Mill Mountain Coffee Tea - Roanoke

This place is a disgrace to downtown Roanoke. Once a reliable and much-loved gathering space with good coffee and food, it has willingly become nothing more than a homeless shelter. Homeless people occupy the only restroom for prolonged periods of time while paying customers have no option when they need to use the facilities. The homeless blare music throughout the store on their phones and approach customers while they’re ordering to ask if they will buy them things. The staff just watches indifferently as this unfolds nonstop. It is truly remarkable the state of this establishment these days and is unfortunate it’s so close to Hotel Roanoke. What a shame that the visitors to our city end up walking into this when they’re looking for a cup of coffee. This is one business I will never go back to.

Great drinks however the food menu has been discontinued. The only food items available are a few pastries.

People with no place to go sleep thereI miss the old mill Mountain

The banana pudding cooler was delicious! And the place smells heavenly every time you walk in. Their coffe is grade a quality, just wish they were closer to where I live.

I ordered a milkshake. It was thinner than melted ice cream. I took it back. The barista added something to it, but it was no better. He offered to remake it, and it still wasn’t any kind of milkshake. Lesson: Don’t order a milkshake at this MMC&T location. I’ve never had this problem at the MMC&T on Starkey Rd.
