My husband and I are regulars at Big Ugly but I've never taken the opportunity to try Taxus Street until this week. I tried to come on Monday and quickly learned they were closed, so returned the following day. They operate inside the brewery and have a nice setup in the corner. There is lots of seating - bars and high tops - and it's a great spot for a morning gathering. There was a meeting in the upstairs loft happening during my visit. The barista who assisted me was working solo. She was super friendly and happy to answer my questions. I was glad to hear they offer decaf espresso. I opted to try one of their seasonal lattes - the Mounds Bar latte with almond milk, mocha and coconut cold foam. It took only a few minutes for my order to be prepared. I did find the drink to be slightly sweet for my taste and would ask for half sweet on my next visit. For the lactose intolerant, they have almond and oat milk options. They also have several pastries and some hot food options to choose from like overnight oats and breakfast burritos from Burrito Perdido. I was really pleased with my recent visit and I'll be happy to come back soon!

Anxious to try out RoJo Coffee for breakfast and I'm so glad we stopped in this morning. This cozy…read morebreakfast and lunch spot is clean and quaint. There's barstool seating at the countertop facing the grill and a few chairs at a carved wooden tabletop facing the large window. RoJo Coffee also has some outdoor seating options under a large tree. The menu is very impressive with specialty lattes and teas, and energy drinks, too. The breakfast and lunch menu offers a variety that's sure to please everyone's taste buds. I truly enjoyed the Belgian Waffle that comes with their house made mixed berry compote and powdered sugar, along with pure maple syrup, and house whipped cream. I liked how the chilled compote, syrup, and whipped cream were served in separate containers so that I could dip! Nice touch! The Belgian Waffle was fluffy and tasty! I also enjoyed my choice of The Lola (White Snickerdoodle Latte) specialty latte with oak milk (extra charge) that features white mocha, cinnamon & vanilla. My husband really liked his order of the Breakfast Burrito with bacon, noting how tasty their house salsa was. His specialty latte was The Moose which is their honey roasted peanut latte (toasted marshmallow, peanut butter & honey). Our orders were taken by the mother of one of the owners. She was very friendly and pleasant, telling us to take our time looking over the menu. She pointed out the month of May specials, and you could tell how happy she was to support this small business. We're thankful to have such a wonderful breakfast and lunch option with specialty beverages on the south side of the Great Bridge Locks. IYKYK

The coffee was good, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of…read morethe shop was a major issue. The environment didn't appear to be well maintained, and it made the experience feel unsanitary. What concerned me the most was watching an employee fill my boyfriend's iced coffee with tap water directly from the sink. That completely changed my confidence in how drinks are prepared. Good coffee is important, but cleanliness and proper food handling are just as important. I hope they address these issues because the coffee itself has a lot of potential.

The employees here always seem to be in a good mood and make the drinks in a timely manner. We come to this location of the other one because the drinks seem to be made better. I know syrups are occasional left out and such, but the other locations do it more often this one it seems. The store on the inside is always clean, and the pickup location for mobile orders is easy to find. The drive thru has a good amount of room to wrap around, but it can block out some of the parking spots. Now just if Starbucks would stop raising their prices so much! Nothing the actual employees can do about that though.

Even after three years away and moving back, the wait is still insane. We were quoted 18-25 minutes…read moreon the mobile app for our order (3 drinks, 3 breakfast sandwiches). The drinks came out pretty quickly but they were so backed up with the food orders that it took an extra 25 minutes AFTER the quoted window. They need to find a better method, like shutting down mobile orders until they're cleared their queue instead of just continuing to take orders and creating an epic food backlog.

The serving was big and it was quite the treat. Messy but delicious. It's probably a good thing I don't live in their delivery range or within walking distance.

Every…read morevisit has been consistently great, and it's one of those places we keep coming back to whenever we're craving something sweet. Our go-to orders are the Classic Crêpe and the S'mores Crêpe. The Classic is simple but perfectly done, while the S'mores is the perfect dessert with just the right balance of chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker flavors without being overly sweet. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the quality is consistently excellent.

This location was busy, packed with teenagers having a hangout sesh which I thought was cute. There were also people coming in and out grabbing orders for take out. I ordered the Fajita Pita as a rice bowl as always at the other location and I also got a Strawberry Watermelon Pineapple Juice. It took a little minute to get my food just because it was busy which I didn't mind. My rice bowl tasted the same as the other location which gave me much satisfaction and is a testament of the consistency across locations. The juice was refreshing and well balanced. Overall I enjoyed my pickup and I am happy to know there's another location I can go to if I need and want to. I am craving it as I write this review!!!

The person behind the counter was nice, though it kinda felt like they were trying to be nice if that makes sense. Whatever, I've read about this place before so I knew what to expect. Honestly, I didn't think this spot would work considering where it's located, but it does. The food was fresh, solid portions, and I'd definitely go back.

We have visited the Kitty Kingdom Cat Cafe a couple times and for the price of entry you'd think…read morethey'd make sure things were in better condition. Mainly the smell. I don't know how others can do it but the smell is just too strong to even consider anything from the cafe. Now, there are two rooms. A Kittens room and adult cat room. Usually the kittens room is the most crowded, but sometimes it can be the opposite depending on the day I feel like. When the rooms are too full it does take the fun out of the visit since you are less likely to be able to play with the cat you like. A true negative which isn't due to the facility itself but maybe lack of attention from the employees is sometimes there are parents who allow their kids to run wild and do as they please with the animals. The cats are adorable and up for adoption, great concept to make money while helping out the animals at the same time. Overall I believe the Kitty Kingdom Cafe is a cute spot to go hang out, especially on a rainy day but not somewhere I'd go on a regular basis.

My son & I stopped by to see what this kitty cafe was all about. We came on a Tuesday afternoon…read more The young lady at the counter was nice. She explained we had to choose which room we wanted to go in (kittens or adults). It was $12 person for 30 minutes. We chose the adult cats' room. The facility was clean. They offered drinks and snacks for purchase. The only thing that bothered me was the smell inside the building. It's just an overwhelming smell of cats. I think it's a mixture of litter and urine. It's a very strong odor that ended up giving me a headache. The couple cats that came to us were super sweet. The room we were in had plenty of cat trees, and toys for the cats to be kept happy.

Looking back at the photos and wow! I'm sorry it's been so long, but I'm here now! After an afternoon of driving up from North Carolina, I was ready for beer and air conditioning and some wifi. I found all here and it was a great spot. Open, comfortable and friendly. I had a high top table but there was all kinds of other seating, both inside and out. For beers, I very much enjoyed their Tiny Panzer, a tasty hefeweizen. For seconds while Yelping with my laptop, the BUB Lite was a lighter American lager that was surprisingly flavorful and totally crushable. Big Ugly does not have a kitchen (yay, they can have dogs!) and today they were pairing up with the Pinoy Delights food truck. They have a schedule on their webpage. This is a superior spot and I enjoyed my evening. [Review 729 of 2025 - 1485 in Virginia - 24289 overall]
