What happened to the wonderful baked goods? The cinnamon rolls and fresh muffins used to be awesome. Nothing like that in their bakery cakes. Just a few cakes, some cake pops and apple cider donuts that were half the size of a normal donut. Sad. Won't bother stopping here again.

They have plenty of options, and an amazing bakery section as well. The service, quality, and selection are top notch. I love that Evie's at the Lake shares a space with SML Coffeehouse - so fun to look around while you wait for your coffee.

It happened to be Christmastime so as a bonus we found so many unique gifts to put under the tree. The staff was friendly and helpful at Corduroy and the latte and food were delicious. My husband and I split both the Grown Up Grilled Cheese and the Autumn Chicken Salad. There are a variety of seating options from intimate 2-tops high atop the vintage book section, to large round tables nestled in a private nook. Those who like to people watch can grab a table right in the middle of the store and enjoy the comings and goings of this unique locally owned gem. We will be back.

When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised to see two lines clearly marked: "call-ins" and walk-ins. The place had a buzzy, local-favorite energy, and the walk-in line was 8-ish people deep. I felt lucky that the call-in line was empty, so I posted up there and waited. I watched one employee work through the entire walk-in line, person by person. Once she finished, a man finally came over and asked if he could help me. That's when I learned there's actually a third, area for online orders -- off to the side, away from either line I could see. My food had been sitting there the whole time I stood waiting. A simple sign in line or a "have you already ordered?" from staff circulating the lines would fix this entirely.

3 - Good choice if you're in the area. Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more Monte Bello is a super small coffee shop in the lobby of an office building. I give them huge respect for having some outdoor space where our pooch could hang out with us while we sipped on our coffees. Unfortunately, it's right on a busy city street that's a little loud - not really a peaceful oasis. It's also kind of odd that the restrooms are an elevator ride up into the office to reach - a bit inconvenient. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable and they deliver a quality product. The coffee and baristas were both high quality and I'd happily visit again next time I'm in Lynchburg, but consistent with my scale, it's not a place I'd go too far out of the way to visit. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here
