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!

I personally got a shaken espresso with oat milk and 1 pump of caramel which was the perfect sweetness level for me. Service: 5/5 the cashier knew her stuff and was happy to make recommendations. She and the barista were very kind and quick to serve our coffee. Ambiance: small interior with more indoor space that appears to be for events, as well as outdoor seating with a small garden in the back. There's also a huge polaroid collection of dogs (and a cat) on the wall for people that have visited with their pets. So cute!

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!

Everything we've ordered has been fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The beignets are always warm and perfectly made, and their coffee and specialty drinks are just as good. What really makes this place stand out is the customer service. Every employee we've interacted with has been welcoming, friendly, and genuinely kind. They make you feel appreciated from the moment you walk in. Valentine one of the employees even remembers our drink orders.

Beautifully decorated seating area and extremely clean. Got drinks elsewhere. Thank you.

It's extremely Instagram worthy. I love the cowgirl theme which is carried out throughout the drinks, decor, and merch. Cups and straws are cute, it's all cute. I have wanted to try this spot for some time now and have been following them from the very beginning on Instagram but was waiting for the lines and hype to drop so I didn't have to wait a half an hour to an hour for an iced coffee. I stopped in for lunch a few weeks back but, they stop serving food at noon I was told. Bummer. They have some yummy pastries in the case and I saw several I wanted to try - I got my husband a brownie and it was sooooo moist and delicious. We tried an iced oat milk latte and an iced refresher. Both were very good - price for brownie and two drinks was over $20. They are extremely active on social media and posting holiday specials, monthly flavors, pop-ups in the shop and fun giveaways so make sure to follow them. Wonderful addition to this shopping center. Can't wait to come back and try lunch here sometime.

I enjoyed sitting outside reading a book watching the line averaging 10 people deep for most of the hour I was there. So patience advised prior to coming. Ample parking in the shopping center lot. If you want some eats plan accordingly as the kitchen closes at noon. There are plenty of specialty drinks to choose from here. I went with a high noon chai and was decent. I love seeing local businesses grow and this one has a large crowd draw for a small space so plan accordingly.

We both ordered the Bacon, Egg and Cheese on Croissant. First off, the drinks. The Blueberry Muffin Latte delivered exactly what it promised. It was creamy espresso with a hint of blueberry and a subtle muffin like sweetness. It wasn't overly sugary, and the blueberry didn't taste artificial. She aid it felt like a comforting hug in a mug. The Coconut Cream Cold Brew was fantastic. The cold brew had a nice boldness but wasn't bitter, and the coconut flavor was smooth and not overpowering. The cream added just the right amount of richness, making every sip refreshing and indulgent. If you like cold coffee drinks, this one's worth a try! Both of us ordered the Bacon, Egg and Cheese on Croissant, which came out perfect! I had my egg over medium, hers was overy easy. The croissant was perfectly buttery and crispy, and the bacon was thick-cut and flavorful. The eggs were fluffy, and the cheese melted just right. It was hearty enough for breakfast or brunch and paired so well with our drinks. They have a case filled with delicious looking pastries, which I must try next time. Service was friendly and quick, and the café itself had a relaxed vibe that made us want to linger. The vibe of it kind of reminded me of the rainforest cafe haha! We'll definitely be back.

I've been wanting to try Khoalitea for a while since it's right in my neighborhood so I was very excited to see what drinks they offered. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and couldn't help but notice the super cute tables and decor. They even had a small pool table in the back lol. Since there wasn't anyone there, we had time to scan the menu. We both decided on Organic Lemonade drinks, I chose mine with Passion Fruit & Strawberry Bursting Boba. They also offer matchas, Vietnamese coffees, fruit teas, coconut waters and slushies along with Vietnamese sandwiches and snacks. It took no time for our drinks to be made and we both enjoyed them but they were a tad bit sweet for our liking, I'm sure it was due to the added flavored syrup. They've only been open a year but I can see this place being pretty busy this Summer. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other drink options. Definitely stop in if you're in the area!

Parlor Donuts quickly became one of my favorite donut shops. After my first visit, I was hooked--I…read moreended up going back three times in the same week because I couldn't stop thinking about the donuts. I honestly haven't met a donut there that I didn't like. They're light, flaky, and packed with flavor, with plenty of unique options to choose from. Every one I've tried has been fresh and absolutely delicious. The coffee, however, just isn't my favorite. It's not bad, but it doesn't quite measure up to how incredible the donuts are. If you're debating whether it's worth stopping by, the answer is absolutely yes. Even if you skip the coffee, the donuts alone are worth the trip, and I'll definitely keep coming back whenever I'm in the area.

I finally made a trip to Parlor Doughnuts, and it absolutely was worth the visit. From the moment I…read morewalked in, the smell alone was enough to convince me I was in for something great. The menu had a ton of unique options, but I ended up going with their seasonal blueberry cheesecake doughnut vs the lemon bar doughnut. This is also the first place I've seen savory doughnuts, I will be trying that next time for sure. This doughnut was honestly next-level. It had that perfect balance of sweetness without being overwhelming, and the blueberry flavor tasted fresh rather than artificial. The cheesecake element added a creamy richness that made every bite feel indulgent, without being too heavy. You could tell a lot of thought went into the flavor combination, and it paid off. I wish I had a bit more of that cheeesecake taste, but it was truly soft and tasted delicous. To drink, I ordered an iced matcha with honey. I thought it paired really well with the sweetness of the doughnut. The matcha itself had a nice, smooth flavor--not too bitter--and the honey added just enough sweetness to round it out. It wasn't the best matcha I've ever had, but it was pretty good. The only slight downside was the seating situation. It felt a little cramped, especially during a busier time, but there were still a decent number of seats available. It wasn't uncomfortable--just a bit tight depending on where you sat. Overall, I'd definitely go back. The customer service was great and the girl at the counter was lBetween the creative flavors and quality of what I tried, it's easy to see why this spot is so popular and busy during a weekday afternoon.

If you're looking for a more traditional berry smoothie, the Post Workout is a must-try. In my opinion, the pricing matches the quality and it's definitely worth it. The shop was super cute and they had a little shop in the front section. Quick counter service. Some seating inside and a small private parking lot! So glad we finally tried out The Green Cat and I can't wait to go back to try some other menu items soon!
