If I could give a million stars I would!! This little cafe is SO CUTE! We were visiting VT from Florida and wanted some coffee and breakfast and found Next Door Bake Shop and we were so blown away by the service and food!! I loved their breakfast sandwich options, and the stuffed bagel was so yummy! The smores latte was so delicious too! 100% recommended to anyone on campus or visiting the area!!

Look...i absolutely love this place!! However i havent been here for around 6 years. So when i came in here to get their world famous bubble tea, lavender for me, i was hopeful for what i used to know it as. Blended milk tea over ice right, as it says on the chalkboard right next to the cash register. What i got was frappe bubble tea. Not what i ordered, so i mention it to the employees, and one says i dont know and the other argues with me saying that is how it comes. I came on 5/27/21 @ 1220pm. The owner was this awesome lady who was in all the time back when i came here often. I wish that she had been there today. Even though my stars are low....my heart still loves the memories made here.

I like to patronize independent businesses when I can, especially coffee shops. Theres a lot to like about this place but a few things really turned me off. The atmosphere, hot drinks, and goodies were great. But as I found a seat on a nasty looking chair in a corner alcove I started to notice how dirty other things in the place were. The pendant lights near the storefront were covered in a thick layer of dust and many ceiling tiles were stained and dirty. Im unlikely to return unless things are cleaned up a bit. Im not a neat freak but expect more of a place serving food.

Had a very poor experience. Placed a breakfast bagel online order, notified staff when I arrived and told it would be “a minute.” Understanding there’s a labor shortage, I waited… and waited… and waited… and when guests that came in after me got their food I asked again. The staff member proceeds to get my food off a shelf and tells me next time to “let them know when I’m here.” This was 50 minutes after I already TOLD them I was here. The folks working the counter did not seem to care about my poor experience, or my experience at all for that matter. My food was cold, missing an egg, and there was a stray hair on my bagel. Extremely upset and I won’t be coming back.

Love this place. Sometimes line was long but it was fast considering. The food is creative and always delicious. The staff, and especially the owner, are wonderful. Cant get any better than that

The boba tea is really good, the coffee is some of the best Ive had, and the food is delicious. And to top all of that off Ive always had really friendly staff help me!

Cannot say enough great things about Next Door Bake Shop! We use them regularly for catering our events and the food is always fantastic (if you haven’t had their blueberry muffins you’re missing out) and never tastes like it’s been produced en masse. The staff is super friendly, on time, and always willing to be flexible when we have to make last minute changes. We will continue to go to them for a long time to come!

Picture this: I had just trudged through my 8am and 9am classes after a long night out on the town. I still felt dehydrated from the several rails I drank with my friends at TOTS, knowing all too well that I’d regret it in the morning. I finally got out of my last class and the only thing I could think of was putting food in my stomach. I pondered what place in Blacksburg could provide a satisfying breakfast that wouldn’t upset my already sensitive stomach. Then, as if it had fallen into my brain from the sky, it hit me. “Next Door Bake Shop!” I shouted while crossing of the Turner’s Sea of Hungry, Depressed Students. I could not believe I had said that so loud. It felt like the entire building stopped for a full 5 seconds to stare at me. Trying not to draw more attention to myself, I kept my head down and quickly walked out the door. Once outside, I let escape a sigh of relief, shook off the embarrassment of the moment past, and began my journey that would undoubtedly lead to a full stomach and a refreshed mindset. Once I had reached my destination, I admired the sign above the door with a smile on my face and cheerfully entered. I was immediately greeted by a bright smiling employee that said “hi welcome to next door bake shop!” I knew right then and there that I was in the right place. I looked around and was awed by the vibrant colors all over the walls and the delicious smells of freshly brewed coffee and toasted bread that inundated my nose. The sounds of laughter and happy students holding meaningful conversations completely erased the memory of the grim atmosphere of Turner’s Place from earlier. I could not believe these were some of the same students I had seen blending into the background of Bruegger’s Bagels. I ordered something I thought would be completely ordinary, a bacon, egg and cheese bagel and a caramel latte. Once the cashier had taken my order and payment was made, she smiled back at me and told me “I’ll have that ready for you shortly! I’ll be sure to make it with love 💝” emoji and all. I looked towards the back corner to find that there was an impromptu shop of clothes jewelry and other such trinkets. I could have spent the entire day browsing their small but beautiful array of goods in this cozy little corner of the shop. Before I could find something I wanted but didn’t need, my order was ready and my attention quickly shifted to my food. Once I took possession of the treasures I’d come for, the employee smiled once more and with a soft voice said “I hope you enjoy your food and the rest of your day”. Yes ma’am, I will now, I thought to myself. I sat down at a nearby table and began to unwrap my bagel. It looked exquisite, I could only hope it tasted as good as it looked. As I took my first bite I could taste all of the individual components coming together to create an explosion of delicious flavor in my mouth. Complete euphoria. I tried to enjoy the sandwich the best I could, but it was gone too fast. Even though I was entirely satisfied and my stomach was full, I desired more. It took everything in me not to order another sandwich, but I was able to calm my desire for another with the help of the sweet caramel latte that warmed my hand as I took small sips. Indeed, this small shop had made my day infinitely better with no more than another regular order for them. From that day on, I’ve adored this place that brings joy to my otherwise dull days of classes. Next Door Bake Shop changed me life for the better, and for that, I’m eternally grateful.

