You order at the front register, they give you a number to place on your table & you choose a seat if you're dining in. I ordered the rice, sweet potato & salmon bowl & a Paloma. The bowl was only okay-- they didn't cook the mushrooms at all, the sweet potatoes were cold & the salmon was stiff. The paloma was decent enough. I overall really like this place for the convenience, the vibe, & the good service. I would definitely come back here if I'm back in town!

The meat was also not warm at all, like the center was cold when I'd bite into it, as if it wasn't heated fully from frozen. I got a lemon/mango tea and it didn't taste like lemon or mango at all. I wouldn't recommend. The cashier was nice tho. It was super quiet inside (lots of ppl studying/with laptops) which made us feel like we should eat outside if we wanted to talk. It kinda looks/feels like a library.

They have house matcha AND ceremonial matcha * They roast their own coffee * Their rotating specials are always very interesting Recommendations for improvement: * the only thing I would suggest is for the shop to introduce a rewards system or punch card! I go here so often, even a punch card having the 10th drink as free would be a game changer Tip: they validate parking in dominion tower garage, check out their instagram for more details!

My best Norfolk discovery so far! Was staying on business and wanted a morning waterfront walk and…read moreNeptune's is perfectly situated on the pathway. The servers are very friendly and helped me decide upon the cinnamon shipwreck which was so good I ordered one every morning during my stay. In addition I had a breakfast sandwich which to my pleasant surprise was made fresh with actual scrambled egg instead of a previously frozen egg patty. It was ample which was appreciated considering the prices! Definitely more costly than some other local shops but worth it! The view and fresh roasted coffee doesn't disappoint! And yes, you can see the beans being ground on premises! Can't wait to be back in Norfolk for another iced cinnamon shipwreck!

Location is under renovation so it is located inside the Elevation Brewery next door. Some better…read moreonline presence/information about that renovations would have been appreciated. So i cannot comment on the normal ambiance. Coffee is subpar, the honey cinnamon latte only is served with a single shot of espresso (12 oz) and I feel 2 is typical for most other coffee shops. Cookie butter iced latte is fine, but nothing special to write to others about. Limited pastry/baked good selection so I didn't try any of them.

I'm in town visiting my family and was looking for pour over coffee. Found Fathom on Yelp and knew…read moreit was my kind of place. Nice location near the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Cool vibe, bit of a modern industrial roaster aesthetic. Staff were patient, professional, and provided good recommendations. I went with a Rwandan special pour over, one of my nephews got the hot chocolate, my daughter and another nephew each got iced caramel lattes. It was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed seats in their beautiful garden area. The Rwandan was served at optimal temperature and was complex and delicious! My daughter and nephews enjoyed their drinks as well. I will certainly return!

I recently visited Fathom, a cozy, charming coffee shop I discovered after leaving the Old Beach…read moreFarmers Market.  They are conveniently located off Baltic Ave and have  plenty of free street parking (No fear of getting towed)  The interior is small, with a limited waiting area, but the outdoor seating in the back is the true highlight. It has tables and umbrellas overlooking a beautiful flower and vegetable garden. I was especially impressed by how dog-friendly Fathom is; my dogs were welcomed inside just like any other guest, and there are even pictures of their furry guest on the walls near the entrance. Their prices are very affordable & reasonable, especially compared to other coffee shops in the oceanfront area. On my first visit, I ordered a hot caramel latte with almond milk and an iced white chocolate mocha latte, and both drinks together were just over $11. They were well-balanced and delicious. My Second visit I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks. I ordered a hot coconut drift latte with almond milk, my daughter a watermelon lemonade and a pup cup. I was really impressed with the service my dog received, as they made their pup cup from scratch! The drinks have consistently been high in quality and flavor on each visit. It's worth mentioning that they don't serve food, but they do offer some pre-packaged snacks for purchase. Fathom has officially become a part of my Saturday morning routine when I visit the farmer's market. I highly recommend giving Fathom a try if you're in the area; you definitely won't be disappointed!

