“My wife and I visited Chris’s custard for the first time today it was very enjoyable even got to meet Chris great guy I also thought it was cool to see other people working there with a disability as well. It was also fast service and very friendly We will be going back there again for sure.“

“First off, I would like to apologize because I told my friend I didn’t understand the short hours. Now that I have experienced Gina’s I understand that you can’t cook food that good all day long or every day. that being said it was well worth it. I’ll probably be eating three times a week“

“Move over Starbucks, I have a new favorite coffee spot. My fiancé and I had a pleasure meeting the owner at Cello coffee house & cafe Saturday evening. Not only was he friendly, welcoming and just a genuinely great man, he served up the best coffee! We tasted a few of his homemade ice cream flavors and they were the better than anything you could get from any container. We even brought home baklava and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. We love supporting these small businesses that pack a punch in our community with such amazing products. If you are ever downtown, make sure to give them a visit! You will NOT be disappointed.“

“Hard to not enjoy the atmosphere here. I come to work when I need some chill time and focus, but they can get really busy too. Their specialty coffees are pretty fun. Would love to see them add something a little spicy to their menu. You're likely to find good food trucks nearby too.Dietary restrictions: They offer non-dairy options which is nice“

“Besides the fact the coffee is probably the best I've ever had, the staff goes above and beyond to be accommodating especially for those who can't leave their dog in a car on a hot day to get a good cup of coffee! I can recommend this place enough!“

“Every Wednesday Sidecar has a Neighborhood Night with a 3 Course Menu Special which they email you ahead of time in order for you to have time to make a reservation if you think you would enjoy the items mentioned. This Wednesday, the appetizer was Seared Sea Scallops, the main entrée was Beeler's Duroc Pork Chop, and for dessert Biscoff Ice-cream. I happen to like these three items so I decided to make a reservation and go try out this restaurant for the first time. I arrived at 5:00pm sharp to my reservation and was greeted by the friendly host with a welcome smile. I was impressed by the warm atmosphere of the place with lots of wood accents and hunter green painted wall lined up with booths on one side and a long bar with many stools on the other side. At front there are a couple of small rooms with a few tables as well. The host took me to one of the booths in the center of the restaurant and the waiter came by to introduce himself and bring a glass of cold water that had a wonderful taste. In water the more tasteless it is makes for the best taste. I told the waiter that I was going to have the Neighborhood Night Menu of the Day and I also ordered a few slices of a Baguette with butter to start with while I waited for the food to be ready. The Seared Sea Scallops appetizer arrived and was outstanding. The waiter came by my booth at the appropriate times to check on me and fill my glass of water with more cold water. The Pork Chop main course was a nice size and very tasty. I was very satisfied with the portion size and with the flavorful cuisine. After feeling full and very satisfied with the food. I asked for the dessert that was truly a sweet complement to complete this wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for when you want to have a nice gourmet dinner, alone or with family and friends.“

“Crumbles cinnamon rolls are simply the best in downtown! They have a good cup of coffee and good biscuits too! And the prices aren't terrible. I've paid more and been less pleased at other breakfast places downtown that I could name. Crumbles staff is ALWAYS friendly, ALWAYS make me feel like they are glad to see me walk in the door, and ALWAYS wish me a great day! It is a pleasure to be a semi regular customer. Best wishes!“

“This place is a real gem. The service is always friendly and fast. They have a lot of good flavors of Boba tea, homemade Gelato, Macarons, and other sweet treats. Soothing music, and lots of cool anime posters and other artsy decorations make it a treat for more than just the taste buds.Under new management this year, the quality has remained consistent and the new staff are wonderful. The new decor blends well with the remaining original elements. Also now has a giftshop display with lots of cute little figurines.Kid-friendliness: Vibrant decor and cool anime theme posters will excite kids and the dining area is fairly open. They will LOVE the sweet treats.Wheelchair accessibility: Newbrick sidewalk with handicap ramp“

“What a gem of a place! - I was looking for "not-starbucks" on my drive to NC from Maryland. What amazingly wonderful and upbeat folks...serving with JOY, from the heart. The menu is massive and the vibe is local and sweet. They were not kidding when they said the iced tea is good. I'm a tea snob and wow, they nailed theirs. They make it with spring water and added tapioca pearls to make it fun! Stop in. Be prepared to smile. You will not be disappointed! AND!!! If you've got road fatigue with the family, this is a great place to stretch your legs and play yard games with the kids. Enjoy!“

“They do such an amazing job supplying and keeping our coffee needs stocked here at Bellacino's. They are always friendly and accommodating. There are hardly ever mistakes made, but when there is a mistake it is easily handled and done so in a polite friendly manner. I highly recommend H & C coffee especially for restaurants. They go above and beyond to make your experience great, and the coffee and tea tastes fantastic.“

“This place is great!They have a couple of gluten-free pastry options, some delicious breakfast and lunch items, and a bunch of fun drink options. Drinks include coffee, lattes and smoothies; check out the menu pics for details.Atmosphere is chill, well lit and has nice natural light coming in the big front windows.Service was exceptional, friendly, helpful and quick.We're in town visiting friends and we'll definitely be back to One Love.Dietary restrictions: Some gluten-free options. Typical milk alternatives.“

“More and more often there's service issues here. Today there was no ordering ahead with the app then with only one vehicle ahead of me to order at the drive through it took 18 minutes to get through. They were out of most breakfast items but I couldn't find out until in line. Started going to other vendors and other less convenient locations“

