    Wow! What a great coffee shop! Very eclectic atmosphere! Employees were very friendly, and the coffee was divine!

    Bacon, egg, and cheese bagel

    Another artsy coffee shop in the downtown area! From the vintage decor on the walls to the variety of seating around the cafe as well, it's a spot that truly says "This is Downtown Norfolk past to present". The staff is welcoming; they immediately greet you with a smile and are helpful when you're ordering too. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with almond milk (my usual) but I forgot to snap of photo of it. It was good. Not too sweet and the espresso was nice. Wasn't the strongest I ever had but it got the job done on that day and I enjoyed it. It was made pretty fast which I appreciated. My friend ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel which I managed to snap a photo of and their drip coffee. I'm not sure why this place is a popular spot in the area. I found it to be pretty average food and coffee wise. My friend agreed with me. But there is definitely something special about this place that I want to find out about... so I'll be making another trip to this spot when I am back in town.

    Another cute cozy neighborhood coffee shop! A lot of seating with sweet and savory food items! I got the grilled cheese,yo pistachio and carrot cake muffin! With a white chocolate mocha - almond milk! All was very delicious and the service was really nice and knowledgeable when asking about the pastries at the front! Will have to come back to stay longer.. maybe play some board games I saw they have up against the wall! Or even have a day time meeting

    Such a cute coffee spot!! Has a variety of seating options great for hanging out with a few friends or a larger group!! A large menu with many options!! The staff was friendly and very nice! The set was fast and accurate! The ice coffee was very good! I was with a group and everyone enjoyed their coffee! No complaints at all!

    I wandered into this place while I was downtown recently waiting for a concert to start over at the Norva. It was chilly that day, and I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so I opted for the hot chocolate. Super yummy! Comfy leather couches let me sit peacefully and read a book, at least until they kicked everyone out for some kind of private kid's piano recital thing? Sort of weird, but okay. The entire place is ecclectic - nothing really matches and it's a little over-stuffed, like your grandmother's attic. Overall, not a bad experience.

    I have seen aLatte Cafe (AC) on social media and didn't realize where they were located. The other day, I had parked in the metered lot nearby, visiting another restaurant and it caught my eye on the way back to my car. I had had a full meal, but something sweet to cap off the meal never hurts. Located on Granby, the only thing that they don't have going for them is the parking situation. This, of course, is no fault of their own, but I'm sure the parking is a big factor for some when deciding to visit or not. There is street parking (metered) or paid lots like the one I parked in. Hefty fees though, so you've been warned! The vibe is a little bit of everything from antiques, to photography. There is a photograph gallery, a bookshelf full of books and board games. A section for merch too. They have a huge chalkboard with all their offerings behind the service counter. I was in a rush to get back home, so it was a bit overwhelming. I glazed over the menu in fear of being paralyzed with order fright. I saw the ice cream freezer at the service counter, so I just stuck with a cookies and cream milkshake because one of the baristas kept scooping up ice cream in blenders. Their ice cream is from Hershey and they have a variety of flavors. My milkshake was smooth! I saw an espresso milkshake after I ordered, so I'll have to go back for that. Service was friendly and super quick, which is much appreciated in a post COVID world. Stay safe, Friends!!

    Cool place on Granby St downtown, helped wife's caffeine fix during Grand Illumination parade. Enjoy on site or take to go like I did. Nooks and books to cozy up with a variety of food and bev options. Vanilla latte was a win.

    Fun  giraffe decor!!

    I love the friendly faces and the tasty drinks. This combination goes a long way. Good customer service excels when you ask what should I get and your provided with options and a you can't go wrong assurance. I have come here a few times when in the area and it's never a disappointment. Hot fresh drinks and plenty of options on the board with seasonal varieties too. Seating available inside and outside.

    Chocolate malt milkshake with hazelnut syrup

    Don't sleep on this place. Awesome milkshakes. They are the only ones that can get that Nutella flavor that I like. They are also very kind and professional baristas!

    Rose & Violet Oatmilk Latte
    Carmen S.

    Go here. Sit here. Sip your coffee. Here. Took a stroll downtown and found this gem. Laid back vibe. Friendly staff. Quiet shop. Great spot to sit and read a book and just chill. A variety of syrup flavors. And my fave....florals! I combined violet and rose with oat milk and had the latte of my dreams. I will be back but their hours are so hard when it's not the weekend. But it is all worth the wait.....

