The Diner at Coal Mine Coffee & Sweets

Delicious food and drinks! Our order was taken very quickly and came out only within 5 minutes it felt like. All the food is made in house and it was definitely one of the best muffins I’ve had! I also appreciated that our server clarified again that the chai is not from concentrate so it’s not pre sweetened like a large chain coffee house chai is.

They have board games in the back if you just want to hang out and a few items up front for sale. Well located next to a bookstore for a weekend coffee and shopping experience.

We will be returning soon!

Lovely little local coffee spot. I went on a "date" with my daughter, so we had the luxury of carefree timelessness.

The menu has a lot of great options, but not so many as to overwhelm. The prices are very reasonable and we were served pretty quickly. It probably took 10 minutes or so for my latte and a scone to be served, which worked well with us because we were hanging out in the couch gathering area reading a book together.

I loved knowing I was in my neighborhood coffee joint and that I could pop over next door to grab another used book 📚

The staff are friendly and personable. Kept checking on me. Love the seasonal drinks. They are always delicious. It’s my favorite local coffee shop. Today I worked there and will definitely be back.

Discovered this place today, and it was one of the best diner I have been to. Super friendly staff and food was so so good.

We used to go to the cafe for sweets and coffee before they moved to the new location diagonally across from where they were on Railey Hill near Burger Bach. The new location is in the Village Marketplace with the Food Lion. It occupies part of what was once the Book Exchange. The food is good and well seasoned. I had the Woodlake Works (biscuits and gravy, topped with home fries, topped with chicken tenders and 2 eggs over easy. Also had their Café Bombon (think Americanized Vietnamese coffee over ice - and 2 of us had 3 of them). We liked their coffee. Two changes to my dish I would like to see: More fat on their home fries (they're oven roasted and don't seem fried in enough fat/oil/drippings). and cook the tenders whole if possible instead of cut up. Makes the tenders less dry. The sticky pecan bun was nice! My kids had a good time with their meal. I'm really liking this iteration of their shop over the old one with the full service food. There's a good spot to keep the kids busy waiting for their food. Welcome back!
