I love Mill Mountain Coffee and Tea! The staff is friendly and willing to tweak the specialty drinks to your liking. The food is also very good and seasoned well. They have a delicious selection of muffins too. I will return to Mill Mountain Salem location again and again!

Excellent vegetable soup today for lunch. I also picked up Hazelnut coffee beans for a Christmas gift. They have ample space to sit for lunch in this quaint coffee/lunch shop in downtown Salem near the Farmers Market.

Locals obviously know that this is a great coffee shop. We were glad to find it just a few minutes from I-81. Excellent coffee (they are happy to do a cortado even though it isn’t on the menu). Excellent sandwiches (try their grilled cheese with twist if you like your guacamole spicy). Excellent service.

Great coffee and a spacious building so you can have a conversation without talking over someone at a nearby table (in fact the tables were more than 6 feet apart for social distancing). Right across from the public library so you can get a book and coffee all together. Breakfast options were limited on the day I visited but they were tasty.

Guy let my Italian soda sit there for 5 minutes while serving the people behind me coffee. Dumped ice in it, it overflowed, and a 5th of the cup ended up empty. Drink was still good. Wont be returning.

Clean, cozy coffee shop with nice amenities and staff, and even some books for rent and sale!

Lucky find on a wrong turn when we were driving though town. Wonderful espresso drinks and super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Ive always loved the caffeine here but today I also got a ham sandwich. Fresh and tasty, couldnt ask for better, and nothing beats the location if you have things to do at Roanoke College.

Coffee can be a lil bitter at times, specifically their iced/ cold brewed coffee. Baristas have said told me they use a medium roast blend for the iced coffee so theres that. Baristas are ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is chill- restrooms are clean.

We made the unfortunate mistake of referencing Google reviews instead of Yelp... This place was nothing short of forgettable (once I get over my initial annoyance at how utterly garbage the service and food were on a slow Sunday morning). We placed our orders for a latte, a cappuccino, 2 breakfast wraps and the order of french toast. The coffee drinks came out within 10 minutes. 40 minutes later, we received the food, after inquiring on the status at the 30 minute mark. Talk about expectation v reality... Lets start with the most egregious... all of the food was COLD. The french toast came with 2 slices, some maple syrup, and a bacon accompaniment which was basically a crisp... that happens when you overcook pre-made/pre-cooked bacon. Gross. The sirloin steak, egg, and provolone wrap was tragic. Uncooked/raw red onion and green pepper wrapped into it, the egg looked browned... the Cowboy wrap was the only one that came out decent. It had black beans, hashbrown, egg, and some type of meat. Verdict on that one - it wasnt bad. My recommendation to Mill Mountain... please stop serving food if you cant deliver on the most basic expectations (timely preparation and execution). Stick to the coffee and pre-sliced baked goods in the display and you should be good. Also, please consider dumping the styrofoam...

Actually suprised by how much I liked the place. It has a certain vibe it, but its nice. I was thinking the menu would be just coffee associated drinks, and little sandwiches, but they had burgers, fries, smoothies, a wide menu range to be honest. And the price is great as well. Only thing I wasnt a fan of, was that dogs were in the restaurant sitting on the floor while their owners ate; I dont like people serving food to me, and at the next table someones pet is scratching away. Other than that, you should give this spot a shot.

Meh. The coffee is pretty good, heres my beef.This coffee shop is STILL using styrofoam, and even if one requests to use a normal mug. This is true even though youre drinking in house. A cappuccino just isnt as good out of a disposable cup. COVID-19 is spread through AEROSOL transmission, not surfaces. The dishwasher you have will kill it no problem. My 2¢.The service was also a bit disinterested. I get it. You make minimum wage on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Consider an edible before work, folks.

Came here for a mocha the other day: in and out two minutes, perfect temperature so its not going to burn your mouth when you drink, and tastes great. Cant ask for much better

Cool atmosphere, good coffee. Very friendly staff right in downtown Salem. Lots of neat artwork on the walls.

Neat place, good coffee for sure. Very friendly staff.

We ordered coffee and tea and went across the street to sit at the tables in front of the library. This location is really one of the best Mill Mountains in the greater Roanoke area.

Deliciousness with shiny happy people! They made me an espresso chocolate mint milkshake thing that was divine. Great service, atmosphere and coffee.

Nice quaint place for a coffee or a meal.

I live near here and have always had a good coffee and breakfast.

Tea was luke warm because it was out of a pre brewed coffee dispenser, and tasted like it, and the pastries are frozen. Theres a microwave to heat the pastries up. The staff is far from upbeat. Nasty and extremely low-end place all round.

Quick, decent prices. Staff is very knowledgeable but not there to be your best friend.