The cashier gave me the wrong cookies, and also grabbed the cookies to bag them with bare hands after touching the register. We need cleaner practices in pandemic times.

The construction made this place impossible to get to. Only 15 min parking available. After we drove around for about 10 minutes we had to park in the take out/ delivery only spot. Once we got in, the place was closed with a handwritten sign with summer hours from 8am to 4pm. Super bummed all around. We were looking forward to trying this place for the first time.

Quality, Wait time, Customer service and Location is good. Will be better when construction is completed for parking!!!

My go to Blacksburg study stop. Great coffee and comfy seating.

Variety of delicious sandwiches, bubble teas, pastries ! Very comfortable seating area to work on your computer as well as a play area for the kids and some cross and knot game space. Has a very artistic interior which definitely give the positive vibes!

Estival morningFamished, ate a paniniLeft jovially.

The garden bagel with an egg is SO good! I highly recommend for breakfast. Also I have been fortunate to have the raspberry scones on multiple occasions and it never fails me. Such a nice atmosphere to get work done or to hangout with friends and enjoy some coffee.

I love next door bake for the cute study atmosphere and nice staff! Everything Ive tried off the menu tastes really great but my personal favorites are the coffee cake and pumpkin muffins with the coconut latte. They also have really pretty seasonal items like hot chocolate bombs that would made great gifts.

I love Next Door Bake Shop! The employees are friendly and they have amazing vegetarian options. Their muffins are also delicious. Its really a great place to hang out, highly recommend.

As an international freshman, when I had that first sip of their absolute delicacy, Chai Tea Latte, I was infused with a sudden feeling of actual freshness after a long night of work. The ambience is as peaceful as it can get and is also a good place to have a really good conversation. One word for the bagels here: best. I fell in love with this place this morning.

We were delayed driving in from out of town and one of the staff members returned to the shop after closing just to make sure we could get the cake that night because it was my husbands birthday. Ive never experienced such over the top great customer service! They get 5 stars from me!

I just waited 30 minutes for bad coffee and a cold sandwich. There were 2 employees when we got there, so they were severely understaffed which is awful for them. Clearly the management does not care for their employees enough to properly staff them on a Sunday morning. Even so, people who ordered 10+ minutes after me were given their drinks before me. Not to mention, I watched one employee drop a muffin on the floor and pick it up and put it in a bag to be served. Waste of money and time. Would have asked for a refund if I didn’t feel so bad for the employees.

I loved the delicious cake

Love the vibrant atmosphere. The service was excellent and their food & drink options are plentiful. Perfect pesto was really perfect and chocolate muffin is very delicious as well. Very happy with my visit and will definitely visit again soon.

Horrible place to order food from. Every single time we have ordered food at our place of business the order has been incorrect. We ordered today and again, it was incorrect. Called the shop and there was no manager in the store and only 2 employes. The food is never labeled and is less than mediocre. Dont waste your time with this place.

The cupcakes are mediocre. Coffee is good. The pastries didn’t look authentic, so I didn’t give’em a shot.

The food is delicious, the coffee is alright for the price, but the service is cold and dismissive. I felt like a burden coming into the store at lunch time on a weekend.

Great food and atmosphere! I always enjoy my time here .