“Why go to Starbucks? This is a great local place for coffee and food. The staff were charming, professional and friendly.The coffees were what we needed and the egg and bacon burrito was exactly right and delicious.We were in a hurry so got our order to go, but reluctantly because the place itself is so welcoming. Next time we’ll take the time to sit by the fire.“

“Great coffee shop. Very historic building with conveniences all around. Coffee selection is great. Pastries and breakfast taste good. Staff is quick to take orders and kitchen gets food out promptly. Greta place just to relax and sip your coffee.“

“I study at this location at least twice a week. They do a great job always handing out free samples and they always have water on hand. This is my favorite Starbucks in the Lynchburg area. Luke and Grace are super friendly. Luke greets everyone who walks in and is always smiling. I love this Starbucks being my third place.“

“My favorite place to come in the area. Spacious but cozy, and really great on a rainy day. The Enigma roast that they have today (11/21/2023) is probably my favorite roast I have had from here, and I really love all of them a ton. We recommend RND coffee to all of our friends from in town and out of town.“

“First, let me say that the pastries are excellent and everyone is incredibly friendly. We had both of the mini quiches (loved) and a London fog croissant that looked not great but tasted amazing. We had some sort of free form breakfast strata which was ok. The coffee was awful. I’m not exaggerating. Watery, no flavor, not quite right. We had both a drip coffee and a cortado, and neither resembled anything like they should have. Basically, come here for the pastries and baked goods, skip everything else.“

“Ordered custom blueberry cheesecake for my mom's birthday. They were so friendly and accommodating; answered every question I had with the best attitude and cheerfulness. The cheesecake was Soo Good OMG! They will be my go-to for cakes!“

“Great service and flavor! With only one employee working, I received the best chai latte of my life in under a minute. There was a huge line and they delivered stellar service, even handling an extremely rude and out-of-pocket customer with grace. In addition, this is a wonderful atmosphere for studying or a chat. I highly recommend this coffee shop.“

“I used to really love this place and go almost every week day but now I kind of go there maybe once a week and only because it's conveniently located but the convenience factor has taken a nose dive because of one recent development: When I pay $5 or $6 for a specialty iced coffee is it too much to ask that it comes with a lid that won't leak? It drips all over my hands all the way to my office and I have to change cups when I get there. If ya get a shipment of faulty lids why not just send them back? I'd rather have no lid at all than the illusion of a lid.“

“I tried the butterbeer latte and plain latte. Both were good. The flavored lattes were sweet but not over done with syrup. I also tried the cheese danish and cinnamon roll. The Cheese Danish was my favorite of the two. The Danish pastry is made very well, the filling is more of a custard flavor. The cinnamon roll has great flavor and size. It is a dryer less sweet version. Great to accompany a coffee.“

“I really only go for the coffee, but it has been excellent every time. Staff are super friendly and welcoming each time. Even if I'm just doing drive-thru. But what impressed me most was when the place was absolutely slammed a few months ago, with a long line of cars, and long lines in store at the counter. Staff were under a lot of stress, but the baristas were on fire, flying through their orders. And the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff never cracked.“

“Ask for CAMERON!!!She went ABOVE ⭐️ and BEYOND ? to make my order! She went out of her way to ensure the order was spot on! STARBUCKS has a MANAGER in the making under their belt…THEY BETTER RECOGNIZE HER POTENTIAL OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL!“

“My wife and I just moved into the area recently, and were looking for a place with pool tables and my wife found this place. We passed by it a few times before our first stop and noticed the giant coffee pot attached to the roof of the building which is something we look for in unique places to stop in. One night we decided to visit the Coffee Pot in the late afternoon and found the place mostly quiet and empty. There was a fire going in the old fireplace which was unexpected, but shouldn't have been after I learned about the bar's history. My wife and I enjoy the occasional dive bar, we have for a while. For us, it is a nice change from the other mainstream venues we visit, and the patrons and regulars have always been welcoming and friendly. The Coffee Pot was no exception. As other reviewers have stated, it is still a smoker-friendly bar and in these times it isn't often a crowd pleaser, especially for first-timers. However, we have found it does weed out certain types of patrons who sometimes can't suspend their complaints and enjoy something completely different, historic in this case, and seemingly off the beaten path. We stayed to play pool, the goal of our visit, and then stayed for one of the band's sets. We also ordered sandwiches/hot-subs as well which didn't take long to get and the food was fresh and hot considering the Wednesday night crowd there had kept the kitchen busy and they were also short staffed. Their Wednesday night house band has been a mashup of different bluegrass players (musicians) over the last 25 years. One component of the band, and the bar, they are deeply proud of - we get it and we respect that. Plus other mainstream players, Richey Valenz, Dickey Betts, to name a few have graced their stage at some point in time. We'll be going back this Wednesday as we were told the house band is giving the stage to a younger bluegrass band to encourage and support younger bands in the area. Again, a nice change from other live music venues in the county for us to sample and enjoy. Like a good Irish friend of mine told me a long time ago... "If you don't have fun, it's your own fault."“

“I stop at Krispy Kreme for the Holiday doughnuts and a dozen free glazed! I stop there CONVENIENTLY on my way to my support group. Everyone enjoys their treat first thing in the morning and I have PLENTY to share with other staff members and more to take home.“
