Incredibly pleased with this place! Ordered an avocado toast w/ Turkey and was pleasantly surprised that they added pickled onions (yum!), basalmic, paprika and shaved egg yolk. I also got their cold brew in my to go tumbler, added oat milk that they have in their self-serve fridge. Great experience!

Great spot! Great staff. Had a delicious single origin pour over. Next visit had a superbly pulled cortado. Best coffee in Roanoke.

While certainly a bit zesty, I cranked out a 14 page paper at this location in one sitting in 2023. Great time. Great coffee. Homemade syrups!

I have my moments where I long for the days in college when I studied for hours in a coffee shop... a long time ago. Then I quickly snap out of it as alerts and notifications come through my phone and the moment is gone. RND is one of those Coffee shops that is tucked away but worth the stop. Now I know RND is here so when I am on a bike ride or run on the 30 mile trail following the river, I can stop by and get a macchiatto. Definitely recommend and will be back.

My husband and I have been coming here for a few years, we've both worked in coffee so we're both fairly picky, and y'all - they're so good. The baristas are so sweet and personable and complimentary, and the space is smaller but cozy and welcoming. The espresso is well rounded and not burnt, milk is always steamed to perfection & never scalding hot, syrups are tasty and made in house. This is always my top recommendation to folks for Roanoke coffee.

Great coffee and immaculate vibe for a neighborhood coffee shop. Not just the roasting but the syrups are made in house too, with flavors like lavender & thyme. The espresso is not dark but also not acidic like some lighter espressos. My cappuccino was balanced, with a nice dense foam and beautiful latte art. Get your drink for here to save a cup or take it to go and walk on the greenway around the corner.

Great coffee, nice decor, and comfy seating. If I were to be super picky, the milk steaming/latte art could be improved. But overall great local coffee shop with solid drinks. They were out of nitro today, so we'll have to come back and try that next time!

Just came in for a bag of coffee for a gift and got a cup and bagel to go. Staff were very friendly, coffee was outstanding, bagel was great too. Very nice and relaxing atmosphere where the customers seemed to be really enjoying themselves. I will be back.
