    Amazing service and desserts were out of this world. We got the banana cream pie, deep fried snickers and ice cream funnel cake and it was all fantastic. My kids really enjoyed it. It's a super cute place and there are seating outside. Owner was super nice and we loved everything about it. If we're ever in Blacksburg, we'll definitely be back!

    Chocolate funnel cake with strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce

    This place is going to take over for Blacksburg's most sought after desserts - I am calling it now! They have so many toppings for you to customize your funnel cake: Ice Cream (Chocolate, Vanilla, Cookies and Cream), Fresh Strawberries, Cinnamon Glazed Apples, Homemade Whipped Cream, Drizzle (Chocolate, Caramel, Maple, Strawberry), & Powdered Sugar. They also have non funnel cake options (churros, fried Oreos, corn dogs, & ice cream). They really have something for everyone! We stopped by and ordered the 6 inch chocolate funnel cake with strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. It was absolutely amazing - the perfect mix of fried and fresh - such a great sweet note to end the day on. The inside is a bit cramped but there is seating outside if you want to eat at the restaurant. The staff was kind when taking our order too. There were 3 employees working: one on the register, fryer, and toppings station. They were organized and efficient with making the funnel cakes so the wait was minimal (about 5 minutes). We'll be back to try out more combinations!!

    Halwa Bakery & Cafe - London Fog latte was perfect, but the Lebanese Pastry was not fresh

    This contemporary and relaxing bakery and coffeehouse located in Blacksburg, Virginia, specializes…read morein Egyptian and Lebanese inspired desserts and baked goods. But above and beyond their Middle Eastern pastries and unique drinks like Turkish Coffee and Mango Madness, it is an inviting environment with comfortable tables, chairs, and couches, to spend quality time socializing with good friends or with a laptop connected to the internet with their Wi-Fi, doing research for that special project. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Halwa Bakery & Cafe is the perfect example. After having dinner with a friend at another restaurant, we decided to come here for dessert. When we arrived, it was easy to find a parking space right around the corner of the Cafe. The place had outdoor furniture to be able to enjoy your food and drink outdoors in nice weather. Inside, the beautiful hardwood floors and exposed ceilings, together with the unique lighting treatment, gave special character to the place, and providing an extraordinary environment in which to better enjoy the moment. On the left of the ordering counter there is a couple of large blackboards with the menu written on them in color chalk. On the right, there are several display cases with Sandwiches and Pastries for one to observe and make better choices. My friend ordered a Baklava Cheesecake and I ordered a Peanut Butter Special Cake. As we sat down enjoying our desserts, that were amazingly delicious, the place was full of people. Some working on their laptops, others socializing, and others simply enjoying their food and drinks. As we were leaving, I saw on one of the walls two framed newspaper articles from The Roanoke Times, with color photographs, on this Blacksburg bakery with Mediterranean pastries. I highly recommend this place as a perfect environment to enjoy some cultural food and drinks, either alone, with your laptop, or with good friends.

    Came here twice while visiting VT and it was great - friendly staff and such a staggering selection…read moreof drink, snacks, baked goods, and treats. The dining area was a great place to hang out - warm, cozy, and comfy. This is really nice spot to spend some time.

I have lived in Blacksburg my whole life and ODB has been a go-to bakery for most locals for a while. Serving a variety of pastries, cakes, breads, and offering lunch, brunch, and dinners. They have a lovely variety of options for customers to enjoy. The bakery primarily serves French pastries and caters to French cuisine at their meals. Although they offer more than just French inspired food. In the past, my family and I have enjoyed grabbing their cakes for celebrations and individual pastries from their pastries case. But recently, they have not been up to par and have left us very unsatisfied. The cakes have been dry and do not taste fresh at all. On my latest visit I tried a couple of things, all of which were cold, with dry, crumbly textures. It was evident to me that these pastries were not made day-of and had clearly sat in a fridge for at least one night (if not more). I found this to be extremely disappointing as ODB used to have a reputation of serving FRESH baked goods and pastries. I cannot attest for the hot food they serve during meal times, but the pastries and cakes have gone down hill. Over the winter break, I had their NY cheesecake bar (which I've gotten in the past and it was phenomenal) and it fell so short of what I remembered. It was lacking flavor and the crust at the bottom was dry. This past visit, I tried a Napoleon (also have had this before and really enjoyed it), a specialty cake, a scone, and a couple macarons and macaroons. The Napoleon was so cold and the puff pastry was super stale, it practically fell apart the second I tried to eat it. The specialty individual cake slice was also very cold and the cake wasn't moist at all. Again, indicating it was not fresh or made day-of. The scone was also a disappointment as it was dry and lacked any moisture. I thought the macrons and macaroons were fine though. While most of this was disappointing, the price didn't help either. Nothing was inexpensive and the quality was completely missing. So disappointing to leave this review as I used to enjoy coming here for sweet treats. It's sad to see that ODB is unfortunately not what it used to be. I will note that the service is very friendly and they do their best dealing with customers. Could have been more efficient, but I did go during a busier time. I hope they can turn things around, but until then I do not think I will be retuning soon.
