We spotted the interstate sign for this amazing coffee shop while heading south on I-81 to go camping and couldn't wait to stop on our way home to Richmond. We visited on a Sunday morning, and the shop was buzzing with activity. One of the first things we noticed was the RV parking, which was such a wonderful surprise! We were a little nervous about finding a spot for our big rig, but there was plenty of room and easy parking available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating area was absolutely lovely, with comfortable seating, umbrellas for shade, and beautiful landscaping filled with flowers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was the perfect place to take a break, relax after a long drive, and let our dog stretch her legs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, the coffee shop was bright, fresh, and inviting, with a great selection of coffee beans and brewing equipment available for purchase.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It had that perfect small-town coffee shop feel with a modern twist -- a place where you can slow down, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and feel connected to the community.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoyed an iced oat milk latte, and my husband had an iced latte with cinnamon and honey. Both were delicious! We're so glad we found Roadmap Coffee and will definitely make it a stop whenever we're traveling through Lexington. read more

For years, I have subscribed to Roadmap Coffeeworks for years. I love their Blue Ridge Blend. Coffee, Coffee, Coffee. They have other Blends and other nations coffee. I try them. But I do always get the Blue Ridge bland. Sorry, i was making my coffee for the morning button and It made me sign and want to write a review. Subscriptions are cheaper and getting A certain amount is free shipping. That one shop in Staunton and I've been hooked. read more

A charming coffee shop that's definitely worth a stop. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and quick with great recommendations. You can tell they take pride in roasting their coffee and crafting each drink. The honey cinnamon latte, made with local honey, was absolutely delicious, and the espresso was excellent too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating plus a convenient drive-thru, it's an easy place to relax or grab a quality coffee on the go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We got an Americano and summer shandy. The summer shandy is a mix of lemon and cold brew. I think the drinks are good but not great. Service could be a bit friendlier but overall not bad! read more

I was passing by, thought this coffee shop would be a good stop. I was extremely underwhelmed. Their menu for non-coffee drinks was very small, they didn't even have matcha! The baristas weren't very friendly as well. Safe to say I won't be coming back! I was surprised that they are one of the top roaster is the us.... Not very busy the cookies look like chip-ahoy cookies packaged separately and way too expensive! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice building with outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drive thru was closed. Baristas were welcoming and friendly, smiling and helpful. They don't have a lot of flavored syrups which initially bummed me but after tasting the coffee I really didn't care. The coffee is delicious. Strong and flavorful. It was small, but excellent. The cookie and croissant were also good, but would have been better a bit warmer, at least room temp instead of cool. read more

*edit after owner responded* 5 stars for the coffee, it is excellent. They are a coffee shop so I should probably rate based on that anyways. Very smooth brew. I can see why it's rated to highly. I wrote my original review 1-Star review after having the muffin which was absolutely terrible. -10 for the muffin, genuinely one of the worst muffins I've had in my life, and I've tried "gluten free, non-dairy, vegan" muffins which were hardly edible. It was somehow incredibly crumbly and dense. It's VERY salty, I think something went horribly wrong with that batch. I made others try it and they gagged at the flavor. That being said, apparently they don't make the muffins themselves so there is no real way they could've know about it. read more

If only I lived in Lexington and could enjoy this coffee all the time. While I was in town I picked up two bags of whole bean coffee, a delicious beverage and a snack. The workers were extremely friendly and helpful- explaining their process and the delicious flavors notes of each batch. This is a must try for any coffee lover and make sure you buy a bag or two to take home. You won't regret it! read more

I ordered a dirty chai with decaf espresso. The shop didn't have chai but they did have London Fog so I ordered a dirty London Fog instead. I have ordered this from other coffee shops many times. The shop agreed to my order then chose to ignore my order and make just a London Fog. They stated they decided to this because it would taste better claiming they were "protecting me from myself". They offered to fix or refund the order. I had already waited 20 minutes and didn't care to wait any longer after they insulted me. I won't be back. You may not get what you order from here. A more appropriate response to this would have been making the decaf espresso and the London Fog separately and have me mix them myself. read more

Bang. Want coffee around the area, definitely hit Roadmap. Awesome coffee and specialty coffee drinks, local baked goods and the Coconut Crunch coffee crushed it. We bought 4 cans for the road. Great Artisan Coffee just off the highway. Highly Recommend read more

Always a good latte or London Fog. Service is friendly and the coffee hot. It's a nice stopover on a long road trip and I'm thrilled that a coffee shop near my daughter in Fredericksburg now serves their roast as well. read more

We decided to stop on a trip and I am glad we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is small but there is a window to show the beans and roasting process in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I decided to get a flight which was cool and the nitro cold brew was great. The prices were fair and really just seemed like a good deal. I would definitely stop again. read more

I saw a sign inside that boasted as being one of the top 12 coffee roasters on the East Coast. I agree and booked barked this in my Road-trip Bookmarks for a repeat visit the next time I'm in town. read more

One of my new favorite coffee roasteries! Colombia Don Ruiz - out of this world -- you must try this roast. Recently rebranded, they no longer offer coffee tours. However, be sure to try their coffee flight for a tasting of various brews. Everyone on staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about their coffees. Their baked goods are delicious as well. I tried the blueberry muffin, oatmeal raisin, and chocolate chip. Great space to enjoy a cup (or 5) as well as quiet place to work or collect your thoughts. There's seating outside as well, if you don't mind the road noise. They also have a drive thru if you're just passing through. read more

I usually wait a bit to post reviews, but I can unequivocally say that this is the best coffee I have ever had in my life. I'm actually sad to know this place exists since I'm going to crave it for the rest of my life. Good thing they ship beans. Autumn Spice latte was so delicious that I'm not sure I can ever stomach a Starbucks PSL again. Curse you, Roadmap, for being so, so good. read more

