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

The most recent latte I got was a black sesame latte and it was perfection. A lot of places around try to hide their coffee & matcha quality with a crazy flavor combination, but Equinox is one of the few places where I'm going specifically for the smooth flavor of that espresso or tea. They occasionally have pop-ups at places like Commonwealth VA or Virginia MOCA for Night Shift and it's the best pick-me-up for community events. Great staple. Always ready for more of what they come up with!

As a Chesapeake native and long time Norfolk lover I'm not sure how I've never been here. Looking forward to this place being a short walk away this summer. It's super chill.

The store has a cool vibe with tons of merch and coffee gear if you're into brewing at home. Definitely a great spot to stock up. I tried the matcha, which was creamy and smooth -- not too sweet, just right. Then I tried the mocha espresso -- bold, punchy, and hit harder than my Monday morning alarm. Instant caffeine kick. I think I saw sounds. Bonus points for super quick service and a drive-thru, aka the holy grail for introverts and people in pajamas.

The music wasn't too loud at all. Very spacious. I just went for the coffee not the food.read more

've been wanting to try FR8 House for months, and I'm SO glad I finally made it in! This place is…read moreseriously gorgeous. 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.

We got there early and enjoyed their sandwiches for breakfast. I wish they just had a description of the sandwich rather than having to ask the cashier, but she was very helpful and thorough. Our sandwiches were really good and the aioli they came with was AMAZING! As a self proclaimed coffee snob, the coffee was really good too. My husband enjoyed his (very hot) coffee and I enjoyed my coconut mocha. Overall great experience and we can't wait to go back!

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.

It's tucked away on Fort Monroe - a little off the beaten path for me, but well with the visit. Google maps had me coming from the back side of the building but once you find your way around, there is ample parking and some outdoor seating for nice days. Like any converted firehouse the only windows are from the large roll-up doors. The inside is cozy with plenty of comfy seating. They offer free Wi-Fi and activities for little ones including lots of fire trucks to play with so this would be a nice spot for families. Already planning to bring my family in for a stop on the way to Williamsburg. Plenty of coffee and non-coffee options plus seasonal specials and tons of flavor choices, including sugar free. I opted for a sugar-free dark chocolate latte which was delicious - perfect level of sweetness and just the right temperature. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on naan bread. They have multiple cheese and other bread options. The egg was a little over seasoned but flavor was good. Compared to the major chains and other independent coffee shops, prices here are reasonable. Overall a great visit with welcoming and helpful staff. Looking forward to a trip back!
