“Marigold Breakfast: Where oatmeal and espresso fuel your soul (and your wallet cries quietly in the corner).”
If you’re in downtown Lynchburg and want to start your morning like a classy squirrel, Marigold is the spot. $6 for instant oatmeal? Absolutely. Because nothing says “luxury” like paying café prices to rip open a pouch you could’ve bought in bulk at Kroger. But hey, they pour steamed milk over it, so suddenly it’s gourmet.
The Belgian waffle comes with a choice of syrup or peanut butter, which honestly feels like a test of moral character. I chose syrup, but my friend went peanut butter—and the waffle disappeared in three bites, so maybe he won life.
The espresso menu is proudly Starbucks (because apparently we can’t quit her), but the prices come with a little Lynchburg flair. My Vanilla Latte cost just enough to make me consider taking out a small loan, but it was smooth enough that I didn’t mind. By the time I finished, I was either caffeinated or spiritually levitating.
Also, shoutout to the “whole fruit” section of the menu. For $2, you too can live dangerously and order… an apple. Revolutionary.
Pro tip: Breakfast goes until 11:30, but if you roll in at 11:29, the staff smiles politely like, “Sure, you can still order oatmeal,” while silently judging your life choices.
Final Verdict: Come for the muffins, stay for the overpriced Pop-Tarts, and leave buzzing from espresso like you just got drafted into NASCAR.

It’s a shame that there is so much internal debate within departments. It seems the ship is being steered by multiple divisive humans. #SayCheese?
Parking: Only park here if you absolutely TRUST them. I can’t say I do completely. The staff is great though…

I ordered a panini and they just put cheese and bread in the microwave. My cheese wasn’t even melted let alone the bread toasted. I was very disappointed especially since it was over 10$. The workers ignored us until they finished their conversation. Just an unexpected experience.

This place was an absolute horrible experience. First of all I ordered a panini and I received a microwaved sandwich. This is not a panini. You would think they would have a panini press if they were selling paninis. The workers were more worried about flirting with eachother than serving their customers. This is the worst cafe in Lynchburg. Period. How do you stand there and sell a customer this garbage for $10?

This is a coffee shop that sells premade sandwichs, and salads. We each had different sandwichs, and a banana bread. Our sandwichs we very fresh, and our banana bread was very taisty. every thing is chosen from a cooler, and brought to a cashier. There is no service in this selfserve coffee shop. To us, the prices were expencive. They close at 2 PM.

In search of new coffee shop sites, to share I found this place, with great expectation I go to the site and see a very nice, clean place, and oh surprise!! It's Starbucks ? and the coffee ? is still very watery and tastes like everything except coffee ?Dine in: Yes

Despite some previous negative reviews our experience was the exact opposite! The food was excellent: omelet, quiche, breakfast biscuit, and coffees were all very good. Service was also prompt and courteous!

Really cute little place.Has a seating area to sit after you pick up your order from the counter. Nice spot to grab coffee outside of your room. The coffees fine. I ordered the quiche, and would recommend choosing something else.

A beautiful place with very friendly staff, but that is all it has going for this shop. The food was mediocre at best, the coffee wasn't as good as I had hoped and it was more expensive than it should be.
