Running Latte
4096 Electric Rd SW, Roanoke, VA
Crema's Take
“Running Latte's Almond Joy latte has earned cult-favorite status among Roanoke regulars, and the creative signature drinks prove the baristas actually care about flavor, not just speed. This tiny drive-thru and walk-up window operates with genuine warmth—the kind of place where one person running the show somehow still makes you feel like the only customer who matters. If you're craving specialty espresso drinks made with real skill and a side of actual human kindness, it's absolutely worth the detour to the Madison Square parking lot.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast on the menu. Parking available. Drive-thru.

Just the cutest little coffee shop with amazing coffee! I’ve tried an oat milk cappuccino and a dirty chai and both were so amazing. As someone who has worked at a coffee shop and a coffee roastery in the past I’m very impressed. The taste of the coffee was so good and the…