A very spacious but cozy environment. It looks small on the outside but theres a lot of room indoors for small groups. The place features art from a local artist and the decor is very simplistic yet stylish. They also sell mugs, shirts and other items with their logo. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to drop in during the afternoon or lunch break for a great selection of coffee and food.

Counter person was pleasant and helpful. Food took an overly long time and stone cold by the time it arrived. It was almost empty when I arrived and yet the tables were filthy.

Recommend their Jazmine tea, low price.. decent area for study.

I came here around 3:45-4:00 pm on 2/6 and I just want to shout out the two girls who were working. I wish I got their names but they were so helpful towards me after I had hurt myself right before coming in. Amazing service and coffee!!

Not bad, an espresso “shot” I would usually get needs to be a double or extra shot here. Lower prices, not a burnt dark espresso, it was a nice smooth blend. Better for me than Starbucks, and honestly there aren’t many other options if you are driving down I-81

Really enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of coffee with my lovely wife. I had a red-eye and she had the headless horseman cooler (pumpkin-hazelnut) while we both shared a delicious brownie. Wonderful establishment.

The Salem shop has convenient parking. It has a good venue of coffee, tea, and food. The shop requires mask. The wifi is free and works well.

Love their drinks and cherry danishes. Great place to get writing done, friendly staff. Highly recommend!

A great place for coffee, sandwiches and deserts!

Good coffee ☕ a little quiet for my taste.

Great place. Recommend anyone visit.

Great coffee and food selections. The atmosphere is very quaint and comfortable.

Excellent drinks and service!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Food is great. Coffee is the best I have had. I have even taken some to family in PA and they are addicted and ask me to mail them some often. It is close to my work and provides a nice break from the office work space.

The coffee here is freshly ground and has a great flavor to it. The atmosphere is warm and friendly with local art up on their walls. Their lemon bars are delicious 👌. I have not tried their food.

Always amazing food and the coffee is to awaken yourself for even on daylight savings

Amazing place!! Cozy and has so many things delicious!!!

Well, people sitting around with no masks while working in their computer and only cold water from the patron and employee sharedbathroom faucet... That was my experience today.

Generally good if one visits earlier in the day. However, my experience is the coffee and tea can sometimes be Luke warm later in the day due to decreased foot traffic and not brewing as often as the afternoon hours approach. Great desert selection. Great tasting coffee.

Coffee and food is wonderful but the service is terribly slow. You can walk up to the counter without a line and will still wait five minutes or more until youre even acknowledged. They only have one or two people on staff at any given time so I dont blame the workers, but nonetheless the wait time is unreasonable.

Love coming here with guys from church and taking time to connect with each other. Good place for conversationalists. Good, easy food options and better drinks than Starbucks by far!!!

Love their coffee! Great little shop

Very quaint coffee and tea house that truly captures the beauty of downtown Salem. The staff are always extremely kind and they always offer some of the bet service of anywhere in town. Mill Mountain is truly an incredible business

Good food just a few minutes’ walk from campus. Also, I discovered while eating here that Jon can actually hear Garfield in the Garfield comics (picture attached to review). Not a bad restaurant to have a life-changing epiphany in.

Stopped in for coffee and breakfast. Service was good. Coffee was fine. I had the cowboy wrap. Tasty, but a little dry. Could have used something, maybe some Chipotle mayo. Nice atmosphere. Worth stopping.

Coffee shop with a nice, hometown feel. Standard selection of drinks. Bigger menu of eats, which is nice. I like the big, comfortable sitting area, which includes a couch or 2. If you want a place to come work, or relax or visit with a friend, this can be it!

I had coffee and breakfast there this morning. The coffee was the medium Sumatra blend and just right for me (I dont like strong coffee). I was able to share half of my breakfast plate with my sister because there was a LOT of food for the price.

Best coffee for miles and great sandwiches

Nice, local gathering spot near Roanoke College where you can relax, study, meet friends and visit awhile. Lots of coffee and tea flavors, pastries, and a menu of simple dishes.

The restaurant is clean, looks nice, and has a meeting room in the back, apparently with a large flarscreen TV for sharing media. The drinks were wonderful. The food varied widely. One friends hamburger was raw until sent back as it had apparently not been fully thawed before cooking. The rest was very tasty and well cooked. The food was brought to us missing on the side sauces for two and missing any silverware as the person assumed wed gotten our own as we would have if we had been told. My dish was tasty, but I ordered and paid for shrimp only to be served chicken without being consulted first.

Always fresh food! Delicious and healthy. Love the atmosphere and the coffee.

Of the mill mountain coffee locations this is one of the best!

First let me start off with the good! Great coffee and professional staff!!! The bad: Our food took over an hour to come out and my friend received a sandwich instead of the wrap they ordered. However, we didn’t send it back because we were hungry and didn’t want to wait another hour for a simple sandwich to be made! In addition the food was not that great for the price and the portions were small. I will be back for the coffee but not the food.

