They have a great espresso and many good flavors, the dark chocolate being my favorite. This coffee shop can feel a little small but only during super peak busy hours. In general, it's the perfect size, being so comfortable that I find my girlfriend and I staying here for hours to either read, talk, do homework, play on our nintendo switches, etc. The staff here are also so nice to talk to, I find myself missing them whenever we leave. As for the food, I don't order food here too often so I haven't tried too much, but a super slept on pick is the pesto chicken sandwich. Holy amazing it's delicious. Price point for the coffee here is very reasonable with a plain latte being somewhere around $5, which is definitely better than many coffee chains.

Several people were sitting at a table area and there was no wait. I read all of the signage out front and did not see anything about not bringing pets. I had my small dog with me and had intentions of grabbing a coffee, cooling off a few minutes, and then moving on to our next destination. During the ordering process, the barista asked me was I planning on sitting outside. I understand that having a pet requires extra responsibilities. However, her tone made us feel unwelcome.

Unfortunately it was underwhelming. I took a picture of it and shared with my equally foodie daughter in Boston: she said something seems missing in the bowl but the egg looked perfectly cooked! And taste wise, there wasn't anything unique, I could have replicated it at home: crumbled sausage , add kimchi over rice and an over easy egg! I hate to sound critical but sometimes feedback hopefully taken positively can take Cafe Stella to even greater heights in my books!

I ordered from the summer menu and tried the Cinnamon Drift Latte (Housemade Horchata and Espresso) and it was sooo good. I only got a 16 oz and wished I got the 20! My daughter ordered a signature drink, the Botanist (Strawberry puree, milk, and matcha) with oatmilk and it was great. I want to go back and give that a try next. Lastly my husband ordered a cold brew with cold foam and enjoyed that as well. He also ordered the coffee cake and I wish I wasn't gluten free because it looked and smelled amazing. He enjoyed that while we sat outside for a bit. The service was quick, the staff was so friendly and patient, and the drinks were delish! We will definitely be back when we are in Norfolk!!

I'll be honest, at first, I didnt think that just because this place looked a little too pretty,…read morethey wouldnt produce really good coffee but I was wrong. The coffee was really good --it was fresh, smooth, and not bitter at all. I loved the aroma of their coffee. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. The interior also has some really nice artistic elements that add to the overall vibe. Its a really relaxed hangout spot for anyone. I love the windows and how the sun shined through. And of yeah, the orange couch. This is Definitely a spot I'd recommend What I Got: Almond Croissant: 4/5 Pistachio Croissant 5/5 Apple Turn Over 4/5 White Macadamia Nut Latte 5/5 Golden Hour Latte 4/5

When I saw my favorite Kouign Amann I was overjoyed because these are my absolute favorite laminated dough baked good and they are almost impossible to find in the States.

My husband, son and daughter in law each got a personal pizza and really liked them.

I especially love the ham and Gruyère croissant and even ordered them to be served for my birthday last year. The service is efficient and kind and the atmosphere is super chill. I love stopping here when I'm in the area and want a pick me up. My most recent visit I decided to take my friend here after we grabbed coffee at Fr8 house a few minutes away. We opted to get a whole pizza and went for the Brisket and Blue which had fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, smoked beef brisket, basil, pickled red onion, and green chili jam. The pizza was incredible. It had a great bite, slightly crispy, super savory with a touch of sweetness and the brisket was the savory star of the show. I added a bit of red pepper flake and it took it from a 9 to a 9.5 dare I say 10. I highly recommend checking this bakery out whether it's something as simple as a cookie or croissant or the whole pizza. There is something for everyone.

It's not easy when you live on the other side of Hampton Roads, but I'm glad to see them do really well over the years. Let's see how they've been. We were greeted by the staff after walking in and foot traffic was minimal. Music was playing througout the building and they were pretty busy with orders. A few people did come in but for the most part, they did takeout. We decided to sit and sip our chosen desserts. I chose their Strawberry Smoothie with strawberry popping boba at 70% sugar and Sophia chose her usual, coconut smoothie at 70% sugar with tapioca. Both of us enjoyed them very much. Not too sweet and full of flavor. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. Once again, a grand 'ol time on familiar grounds. You know for sure we'll be back the next time we come around :)

It is the best seasoned tuna I've ever had. The combo of ingredients is stellar. I dream about this pita! The service is always incredibly friendly especially from Brit and Brittany! The staff here really cares about hospitality. It does not go unnoticed! The music is generally chosen by who is working and I've never heard a bad playlist. It varies from old school hip hop to indie to jazz. The decor has changed over the years but is always quirky and unique. They continue to showcase local artists since the beginning, changing artists every month. Zeke's has become a staple in the Norfolk community and my life! I always eat my pita so fast I forget to take a pic, but here is a pic of the kale salad that was amazing and HIGHLY recommend the Blue Colada smoothie on a hot day! Enjoy!

It's incredibly spacious with high ceilings, tons of natural light, and lots of beautiful details everywhere you look. The front patio is perfect for people watching or just enjoying some fresh air, with lots of space between tables (no awkward eavesdropping here). Inside, the vibe is super chill. There were quite a few people working on laptops, but it didn't feel stuffy or too quiet ... just a comfortable, low-key buzz that makes you want to stay a while. I started off with an iced americano topped with strawberry cold foam. The foam itself was a little thicker than I expected (it was more "whipped cream" than "cold foam"), but honestly, it was delicious. I'd totally order it again. The flavor combination is chef's kiss. A little sweet, a little tangy, and it adds something fun to a classic drink. For food, I went all in on the Box Car Sandwich. If you love grilled cheese, you HAVE to try this. Oozy pepperjack and cheddar, crispy bacon, tomato, avocado, all sandwiched between slices of perfect sourdough. And the special sauce on the side? I could have eaten it with a spoon. I have no idea what's in it, but I want a bottle to take home. I can't wait to come back here and give their espresso martini a try, and their pepperoni swirl pastry looked 10/10.

The staff seem friendly enough and had different milk options which I appreciated. Would highly recommend this place.
