Altar Coffee
2825 Brambleton Ave SW, Roanoke, VA
Crema's Take
“The Gladheart partnership has given this pop-up roaster a permanent home where they're consistently pulling some of the most refined espresso and pour overs in the Roanoke Valley. Two sisters are running an exceptionally tight operation here, offering both traditional specialty drinks and creative flavored options that don't compromise on bean quality. If you want coffee treated as a craft rather than a commodity, this is the spot.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot.
