It's part of the historic area of Lynchburg and has a nice brick line space that has been amply decorated. They offer a large vegetarian and vegan selection of both Indian and more Middle Eastern cuisine and because of the nature of the place, you can have a conversation about exactly what you want. I insisted that I wanted something spicy and managed to talk them into it. I got some okra that did have a significant kick to it and was otherwise fresh and aromatic. I also added a large chai which was sweetened to taste. I did not have room to really indulge on dessert, but nonetheless decided to take one small baklava to go. It was quite wondrous in texture and the flavor explodes out of it. The reason I had not been in before is that their hours are rather limited, but for anyone looking for vegan/vegetarian food in this part of the state, this place stands out.

Love the Hot and Cold cafe! They treat you like family there and the vindaloo curry is amazing!read more

First time here and don't know why…read moreI hadn't stopped in earlier all the times I've visited downtown. hubby got the mocha, and I got the Stag. Both were very tasty and we enjoyed them, although a little pricy. Even though we got it to go, we did stick around a few minutes to check the vibe. It reminds me of college - very casual and laid back. Like a giant living room with a mix of upholstered and not furniture. Plan to return to try some food.

A bit of a wait, but that was to be expected given that it was also Valentines Day. The hostess greeted us and kept us updated on an approximate wait time. Ultimately, waited for about 20 minutes. The wait time proved to be 100% worth! The menu had something to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Our waitress was swamped covering two stations, but so attentive to our table. Coffee, OJ and waters were delivered quickly. Once our order was taken, our food was delivered piping hot within 10 minutes. Our meals were incredibly delicious and very generous in portion size. Will absolutley return next time we are in town.

4.5 stars! Had a…read moregreat lunch with colleagues at this historic eatery in downtown Lynchburg. Autumn was an absolute gem. Polite, professional, attentive, welcoming... All while respecting the conversation going on at the table and being mindful not to interrupt. I started with a glass of sweet tea. One sip and I knew I was in the south, for real. Perfectly sweetened, like a glass of 'Southern Champagne' should be. I started with an order of fried pickles. The portion was more than enough to share and they were everything I wanted them to be. Battered and fried, and served with a generous portion of cool and creamy ranch dressing for dipping. A southern staple, and this place did it right. For lunch I had the Reuben with a side of fries. The bread was perfectly toasted and crispy, the sandwich was stuffed with lots of tasty corned beef and sauerkraut, and the fries were piping hot. I'm glad I had a light breakfast that morning because that sandwich was so filling and so good. I noticed that they also serve breakfast all day. My coworkers both decided to get breakfast entrees for lunch, and they looked amazing. Especially those biscuits. The table beside me ordered a huge plate of pumpkin pancakes. I could smell them from the second the server brought them out from the kitchen. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back to check out their breakfast options. This is a charming and quaint little eatery in downtown Lynchburg and I definitely recommend giving it a try if you find yourself on, or near, Main Street.

That was far from the case let me say the flavor on the two sandwiches my wife and I got here were phenomenal. We sat by a window and got to just relax as the river ran beside the property which just added to the overall aesthetic of the place. And the service was great - friendly and quick! We will definitely be coming back and especially with the warmer weather making this likely one of the go to lunch places in the burg!

One person in our party said her salad had the best dressing she's ever had. The fried pickles were good. The shrimp was good. One bartender was good. Cons - We walked in and basically weren't sure what to do. There was a woman at we thought was a hostess stand, but she never said anything to us. We finally asked if we needed to check in with her to get seated. We did. But it was kind of weird. One bartender was awful. Never made eye contact. Wouldn't take any orders. Acted like she wanted to be anywhere else. I thought the Caesar salad was ok. It came with lacquered salmon. I would have loved the salmon, but not lacquered. It couldn't be made to order. Ok fine. I ordered it the way it was described. There was nothing lacquered about that salmon. It also was shredded on top of the salad and was maybe two ounces. That's ridiculous. Our server wasn't very helpful and not very attentive. I'm sure many people have had great experiences there, but I'm not sure I would take the time to go back.
