    Blueberry lemon ice cream
    Sarah E.

    Small diner, acoustics make for loud-ish environment. A tiny disorganized. Food was decent. You pay at a counter and seat yourself. No servers, which is fine. Outdoor seating. Good prices. Ice cream is excellent. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

    Some black cherry ice cream at the drip

    Very friendly staff, delicious food, beautiful view of the mountains and the town :) they made us breakfast even though it was past breakfast time and a delicious chili with grilled cheese. All the ice cream looked delicious so we settled on a black cherry waffle cone. They even brought water out for the pooch!

    Great food, super nice staff, milk shakes were awesome! We had a great time, thank you.

    Bologna sandwich with fries
    TrailBlazer P.

    This place is awesome! We came here when we were searching all over for an open restaurant/ store in the area during a holiday. This cafe was open, and I'm so glad we came! They had great food that was prepared quickly. I got a fried Bologna sandwich with fries, onion rings, and a footling hot dog. It was all very tasty, and I wish I could've tried other things on their menu. The thing I liked best was their home made unsweet tea, it was so rich and flavorful! The people working in the cafe are very friendly and quick to serve you. Overall, it's a cute little cafe to get really good food at. My only advice, come close to opening, as the restaurant can get busy, especially during a holiday season.

    One Love Coffee House is more than just a place to get coffee. It was created with a focus on…read morecommunity and connection; providing a space for customers to relax, socialize, or work in a comfortable environment. As you enter the Coffee House doors, you begin to see the above take form. There are different seating areas with comfortable furniture. There is an area where paintings from locals of the community decorate the walls and are for sale. Another area with arts and crafts for sale as well. Free WiFi so customers can drop by and do some work as they drink a cup of coffee. While I was there, a customer did just that. The owner gave me a warm and friendly welcome and explained all the food items they had for breakfast and lunch. They have freshly baked New York Bagels shippedfrom New York daily. To drink I ordered a medium Caffè Mocha. To eat I ordered a Breakfast Sandwich with a Cloverdale Plain Bagel, with Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. And finish with something sweet, a Cherry Danish. The Mocha was amazingly good The Bagel was very large and fresh; crunchy on the outside and soft and moist ingredients the inside with a nice size portion of Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. I spent some time there and was able to meet one of the employees who happened to arrive during this time. I also met a nice older couple who enjoy eating at different restaurants and I recommended them Crooked Shoreline Steak and Seafood from Daleville, which I just finished eating there and few days before, and was the first to review this restaurant for Yelp. They loved the oral recap of my review and promised they would go that same event to dine there. They in turn recommended me Nakhon Thai Cuisine which I will be doing there and reviewing for Yelp next Tuesday. Amazingly, what I wrote about at the beginning of this review did take place during the time I was there. God has blessed this Coffee House in a very special way, and it was providing more than just food and drinks for the body, but also for the soul. I highly recommend this Coffee House to all reading this review and viewing the photographs taken for it. In this day and age that it is hard to find a place like this to enjoy a cup of coffee, meet interesting people to socialize with, and do some productive work. This Coffee Shop has a refreshing concept that everyone in the community should take advantage of and contribute to its success as well as benefit from it.

    What' a great place! Loved it!! We stopped in for lunch after exploring Natural Bridge State Park…read more We had a group of 5. Seating was a little challenging at lunch time, but the picnic table on the front porch was perfect. Between us all, we had the BLT, turkey Reuben, California turkey special, and the tuna melt. Oh! And they've got fresh-baked cookies!! All of the food was excellent! The service was perfect. I highly recommend you visit next time you're in the area!

    Our visit was going well until the owner chased me out into the parking lot to say I owed her more…read moremoney for an item I had paid for while she was in the back on the phone and another staff member rang us up. She demanded I give the item back or pay her another $15 as she said she hadn't written the sale price in red on the sticker. It felt like she was saying I had.... like I was trying to steal... I was so taken aback I just gave it back to her and she brought me a $10 bill for it into the parking lot. Strange and embarrassing and she was aggressive about it. Prior to that we had all gotten lunch and enjoyed a delicious meal and wandered around the shop looking at the little knick-knacks for sale on some shelves by the dining seating area. My mom got a chicken salad sandwich on sourdough bread, I had a turkey reuben, my husband had a pastrami reuben and my father-in-law had a chili and grilled cheese. Food was out quickly and it was ALL delicious. I tried the chicken salad and it was some of the best I've ever had. Huge portions and fresh food all homemade (the chili was good). They had some fresh pies and pastries for sale as well - everything looked delicious and fresh and homemade. In the end, I felt so upset that we went back and said I wanted to return the other small item I had purchased, a little bumblebee tea light holder, she asked why and we explained we didn't like how the other issue went down and she sincerely apologized and said she hadn't handled it properly and offered to give it as a gift as a gesture of good will. She was kind and explained she's selling and had taken a phone call in the back and was stressed. I understand and her apology was sincere. I appreciated that. All in all - cute shop, good food, cute items. After we sorted the issue - I'd happily come back. Sounds like it is about to be under new management so not sure how much it will change. Hopefully the chicken salad stays the same! YUM.

This little shop is fantastic. From 8 AM into the afternoon, they offer delicious coffee, tea, hot chocolate, pastries, and snacks that feel both cozy and elevated. We had hot chocolate, tea, coffee, a pain au chocolat, and a butter croissant -- everything was warm, fresh, and absolutely perfect. It was so good that a few miles down the road, I seriously considered turning around to get more. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, answering all of our questions without rushing us (there were enough staff working that there was no line). The atmosphere is clean, bright, and inviting -- the kind of place you want to linger in. Next time we're in Lexington, this will be a daily stop. Highly recommend.

I went ahead with that, and it was both redundant of classic ice cream sandwiches, but also delivered a highly pure dairy flavor typical of quality gelato. I got a Matcha to balance out the sweetness. While it looks a little foamy on top, it was a very strong, almost grass flavored beverage that was appropriate to the circumstance. Some premade grab and go food options may be decent, but did not appeal to my needs at that time.