So we went when Salem after five was going on and because of Salem after five they had to close at seven when they normally close at 10 and they closed the kitchen an hour early. I normally love to go there because they have great burgers and drinks, but today was a bad experience. You just lost six people and 50 plus bucks. Good job!!

They havent really done me wrong ever! Their breakfast is great and their smoothies are great. A great treat especially for the Roanoke College crowd!

We waited till our food was cold to get it. It had no flavor it like bland food nothin special. We used to love going here but this will be our last time.we could’ve gone somewhere else for half the price. We wasted $20 here never again

Coffee was very smooth. They dont allow dogs inside but they do have outdoor seating in the back next door.

I love Mill Mtn Coffee. Its a staple in my life for coffee and the occasional cinnamon bun craving. Great atmosphere and they have a conference that can be booked ahead for meetings.

Would not recommend this place what so ever. Extremely rude workers, my mom went in to get me a smoothie and they filled it up to much and my mom asked if they could dump some out and the rude lady had a big attitude and huffed and puffed. So we will no longer be waisting our money there. 😡

The staff was friendly and the place was clean. Our order was not as expected. I asked for a club salad, which was described as being lettuce, tomato, ham, turkey, 3 cheeses, onion and cucumber. I got lettuce, tomato, bacon, cucumber, 2 cheeses, and 4 slices of unflavored grilled chicken. I am not sure where the screw up occured. I asked for lemonade, which had zero sugar in it, and did have lemon pulp. His requests faired slightly better. He had water to drink, (although he had to go back and ask for it twice before it was brought to him) and a chicken tender sandwich, which perhaps could have been better if the tenders had been butterflied to sit flatter. Pricing was about what we expected, for our meal it was around $25. I wasnt particularly impressed, he liked it.

Really unique drinks and a nice atmosphere. I got a hot drink on a very cold day though and it was about room temperature so that was sad. I definitely recommend it though!

Great place for coffee or breakfast near the college. Ive always had a good experience.

Home for the holidays and happy to stop by one of my all time favorite coffee shops. Drinks were excellent as always and was happyha surprised to see an expanded food menu. Lunch and two drinks was perfect!

Nice, clean, good selection and service. Good sandwiches and salads and drinks, hot and Cold . Reasonably priced, meeting room.

Great place for coffee. Lots of selection of coffee for purchase. Great people

Mill mountain sets the Roanoke/salem standard for coffee shops. This place serves delicious lattes and has a good selection of standard tea and coffee.

Im giving this a one star for the fact that the two girls working the counter at 1:30 on June 6, were absolutely rude, there was no one in line, and I walk up to order and the brown headed girl gives me this look as if Im bothering her by coming in to order, they dont say welcome or anything. This was my first time visiting this place and it will be my last! The espresso was good but the brown and blonde girl were very rude and need to find a different career as oppose to being around people.

One of my favorite coffee shops. They have a couch right up next to a window and the last time I went it was pouring rain; reading a book there while drinking coffee was the perfect afternoon.

As always a great place study and enjoy a cup of coffee. Tip if you get a mug it gets a refill.

Visited this location of Mill Mountain Coffee for the first time in a couple of years. Had about 45 minutes to spare before meeting someone at another location and was going to have a treat and read for a bit . Unfortunately I was disappointed. They have remodeled the location making it feel larger and more spacious inside. However the quality of the refreshments in my case a beverage and pastry were subpar and not equal to the value paid in my opinion. The dessert case was not very appealing in appearance being at least partially half empty. The glass and the empty areas were messy not real clean in appearance and the labels for the products therein not easy to read or follow in connection to the product they represented. The beverage I got was supposed to be a cooler which is expresso half-and-half ice and three flavors to make it taste like a banana pudding. To me it simply tastes like iced coffee and milk, no unique flavor at all. The cake I bought once I went to eat it tasted dry, old & stale. I expressed this to the staff that served me, that I did not care for it and could I exchange for another item of pastry. The server was polite yet seemed befuddled for response asking you mean change for something else to eat?. I responded yes I do seek a sweet item and I figure that is easier than you refunding me. She responded, well yes I can replace but we cannot do any refunding. We do not do that. This kind of surprised me because I surely expect credit if I seek it for a food item that is not of a quality that I would eat it. She was polite making me aware the item I was switching to obtain, a cherry/ cheese danish was not equal to the cost of the cake. When I asked if there were any other items coupled with the danish that did equate in value she suggested a cookie. When I inquired what kind of cookies do we have she responded they are written there (on the case glass is what was meant). There were 6 or 7 cookie names written on the glass, in not real neat and now smudged handwriting but only three rows of flavors available & they were not positioned where they matched the cookies that remained. I did ask specifically a flavor and got one. The staff person thanked me for my understanding about no refunds and being willing to seek replacement. I ate the danish and cookie because there was not anything wrong with them but in my perception they were of cheap variety quality, like anything you could get in a box from a dollar store; certainly not worth the price charged here. I will not likely come back to this location anytime soon.

