My Dog Duke's Diner

For all my Alabama folks, this restaurant reminds me of Another Broken Egg! My Dog Duke's Diner is a beachy little brunch restaurant located downtown. Dogs are allowed! So if your missing your fur baby, this may be a fun place to stop by for brunch!

Blue Ridge Bagels

19327 Leesville Rd #3493, Lynchburg, VA 24502, USA
(434) 221-3952

This small hole-in-the wall joint has invented one of the most life-changing concepts: coffee ice! Definitely worth a visit! It is not located downtown, so if you want more of a quiet place, this is perfect for breakfast or lunch.

Activities

Lynchburg Community Market

1219 Main St, Lynchburg, VA 24504, USA

During the summer while Joel and I were in maintenance school, we spent several Saturday mornings downtown at the Farmer's Market. I love the sweet peaches they have in the summer. Usually, when my mom and other family come to visit, we wind up at the Farmer's Market.

Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre

4000 Candlers Mountain Rd, Lynchburg, VA 24502, USA

Mission House Coffee

105 Cornerstone St #106, Lynchburg, VA 24502, USA
