LOVE Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House! We visit the lake once or twice year and I go every day we're there to get my caffeine fix. The s'mores latte is usually my go-to, though I've had several different drinks here and all have been great - hot or iced. They also have some really nice cafe food items that are nice for breakfast or lunch. We've had a number of their baked goods and have never been disappointed. We usually pick up several things to have at our rental for breakfasts and desserts. I've been often enough to make sure and get some of the seasonal options you can't always get. Their fall items are especially good. They've also got some cool merch and gift items. I've added a couple of pretty mugs to my coffee station here at home. The staff is always friendly and are very helpful with suggestions on drinks and food. If you haven't been in, you're really missing out. read more

Continuing my alphabet series with S is for Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House, 1 of 2 for letter S; both places out of town for me. My girlfriend's parent's have a house by Smith Mountain Lake, and she recommended SML. We were down there during the week around 4th of July 2024. We went the day before the 4th on Wednesday, July 3, 2024. In terms of the quality of drink & food, it's subpar, but staff was friendly & accommodating, which gets it from 2 to 3-stars for me. We went for lunch getting a turkey wrap & iced chai. Turkey wrap was decent, but it was kind of a small amount of meat & wrap overall. It came with chips. It wasn't that much food, but I didn't care too much as I was ok with a bit lighter. As for the iced chai, it was weak. It was mostly milk, not much of the flavoring. I told them to add more chai to it, which they did but it was kind of too late. They were nice and remade me a latte drink since I didn't like the chai. The latte was better, but not great either. My g/f agreed afterward that SML was weaker than she remembered. It's a cute place with a gift shop, nice staff, but drink especially was subpar. read more

Very disappointed visit today . I ordered a hot matcha latte with a pump of raspberry syrup. I received an iced matcha and no raspberry syrup . I told the girl I had ordered the drink hot but would take it as I had already waited long enough . The order ahead of mine had 4 drinks , 3 of which were hot and none were marked so the guys were trying to figure out whose was whose . With only one location now I would think there would be more focus on service . read more

Stumbled upon this coffee shop while my husband was renting a boat. I'm normally a black coffee drinker but decided to try one of their specialty coffees - a salted caramel latte. I ordered it with an extra shot of espresso. It was prepared perfectly. They also had freshly baked cinnamon rolls - they were ginormous. Bought one to share with my family of six. We all loved it. This is a cute coffee shop, with plenty of seating ;sofas in one area and tables in an adjacent room. They also had some really cute gifts and artwork for sale. Will definitely be back! read more

Updating my review. The first time I visited Smith Mountain Lake Coffeehouse was shortly after they opened. I have been back several times since then and the overall experience has improved tremendously. They now ask if I want cream for my coffee and ask if I would like the bagel toasted instead of serving it to me cold. They employees are much more friendly as well. So glad to see the improvements. Changed from 3 stars to 5. read more

I ventured over to the Smith Mountain Lake Coffee house for a morning coffee and breakfast sandwich and left with a few slices of cheesecake for dessert later, too. I loved my nitro cold brew and the sunrise bagel sandwich was also good. Both my significant other and I enjoyed the two slices of cheesecake for dessert later in the evening and I personally preferred the cookie dough cheesecake over the strawberry. I did feel that the bagel sandwiches and cheesecake slices were a little pricey, but given their prime lake location, increasing food prices nationwide, and staffing shortages that are forcing higher wages, I understood. Overall, this spot has nice staff in a cozy location and great products. I hope to be back someday to try their lunch menu! read more

We made a couple stops here this past week. The coffee house is located at Bridgewater marina on the top floor with indoor and outdoor seating. We love that we can boat there and there's plenty of courtesy boat slips. Their coffee is good but the cookies were the show stopper. My kids got a double dousey which is two VERY large chocolate chip cookies stuffed with vanilla icing (a bit sweet for me but delicious). Another day, my kids got the lemon cookies with raspberry icing which was amazing. My husband and I got the s'mores coffee and salted caramel which were also good. read more