The food is good but dear god, the wait times. Sometimes theyre fine and other times they are comically understaffed. These poor employees.I came in on a busy morning recently and waited in line reading a menu for awhile before I noticed there was only one employee in the store who had to take orders, make drinks, and food. All by herself. Shed take 3 orders or so and then put the line on pause so she could go prepare stuff for the people that had ordered 15 minutes ago. I walked out.The food is good, the breakfast bagels are a great price. Dont come here in the mornings if youre hoping to grab food to go in 20 minutes because you might get screwed. Come in an afternoon if you have time to kill and want to sit in the cafe.

I used to love this bakery. I would consider myself a regular who went at least once a week. During covid, it is clear to me that the owners havent done enough to protect their employees or customers. Customers line up at the entrance unable to be 6 feet apart, which is against state and local mandates. I feel bad for the employees who look overworked and clearly have not been set up for success in the time of covid. I wont be returning until conditions improve.

Not quite one star review worthy, but barely made two. The employees seemed to be annoyed that we were there, didn’t complete our order before leaving the kitchen, and the quality of the food and especially coffee was below average. Was in town just for the night and wanted something local but ended up stopping by Starbucks on our way out.

Awful. The worker wasnt wearing a mask when we entered- she rolled her eyes at us and put on a mask. The food was painfully bland (the gobbler had no seasoning and no flavor) and my coconut milk latte (ordered hot, served in a hot cup) was literally cold. She didnt even bother to steam the milk long enough to warm it. If it wasnt covid times Id go back and ask for a refund, but I dont want to set foot in there again.

Good food and good service

Took my teenager she enjoys it

Delicious food and drinks with an Asian flair. They have a wonderful selection of espresso drinks, Thai tea, bubble teas, etc.

They have no nondairy creamers for coffee, so it was really disappointing. Otherwise, it looks like it would be a cozy place to hang out.

Staff was friendly and smiling coffee was good as were the pastries Ill be going back

Friendly staff, fun atmosphere and the food was good.

One of the best bagel sandwich Ive ever had. Really cozy and nice place. Overall very tasty food, great drink selections and friendly staff. Totally recommended!

The people who work here are just phenomenal. They are so nice, and the coffee is great! Best place around to hang out over coffee!

What a wonderful place! True coffee shop. Lots of people working, having stimulating conversations, dropping in for breakfast, lunch, a snack or one of the great drink choices. Service can be a little slow sometimes but the staff is great. I took lots of meetings here when I worked at VT because I loved the atmosphere.

It has a very nice environment, and many outlets to charge your technology, but the bubble tea is awful and they don’t have original flavor.The food is pretty mediocre.

The BEST COOKIES ever. Everyone should have one of these cookies at least once in your life! - Seriously - any of the cookies; it doesnt matter what you think you like, all of the cookies are amazing! The sandwiches and drinks are delicious as well, but the cookies will blow your mind.

This is a really cute shop! I had one of the stuffed bagels and it was really tasty. Their menu has a lot of great pairing suggestions for paninis and sandwiches, or you can build your own. Coffee was perfect too.

Ordered cupcakes for a baby shower. The cup cakes looked great. My favorite was the marbled chocolate and vanilla. My daughter loved the oreo cookie cupcakes.I recommend the baked goods. They even had gluten free.

Cozy bake shop with delicious muffins. Also serves coffee, tea, bubble tea, smoothies, light lunch dishes. Not impressed by the brownie. It was more like chocolate cake. Lemon iced muffin was yummy.

My daughters love it here. We make a point to stop every time we are in blacksburg

Awesome atmosphere with comfy chairs /sofas, tables for studying -high tables too, so many different levels of chilling here-, nice open window to see outside, area that opens to the rest of the building too with other places to sit. Really nice staff. Games. Great products. Definitely recommend the pesto veggie bagel. And GET THE TARO MILK TEA LATTE, it is the best drink in the world. If its hot out, get the taro bubble tea instead. You wont be disappointed.

Love the bright set up and fast service. Good quick breakfast or lunch spot. Big menu and everything we had was delicious, especially lavender tea latte and Nutella cookie!

Love their everything bagel sandwiches and coffee. Very chill and relaxing place to do homework or study. Sometimes the food takes a while to come out. Besides that i love this cute shop!

I always take meetings here because its yummy and cute. Great selection and top quality. Good parking and friendly staff.

This morning, me and my friends ordered three different flavored coffees; Caramel flavored latte, Hazelnut Mocha and Ghirardelli hot chocolate. All three coffees are so watery, and less flavor. We had a worst experience today. Literally, coffees tastes like flavored water.Initially I use to suggest this coffee shop to my friends, But today I decided, not to visit again and not to suggest anyone.

