The coffee here is delicious. Great options for pour overs which is my favorite brewing method. Friendly baristas to chat with as well. I also really like that they have two different kinds of espresso beans to choose from for espresso shots!

Pricey but legit. Previously called third Wave and it is the third wave snob Lexus coffee experience vs the also quality but more standard Toyota Joe beans experience

Visiting from ATX. Phenomenal bean selection and really quality brews. If you are a coffee head, check this spot out.

Visiting family in the area and needed a place to work. Excellent Coffee... better than any chain I've been to. The nicest people are here, and seems to be the local hotspot for meet ups, and remote workers. Great atmosphere. Glad I found this local gem.

Such a fun little coffee shop with a solid aesthetic, perfect environment for hanging out with friends or family, or just grabbing a computer to study! Very calm and relaxed, and solid people working behind the counter. Super sweet and helpful, especially on hot days like today when I’m not sure what to get! We loved our time here, and after trying so many coffee shops in LYH, this is one of my new favorite, go to spots!

I moved to Lynchburg from Michigan and searched for the best coffee shop in town - and this is it. I worked in the coffee industry for over 6 years, I am a coffee connoisseur and love to try new coffee shops when I visit new towns. Kinship is some of the best coffee that I have truly ever had. I frequent here nearly every Saturday, and the staff are always SO welcoming. Their spring special the Pandan Vanilla Latte was my absolute favorite drink ever. I cannot recommend Kinship enough, if you haven't visited yet, this is your sign!

these guys seem to take coffee seriously. We had the regular cold brew and the japanese cold brew, both were really good, the japanese is more complex and has a fermented tang thant makes it really interesting.

I LOVE Kinship Roasters! They make the best latte in Lynchburg/Forest! The baristas make an effort to remember you and your order. They are always super kind too! I love working from there and it’s a chill atmosphere with good vibes. The only downside is that it sometimes gets crowded and it’s hard to find a seat if you come later in the morning.

Best coffee in Lynchburg. Also love the new name!

Great coffee, service was quite slow but I'm not sure if that's unusual or not. Would recommend the syrups as they were the highlight!
