New River Coffee Co — Restaurant in Christiansburg

My friend went here for a coffee on March 26th 2024. It's important to note that he has a milk allergy and requested to have almond milk in his coffee. Regular milk was put in instead and I watched him steadily have a luckily mild allergic reaction but he had to go home from class none the less. This is one of reasons I won't be coming here again because it's just a good example how inaccessible restaurants or food places have become for people with allergies. It was an easy mistake but it was an important one that I believe could happen again at this place. As an add on, I personally have come here before and enjoyed the food and beverages just fine but it's nothing special. The prices are also a little out there for food that isn't made fresh basing on the fact the food comes in plastic packaging similar to that of Walmart's bakery. If you can go to some other small business like Space...

Cute little coffee stand in the NRV mall. Baked goods are quite good, perfectly moist, not too dry or too sweet, my favorite is their chocolate muffin. Caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks available, including hot teas and various bottled drinks such as juices. I've enjoyed their iced chai, marbled mocha, Azteca mocha (really good and not too spicy or sweet), and hot chocolates so far and they've all been quite good, not too sweet like Starbucks tends to be, and they have nice sugar free varieties too. Plenty of seating because it's the mall, they've got couches and rocking...

You get about what you expect of a mall coffee shop. If you like Starbucks or other big brand coffee, you will enjoy their drinks. You get the mall atrium atmosphere but they do make it comfortable with plenty of good tables.

The service is friendly and quick but if you're looking for fine coffee or interesting treats, you will not find it. (Thus the 3 stars.) They do have an extensive tea selection, sodas, the usual big coffee drink menu, and a selection of baked goods...
