareable but also light and not leaving you feel groggy! Try their very own brand of coffee beans from Blanchards, and home baked pop tarts. Have fun!