A cute place inside in a very convenient location. Can dock your boat there or park your car. One of the busiest parts of the lake. We ordered several caprese sandwiches. They were okay, more like turkey sandwiches with a slice of mozzarella as the cheese. The roast beef sandwich was also fine. Wouldn't order a bagel again, very hard. I enjoyed the berry salad (I got it with balsamic and would again). Everything on it seemed fresh and there was a good ratio with all the ingredients. Also tried a few bakery items. They have a huge assortment and they change often. The apple cinnamon crumb cake was good (the top was yum yum yum) and the raspberry lemon cake was as well (very dense so filling). The chocolate croissant had a lot of filling but we couldn't tell what exactly what it was (for this I blame us because we heated it up ourselves). Covid: Packed place and everyone inside had a mask on. The person taking the order only had it covering their mouth and not their nose which makes the mask useless. Thankfully our interaction was quick. read more

The Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House, or SML C as the locals call it, is a lakeside "hidden gem" Coffee House, Bakery and artisan sandwich shop all in one. There is an outdoor covered deck overlooking the lake and marina for outside dining with your doggie. Try the West Lake Roast Beef Sandwich on artisan ciabatta bread; simply delicious! Come by boat and pick up some sandwiches for a picnic on the lake. (Grab some awesome cookies or cakes for an afternoon snack) read more

Pretty view of the lake to go with your coffee. If you're looking to catch up on a few work emails while vacationing in the area, be aware that early morning starts quiet and builds to a dull roar. It's understandably a popular stop for families and larger groups. Breakfast offering were mediocre; honestly about what I expected for a lakeside coffee shop, so I wasn't disappointed. Otherwise a fine stop for a vacation coffee house. read more

Tasty, wide variety of baked goods. A more corporate feel to the place, with the screen menus, and the decor. Right on the lakeside though, very picturesque, plenty of seating. Fair price. Chai latte, unsweetened was hard to swallow. The chocolate cheesecake we had was pretty tasty though. Mediocre breakfast sandwich. All in all, the warmth and coziness factor could be upped.

This breaks my current…read morealphabet series of places gone to with my girlfriend from the beginning of our relationship up to Easter 2025, but I had just reviewed Smith Mountain Lake Coffee recently from last 4th of July week visit in 2024 and wanted to compare the two from visiting on the 4th of July itself in 2025 here. Westlake Coffee & Cafe was a bit of a mixed bag for me and perhaps more of a 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up in this case as I'm giving some benefit of the doubt and some things exceeded expectations. Also, a prior Yelp reviewer essentially said great sandwiches, nice staff, etc., what more could you ask for, and only gave 3-stars; never stated any reason why it was a mediocre 3-stars, so another reason I'm rounding to 4-stars. Also, I gave SML Coffee 3-stars, and I wanted to distinguish that Westlake Coffee & Cafe was superior to me. My girlfriend & I were staying at her parents' home around 4th of July 2025 and wanted to eat out for lunch. Lunch options are a bit limited, but we saw this online, menu, reviews, & seemed like a decent choice. My g/f's mom warned us that they are very slow, so have your patience. I said I know I read that online could take 30 minutes. Also, the portions are big and might consider splitting sandwich. When we arrived, I ordered a chicken salad sandwich & g/f got a turkey caprese both on sourdough bread. We figured we'd eat half of ours & switch to try each others. Also, I said we could split a large Caramel Latte, but it seems like I was charged 70 cents more than the posted price. My g/f believes that it was a 4th tier not on the menu. $5.25 small, $5.75 medium, $6.45 large, & not printed on the menu was a 4th tier Extra Large as it does say Extra Large on the receipt. This extra 70 cent discrepancy bugged me, but I'm going to give them the benefit of doubt per what my g/f thinks. The woman cashier was cordial, but wasn't quite as nice as Smith Mountain Coffee. I asked for water while we were waiting to another person, which I interacted with 2 staff members, the one I asked & one who handed me the water, who were friendlier. As for the wait time, this exceeded our expectations of the long 20-30 minute wait, it was more like 10-15 minutes, and while that's not great, I was pleasantly surprised when the food & drink was ready. The quality of the iced latte was far superior to the drink I got at SML Coffee. Huge win to Westlake on that! The sandwiches were better than the wrap I got at SML too. The sandwiches use Boar's Head Meats & cheeses. The chicken salad sandwich was great, and my g/f Turkey Caprese was solid too. As it turns out, we both liked what our original choice better than the other, but both of us like both. This is a small place with very limited seating, so better to take to go if it makes sense, but it's nicely decorated with comfortable seating. Also, the original cashier was friendlier at the end. She might've been slightly stressed with orders & our couple of questions. Overall, in spite of a couple of negatives, we'd return when down here.

