Almost Heaven is a quite popular baked goods, coffee, and pie/cake shop. I understand that the…read moredemand for the goods is high and the staff may be shorthanded, so I'm taking that into consideration. Trying to keep up with everything is challenging with low staff. The aesthetic of the edifice is alluring enough, and they do a great job with decorations. You're met with the sight of coffees, croissants, cheesecakes, and other goods that look very promising. However, what Almost Heaven does well with visuals, they lack in quality of food, which, as a restaurant, shouldn't be neglected. Regarding the former, the upkeep and cleanliness of the inside could certainly be improved. There were fruit flies in the display shelves and in the air, some dusty spider webs on the hanging lights above, and there were noticeable crumbs on the floors/tables. Again, I understand that there may not be enough staff, but the sight of fruit flies on the cookies and cheesecakes is off-putting. Regarding the food, there is a wide selection of sweets, from milkshakes, smoothies, cookies, cannolis, cheesecakes, and others. There's also paninis, melts, and other sandwiches with breakfast and lunch varieties. I have tried the Mountain Mama and the Breakfast Melt Croissant; the former was actually quite good but the latter was nothing special. I've tried the hot chocolate, several different cookies, a slice of the classic cheesecake, and the seasonal pumpkin pecan caramel pie. Unfortunately, I wouldn't order any of these again. Everything was too forward with sweetness. I get that desserts are supposed to be sweet, but it was almost as if the whipped cream was store-bought and that there was far too much sugar in the stale chocolate chip cookie. I'm not sure how long the desserts are kept in the displays, but it seems that it's too long. Lastly, wait times can take a while. I once ordered only a panini and waited 18 minutes for it to come out, and the pretzel bun was burnt. Ordering a coffee or other drink doesn't seem to have long wait times, however, so it's possible that the staff was prioritizing easier orders. Still, if the sandwich is "premade" as one of the employees mentioned, then 18 mins is too long to wait for one thing. Overall, if I could give 2.5 stars, I would, but I'll round up because I haven't tried the entire menu. Certainly a lot of room for improvement for AHD. The price for the quality of food is very mismatched, and unless they get better ingredients and have fresher goods, then I'll have to skip out of visiting the bakery again.

I've been here many times over the years and I've never had anything that wasn't good…read more Their lattes are top notch! I stopped in recently with my daughter and her boyfriend to grab a sandwich for me and açaí bowls for them. I initially wanted a sandwich that I was informed they were out of so I opted for the Avocado Sunrise and I'm kinda glad the other sandwich was not available because it was excellent. The employees here aren't always very friendly or welcoming and could definitely improve their customer service skills, but I try to never judge people for who they are because who knows what's going on in their lives, but I'd say you'd get a lot more repeat new customers if that was corrected and if they leave their attitudes and/or problems at home. The atmosphere is cool as it's located in an old building that was remodeled years ago and they did an excellent job of keeping all of its charm and glory. I highly recommend that you try all of their deserts, but tbh with you anything you get you'll be glad you did. Enjoy :)

It took 45 minutes to get a very small, very overpriced smoothie. The manager's response to us…read morepolitely asking why it was taking so long was, "we only have one blender" . What I wanted to reply was, " I have one blender at home on my counter, but if I was running a SMOOTHIE business, I would definitely think getting more than ONE blender would be a no brainer" Will never go again Would give it minus stars if I could. And to the lady who told them off as we were leaving because she was still waiting after 40 minutes, good for you, I totally agree!

We opted for two smoothies- we ordered the triple berry threat and the tried and true. You can swap out options without surcharge, for example- I didn't want soy milk so I had coconut milk blended instead. The smoothie was delicious, nutritious, and thick!! Just how I like it. They also serve beer, non-alc drinks, veggie nachos, smoothie bowls, and regular smoothies. $8 each without any additions. One size. Very yummy and filling smoothie. They were blended up quickly and served to our high top table :) very casual spot and cool to check out after some light shopping in Harrisonburg.

While driving around the plaza I found this gem surrounded by the traditional fast food, bar food, and pizza places. The second I walked through the door the atmosphere was palpable. The neon signs, the inviting colors on the wall, and the menu board that even my old eyes could read- fantastic start. As I began to look at the board one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could help, I said I was looking. She offered her assistance and said if you have any questions please ask. I was torn between 2 of the many many options. It was down to the Power Bowl, Playa Acai with chocolate protein topped with blueberry flax granola, banana, and peanut butter OR The Dolce Latte Smoothie, with Banana, peanut butter, chicory coffee concentrate, chocolate protein & coconut milk. I would have been happy with either choice. I asked the girl behind the counter what she would choose- she was had a big grin on her face that just made whatever she said I was going to get. She said both options are great but she is a big fan of the Dolce Latte Smoothie- WELP- I ordered the smoothie. It was absolutely delicious! I'd be happy to show a picture of the smoothie- but I drank all 20 oz. in record time!

It's supposed to have bananas in it, but there was absolutely no banana taste whatsoever. The quesadilla was even worse. It was basically empty. Each piece had maybe two tiny pieces of chicken, and the cheese didn't even cover the whole thing. It felt like I was paying full price for something thrown together with barely any effort or ingredients. For how expensive it is, this is honestly ridiculous. The quality is nowhere near worth the price, and I left feeling like I completely wasted my money. I won't be coming back to this or any other location.
