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

Terrible service. Took over 30 minutes for coffee. If you anticipate a busy weekend then you should plan to staff enough people to fill it.

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

This place is just horrible!! That's actually an understatement!! A " CHRISTIAN" coffee house which proudly displays they are open 7 days a week! Makes you wonder how they justify this in their Christian minds! The coffee is mediocre at best and the sandwich's were just palatable. ( to keep from starving ) the poor little girls working seemed over stressed. I will skip this place next trip to SML no matter if I need to starve! or do without coffee!! read more

This place did not live up to its reviews. I had the berry salad yesterday. After paying for the salad they came out to say they didn't have the spring mix greens would romaine be ok. I did say yes . When they brought it out, it was missing the strawberries and the lettuce was partially frozen. Dressing in a packet and the turkey was processed . Yuck! read more

I've stopped here to get coffee a total of three times in probably the past couple years. Every time, it's left much to be desired. The first time I ordered a decaf iced coffee, no one knew how to make that. The second time, I ordered an iced coffee (not decaf) it was so bitter. Today, I decided to try again, iced vanilla latte. There is zero coffee, at least that's what it tastes like. It's vanilla flavored milk and I had to wait 10 minutes for it. Their food is always spot on, but their coffee, I'm afraid, is not. read more

The coffee was good. But if you want to grab a quick meal, this is not the place for you. 40 minute wait for bagel sandwiches at 10:40 AM.

Stopped by for a lunch on our way home from Roanoke to West Virginia. Great pretzel sandwiches and sat on deck overlooking the lake. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. I also got a huge cinnamon roll to take home. Great little cafe and the coffee selection looked great. read more

The service was quick, the food so so. The ladies serving us were very nice and very efficient. We will try them again, just in case it was an off day read more

Everything was great the food, and service. Atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly. I go at least once a week.

We've been coming for breakfast and the wonderful cinnamon rolls and baked goodies- this morning we ordered and finished our breakfast before we received our coffees. Nothing complex but we waited 40 minutes for coffee. Very disappointed. Please do better. read more

Normally such a fun and unique place, unfortunately half our meals were forgotten when we got to go this weekend :( the shaken espresso was phenomenal and we opted for the turkey clubs which were also pretty tasty. Huge bakery selection and some gluten free options as well! Hopefully better experience next time. 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

I have a mixed review for this place: Pros: - friendly staff - only coffee shop in the area - decent coffee - cool ambiance Cons: - unreliable Wi-Fi. When I got there, the Wi-Fi was working and fast. However within an hour it went down and I had to run my hotspot. - breakfast bagel was so-so, nothing to write home about. 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

While staying at the lake we took the boat over and found this gem. Wow is all I can say! The coffee was amazing along with the spinach and feta quiche. The owner (or manager not sure) was super friendly checking in on guests making sure they are enjoying their selections, we will definitely be back! read more

Good variety, great service, cute little shop. Would definitely return. The kids loved the pastries and the bagels were local and fresh.

Great coffee drinks and pastries! Try the filled croissants. It was nice being able to drink my coffee while looking out over the water.

Excellent stop for really good pastries and drinks- the vanilla lavender latte was amazing!! We tried the peach hand pies, turkey sandwich on a bagel.. all very good . Super clean and efficient- staff was very friendly. read more

Excellent place to take a remote meeting! I had a "Chick-Fil-A level" customer service experience. Staff was polite, cheerful, and expeditious! read more

Such a sweet place! Very cozy inside and plenty of space with one room with tables and another whole space with couches and more seating. So many pastries to choose from that all looked amazing! We got blueberry muffins, raspberry croissants, the breakfast wrap and breakfast bagel, as well as a regular drip coffee and salted caramel latte. Everything was really good, especially the latte. Wish we could have gone more on our trip! 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

Great coffee and super excited to see some GF pastries here! We ordered the cappuccino and gf coffee cake

Great place. Good food and friendly people. We enjoyed coffee and nice sandwiches on the deck overlooking the marina.

Checked this place out this weekend with some friends and we will definitely be back! We were able to get work done/read in the cozy cafe and then enjoy a nice lunch by the lake outside on the porch. The service was great and the food was delicious! I got the sandwich of the month: kickin grilled cheese and it was so good! I also got the espresso chip scone which was a delightful treat after lunch. I cant wait to go back and try other things on their menu! 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

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

I really enjoyed the Dudley wrap. Made fresh and the nitro cold brew one of best I ever had

Good food. Awful service. I called and placed an order and told them I was outside and couldn't come in because of my dog. She said no problem, took my order and My credit card info and said she would bring it out. 30 minutes go by and I am still waiting so I crack the door open and say something and the girl tells me "oh yeah its been ready its right here". Again I tell her I have a dog I cant come in. A customer ends up bringing my drink. There was other workers in there just cleaning but none of them brought my order out or even told me it was ready. 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

Visited on a Saturday morning over the 4th weekend. Coffee was excellent and because there was a line, coffee took a little longer than usual, as is to be expected. Otherwise the service was great! Cheerful and helpful read more

Both coffee shop locations serve a menu of drinks, food and treats that are hard to choose from! You will not be disappointed in whatever you decide! Special thanks to our barrista, Maddie, at the Eastlake location on Timberwood Lane Road in Moneta! read more

Very good coffee and breakfast pastries, not a place for a large sit down breakfast. We've been there 3 days in a row so far!

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

This place was packed to brim when I went. But thankfully the staff is very efficient and produced some great bagels. 10/10 would recommend Scale: 0-Radical Rating: Pretty sick read more

Smith Mountain Lake Coffee House - Hazelnut Latte & snickerdoodles are amazing!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Moneta, Virginia

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. The staff was friendly. Got very crowded, very fast. One of the few coffeeshops in the area. Would come back. read more
