    This place is SO hipster cool. There are a bunch of mini businesses inside once you enter the coffee shop. They even have a vintage record shop- so cute There is plenty of seating for studying! My coffee was good and I got in some good hours of studying. Definitely suggest you come here. Upstairs there is cool seating where you can look out the window too while sipping a drink and reading. Great study spot!!!!!

    The name of the place where the Little Green Hive is located.

    Located in a very "one of a kind" building named "CRAFTERIA" on Church Ave Downtown Roanoke, after reading their outdoor sign with a wonderful selection of coffees and hot chocolates, I decided to go inside to explore this Little Green Hive and see what this CRAFTERIA in the heart of Downtown Roanoke is all about. And what I discovered was this so called Little hive was full of a big selection of coffees, pasties, sandwiches, ice creams, among other items on the menu. It is the first business one encounters as one enters the CRAFTERIA. Today you can see it decorated for the Holidays and listen to Christmas music in the background. The cathedral ceiling at the entrance gives the place a majestic ambiance so deserving of the place. On the right side there is a comfortable sitting area with leather sofas and chairs to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries with friends. I ordered the Peanut Butter Latte. The server behind the counter was very nice and had my coffee made and ready in no time at all. The high quality of the cardboard material and design of the cup was a reflection of the exquisite taste of this unique combination of dark chocolate, peanut butter, and coffee. The place has another sitting area with small black marble tables and chairs. As I sat on a chair next to one of these tables enjoying the Holiday music I observed another employee preparing the pastries. On the walls of the place there are some paintings from a local artist for viewing and for sale. And in the middle of the place their are some other arts and crafts from local artists. There are also some other stores inside such as two small beauty parlors, a Puerto Rican Restaurant "Delicias Boricuas," and a vinyl record store. What an amazing environment in the middle of Roanoke to stop, have a bite to eat, drink a cup of coffee, and enjoy with some friends wonderful artworks and music. I highly recommend this place to everyone who is in the area and would like a wonderful and unique dining experience, and also make a suggestion to those involved in the invigorating the City Market Building to use this as an example of attracting people to an area at the same time that it serves the artistic needs of a growing community.

    Lovely location, cosy interior, many stalls with local crafts and produce. Great freshly brewed coffee, home made pastries, favs were cinnamon rolls and poppy seed-lemon muffins. Look forward to taste their smoothies.

    Entryway

    Liked the unique atmosphere- a really chill space (shared with a few different vendors) with a stairwell leading up to seating and lounge areas on the second floor with windows look out on the street below. Lovely service, gluten-free and vegan options, reasonable prices. Highly recommend the "Purple Haze" latte!

    It was fabulous. Just coming through from out of town looking for a great place to have a smoothie. Thrilled to find this beautiful old cafeteria with great coffee, cappuccino breakfast food, etc..

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.

In a short time, it has become the Coffee Shop in Vinton to go in the morning to enjoy a good gourmet coffee or tea, together with a breakfast sandwich, a bagel with cream cheese made in the house, or a sweet pastry. When I arrived to have breakfast, the place was almost full with people of all ages. In one corner two businessmen elegantly dressed in business suits with laptops were seated in one table with what seemed like talking business, a couple had just arrived and sat in another table drinking their coffee and socializing, two other men dressed more informal also with a laptop at another table discussing something, two young ladies seated at a counter with comfortable high chairs socializing, a husband and wife seated next to the Christmas tree enjoying some quality time together, and the manager of the place seated at a small table doing some work his computer. This not counting all those who came in to pickup takeout orders to go. One could tell that the community was taking full advantage of this beautiful and clean place with contemporary decor, large windows, and high ceilings. It also had a Community Bulletin Board on one wall near the wall for customers to post information on events happening as well as business cards of their businesses or services provided. When I arrived I was warmly greeted by a young lady employee behind the counter who was very knowledgeable about the menu of the Coffee Shop and explained to me the breakfast sandwiches that they had and took my order for one of them in a plain bagel and a large Mocha Latte Coffee. As soon as the order was ready she brought the items to the table where I was seated with a friendly smile, providing exceptional customer service. The coffee tasted absolutely Devine and was nice and hot; and the breakfast sandwich had a fresh plain bagel that was toasted to perfection, crunchy in the outside and soft in the inside, filled with fresh ingredients that together tasted amazingly delicious. Without a question, I would highly recommend this Coffee Shop to all reading my review and looking at my photographs accompanying it. This is definitely a relaxing place to go to socialize and spend quality time with family and friends, to do some work or have a meeting with work associates, or even for entrepreneurs to brainstorm ideas to start a business in the future or to make their current business grow. This definitely is a vibrant place where things are happening and the Town of Vinton and its community is clearly benefiting from it.

They also have another location in nearby Salem. I used the app for getting in line which typically works flawlessly. My time to arrive was 15-20 and upon arrival in that frame a table was ready. A host seated us with menus and silverware. Our group of four looked over the menu as a waitress arrived minutes later. She got the drink order and arrived back in short order. We were ready to order. I cannot remember what everyone got, but I had the Spring chimichurri special and added an avocado. The dining room was packed as was their outdoor patio. The noise was elevated, but not piercing. We had a table near the patio. I enjoyed my coffee as we waited for brunch orders. It's impossible to not be impressed with the hard working staff as they quickly moved through the dining room. After around 15 to no more than 20 minutes the food hit the table. The millionaire bacon is always a huge hit and recommend. Everyone's dishes were correct. My dish overall looked smaller than I've had before. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. The avocado add was two tiny pieces which was disappointing. When our waitress checked in I alerted her the avocado add on was underwhelming. She immediately addressed it with additional. She also got another water craft. Checkout was efficient up front. In my opinion First Watch offers a higher level service, good and atmosphere. I plan on returning with additional visits in Roanoke coming up this Summer.

We had a very nice waitress - food came out quickly. I wish I would have gotten some inside pictures - I'm a bit nervous when it comes to that - but it's spacious and trendy inside!
