This place has such an amazing vibe. Everyone is friendly and the food and coffee are always delicious.

Seating area

Delicious smash burger and BLT and avocado Panini. They do offer gluten-free bread and mention it is served in a kitchen that has wheat. Homemade kombucha was very good.

Egg & Cheese Bagel Sandwich

When you walk in it actually a surprisingly big building. And there's a taco shop connected incase tacos are more your thing with coffee haha Their coffee is good and their breakfast burritos are delicious... so I've been told haha I actually just got an egg and cheese bagel sandwich. Their "bagels" are actually made with croissant bread and it's super crunchy so nice. They could actually do better by cleaning off their tables though. That's the only thing I saw wrong. Otherwise all good OH and I totes wanted one of their baked goods 'cause YUM

The Wild Bean, Lewisburg

Coffee and four hours of work this morning, successfully completed at this coffee shop in Lewisburg. Friendly service, tasty rich coffee, comfortable spot to pound away at the keyboard for the morning. I opted not to have any breakfast items, just the coffee. And it was great coffee. [Round number review 19600 overall - 74 in West Virginia - 571 of 2023.]

We bumped into this place looking for a salad but instead found a vegan and vegetarian menu at a cute coffee shop next to a taco place. The vegan sandwich had to be one of the best things I have tasted - not sure what I was eating but it was good. All sandwiches come with a pesto vegan pasta salad that was delicious- again have no idea what was in it but it was good. Place is cute and has 3 different bathroom - M W A - a is for Alien. Totally quirky and fun place to stop - reminded me of our yuppie days in Connecticut. In a cute town in WV.

Iced Matcha Latte (with blackberry syrup added! ) Bacon Egg & Cheese on a poppyseed bagel!

Stopped in from out of town - I'm so glad I chose to come here! Such a cute and cozy ambiance, and the staff were so nice and friendly!!! I ordered an iced matcha latte with added blackberry syrup, and a bacon egg & cheese bagel! Both delicious. Restroom & wifi were an added bonus! Thank you to those who took my order, made my order, and brought the order to my table 6/23/23

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

My husband and I come to this every so often, so far it's been our top choice for coffee. Their…read moremenu is large, you can get anything from teas, coffees, lattes, and refreshments. The treats tend to be a bit pricey, but the few we've gotten have been very delicious! I will say recently though I ordered an Horchata (cinnamon) Latte. The barista at the register informed me it didn't have espresso. I thought it was silly mostly because horchata doesn't come with coffee so I told her it was fine. But the name is misleading, it's literally just milk with cinnamon. For $5 I got milk and cinnamon. I will say I was pretty disappointed. BUT other than that everyone is always lovely, the place is pretty clean, even the bathrooms, so I will still rate this place 5/5 because other than this we really haven't had a problem that couldn't be solved, and most of the drinks are tasty.

