Crema's Take
“Arabica Cafe & Bakery is a warmly decorated haven in Blacksburg where specialty coffee drinks and matcha lattes pair beautifully with house-made crepes and pastries, making it equally perfect for a serious study session or a leisurely catch-up with friends. The staff genuinely seems to care about creating a welcoming space, and the impressive range of flavored syrups and thoughtfully crafted beverages suggests they take their craft seriously without any pretension. It's the kind of place locals have been waiting for—a real gem that delivers on atmosphere, quality food, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to linger.”

Absolutely GEM of a place. I grew up in Radford and there was nothing like this coffee shop in town for a long time. It was about time, and let me tell you it didn't disappoint one bit. Came down from Boston to discover one of the most delicious and interesting spots I have ever visited. The crepe shawarma is must try and although it is not a standard shawarma the meat tastes like nowhere else, absolutely AMAZING!
Absolutely love Arabica Café & Bakery! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—perfect for studying, catching up with friends, or just relaxing with a great cup of coffee. The staff are always friendly and genuinely care about their customers. Their espresso drinks are spot-on every time, and the food is fresh and flavorful (highly recommend the breakfast wraps and pastries!). It’s clear they put pride into everything they serve. Easily one of the best local spots in Radford—a must-visit for coffee lovers! ☕✨
If you're looking for a cafe with a wide array of coffee and dessert, amazing staff, and some of the cutest decor I've ever seen - you have to visit this cafe. My friend and I both ordered dessert and drinks, and we received both of our orders in less than 10 minutes. The food was fresh, and hands down some of the best dessert I've ever had. The staff was also incredibly polite. I will definitely continue coming back!
We arrived just before lunch. It was moderately busy. The staff was very friendly. I was impressed with the variety on the menu for food, coffee/tea/drink and pastry options. Tons of flavored syrup choices. The atmosphere is cozy with various seating options. Unfortunately I was unable to order as they had no non-dairy options for drinks except juice. My family of 4 got food and drinks. The omelet was amazing and the wrap was delicious. My baklava tasted like it sat in a refrigerator for awhile. We ordered to go but it took almost an hour to receive everything and it was brought out as dine in. We had already played 2 rounds of Uno so we stayed to eat at that point. It was brought out one item at a time so it was a little odd waiting for the last person to finish eating. I'd try it again, maybe it was just an off day. I highly recommend the food and coffees. Just go when you have time to wait. It is a little pricey but not horrible.
Stopped by for some breakfast with the babes, we tried two crepes that were very delicious and the matcha latte was also really tasty - it was hot and creamy. I would definitely recommend this spot for breakfast or brunch. We'll be back!
