We chose the Red Dragon Lattes! The Barista said it was like a Red Velvet Latte❤️🖤 of course that was our choice! Excellent place to chill & enjoy! We placed my Dads Bench outside their door! #hometowngirl support this locally family owned small business❤️🖤 Worth getting off the Interstate! #supportinglocal

Best coffee in town. They can get busy but you'll understand why when you get your order!

Lovely coffee shop and the employees were helpful. They roast the coffee themselves. We stopped in and took our coffee and food out. The shop is nice and they have tables and a couch. We also bought some of the West Virginia blend coffee grounds to make at home. The coffee is amazing. Definitely recommend people stop in.

I had house drip coffee and coffee cake at my most recent visit. The arrangement is nice for small group conversation. Not fancy; lots of repurposed furniture (that's a plus in my thinking). This business supports the community with stand-up comedy, local musicians and special events. Friendly staff and customers. Limited pastry selection.

Fantastic coffee shop in St. Albans. I got the iced chai latte and a bagel. Perfect on all counts and a great staff!!!

I was here for Pest Control Services and it is the first time I’ve ever been inside this beautiful place. I was offered a coffee from one of the two sweet girls up in the front, which I kindly declined because I had already went through Wendy’s earlier. I had a few more stops for pest control and one brought me close to Coal River Coffee Co. again. I walked back in and decided to get a coffee and the service here from those ladies is phenomenal. They absolutely love their job and their work ethic shows it. Great hospitality, great coffee, great people. If you haven’t stopped here, you need to. Simply a blessed business!

This place is so welcoming and the staff is so friendly. Everything from the selection of coffee, tea, food and pastries was perfect. The aesthetic here is so Awesome and fun. I came in to town from Ohio to visit my aunt and found this coffee shop on a whim when looking on Google. I'm so glad I did. I highly recommend. Love it!

Place is rustic with furniture which i love. Obviously a coffee shop but also sell IPAs (beer) nice curveball. The two ladies working the counter sweet and full of personality. Overall phenomenal vibe!

I was gifted a specialty coffee for Mother’s Day and had to return it to be ground. I didn’t eat while there, but the food being served looked outstanding. The crowd there for lunch seemed pleased. The staff was so sweet, welcoming, and the atmosphere there was so cool and quirky. I will absolutely be going back there for a planned lunch. By the way, the coffee I received was so delicious!!! In fact, I’m drinking double my normal morning Java because it’s so yummy!! Cool place! Check it out!!!

I've been going here for years and I absolutely love it... the baristas are amazing and super friendly and if you have an issue with the food or coffee they will always try their best to help you. Their frappes are amazing and would recommend them 10/10. 😋

Great service and coffee! Thoroughly enjoyed my stop in this quaint American small-town historical district coffee shop.

This place is a Gem in a Beautiful City of the name St. Albans, these people make the best coffee around, the environment is sensory friendly, there are plenty of options available in books to read. Is on The main Plaza. AMAZING Place! This is my new coffee shop.

Every town needs an independent coffee shop like Coal River Coffee Company. It has all of the charm I want in my coffee shop. I like the aesthetic. Great place to chit chat with a friend or get some work done on the laptop. The options are vast and they have every flavor imaginable. I’ve never had a bad experience in my 5 or so visits. I think this is a good addition to the main drag in St. Albans and I wish some other shops would come in and follow suite. They do good business here and I will help support them in the future when I’m in the area.

Our first time here as we are heading towards home to Rock Hill SC from vacation. A beautiful little spot for some coffee, non coffee, brunch or healthier options. I chose the Turtle Mocha and my husband decided on London Fog. Very nice atmosphere with music playing and if you need a book to read, they have that too.

Great little place in the heart of Saint Albans. Warm inviting atmosphere, with fantastic live music. It is filled with books, which make a great way to relax and enjoy a meal, or coffee. The barista, Allie, was such a delight! She was knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome! We ordered white mocha beverages, frappe and over ice. They were delicious! Definitely will be going back to Coal River Coffee Company!!!

Today was the first time we've tried Coal River Coffee Company. Their store is a nice, cozy, comfortably lit place with a good amount of seating, a book section where you can chose from dozens (if not a couple hundred) books to enjoy while you sit down for your coffee, as well as a few stickers and other souvenir-type things to buy. I tried an iced decaf pumpkin latte, and it was very good, great flavor without being overwhelming with pumpkin, and smooth. Service was very friendly and fast. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try if you're in the area and craving a coffee.

Coal River Coffee Company is an absolute hiding gem in St. Albans. If you have not been here, you are missing out. This place beats Starbucks or any other chain coffee place hands down. And the service is GREAT! Always so friendly and nice.

Very welcoming staff and owner. We both got hot chocolate, yum, made with coconut milk. I order the grilled cheese and we got three of the the baked goodies. I cannot complain about one thing. The baked goods were flavorful and moist! Oh, the restroom was clean, I don’t know about you but that’s important to us . Please support tho local shop and spend local! It goes a long way.

National Coffee Day Stopped by a small-town coffee shop to celebrate National Coffee Day! Coal River Coffee Company did not disappoint... I have the in-house roasted ‘Almost Heaven’ blend with three beans from three of the most famous coffee regions. Great & friendly customer service... wish I was going to be in town longer to enjoy this gem.

Had a Mango fruity Lemonade w/caffeine. It was delicious! Nice spot to sit & chat. Can't give 5 stars since no Coke Zero.

What a gem. We're not often in St. Albans but it's so pleasant here we intend to visit more frequently. Gotta amend the rating from 5 to 3 stars. Being closed on Sundays is not bright. Close on a weekday when fewer people wish to linger with a specialty coffee and food. 🙂💜
