I had the waffle and a cinnabun latte. My wife had the veggie quich and a caramel latte. Both Excellent. Service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere is great. We really like this place.

My favorite coffee shop whenever I'm visiting the area. They're signature lattes are delicious and great for a standard cup of coffee as well. They're always so friendly delicious it is truly a classic cozy coffeehouse.

Always enjoyed to have brunch at Sweet Donkeys. People making food and drink are always nice and atmosphere is clean and bright. Waffles are always hot and straight from griddle to you. Carmel Hot Latte is the best I have ever tasted! Always hot and delicious. We ate our food upstairs. Plenty of rooms and space to enjoy your food and drink. Great place in Cristal Springs when wanting great Coffees and foods.

In the heart of the Historic Old Southwest neighborhood of Roanoke, Virginia, there is a beautiful Old Victorian house that has been converted to a lovely little quaint Coffee Shop named Sweet Donkey Coffee. This morning I went to visit it as soon as it opened at 6:00am. It was still dark outside when I arrived and extremely cold outside, but the old mansion converted to Sweet Donkey Coffee looked very majestic surrounded by bright light bulbs all around. When I entered the red brick building, I found that the renovation had turned out amazingly extraordinary. The original well polished hardwood floors gave character to the place that was painted with dark tone blue paint and the walls full of modern oil paintings all around. The furniture were simple yet elegant and the white framed windows gave it an air of distinction. And what amazed me most is that at that early time of the morning the Coffee Shop was full of customers all around. There where two ladies who seemed like good friends seated in a table next to a window. An older man drinking coffee and reading something from his cellphone. A young man was seated in a small table with his laptop taking advantage of the Free Wi-Fi. A lady who seemed like a loyal customer was at another table who when she found out it was my first time there, she spoke highly of the place to me and in particular about their wonderful Waffles, one of which she was eating and allowed me to photograph to include with this review. The coffee and food station was behind a wonderfully designed counter surrounded with bakery items to accompany your cup of coffee or tea. A young woman behind the counter greeted me with a warm and friendly smile. I ordered a House Made Breakfast Sandwich, with a White Chocolate Raspberry Muffin made in the house, and to drink a large Cafe Mocha. When I paid with my credit card I joined their Club and earned a point. Then I took my order to a small table next to their Christmas Tree. Everything tasted amazingly good. From the Cafe Mocha that had a beautiful design on top, to the breakfast sandwich that was heated with a pressed iron toaster, to the Muffin that was so soft and fresh. As I was eating other customers arrived and put in their orders and waited to be called to pick the orders up. A father and son picked their order and sat in a table on the other side of the Christmas Tree. Other friend couples and single customers ordered and sat down. You would never imagine it was so early in the morning but the incredible atmosphere of the place attracted people of all ages, family and friends, to share quality time there, drinking a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, accompanied by a fresh bakery items. What a wonderful place. I highly recommend this place to all. Come by yourself or with family and friends. You will feel so comfortable surrounded by this beautiful renovated historic house, and welcomed by the friendly baristas behind the counter. Once you come here once, you immediately would want to return.

We are here for our daughter's NCAA volleyball championship D3 tournament. We went to sweet donkey the first day and it's been our go to for the last 5 mornings Their coffee drinks are so good! So many options. They have a great selection of breakfast items as well. I am gluten free & tried their gluten free muffin & it was so good. They also have oatmeal, yogurt, and egg sandwiches. Highly recommend!

An adorable little coffee shop in a converted home. I loved the big front patio as well as the cozy seating in the various rooms inside. The PB seasonal latte was absolutely delicious. I wish I could go here every day!

This is a very nice looking house which has abundant free parking and plenty of indoor and outdoor space if you want to sit around, which I did not do on my initial visit but would certainly like to. Food options were limited, but my parfait, which came out of the refrigerator with blueberries but received an extra helping of strawberries at the counter, did provide me with the sustenance I needed. Their chai was syrupy and heavy on cinnamon. Tasty but nothing special. Four stars for the fare and a fifth for ambiance, as far as I'm concerned.

Love!!! We were staying in Roanoke and our favorite thing to do in Vacation is to find small coffee shops. This was the one we picked and we loved it. I had the orange silk latte iced. It was the perfect pick me up for our drive up further into the Mountains. It looks like it used to be a house which I love when places restore and rehab. Definitely reminds me of 'home'

I loved this cafe! It's inside a cute little house in Roanoke. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very close to the hotel I was staying at. Nice area. Good parking. The cold brew was delicious, not bitter and very flavorful. The lemon blueberry muffin and Nutella brownie were some standouts. Would recommend coming here!