While in the area looking for a coffee shop, I stumbled upon Three Ships Coffee Roasters. It's…read morelocated in such a hidden spot, I practically drove right past it. The parking was very limited so I parked across the street in a private, parking lot, since I knew I was coming right back out. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and the staff were very nice. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Brown Sugar Vanilla Latte and the Ham & Cheese Croissant. While I waited, I couldn't help but notice how nice the coffee shop was. They have a small seating area where I noticed a few people working while enjoying their coffee. My latte and croissant were very good. This spot seems like it's popular to the locals. I wish there were more parking options but if you're ever in the area and looking for great coffee, definitely check them out.

Um YES PLEASE!!!…read more This was a last minute decision to stop when we were on our way back from the farmers market and BOY am I glad we stopped in! Buckroe coffee was one of the best coffee shops I've been to in quite some time, too bad it's on the other side of the water from our house! Walking in you can tell it was once a bank, LOVE older buildings and stories like this! The atmosphere inside was amazing, there were all different types of customers enjoying conversation, working, and just enjoying time in their 3rd place. I ordered a blended mocha frappe. PERFECT on the hot day! My daughter ordered a lemon & white chocolate latte and it was one of the best she has had (and like her mother, she does love her coffee and is VERY picky) My husband went the non coffee route and ordered a Mango smoothie and found it refreshing and finished it in the car on the way home. If you are on the hampton side of the water I highly recommend you stopping at Buckroe coffee. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to head back up to the farmers market so I can stop here again on the way home :)

Decided to finally try out Buckroe Coffee after a long trail walk. What a pleasant surprise!…read moreI was welcomed upon entering and the cashier was extremely helpful with what to choose for my first visit. I substituted oat milk in my crème brûlée latte and it was a great substitution without changing the taste of the drink. Not too sweet. My breakfast sandwich was nice and flavorful. Croissant crispy and light, cheese nicely melted. I would have liked my bacon consistently crispy but it didn't take away from the quality or taste at all. Now the açaí bowl...wow! As soon as I lifted the lid, I could smell the fresh fruits. It was a great balance of fresh ingredients. This was my favorite item. Great value for the price and I can't speak enough on the freshness of the ingredients. 100% returning!!

I ordered the Iced, CHEST CANDY: White Chocolate and raspberry, and to say I was in love with it! I had to order another one after I left and walked around for 5 mins because I may have drank all of it before I got back to our car! My husband ordered the Blueberry Bang Tea and you can taste the lightness of the blueberry and tea, I'm not a big tea fan, but this one is pretty good! Husband loves it! Very smooth, light and delicious! We will definitely be back! P.S The muffins were also delicious! (They had chocolate ones out and they were sooo soft!)

They have plenty of seating for either a place to work (free WiFi) or catch up with some friends. They have different coffee blends (whole beans or they can grind for you) and associated merch for purchase. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I look forward to coming back.

I am going to San Francisco for a work conference and to visit friends afterwards. I had gotten…read moremost of my gifts at VA Goods in Selden Market, but I was looking for one last thing to wrap up my gift giving! I decided to take a trip to the retail location of Rich Port Coffee down the street from Selden Market. The retail location is located on the corner of the ground floor of the office building at the corner of West Main Street and Boush Street. It offers all the wonderful coffee drinks, cold bevs, baked goods and some merch like popcorn from Puerto Rico and hand painted coffee percolators. Rich Port Coffee started out as a wholesale roaster in Selden Market (where the roastery remains) and then they opened the retail location last year. - Parking - There is metered parking on the street and various parking garages nearby. Don't quote me on this, but there may be free parking spaces in front of Boush Street. - What I got - I was looking for a bag of their roasted coffee and at the time of my visit, there were 1lb bags of roasted whole bean coffee from El Salvador, Colombia, adn Puerto Rico. Since the owners are from PR (hence the name, Puerto Rico = Rich Port), I decided to get a bag of the PR beans, because that is not a country you see very often. They are in different colored bags and have cute little flag dots to identify the coffee. Since it was whole bean, and not everyone has a coffee grinder, Mia, the owner, offered to grind it for me. This was super nice and convenient, as they have a way better grinder than I do! The bag cost be about $20, but at the time of this writing, they are running a special, that if you buy a 1lb bag of coffee beans, you get a free 12oz drink. Since it was 88F today, I opted for an iced mocha and it was just the afternoon pick-me-up that I needed! Rich Port Coffee is a little hidden, but conveniently located at the corner by Todd Jurich Bistro and the Nauticus! Stop on by as they have awesome drinks, goodies from small local businesses like Smores Amore and others. Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!
