The new café, nestled in the 7th & Porter corner of the Box and spilling out to porch tables, already has a loyal following in neighborhood businesses and friends. Chef Ellie Basch, well-known around Richmond for her culinary talents, her speedy marathon times, and her excellent adventures as coach for the Marathon Training Team, brings keen insight and exotic origins to the café: “I know how busy the Corrugated Box and other local offices can be during the week, so this is my opportunity to serve something delicious, light, and well-prepared right at their doorstep,” says Ellie, who grew up in Indonesia. Her cuisine combines the flavors and nuances of Asian and French traditions, and her healthy running obsession dictates consistently wholesome fare.

Savor, which offers a full-service coffee bar, innovative breakfast and lunch menus, and take-home gourmet dinners, is open Monday thru Thursday 6 am – 5:30 pm & Friday 6 am – 4 pm.