Good food and drink. Definently a college student spot. Good wifi and ambience. I have recommended to friends. Dont expect Starbucks this is a local spot.

Welcoming environment with comfy seats and good music. Sometimes they are super busy and will forget about my order, but once I remind them, they happily bring it out. Food can take awhile, but overall it is a good place to meet up with friends and have a bubble tea.

They are really good. Fulfilled my last minute request for a birthday cake delivery on a Sunday when they are really busy. You can rely on them and the cake was awesome. Great service at good price.👍🏻👍🏻

Good coffee. Good food. Great vibe. Comfy seating.

Great food, Im in love their thai iced tea but their coffee is wonderful as well

Lunch food is exceptional, coffee is good, and the staff is very nice...why then do I not think of it when I want to go sip coffee and read a book? In some ways I feel like Im inside a doll house while Im there. My wife and son love it (and I enjoy it with them) but not a place Id end up at by myself.::Edit::This places atmosphere is growing on me...this has become our familys go to place when we are out and about. My son even picked it for his birthday lunch!

Has a nice f.r.i.e.n.d.s. style couch and ambience for large group hangout. Nice place.

Love it here! A little set back from the road but they have great breakfast sandwich options, delicious pastries and a ton of drink options. Nice place to set up and study too!

Tasty food combinations and great to-go service

I went in not expecting much, but the atmosphere and coffee was amazing, event the sent of the bread was great. Great food, decent price.

Awwww I miss this place! It’s on the side and I absolutely love how corky it is! Such a nice place to just get away from all the studies! Wish there was one in NOVA! 😅 Their breakfast bagels are 🙌🏽

This was (was is the key word here) my favorite place to get coffee and work. amazing food excellent atmosphere. However, yesterday I left next door and went to the library to get a book coffee in hand. The parking gurd must have watched me leave and TOWED MY CAR. I called the management office and they said there was nothing they could do because I left the property. The coffee is good but its not worth 160 dollars. I really hope you guys can get new parking management.

Great coffee, great food, great staff! The location is convenient and the environment of the store is great for studying or catching up with friends. Also, parking is usually not an issue. Highly recommended!

This is the first review I have ever done! I ordered a bagel sandwich. It took 32 minutes for them to prepare it. The sandwich was just as good as one from Einstein, Panera, or any other bagel place. Those places usually take 2 minutes to prepare the food. I wont be back at this place. Would love to get that extra half hour of my life back!

Everytime I come here, I get a bad experience. The workers are super slow and are constantly talking instead of working, even bad mouthing whensome customers theyre not even done with their orders. Do not recommend.

Update: Gave it yet another try, and I just stood at the counter for five minutes while the only employee stood there talking to his friend, not doing any work, and completely ignoring me.Original review: Ive been here so many times, and I really want to love it. The food is good, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Unfortunately, the service is consistently terrible. The staff are almost always unfriendly, and seem outright unhappy to be taking your order. Whats more, Id say that at least a third of the time, they get my order wrong (including very basic orders). Ive had them completely forget items in my order multiple times. Ive kept going back over the past year in the hopes that the service will have improved, but Im losing hope.

This is a great little shop! Weve only lived in Blacksburg a few weeks, and weve already been here 5 times. The lunch food is fantastic (particularly the Thai Curry Soup) and the baked goods are phenomenal. The atmosphere of the shop is bright and cheery, but also cozy, and the staff is VERY friendly. Highly recommend!

I live next door to the Next Door Bake Shop and Im a frequent customer on weekday early in the morning when I need some a warm sandwich and occasionally coffee. They have great baked goods and also really interesting coffee flavors. I cant comment on the Asian twist, but the Next Door Bake Shop is awesome. A lot of coffee places have come and go in that location, but they know what theyre doing so I think theyre here to stay.

This shop used to be a go-to because of its location and menu. However, more and more, I noticed how unclean this restaurant is. Sitting down, the tables are sticky, the cups are dirty, and the decorations add to the clutter.Also, there are many times, especially in the morning, there is only one person helping in the restaurant -- not even a manager in sight. Drinks take much longer, and I dont know how people manage to wait for sandwiches.The only reason I gave two stars instead of one is because if made right, the sandwiches and drinks taste pretty good, but does not compensate the service and filth.

