Since it is located just outside of downtown Lynchburg, Virginia, it earns the mark it has grown to deserve. If you don't want to spend an uber amount of money on items, you can order sandwiches, brunch, or coffee all day long. If you are just looking for some good ol' bacon and eggs, you must go to Starlight. They have the best bacon in town...hands down. It is almost British style with its thick nature, and it tastes like it came straight from Texas (if that even makes sense). They're coffee isn't bad either. The decor is about as urban as you can get in Lynchburg, which is a plus in my opinion anyway. The teal walls, dark furniture,... |
