I swear, this is one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've ever been in. The ambiance was warm and inviting and I loved the chandeliers and decor. When you walk in, there's a QR code to scan to view the Full Menu, so I was able to look over the food and drink items while I waited in line. Once I knew what I wanted, I looked over all the pastries available on display! Everything looked delicious. Between the Cruffin and the Pistachio Tres Leches Cake, I couldn't choose which was more appetizing. I decided on the Strawberry Vanilla Matcha Latte, since I've been on my matcha kick and it didn't take long for it to be ready. I took my first sip and I was in heaven! My drink tasted perfect!!! I hate that Colattao is so far from me but it was definitely worth the drive! The next time I'm in the area, I will be stopping in and definitely trying one of the pastries!!!

Really enjoyed my visit to Colattao Coffee House!…read more The staff was super friendly and personable, which made the experience even better. I got the matcha, and it was delicious!! The shop itself is so cute and Instagram-worthy--honestly, every corner is picture-worthy. It has such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. I went on the weekend, and it was definitely busy, but the atmosphere was great. I also really like that they have designated no-laptop hours. With how busy the shop can get, I could see seating becoming almost nonexistent if people were staying for hours working. It was actually really nice to see people sitting around and having conversations instead of everyone being on their laptops. Overall, a cute and cozy coffee shop with great drinks, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping by!

We recently stopped by COVA Brewing Company after visiting the nearby Farmers Market…read more Although they were quite busy, the staff kept the line moving efficiently and service was surprisingly quick. They offer a great selection of coffee and espresso-based drinks, along with a variety of baked goods if you're looking for a snack. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions or make recommendations for those who may be undecided. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to returning the next time we're in the area.

Wow! COVA Brewing it's been so long and finally! I frequent the area and feel bad I've neglected…read morethis awesome Norfolk establishment for so long. This review actually has two great businesses because I visited Klassic Doughnut's food truck too! Ok first things first. Every Wednesday through this Summer Klassic Doughnuts food stand will be available at COVA 8-11 AM. They are in my opinion the best cake doughnuts in our area. They are a major draw for COVA. I purchased a few to go. With COVA I specifically wanted to try their coffee. I was blown away upon arrival to see their outdoor space. It's huge and beautiful. On a weekday at 11 AM without school even out was busy! The counter service was helpful and friendly. I told the staff I wanted a black coffee and was directed to what beans were being offered. I opted for an Ethiopian pour over. The coffee comes in a large and priced competitive. It took a bit with being busy and a pour over, but boy was the wait worth it. Probably the best coffee I've had in any recent memory and I drink a lot of coffee. The space inside is compact, but they offer a side patio that's covered too! COVA is late to offering coffee, maybe 5 years or so. However, they are established with brewing award winning beer. I chatted with a female brewer a minute who was so sweet and invited me back for a glass. They also have a bakery case with offerings that looked good. So I need to return. So exciting to share such a gem in East Beach. Parking may be an issue, but off street neighborhood streets are available.

I said thank you so so much. This is exactly why i love supporting smaller business, they are soo welcoming and nice and understanding.

It was my first time here, so I asked one of the ladies some questions while I was ordering. She was very helpful and friendly with recommending her favs. I ordered a Caramel and Toasted marshmallow frappe (8/10) it was pretty good and a Breakfast sandwich (9/10) it had ham, egg, and cheese; the cheese was melty and the croissant was nice and flaky. I def see myself retuning soon; I wanna try their seasonal flavors before they get switched as well as some of their pastries. My overall rate of experience : 8.5/10

As someone that loves coffee, I was excited for the Yelp Event at Coaster Coffee. The vibe is all…read moreabout Community. When we were there, a group of young Moms were enjoying coffee as their Children enjoyed a play area just steps away from their Moms. The atmosphere was welcoming with pictures of the Old Ocean View Amusement park which was like a walk down memory lane for this Norfolk girl having spent many days at the park as a young child. A very pleasant employee greeted us as we arrived. I chose the S'mores latte which was absolutely phenomenal, as was the snickerdoodle cookie. The egg scramblers in the display case looked so good, we got those to take home with us. I will definitely be returning to this gem. On the way out I noticed a water bowl just outside the front door for dogs. Great coffee and pet friendly, who could ask for more?

As a veteran-owned company, BRCC has always had my support, and finally getting to experience the coffee shop in person was a treat. I ordered a latte, and I was not disappointed. It was bold, rich, and strong--fittingly as strong as the men and women who have served our country. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the coffee was exactly what I've come to expect from Black Rifle Coffee: top-notch. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

I stopped by Kobros Coffee around 11:45 a.m. on a Friday morning. One thing that caught me off…read moreguard was that it isn't a standalone coffee shop. It operates out of Toast on weekdays and Perro Blanco on weekends. I ended up circling the block for a while trying to find it because I had no idea where it was located. Apparently they mention this on Instagram, but since I don't have Instagram, I only figured it out after the fact. I can't help but wonder how many potential customers end up at Mea Culpa Coffee, which is right behind Toast and much easier to identify as a coffee shop. Once I went inside Toast and asked, the cashier explained that I was already in the right place. Mystery solved. I ordered the iced blueberry lemon zest matcha latte with coconut milk, and it was genuinely delicious. The blueberry and lemon complemented the matcha really well, making for a refreshing drink that wasn't overly sweet. My only hesitation is the price. At $9, it felt a bit steep for a drink that appeared to be about 16 ounces and was filled almost entirely with ice. While I enjoyed it and would order it again, I'd have a hard time justifying the price on a regular basis. Overall, the quality of the drink was excellent, but I think Kobros could make the experience even better by making their location more obvious outside of Instagram and offering a little more value for the price.

Have been meaning to visit this place while out in Norfolk and finally made my way! The area was…read moresuper intimate and cozy for a nice chill vibe, accompanied with some outdoor seating. This location has a smaller menu, but an experienced staff to recommend a good array of flavors within their drink choices. My significant other and I ordered: The Peaches seasonal latte: The freshness of the fruit shines through without overpowering the coffee. Brown Sugar Cinnamon latte: Every note balances each other out with minimal sweetness and an exaggerated flavor. I can confidently say this is one of the FEW places i've ever gotten coffee. Not the over sugared milky drink with drops of coffee flavor, but COFFEE!

Absolutely loved my first visit to Coalescence Coffee! This spot is more than just a coffee shop…read more It's a nonprofit community hub where everyone's welcome, and you really feel that vibe the moment you walk in. There's tons of space for remote work, community meetings, or just hanging out, and I noticed several groups using the open, airy cafe for coworking and conversation. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. I ordered the Monticello breakfast sandwich (with sausage, egg, cheddar, arugula, and a delicious aioli on an English muffin) and their Brown Sugar No. 05. A creative blend of brown sugar, rosemary, cinnamon, espresso, milk, and a hint of orange bitters. It was unique, refreshing, and seriously addicting! My friend went for the brown sugar latte and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese, which she loved. I was so interested in their nonprofit work, and after a quick website visit, I learned that Coalescence creates space for all kinds of community groups to gather and learn together, partnering locally and globally to lift up important work. Events, co-working, and shared community workspace are all available, with donors and volunteers supporting the mission so this resource keeps growing. If you're looking for great coffee, delicious food, or just a welcoming place to connect, this is it. Can't wait to come back!
