About Manna Cafe

Located in the corner of the main lobby floor in the Bank of America building on East Cary Street, Manna Cafe has been serving downtown Richmond's workforce and visitors with quality lunches for years.

Despite having no cooking hood and doing everything on hot plates, our sandwiches are simply superb. We're known for our incredible soups, including turkey rice, chicken noodle, chicken pot pie, and our famous spicy turkey chili.

The box lunch is the best deal in Shockoe Bottom - any sandwich, sub, or wrap comes with chips, a cookie, and a soda. Come experience why locals keep coming back!

Kyle Carline

"I have had every sandwich, sub, and wrap on the Manna Cafe menu. It was a delicious and satisfying lunch food adventure. The place may not get the credit it deserves for serving superb lunches to the downtown area."

Jonathan Sanford

"I've gotta agree with Kyle, we are lucky to have this little cafe in downtown RVA. For the price you pay I think this place serves up some excellent quality lunches. Their sandwiches aren't going to win any awards for being revolutionary, but if you want a good sandwich that brings you back to the ole days of Drugstore Counter style sandwiches, this is your place."

Tauryn Lafelle

"So this place is a bit odd to understand. But in a good way. The main stock in trade appears to be sandwiches. But they have no cooking hood and do stuff on hot plates. I have had the sandwiches and they are superb... The best soup in perhaps all of the world!"
