Mill Mountain Coffee at South County Library

  A few weeks ago, I happened to be at the new Roanoke County Library on a Saturday afternoon. I felt a little hungry and checked out Mill Mountain Coffee and Tea. While the barista was very nice and cheerful, it seemed to be too hectic for only two people to run on the busiest library day of the week.
  I went back to the library yesterday and I gave them another shot. With less crowds, two people can very easily run the little place. The food was good the first time I went and it was still good yesterday. Nice consistency. I did not get to try another coffee, but went with a hot chocolate instead. Their hot chocolate it superb!
  I only hope that they can figure out a way to support a third person to help out on Saturdays and I think you will find this little library cafe to be another destination spot!

Mill Mountain Expands into New Library in Roanoke County

  Well, I am excited. Excited at the prospect that a library will finally house a cafe, mixing my love for the roasted bean and for books. I'm a bit nerdy like that. The new Roanoke County library will open tomorrow at 11 AM. Locally-owned business, Mill Mountain Coffee, won the contract to be the featured coffeehouse for the next three years. A total win-win situation for local municipality and local business. You know where I will be tomorrow afternoon! 

It cost $15.5 million to complete the new South County Library, including construction and filling it with furniture, books and other items.