This is a perfect spot to meet people, bring the folks, or do lunch. The staff are lovely people who work hard to make sure that you are happy. The environment is bright and lively without feeling clustered, cramped or busy. Their drinks are creative and offer a different twist on the regular coffee shop experience. Their menu is stripped down but still interesting and finding something that looks good is never a challenge. In all fairness, they offer a more sophisticated alternative to the other coffee shops in town both in atmosphere, service, and menu. You must try their brownies. This is my favorite Sunday spot.

Good drinks and good food in a convenient location. If youre looking for a local alternative to the Starbucks around the corner, Next Door is a good bet. I cant say Ive had any drinks or food that were incredible (the white chocolate and raspberry milkshake is close), but I havent had anything that disappointed so far. Atmosphere is relaxed with a mixture of tables and lounging furniture (thats seen better days).

Love the mugs of coffee here. Good bagel sandwiches and baked goods. Reasonable prices. Not my favorite atmosphere in Blacksburg, but still a good option for studying or meeting with friends.

Awesome atmosphere, probably the most chill coffee shop in town! Lots of natural lighting too. Solid selection of teas and drinks. Outlets can be a bit limited though, so try to snag a spot near one if you can

The assistant manager was very rude and condescending. they seemed to have a negative impact on the overall morale and aesthetic of the establishment. also, the scones were dry.

Got a coconut latte, tasted super watered down. Paninis are meh at best, and they take way too long to make below average food. Dont recommend.

Free refills on house coffee and the breakfast sandwiches are delicious and mostly around 5$

Love this place..A go to when we visit.

I loved the interior and the view of Blacksburg downtown road from here. The perfect breakfast I had in a while! Sipping your cup of coffee while enjoying the view of Blacksburg feels really great!

Im insanely addicted to the curry soups they offer here! Sandwiches are always yummy, and the baked goods are perfection. It gets ridiculously busy when school is in session, so I recommend calling in your order if you dont have a lot of time. Other than that, this is one of my go tos for a quick, tasty bite in Blacksburg.

I finally found my Blacksburg bagel fix and had to have a crossant, bubble tea was great as well very good mango one! Looks like a good place to relax and meet friends

My favorite place to run between classes or on the weekends for lunch. Their Death by Cheese is divine ahh how I will miss it once I graduate. Wonderful staff and the atmosphere is so friendly. Highly recommended!

The food is absolutely wonderful. The bagel sandwich combinations are inventive and the bagels themselves are just what I grew up on in New York. Unfortunately, the service is less than subpar. The girl that took our order could not even feign friendly or polite and could not deliver our two bagels correctly nor those of the table next to us. I was half way through my bagel before my husband received his and the same happened to the father and daughter next to us. She did not apologise and could not even respond to the thank you of any customers with Youre welcome. Her lack of service ruined the experience of the food.

Great place to go regularly. Good coffee place. Good food for lunch. Rightly priced. Good staff.

Fun and cute. Good fancy tea and coffee drinks. Good sandwiches. Breakfast sandwiches all day!

Great atmosphere, great food, excellent mochas and baked goods. Can get a bit busy during lunch rush, but has a talented staff. Definitely recommend. Dont miss the Thai curry soups!

This place is great for a cup of coffee and a pastry or a sandwich and a smoothie. The atmosphere is friendly, and they are often pretty busy, but you can order any food to go. A great find in Blacksburg!

Love this atmosphere!! So comfortable with a nice range of seating options. Plus the coffee and food are wonderful!

This place is excellent. For a couple of semesters I was going to another coffee shop near VT, and the people there werent always friendly. After two visits to Next Door, the people called me by name and remembered my drink order. Ill never stop going!

Great service. Good for work, rest, or just hanging out

Good place for meeting off campus. Always enjoy my espresso there.

The place is a little small, but the staff and the muffin i bought was awesome! Its a very cozy place

I go here all the time. Delicious sandwiches and pastries, and good drinks. The staff are incredibly nice and quick with orders even when its busy.

Nice little café. We stopped in for a quick look and ended up getting the Thai iced tea. Not quite as good as a Thai restaurant, but pretty close!

They have worst workers ever!!!!!

There was a pretty long wait but it was so very worth it. Our food and drinks were delicious.

Excellent teas/cappucinos, bagels, muffins, and scones. Hard working, efficient, and pleasant staff and relaxing atmosphere.

Nice little shop with big menu and great service!

Food very good. Excellent selection. Bubble tea fell a little short for my girls vut strawberey lemonade was great. Cozy and comfortable ambience

Amazing bubble tea that was my first time having it and it was absolutely amazing ❤

Meeting colleagues. Excellent curry chicken soup.
