Not just great coffee, but great vibes too! Outstanding customer service and very friendly staff…read more Genuinely friendly, not fake or forced lol. I'm a bit of a coffee snob living in the Pacific Northwest and they deliver on their espresso drinks. Great menu for breakfast and lunch. My avocado toast was delicious. They put a hot pepper jam on it too, not to much but enough to give it a lil kick and added flavor. I wanted to stay another night just to come back but have to hit the road. Highly recommend if you're in town!

Amazing! More than I could ever ask for. First, amazing…read morestaff! I went in bright and early 6:45am. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Get the CINNAMON RAISIN PANCAKES, while you still can. Perfect crust! So cinnamon-y sweet I ate the whole thing without syrup! Soft scrambled eggs were like heaven. Pork sausage links were so juicy. The grilled potato's so, so good, paired with the sausage it was the perfect amount of salt. I also got a side of sautéed mushrooms, you cannot go wrong with that combo if you love all of these things. The chef really cares for his craft. The vibe of the Acorn Hill Lodge And Bistro is absolutely adorable. Neon light sign in the window, Christmas lights wrapped around supports. Not too bright, not too dark. Again, perfect for early morning! They have more amenities and businesses on sight I hope to check out in the future. No photos, I ate it all too fast. Sorry, not sorry. 10/10! Get those Pancakes!

The service was terrible. The waitress didn't come to our table, I had to flag her down to just ask…read morefor water. We waited 45 minutes for our meals, and it was not busy at all. The waitress never apologized or explained. I had to ask for a box and the check because she was just looking at me without saying anything. Also the food wasn't fantastic either. The eggs weren't totally cooked, the quesadilla was soggy on one side, and I asked for an English muffin but got white bread instead. We asked for berries on the French toast and that was not added. For waiting 45 minutes the meal wasn't anything special. Im giving it a 2 star because the food wasn't disgusting and the environment was relaxing and laid back, oh and the friendly black cat when we walked in was cute.

Troublemaker's got my vote--will be back!

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

The service at this restaurant is impeccable. I know someone complained about the overly friendly…read morestaff, but I would prefer that over many of the other places in town where the staff could care less if you were in the place or not. I happen to like really friendly staff, as that is an open door to build a relationship relationships between a business and a consumer. I like it when they remember my name and what I like to eat. Now let's get down to the actual reason for the three stars. I ordered a Waygu smashburger, which was $17 including french fries. I'm from California so this is a normal every day price for me. The hamburger was not exceptional, but it was good. I enjoyed it. It was not overly seasoned and the meat was a good quality and it was pretty good size. I was able to cut it in half and enjoy the other half later. My review is for the french fries. I realize they're fresh cup fries, but I eat at restaurants all the time and I'm able to have crispy fresh cut fries. These were soaked in grease, Wimpy, and the seasoning obviously has sugar in it, which really came through because they were over seasoned. I do not like wasting food and I tried to figure out a way to save these fries so that I could actually digest them, but there was no saving them. My recommendation to this restaurant is to work on your french fries or eliminate them, offer a side salad or offer potato chips with your hamburger. One you will not waste food and you won't risk a bad review. The second reason for this review was the coffee. I ordered a decaf Americano. I'm not sure where they're getting their roast, or if the barista was just not trained on how to pull a proper espresso to make the Americano, but the coffee was very bitter. I'm very particular about my coffee and there's no reason to serve a bitter Americano. The positive: love biscuits, and I really love the ambience of that place. It is truly a market where you can find just about anything including gifts and gourmet foods. I think they could really enhance that environment by adding a whole spice section with unique spices because there's no place in Lynchburg where you can find those. It's such a great location and such a nice vibe when you walk in the door because the staff breeds you with a smile and genuine kindness. They have just opened so please take this review with a grain of salt and give it a try for yourself. I would definitely have the Burger again, sans French Fries.