Old Oak Cafe is situated in a strip shopping center, but is designed to make you feel like you've stepped into someone's home. The back room houses a faux (I assume) fireplace and round oak dining tables. The southern hospitality we received from the staff is as inviting as the space. They also have a large bookshelf of children's picture books and activities. So thoughtful and a wonderful option for tablet-free families. Our first visit was around 11:30 am on a Sunday and there was about a 20-min wait with the post-church crowd. The interior waiting space was full so we opted to wait outside. They offer a buffet breakfast on the weekends for $14.99. It looked to have biscuits and gravy, eggs, a variety of meats and fruit. We opted for menu options. I noticed they offered foam plates for buffet-goers, which made me cringe. I hope they will consider changing to something more environmentally-friendly. We were greeted as soon as we sat and offered coffee. Our server on both visits were incredibly kind! On Sunday, our server was a bit slower with coffee refills, but it was incredibly busy so I understood why. On our first visit, hubs had the cinnamon sweet potato pancakes while I chose multigrain. Both were so fluffy and delicious! The sweet potato pancakes drew us back the next day. They were topped with a cinnamon sugar butter and fresh pecans. The flavor was out of this world! Even the multigrain pancakes were light, fluffy and so yummy. I got blueberry pancakes on my 2nd trip and wish I had ordered these. The blueberry, while tasty, were more dense and not quite as flavorful. The Sweet Potato and Multigrain pancakes are worth 5 stars alone, but the service and value set Old Oak Cafe over the top. I'm ready to plan another trip to SML solely for this breakfast!

Hubby enjoyed a full breakfast with tasty fried potatoes. The bacon was a bit disappointing but could be because we are used to thick cut. The staff was super friendly and it was a comfortable place.

Some of the vitamins are cheaper on Amazon but I like being able to pick up an item when I need it. There are all sorts of nice body lotions, jewelry and body products. They have pet products too. The staff members are helpful. If they don't have an item, they will order it for you. The store is very close to Kroger.

Had a horrible experience with this store and/or Kroger corporate. I'm not sure who is at fault…read morebut, ultimately, it should be resolved by this Kroger. I drove 30+ minutes late at night to pick up things for a special breakfast. Website said store was open till midnight each day. Arrived 11:02pm. Store was closed. Sign on door says store is open 7-11 each day, different from website. Called store (confirmed it was right one) to find out what was going on and which was right, or if store was open but I just failed to get in for some reason. Asked automated system for hours. It said 7-10 each day. So now we have three different sets of hours. While doing this, two other cars, unrelated to each other, pulled up and people tried and failed to enter the store. You web site and phone system both have different store hours listed than the ones listed on the door. So three sets of hours and no idea what's right. You are doing a disservice to your customers. I wasted more than an hour of my time and, more importantly, don't have what I need for a special breakfast. How many people show up each night thinking you are open? How long has this been incorrect? When will it be fixed. We do like the store, but in this day and age of technology, there is no excuse for publishing three sets of hours, two of which are incorrect and leave people sitting in your parking lot late at night after having driven far from home.

Balloons for a birthday party. I went last thing late afternoon for the balloons to last until…read moreearly morning the next day. Took my own metallic XL ballons just to be sure of the perfect colors. Kroger charged me $22 to blow up 15 balloons, very small, I asked him to please blow it bigger and he replied he's scared it popps. 1 balloon was on the floor when I arrived home! Do Not do your balloons here, terrible service. Very dissapointed
