I ordered an aeropress coffee and lemon poppy muffin. I like the environment a lot. There are tables with books and games and some couches. :)

Awesome coffee shop! Nice & welcoming appearance, terrific staff, excellent music choice, and a good amount of space. The employees were very friendly, phenomenal coffee and really just a good experience overall. Very impressed, the coffee shop looks a bit small from the outside, but opens up nicely inside.

While the coffee is good, the bathroom was honestly gross. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages and I was disappointed at the state of it.

Ordered a double cheese pizza and got a triple cheese pizza. Let's just say I was surprised. I have never experienced a slice like this before. Best pizza in town, no question. Tony was very nice. I have attached a photo of Tony.

The employees are so friendly and will have a conversation with you while they make your drink if it isn't too busy. The atmosphere I'd calming and comfortable. But more importantly, the drinks are made perfectly! Soo good. I'll be back as often as I can. My friend and I got the London fog and a caramel/white chocolate latte. I also have gotten their Matcha latte, and it does not disappoint.

Fantastic seasonal drinks, wonderful atmosphere with lots of space and awesome staff! It was my first time there and loved it. My peppermint mocha also looked beautiful! 😍

Eh I like to give places chances but here’s where it gets sticky so to speak I find myself homeless an living in my car working at the Walmart right next door an seeking employment well further employment to be correct but as I call no answer I consider it’s because its late perhaps but they don’t close for another hour so being as heavy as my social anxiety is to just step inside I attempted to call again as I walked by only to see several women standing around ignoring the phone haha if only I got paid every time I’ve seen the exact scene Waffle House etc. horrible habit well in saying this would’ve been a great worker if hired but seeing as the staff as all female doubt it already I’d get hired unless I was a woman…daily if not multiple times a customer I would’ve been my test is always this and always the same thing I’ll call if no answer I pay it no mind if I’m like 2 mins away I’ll drive close call again see what occurs nothing they stay in the same spots everyone’s served no customers just chatting away wish I had the leisure an time to just lean chat ignore ringing phones an just do whatever what a let down to was getting back into coffee I think I’ll save myself some cash

Went here yesterday to purchase fresh coffee bean. The employees are so friendly and answered my questions about how to make a perfect espresso. The environment inside is comfortable and relaxed. I am so happy to have this coffee shop near my new home in Lynchburg. Happy to know they have an online shop. Will definitely come again.

Great place for a meeting. When I arrived the coffee was being roasted by a nice gentleman named Jacob. He explained how their process worked and seemed very passionate about what he was doing. It was wonderful to hear his love for what seemed to him to be the art of coffee. I didn't understand everything he said but I truly appreciated his love for coffee... And frankly, it smelled delicious 😍 I tried the London Fog latte - yummy. I definitely recommend getting it in the ceramic cup and spending a few minutes relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. It was quiet enough to have a business conversation with enough movement and bustle to not be overheard by the people around you during said conversation. PLUS: Free wifi!!! #winning

if i was in prison and someone asked me what i would want my last drink to be, it would be a third wave latte no questions asked. i would commit a crime for this latte. i would walk through a blizzard for this latte. i would walk on burning coals if a third wave latte was on the other end.

Came back again. Today I tried an espresso tonic, by recommendation and with a warning that it might be too unique. Good for me, I like new and interesting and weird. 🤣🤌 It was called the Honey Bee. Great lil’ spot! Worked here remotely while visiting.

This is the one place that the people of Lynchburg should be grateful for. They do real coffee. I'm talking real single origin, artisan roasted that is akin to George Howell. It takes some training and acclimating to truly enjoy and appreciate this coffee. I place Third Wave among the top three in the state along with Red Rooster in Floyd and Roadmap in Lexington which are two of the top 20 roasteries in the country. Thank you 3rd wave for blessing our country town with your coffee.

I have been frequenting this establishment for about 2 years now. It is without any doubt the best coffee shop in Lynchburg. The coffee is never burnt, is always properly brewed, and the service is excellent. The employees are exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. Their menu is fantastic and fresh. If you truly enjoy flavor and sudden nuances of great coffee and espresso from around the world, or if you want just a regular coffee fix, look no further than Third Wave. I can promise you will not be disappointed.

Baristas don’t have a strong sense of urgency or how to build drinks/run orders in a fast and efficient matter. Only come if you have the time to wait….. coffee is ok but eh

Great people and great coffee options. They offer a lot of unique, seasonal options as well and the baristas here know how to make a specialty coffee properly. Right temperature, right number of shots of espresso by default, and right ratios of flavors.

This place never fails to amaze. They have complex and lovely flavors. It's the perfect place to hang out with friends or study on a rainy day. They have a little something for everyone.