My family returned to this coffee place in June 2022 for a quick stop after our first visit in June 2021 (on a long return drive back to northern Virginia from Fayetteville, WV and the New River Gorge National Park). The name of this coffee place changed from Lexington Roasters to Roadmap Coffeeworks, but it's still provides an excellent option for ice coffee or an espresso drink. This time, I decided to pick up some coffee beans (Columbia Fudam Narino - light roast), which was delightful at home. The outdoor patio is dog-friendly (although it can be excruciatingly hot on a humid, midsummer day). The place has a simple but pleasant interior and clean restrooms. For folks driving between Blacksburg/Roanoke and points north along I-81, this cafe is an ideal pit stop as it's located about 1 mile away from the US 11 intersection with I-81 (northeast of Lexington, VA). Give it a try - you'll be pleasantly surprised by the superb quality of a cortado or regular coffee in this neck of the woods! read more

Taking off a star because the baristas were a little snooty. Everyone else seems like they have received friendly service, so maybe it was an "off" day? Or bc they could tell we weren't locals? They seemed like they were more interested in serving themselves coffee and talking to each other than serving us. One guy seemed like he didn't want to make eye contact with us. Once we placed our order, the service was quick and made properly. The coffee was REALLY good, so we will try it again if we are back in town. Maybe they were having a bad day. read more

Hubs and I visited the area for the weekend to go to a sweet little farmstead and do some hiking. We saw Roadmap from the road signs and decided to grab some joe before our hike in Shenandoah. They made one of the most perfect vanilla lattes I have ever had!!! People have to love their jobs to make coffee that good. My husband said his macchiato was fantastic. The service was friendly and you get to see into their roastery from the shop. Highly recommend if you're swinging through!! read more

A cute coffee shop in Lexington! My husband took our family on a surprise trip, and we found this place to drop by for coffee. THey have a drive-through, which is also really convenient. There coffee was delicious! We ordered a nitro and iced mocha. We were a fan of the iced mocha. Perfect amount of espresso and not too sweet. THe interior is a bit small for seating, but on nice days, I can see people relaxing outside. Highly recommend and hope to visit again one day! read more

Time for a quick coffee break at the Roadmap CoffeeWorks, rated one of the 12 best roasters in the U.S., according to Forbes. The Blue Ridge blend and macchiato, paired with a light and flaky cinnamon crescent roll, were delish! The folks at the counter were super friendly and service was awesome. The shop is nice and clean and has its own roaster in the back. We'll definitely be back. read more

I was very excited to have found this stop for coffee while we drove down to Alabama. The coffee was delicious and surprisingly the blend was The Kenya Blend. It wasn't like other Kenya's that I have had in the past. I found it to be missing some of the citrusy notes but it was delicious nonetheless. Overall, I would definitely make it back if possible for another cup of joe. read more

Holy macaroni- freaking delicious. If you're visiting Lexington- this place is worth the stop. Starbucks who? This place will make you forget those fake fancy shops exist- their coffee is just that good! So glad my sis in law told me about them! read more

Lexington Coffee Roasters recently rebranded as Roadmap Coffeeworks. The name may be different, but they still serve up the same great coffee. They serve a range of brewed, hand brewed and nitro coffees in addition to expresso drinks. As a both a tasting room and an in-house coffee roaster, you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee in their seating area and then take some fresh coffee beans back home with you. With plentiful seating and free wifi, Roadmap Coffeeworks is one of my favorite locations for working remotely. There is also a dog-friendly patio with several picnic tables. I have no complaints but wouldnt mind if they expanded their snack menu to include some hot items in the future (paninis, breakfast sandwiches, etc.) read more

Incredible spot, first time I've visited a "Tap Room" for coffee, sandwiches were delicious and some of the best coffee I've ever had. Absolutely must see spot if you're in the area. Servers were super knowledgeable but not pretentious. Outdoor patio is dog friendly, we had a blast. read more

Stopped in when I saw the sign on I-81 and I'm really glad we did! It's just a mile off the highway. They have plenty of parking and a nice outdoor seating area. They have a few baked goods inside and some prepackaged food snacks as well. I appreciated that they had a room dedicated to how to make coffee and examples of different brew methods. We got delicious nitro coffees that were perfectly smooth and creamy. We also bought a bag of coffee to make at home (with our own burr grinder/chemex set up). Bottom line:This was a great way to break up our drive and it helped that there were gas stations nearby to fuel up before getting back on the highway! read more

Remote location so glad we found on road trip. Fantastic roaster. One room dedicated to self guided tour about the process from bean to cup, includes window into actual roaster. Nice cup of cappuccino and nice cup of espresso in beautiful cup were enjoyed, as was the chocolate chip cookie which was soft and full of melty chips. They bake and sell 2 types of cookies and they also sell bagels. Additionally you can buy coffee paraphernalia, packaged coffees, and a few treats. They box beautiful gift packages. Knowledgeable and nice barista. read more

Stopped here a few times now when driving to Roanoke from DC. Each time it gets better. These guys know what they are doing and enjoy sharing their love and passion for coffee. As a newbie to the coffee world, this place is so much more then just a place to get a good genuine brew of coffee, you can take a tour of well and learn the whole roasting process. Seriously I felt like I was in a coffee science lab, but with a cool, homey touch not like that science lab you remember from college. They have many different options and you can buy their roast there or join their delivery service and have it come right to your door. The staff was super friendly. They have a few items to munch on , but this is a coffee expert heaven. They do have some tables inside and outside to sit and relax at. If you are driving by it is well worth a stop. Expect to pay a little more than normal due to the top notch quality they offer. Enjoy!! read more

Beautiful location, but a bit of a disappointment. Tasting flight was unavailable. Pastries were served cold, and coffee was okay.
