Halwa Bakery & Cafe
700 N Main St suite B, Blacksburg, VA
Crema's Take
“Halwa Bakery & Cafe is a warm, aesthetically thoughtful space in Blacksburg where you can settle in with a distinctive specialty drink like their Arabic Date Latte or Halal Latte alongside homemade pastries and desserts that feel genuinely special. The staff, led by owner Karmen, are known for their genuine kindness and attentiveness—whether you're studying for hours, hosting a celebration, or just passing through after a hike and needing to refuel. It's the kind of cozy, welcoming spot where you feel both cared for and unhurried, making it equally suited for solo focus time or lingering with friends and family.”

Karmen and all of the Halwa staff are wonderful to work with! We hosted our baby shower at the shop and not only had delicious coffee, but also homemade pastries and desserts. I would highly recommend Halwa for all of your events!
I stumbled upon this gem after a hike by nearby Huckleberry Trail while visiting from North Carolina, needing a place to rest and refuel. I ordered the Halal Latte and a Halal pastry, which were both tasty and something new to enjoy. The interior design is exquisite, from every part of the establishment, with the right balance off creative inspiration but nothing distracting. I would certainly return here the next time I'm in town.
Great place to drink coffee and study!!! The atmosphere is very cozy and calm. I ordered a tomato soup, it was delicious and very filling for just one bowl of soup. I also ordered a Arabic Date Latte (Hot), which is one of my favorite drinks from here, is super flavorful and not too sweet, they also offer dairy free options for the milk. I’ve also ordered the Biscoff Latte which is a little sweeter but really good. Overall really good place to relax or work on homework!!
I had a wonderful experience at Halwa Bakery and Coffee! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. One of the team members kindly walked me through the dessert options and explained the unique flavors such a thoughtful touch. The lemon cheesecake was fresh and absolutely delicious, the red velvet cake was soft and creamy, and the chocolate cake was phenomenal. They also offer a great selection of halal options and really good coffee. The cozy atmosphere made it even better. Highly recommended and can’t wait to come back!
I am in absolute love with this place! Beautiful and aesthetic decor. Had many cozy cute places to sit, read and sip on your coffee while chitchatting with friends & family. Many bakery options and pastries to choose from. Everything is so good but my favorites are extreme chocolate cake and Habibi Latte with Pastachio & Honey. The place have an extra seating outside which is also prettier.
