Ordering in advance got me a timely pickup and my drink was iced in front of me to avoid melting. They charge extra for takeout cups, but not for oat milk. My chai had a nice spice mix but felt like it was missing a little sweetness; they had some flavor options but I would like to think the drink should stand on its own. They also offer pastries from a downtown bakery, though their online inventory said they were out of most of them when I checked, whereas in store it looked like they had some. Given the reviews on the matcha, maybe I'll try that in the event that I return. For someone not seeking to go orders, it is a nice space to sit in.

Service was 100/10 & both the coffee & matcha were out of this world. The ladies who worked there took the time to explain how their matcha is made, give advice on making my own & really were so kind & welcoming. We got breakfast recommendations from a couple of locals and had such an awesome experience we wished we could take the whole place home with us. The place is also absolutely adorable. We loved the children's play area & the photography for sale. Will definitely return if we pass through town again.

After being awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants, businesses, and entertainment venues, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Bean Bliss Coffee Bar in Salem, Virginia, is a perfect example. As I drove by the window display of this quaint and one-of-a-kind coffee shop, I couldn't help but to think what kind of secrets that shop held. It wasn't just coffee; it was an experience, a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Once inside, its rustic design and cozy decor, created a warm and inviting atmosphere, in which to relax and enjoy an expertly crafted coffee, with a food item imported from local providers. Its walls showcased local artists' work, and its small living room with a sofa and coffee table, in the front of the shop, made one feel relaxed and at home. The owner herself, a friendly and very hospitable lady, welcomed me behind the counter, and explained how she wanted her coffee shop to be a place where members of the community could come to relax, work, and catch up with friends. When it came time to order, I ordered a couple of Bacon & Cheese Frittatas, a Cherry Danish, and a Mocha Coffee. Everything was amazingly delicious. While I ate there was another customer working on his laptop computer at another table, and a young lady customer arrived, ordered her coffee and breakfast and went to enjoy it at the comfortable sofa and coffee table area in front of the shop. Before I left, I went to the back to use their restroom, and before I reached it, there was a blackboard wall full of well wishes for the owner of the store, handwritten in color chalk, from customers of all ages. As I was ready to leave, I thanked the owner for her hospitality, and also wished her well. I highly recommend this Coffee Shop and encourage all those reading this review to give her your total support.

It's always nice to have Starbucks around to decompress after a morning of wandering around Roanoke. I spent about 1 1/2 hours here and thankful that there was seating availability on a Friday afternoon in March 2026. There was nobody that was in Starbucks when I was there, so I picked out a spot that had an outlet right next to the table so that I could charge my phone. The experience was good and typical. I enjoyed the quiet ambiance that came with being here during the workday. The drive thru was slamming but I ended up getting in my drink order. The two baristas working that day was amazing and they definitely brought their A game with them. Nobody in the store with me but the drive thru was stacked. I eventually ordered a trenta black tea lemonade, which hit the spot the day. The vibe was quiet and definitely helped me feel like I could actually live in Roanoke. While my phone was charging, I tended to my phone and worked with the Starbucks WiFi that was provided free of charge. The Starbucks WiFi signal was strong and definitely helped me with my work. All and all, it was a nice experience here at Starbucks like anywhere I go. Due to being a tourist and having that flexibility to be there during the workday, the store was very quiet and empty for me to focus and concentrate while living and working in a comfortable environment. I sat in a wooden chair accompanied by a table. It was nice and comfortable. Definitely a place to enjoy with food and drinks. While the local library is awesome, this doesn't have Starbucks drinks at your disposal. The staff here was very friendly and helpful, considering the drive thru situation at the time of my purchase. The overall experience here at this Starbucks location in north Roanoke, Virginia was very good and pleasant while being typical at the same time. I enjoyed the kindness of the restaurant and the music that often plays in a Starbucks. That's what I enjoy about Starbucks and my experience here at this location. The prices here are typical of any Starbucks, whether you get a hot drink or a cold drink and you can always get water for free. Starbucks is a coffeehouse that you can trust to get your favorite drinks. While the prices are competitive and slightly overpriced, the Starbucks brand is known worldwide, so you can be sure that you're getting a premium product. The trenta black tea that I ordered was good and refreshing. It helped me calm my nerves and helped me transition into the evening ahead that day. For the most part though, my experience here at this Starbucks location in North Roanoke was very chill and pleasant. The sounds of the blenders making espresso and frappunchinos was nice along with the house music that plays virtually constantly was music to my ears. And so, if you are looking for a chill spot to enjoy the downtime of the daily grind or need your daily Starbucks fix, consider coming to this Starbucks location in North Roanoke, if you're in the area. The baristas here are wonderful and great, even when they're trending to the drive thru window customers. They'll make time for you. This Starbucks location is located in North Roanoke, near the Valley View Mall and the Walmart. It's physically located at 4801 Valley View Boulevard NW. Like all Starbucks globally, they accept the local currency in cash as well as major credit cards. Mobile payments are good too, via the Starbucks app. As far as parking goes, there's plenty of parking here for y'all who drive. Just park around the valley view mall and walk on over. There's also limited parking around Starbucks itself and there's the aforementioned drive thru for added convenience. If you are like me, bus route 15 comes to the Valley view mall, so you need to walk from the bus stop. Route 25 comes into the area too, but you'd have to walk 2 miles from the Roanoke airport bus stop. Of course, there's always Uber and Lyft to get you to where you want to go, here to North Roanoke Starbucks, when it is primary destination #1 for your first stop of the day or night in the area. And so, Starbucks is a cool little place to come to when you want refreshments. The baked goods are delicious too. I usually head for their brownies, but during my time here in Roanoke, I decided not to. Maybe in the future when I have more time to spend in Roanoke. Till then, it's a nice place to stop by if you're in the area. 4.5 stars for the overall experience. Support local! B+

