Best Coffee Shops In Roanoke Va (2025)


The 6 Hottest Coffee Shops in Roanoke Va will all have a couple things in common, mainly friendly service, a place to enjoy a hot beverage and lots of caffeine.

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, right after water, and it’s also one of the most complex drinks. There are more than 100 different species of coffee plants, but only two are used for commercial production. Each type has its own flavor profile, which makes it a very interesting beverage to enjoy on an early morning.

The two main types of coffee beans you'll encounter at your local shop will either be Arabica beans or Robusta beans.

Arabica is the world’s most popular variety. It has a mild flavor, but it’s still very aromatic and can be used as a base for other flavors. Arabica coffee is grown in Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica. 

Robusta is the second most widespread coffee species in the world. Robusta beans can be used to make espresso, so they are often selected for that purpose.

Whether you're looking for coffee, espresso or even a finely steeped tea in Roanoke, below are the top 6 coffee shops in Roanoke Va.