Not worth the wait. Ordered a scrambled egg with sausage, green peppers, and home fries. It took over 30 mins for my order. Not pleased with the service at all. Have been to several location but Salem on Sunday mornings has gotten slower and slower.

A lovely coffee shop in downtown Salem. They have coffee, lattes, smoothies, teas and food including baked goods and a full lunch/dinner menu.There is plenty of seating in the shop and also a meeting room you can rent out for use.

We really enjoyed our lattes and the provision of a deck of cards so we could play gin rummy!

This is my go to happy place! Much better than Starbucks because everything is roasted in house and they make their own food items which are just as good as the drinks. Perfect place to hang out, study, and have meetings.

Nice place. Very much a spot for the local college crowd. Coffee was pretty good, wished they had simple syrup available and the counters needed some tidying up.

Great coffee and free smells!

Had a veggi wrap (was the best)! so was the Atmosphere! Will be back when traveling through!

I prefer MM coffee over Starbucks because it is roasted in-house, and you cant beat the taste. I usually order a large caramel latte. The t-shirts they sell are soft and luxe and make a great gift.

Incredible tuna salad, great teas, reasonable prices - well worth the driving the extra couple of miles off I-81.

Good coffee and fresh cinimon bun for breakfast. All served by the pleasant staff who are up at 6 AM just for me. Great start to the new week.

Great place to study, have a meeting it catch-up with an old friend! I loved meeting my mom her for lunch! And the food and drinks are excellent!

Great coffee timely served during Salems Christmas parade

Great coffee and yummy sandwiches and breakfast burritos. Plus, the staff are really friendly.

LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE MILL MOUNTAIN! A great place to conduct meetings and get lots of work done. The coffee, smoothies, and food are great. The grilled cheese, chicken tenders, and southern burger are my favorites.

I spent a morning here while my husband was working around the corner.. I found it to be a very comfortable place, very well decorated, and I loved the atmosphere.So I ordered a berry muffin and an iced chai latte.The large iced chai latte made w/ almond milk that I got was an absolute failure! I don’t think I’ve ever had any that tasted worse.. I tried so hard to keep drinking it, just cuz I hated wasting my $5+ dollars.. but I ended up throwing it in the trash canister on the street outside after drinking about half an inch from the top.I give you 3 stars for the nice building & the berry muffin. But for the sake of your usual customers, please step up your game on the specialty drinks.

Great place to get a drink and a snack when they have something new to try, decorating is great and paintings are on sale from local artists add a lot to the atmosphere. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed!

Ice coffee is very good. However hot coffee is never as hot as it should be as they keep it in thermoses.

First time at this location. The house coffee was excellent my English muffin was delicious. The atmosphere is what you expect from Mill Mountain Coffee.

Great variety on coffee and coffee beans. Nice service and offers sandwiches and other easy food to go with your drink

Coffee was very good and there were plenty of options. I also liked the atmosphere. But, I couldnt help but be bothered by the styrofoam and disposable utensils. There were opportunities to improve there.

Great place, very friendly servers. Perfect for studying (they have a separate room with a long table for folks who need silence) or socializing alike. My highest recommendation.

This is a great place to visit. Whether youre meeting friends over coffee or just want to relax by yourself, Mill Mountain has the perfect vibe.

At 5pm on a weekday which I expect should be a peak time, they only had one employee working. Took 10 minutes to get a cup of coffee and there was only one customer other than me at counter. Milk frother had a towel on it that was stuck to the metal. When he pulled it off the frother nozzle was all white and funky. Didnt bother cleaning it before putting it in my cup. Milk he used was sitting out the entire time I waited. No idea how long it had been out. The guy in front of me didnt get anything but several bags of ground coffee so the milk had been out at least the customer before him as well. Not a clean place. I just paid and poured it out when I left. Gross! Health department should pay them a visit.

Always great. Love the coffee, the food, and the atmosphere.

Cute place, good coffee. Great place to relax while stopping in the area.

Coffee was ok but muffin wasnt good

Great service and a lovely location. Lots of big window space up front. Christmas Eve brunch is a must. Always a stop after church on Sunday.

Awful- I had gotten a coffee that didnt taste good and asked if I could get something else. I was basically talked down to by man there who said maam, dont play that game with me. What game?! The this drink isnt what I ordered game?!?! He would have NEVER spoken that way to another male and I will not back there again. No woman deserves to be talked down to and treated like shes stupid- especially over something so trivial as a beverage!

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, its never too busy, plenty of places to sit, what else can I say? This place is awesome and the coffee is amazing!