The folks who work here are all cheerful and know their java sciences. Lately I have been shifting to Americanas or Latte Macchiatos. Oh, and they have a drive through. I don't know why but Roanoke lacks many coffee drive-thru windows. This feature alone makes cause for 70% my trips to this Starbucks. The only reason I downgraded this location to four stars is they don't have space to work if your group is 3 or more. All the table sets are for 2. So with larger groups I go down the road.

They do have a QR to scan but that's not conducive to driving/navigating the lanes. There are two lines and people standing with pads to take your order. Very quick and efficient system. You won't wait long at all. There's music pumping out and people working there are having a good time. The person taking the order was patient and friendly. You can pay when you order or cash at the pick up counter. The cashier was just as nice too. Ordered a large house blend with one pump of sugar free carmel syrup and one pump of sugar free vanilla. This is the same as a blondie but was nervous ordering that in case it was overly sweet. This has a touch of taste. Probably should have gotten two pumps of each. Rookie mistake on my part. Also ordered a cold brew with cold foam. Asked if there was sugar in the foam and was told yes so got it without sweetener. They give you maybe - seriously, like maybe a 1/4 tsp of foam on top. So, the drink is very strong without added creamer/sugar AND cold foam. Aside from the rookie errors - again our problems since never been - the coffees were just okay. Wouldn't go out of my way to get again (we took slight detour from our route). However, if one is in the area and it was convenient would for sure try again.

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."

And The BiblioPub is the perfect example. Located on Campbell Ave, in Downtown Roanoke's West End District, almost next to the Locker Room Lofts, The BiblioPub calls itself a Bookstore, Coffee Shop, and Beer & Wine Lounge. With a Cafe Menu divided into Sandwiches, Coffee and Tea, and Beer & Wine, it also stocks current pastries and sweets from locally owned bakeries. As soon as I found out of its existence, and reviewed its website, I immediately headed over there to discover what this place was all about. What I found completely amazed me. A large open space with furniture arranged in such a way as to create warm and cozy spaces where people can go to read, eat, drink, view and purchase used and new books, and socialize with one another in a cozy and comfortable environment where they can get together with old friends or meet and make new ones. A welcoming and friendly staff consisting of two ladies were situated behind the bar counter, where they greet and meet with their customers, take their orders, and bring the orders to the tables where they are seated. If the order is for an alcoholic beverage, I saw them checking the person's ID before processing it. They also were chatting with the customers seated at the bar drinking some beers. There are bookcases full of used and new books, reasonably priced, so one could get a sense of the book there and decide if to purchase it and take it home with them. Since I already had dined, I ordered a lemon muffin and a large Iced Café Latte. After paying with a credit card, I went to sit down with my muffin and one of the staff brought me the coffee when it was ready. I believe this is a wonderful concept for a place where one can go, enjoy reading a good book, have a snack or light meal, cool down with an Iced Coffee, beer, or a glass of wine, while socializing with friends in a safe and cozy environment.