This was a disappointment and given the almost universally positive reviews, I'm not sure if my…read moreexperience was an anomaly or if Halwa is benefitting from a college town, grading on a curve situation. I came by last Wednesday morning for a bit of caffeine and a bite to eat before my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality (down the street at VA Tech) and I embarked on our road trip into Kentucky. I'm a hardcore morning person and it's often difficult to find coffee places that are open before 8am. The primary reason I came here was because they opened at 7am, well before most of the businesses in the area did. That's a point in their favor at least. And it's cute in there. Per my accompanying picture, there's a lot to take in, with tons of items on the walls and on display, and I needed a solid minute or two just to look over the large menu, which featured a lot of different types of coffees/lattes, as well as a significant number of Middle Eastern influenced snacks and pastries. I literally got over there just as the doors opened (promptly right before 7), so I had the run of the place for my short time in there; I have no doubt this place is hopping when students are actually on campus and don't feel like frequenting the obligatory Starbucks for whatever reason. Maybe it's just a personal palate issue but I didn't like anything I had. Since this was a very specific type of coffee establishment, I tried the Turkish Coffee. That one for sure just wasn't my speed - it's a super tiny portion, pretty much akin to a shot or two of espresso, and aside from the first two or three sips, was literally just grounds. My gut says that's just how Turkish Coffee is, and I won't be sampling that again anywhere. I did see some intriguing lattes including one of my all-time chums Rose, so that was probably the call in hindsight. I also selected two food items, both of which were also unfortunately misses for me. One was the baklava, a pastry I'm very familiar with and tend to really like. This was, I'm sad to say, the worst I've had. The biggest issue is that you can barely taste the main ingredients, namely the pistachio and honey. You know what you can taste, see and feel on your tongue though? Sugar. Lots of sugar. For some bizarre reason, they make their baklava here with a layer of this crystallized sugar. I don't know why, but it honestly ruins the item and drowns out the actual flavors you should be tasting. Arguably an easy fix, but I only took a few bites of it. I also got a Lebanese puff pastry, which looked intriguing but just didn't have much of a flavor. This was my first time trying it, so maybe it's supposed to be on the blander side for whatever reason, but it mostly just tasted like dough to me, especially the areas closer to the edge (not all that dissimilar in my experience from a croissant). The service was fine; there was just the one young woman behind the counter opening up for the day, and everything I ordered was provided within a few minutes. I got two coffees (a "normal" one for my chum as well), and the two pastries, which came to close to $30. I think that's a little pricy, especially for a place right off of a college campus, but your mileage may vary. Normally I'd recommend avoiding an establishment where I literally didn't like anything, but my gut says it's still worth stopping by. Just don't get what I got.

A business that sells food in a structure that used to be something completely different is right…read moreup and into our alley so it was literally the first thing we did upon stepping foot within the town boundary. We were seated immediately on a Friday at around 1pm. I love their vegetarian options but this is a place that assumes if you are a vegetarian, that you like and must have onions and mushrooms in every meal. I couldn't find much other than pancakes/pastries/sweet shit that didn't have onions and mushrooms but fortunately, they were able to accommodate my request for the tofu scramble without onions or mushrooms. GF ordered the vegetarian quesadilla with, you guessed it, onions and mushrooms (among other things). My tofu scramble was good but calling it a scramble is slightly misleading as it is actually tofu cubes albeit very crispy and tasty tofu cubes. This dish was probably potatoes. A few spinach leaves and maybe 1/100th of a pepper. I will concede to the fact that some of that volume might have been taken up by mushrooms and onions. The dish was very good regardless and the accompanying salsa added a really nice extra je ne sais quoi. I also really like the pay first and then leave whenever you want model to avoid being held hostage to bad service not to say that they would've provided bad service but it is a risk anywhere. Regarding GF's quesadilla which I did not have the pleasure of sampling bc of onions of mushrooms "I thought it was decent". When I asked if she had any details or specifics to add, she replied, "no".

Nice big parking lot , clean and organized store and the juice / coffee bar is wonderful…read more Everyone is so nice , I should not be surprised anymore but everytime I need help they go over and above but mostly they are ahead of my question and take the time to deliver great service before I even ask. Marsha made me a latte that was perfect , she made it with a big smile and asked if I wanted cinnamon and nutmeg before I even thought of it. The broccoli cheddar soup is my favorite from the hot bar - the broccoli is not pieces but whole stalk and floret , great texture not mushy that taste very fresh and the soup base is nice and thick. It's always a joy to shop at Earth Fare and they always have what I need.

My first impression was that this store must be new, particularly given the empty retail space…read morenearby. However, there are google reviews that predate this one by a year. This makes it less excusable that the store just didn't seem to be fully stocked. The produce section was a small corner of the store. Prepared foods was a much bigger entrant, as was the freezer section. The lack of fresh items seems contrary to the health food vibe. On the upside, you'll struggle to find a place that has more niche brands with vegan, gluten-free, and other specialty items. The local focus is also appreciated. On the downside, I was surprised how expensive it was, and that's with shopping the sale items and the $1 credit I apparently picked up by shopping at the Roanoke Earth Fare. Frankly, that one is better.
