Halwa Bakery & Cafe

A great spot for coffee, tee, pastries, etc. They have delicious seasonal options and many alternatives for food allergies. I highly recommend!

I love the food, atmosphere and service at Halawa. By far the best breakfast in town in my opinion, but the espresso drinks ALWAYS come unmixed which is annoying. If I’m grabbing a caramel latte to go I don’t want to have to scrape all the caramel off the side of the cup and mix it myself :/

Literally THE BEST cofffee shop in the blacksburg, christianburg, Roanoke area. Heck it's the best I've ever had! A must go spot for students, residents, and really just anyone in the area. Very highly recommended! 🌟

I love this place! 💖 I went with my sister, who is visiting me from overseas, and my daughters, and we all had the best time. The sweets at Halwa Bakery & Cafe are absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. The atmosphere is so cozy and comfortable, it felt like the perfect spot to relax and enjoy our afternoon. And I have to say, the owner Carmen is such a sweet and kind person ❤️ She made us feel so welcome, just like family. If you’re in Blacksburg, you must visit this gem! ✨

Wonderful people in a meticulously self branded atmosphere. I recommend a stop being well worth it and not your last.

The place was not very clean with milk splashed at the front door, chair stained with old coffee spills. The cinnamon buns were old and dry (even though there was a whole tray in the display that didn’t look very old, so I think they may have served me some yesterday’s left over).
The coffee was decent but not enough to return

Their drinks are definitely their strong suit. I love the Iced Thai Tea, Iced Taro(I recommend with 2 pumps of something if you want it to be sweeter), and Iced Chai latte! Their desserts are not so great. The best thing I had was the baklava but some of it wasn’t like deep fried or whatever they do to it. I once tried the pb and j cookie and it didn’t taste like either thing. The brownie I got was very hard and crumbly and it didn’t even taste like chocolate. The service is always great though!

I stumbled upon this gem after a hike by nearby Huckleberry Trail while visiting from North Carolina, needing a place to rest and refuel. I ordered the Halal Latte and a Halal pastry, which were both tasty and something new to enjoy. The interior design is exquisite, from every part of the establishment, with the right balance off creative inspiration but nothing distracting. I would certainly return here the next time I'm in town.

Great place to drink coffee and study!!! The atmosphere is very cozy and calm. I ordered a tomato soup, it was delicious and very filling for just one bowl of soup. I also ordered a Arabic Date Latte (Hot), which is one of my favorite drinks from here, is super flavorful and not too sweet, they also offer dairy free options for the milk. I’ve also ordered the Biscoff Latte which is a little sweeter but really good. Overall really good place to relax or work on homework!!

I love Halwa so much! I came across it a little over a year ago and it’s one of my favorite places to visit. I live a little over an hour away, but will make up many excuses to make the drive for a cup of coffee and a pastry! My favorite order is a large turmeric latte made with oat milk and espresso paired with a heated dairy free pumpkin chocolate chip muffin!

Love the vibe here
