    The Muse Coffee shop is perfect!!!! I was looking for a properly made cortado and they delivered!!! During my visit , it was very crowded with students.. It was standing room only but there were a few available tables outside. Unfortunately , I ended up getting my hot beverage to go. The vibe here is everything a coffee shop should be!!! It's warm , inviting and relaxing. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Lynchburg!!!!

    The Muse Coffee has an excellent selection of coffee and choices for specialty drinks. I love the lattes they make and all the variety they have. The Muse is not the best place for homework, unless you go at the right time. It gets really crowded and can be loud, but if you go at opening then you can snag a seat anywhere and not see many customers in the store. The employees are generally nice and helpful. There are a few younger girls who have been particularly rude, but the really kind baristas help to make up for it. There was a span of like 4 months where I went here almost every day and only one employee (Mackayla) made an effort to know my name and order. The pastry selection is not the best, unless you're into specific things like carrot cake or frosted cookies. The food they make in the kitchen is usually pretty good, especially for a coffee shop.

    Good coffee and nice ambiance! I like the patio and front tables outside, will definitely be back to try more coffee!

    Avocado Toast, Chicken Salad Sandwich, Cold Brew, iced caramel latte

    This is a great coffee shop and roastery! My husband ordered an iced caramel latte, and I had the "Christmas in a cup" unsweetened cold brew (not the featured latte with the same flavors). I got an avocado toast with no cheese, and he had a chicken salad sandwich. This was one of the best avocado toasts I've ever had!!! I want to come back to get some coffee to take home!

    The staff was easy to talk to, My chai tea latte was just right & I loveeeeed the avocado toast. The spicy jelly is what makes it unique & sooo good! I'm not a huge fan of feta cheese but they don't overload it so it works! Sadly, the place was packed so I decided get it to-go but i'll be back on a quieter day :)

    I'd love to give this place 0 stars to keep people away but I can't. It gets crowded for a reason. Easily one of my favorite coffee shops in LYH. if you can get a spot in the loft area then your set. I wish they would add another loft area for more seating but it's cozy, the drip coffee is exceptional and their double espresso is pretty good too. Their morning glory muffin is indeed glorious.

    Muse coffee. When I entered the place I thought mmmm nice! Great decor, such a cozy cute place! Ordered my food and that's when the fun started. First, no place to sit down. Here I am standing with my avocado toast in one hand and amber coconut latte in another. I look at my "latte" and it doesn't look like one at all. After we finally found a place to land I try my coffee and oh well. I address the issue immediately and ask if they could have (possibly) forgotten to add espresso shot. No foam, no texture, looks like a dripping coffee, except it supposed to be a "latte". They claimed it was made right. Do you want to try it? Poured the whole thing into the trash. I'm glad we saw Starbucks under construction not far. I hate Starbucks but I can assure you it's better than my amber coconut latte. Then I try my avocado toast. Granted it's only $4.25. But please add another $1 and make a nice avocado toast, not avocado spread toast. I don't mind paying $5.25 but for something more sustainable. Besides avocado only costs $1 in any supermarket. Are we coming back? No, thank you. Solution: Think about people not about making a profit. Do everything with excellence. It's missing in everything except the decor. If people complain about food- make it right!

    Great quality coffee with daily roasts and specialty drink rotations. The atmosphere is great for studying. They even have bottomless coffee if you plan on hanging out for a while. I've only eaten here once, but it was fantastic avocado toast!

    Early dinner at Millie's really hit the spot! My buddy had just finished an intense certification…read moreexam and really wanted to recharge and relax. I had a small PB&J smoothie bowl, Golden Butter Curry Bowl, and a Chai Latte; my buddy had a smoothie bowl, Buffalo Tofu Wrap, and a fresh pressed apple juice that was a lovely light chartreuse color. He then topped off with a Blueberry Poptart and a coffee. Yummers! We were going to eat on the nice covered patio but the thunderstorm moved in and the rain was lashing in so we ate inside comfortably situated watching the light show outside. After eating we shopped for supplies in the attached natural grocery then headed home in the sunshine.

    This cafe is attached to a health food store. It is not open too late, but it fit my needs well. I…read moreordered a salad based on classic flavors of sundried tomatoes, pesto, and goat cheese, and boy they sure did not skimp on any of those things. The result was robustly flavored and fit my need for an early meal. The location is part of a mixed residential and retail complex that was a bit odd to navigate. They also had a bunch of smoothies and such, and I noted one customer who actually asked for the non-dairy nut milk to be replaced with dairy milk. I found it amusing that we've gotten to a point where someone ordering food has to explain that they're not a vegan. If you are avoiding dairy, however, there's plenty for you here, and I could not expect a small place in a town like this to fill its niche much better.