    This is a very charming, a little eclectic cafe. I love the aesthetic where all the chairs are mismatched. They showcase local artists' photos which is a neat touch. I came here after getting off work early, thinking I'd have the place to myself on a Wednesday at 4pm but it seems like everyone knows about this cafe- it was pretty busy. Rightfully so because it's a great place to do work. I asked for a cherry soda and the barista recommended vanilla with it. Although simple, it was quite refreshing.

    Chile, if this isn't THEE SLOWEST location ever then idk what. We came here after a wine night and…read morethere were only 2 people in front of us, yet it took about 10 mins to serve them. Our party had about 7 ppl, I want to say it took NO LESS than 20 minutes to serve some darn cookies. It took forever, the girl was the absolute slowest, at a snail's pace is still too fast for her. Anyways, I ordered the cinnamon dolce cookie and it had a little filling in the middle. That cookie was amazing! I would go TO A DIFFERENT location but order it again. Because the line was so long, we had a chance to join the rewards and got a free basic cookie. Because of course the cookie I wanted wasn't ready and the wait was 15 mins, I opted for the snickerdoodle which was just OK. The cinnamon dulce is on the money. But, this location was so slow that literally half of the line got frustrated and left. I want to say it was at least 3-4 left the line while we were there. 3 stars because the cookies were good, the location was clean and the young lady was nice/professional.

    Cookies are straight fuego! Definitely recommend the s'more's cookie, or any really…read more Ice cream is meh, definitely just recommend getting the cookies and milk. We've tried the cookie sandwiches a couple times now and it doesn't make sense to get it when the cookies are so good by themselves and the ice cream being meh.

    I remember my first encounter with @shakeitup.shakes like it was yesterday. My cousin…read more@savvythriftnista convinced my sister @fashionablybright and I to drive over the bridge from Chesapeake to Hampton to get a taste of this deliciousness. @shakeitup.shakes had a food truck at the time; we pulled up to a residential neighborhood and jumped out of our car hoping they hadn't sold out for the day. @shakeitup.shakes did not disappoint they still had cotton candy available and served me up one of the best milkshakes in the #757! When @yelpcoastalva let the #YelpElite squad know we would have an opportunity to visit their new storefront @seldenmarket I was so excited. They provide great customer service, the shakes are so good and big enough for two people to share one. I'm so proud of how far this local business has come. All of their hard work has paid off! I encourage everyone to check them out. The cotton candy milkshake is perfect for the little ones and I recommend the butter pecan milkshake for old school adults (seniors) with a sweet tooth!

    I was in Seldon Market and noticed this cute little ice cream shop. They had a pretty wall mural…read moreand all sorts of popping colors. I had never been here so i was looking to see what they had. They have ice cream, milk shakes, cookies, and cupcakes. This is one of those fun places with the deliciously cool looking milk shakes stacked with cookies, brownies, and more!! I got a confetti cookie for $2.50 just to try something. I wanted a milkshake but i was full after trying other goodies in the market. But I'll be back to try it for sure. The cookie was good and soft. It tasted fresh. I am sure I'll find something else that taste good when i come back. Stop by and give them a try..

    My husband and I were looking forward to using a $10 gift card that we had gotten. Little did we…read moreknow that we weren't going to have the fun date night we envisioned. First of all, we waited for about 15 minutes to even be acknowledged. There were two employees there. One was doing something in the back and could only be heard (not seen), and the other one was taking her sweet time talking to the customers who were in front of us. I thought we'd be acknowledged once they got their ice cream, but instead she prioritized the online orders. Finally the other employee came out, but she worked on online orders too. We still weren't acknowledged at all. I would have appreciated if they at least said, "We'll be with you soon." We were finally able to order (no apology for the unreasonable amount of time we had to wait). My husband got his ice cream first. He went outside while I waited for mine. As soon as I joined him, he told me that he had lost his appetite for the ice cream. So did I. They overfilled the waffle bowl (we only ordered the medium size), and the ice cream was served to us MELTED. It just kept dripping out of the bowl. It was also over-mixed. We were only able to get a partial refund (we spent more than $10), because they said they don't offer refunds on the waffle bowls. I don't think I'll ever return to this location. Avoid the disappointment, and go elsewhere. I would give 0 stars if I could.
