The viiiiibbbeee is so good here. It?s like a Danish coffee shop and a Santa Fe boutique hotel had a baby. This place features... an instagram-worthy entrance with a patio and a large indoor space with plenty of natural light and hung amber light bulbs forthat ?hygge? feel. The tables are large enough to host a wide range of activities with outer ones having the most electricaloutlets and the furniture is modern but comfortable.\n\nCoffee is some of the best in Lynchburg, if not the surrounding area.They use what seems like a medium/light roast espresso blend resulting in fruity floral notes instead of the dark chocolatyflavor used by most coffee shops, including Starbucks. And they actually have good oat milk (Oatly, though I do prefer CalifiaFarms Barista).\n\nLastly, the one thing I think could be improved is the range and quality of baked goods. The double chocolatescone I had was packaged by Purple Door Gourmet Kitchen & Catering and was quite dry and kinda squishy, similar to something youmight find in the pastry aisle of a grocery store.\n\nBut overall, as someone who lives on the west coast, this is one of thebest coffee shops I?ve been to in a while and one I?d be at daily if I lived in Lynchburg.

Really nice employees, though there are some cons about this place. You need to make sure your things are charged because the... likeliness of you sitting near a plug are low. Some of the regulars are nice while some of the others aren?t. Just be wary! Niceatmosphere though Read more

There is a lot of seating and off street parking. The coffee is made well and the prices are reasonable.\nI returned in mid... December and if you are looking for a place to get a latte in under 20 minutes. This is not the place for you. Ordered at 10:38received drink at 10:58. Not that busy. But atmosphere is good if you want to chill and do work. Read more

The very first thing you\'ll notice about this coffee shop is the aesthetic. The vibe is western-chic with some Mexican... inspiration. The coffee is intense and worth the price. I bought a caramel latte and the espresso did overpower the flavor ofthe latte a bit, but I prefer that personally. I think from this latte alone this is easily one of the best coffee shops inLynchburg. Read more

My favorite coffee shop in Lynchburg! Absolutely love the place. It?s large, has plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor), and the... baristas are incredibly friendly and helpful. Even though they have a small drinks menu and very little food; what they do haveis well prepared. The pour over coffee does have a bit more of an acidic flavor then I normally like, but the ice coffee isbeautiful!\n\nThe atmosphere is beautiful. It?s been pretty full whenever I have been there, but the noise levels have been veryquiet. An amazing place to work or study. Read more

La Vida has a fun, open aesthetic with tons of seating and table space, adequate outlets for charging laptops and other devises,... and a minimalist, southwestern vibe that is unique to the Lynchburg area.\nI had a honey cinnamon latte, and it was delicious.The syrup was their own, and it was very flavorful, but not too sweet. The outdoor seating area was beautiful, and very quietconsidering how close to the road it is. The corn hole boards are a fun touch!\n\nHighly recommend stopping by and trying out LaVida. It?s not like any other Lynchburg coffee shop, and definitely worth a try. Read more

Beautiful coffee shop with lots of seating in a comfortable atmosphere! The space is really well designed, optimizing space for... people to be comfortable and productive. The coffee was delicious, especially the miele latte since it wasn?t too sweet. Thethematic design is beautiful and combines natural earth tones with minimalist design to make guests feel comfortable andwelcomed. I imagine this will be a hit for college students in the area with all the seating and great coffee. It?s an awesomespot in a convenient location and I will be back for sure! Read more
