    Overall I was pretty pleased with our visit here. We visited in the morning during off season and it was not very crowded. It appeared as there was only one lady running it all. It took quite a while to check out as she was also the barista making coffees, taking order, and checking out.

    I had a rather interesting experience here. I was meeting a friend, and got there first. There was only one other customer there, but turns out he wasn't really a customer. It was a barefoot homeless man who stared at me the whole time, and then started harassing me. Once he approached me the bartender made him leave, but obviously the whole ordeal was uncomfortable. Once my friend came it was better, but we were the only customers the whole time. Service was fine, my sandwich was alright but lacked flavor and they didn't have any cocktail sauce.

    Great little breakfast cafe with a buffet in back, tons of seating, an outdoor patio for people watching, and a nice menu. We came after I ran a J&A race with some friends and neighbors for brunch and had friendly service, a large table, and some great people watching. It's much larger inside than it looks with a nice amount of tables and decent spacing in between. They have a small bar area with some pastries and have a nice coffee menu. We were a group of four adults and my toddler and we ordered: -Cheesy eggs (for toddler) -Meat Lovers Omelette -Lamb Gyro -Corned Beef Hash -Monte Cristo Each entree came with toast and home fries (think hash browns from Waffle House-ish) and servings were huge and generous. The menu also has Avocado Toast, Pancakes, Chicken and Waffles, etc. I enjoyed this spot and will absolutely bring friends and family back here when in town. I've walked past 1000x and never come inside. An easy win here and felt like a true local's gem - worth the visit.

    Meat Lovers Omelette and Corned Beef Hash & Eggs
    Shay H.

    We ordered the Meat Lovers Omelet, Corned Beef Hash with Eggs, the Cinnamon French Toast, and a pancake. Both main dishes were excellent--the omelet was hearty and flavorful, while the corned beef hash with eggs was cooked perfectly. The Cinnamon French Toast, made with freshly baked French bread, was a highlight-super soft, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The only disappointment was the pancake. The texture was unlike anything I've had before, and it had a hint of citrus that I didn't quite enjoy. Parking usually sucks down at the oceanfront for most places, but to our surprise, this restaurant has a small lot on the side of the building, and we were lucky enough to grab a space. The portion sizes are huge, so we definitely felt like we got our money's worth. There was plenty of seating and a nice vibe overall, though we did notice a slight unfavorable odor inside-not unbearable, but worth mentioning. Overall, the experience was wonderful. The service was friendly and efficient, we were seated and served very quickly. Despite the pancake, everything else was fantastic, and we would definitely dine here again.

    I came here for brunch and got the meat lover omelette ($15) it came out in about 20 minutes. I was surprised by the size of the omelette, it was gigantic probably about 4ish eggs used. There was also a lot of meat as well, which surprisingly was a bit overwhelming. The potatoes were crispy however I'm not sure if they were supposed to be seasoned or not. Adding salt and pepper afterwards and the potatoes were quite solid. Staff were very nice and checked up on us. Overall some fantastic value for the amount of food you get for the price and the taste is quite solid. I would definitely come back again! Food(50%): 7.0 Staff/service(25%): 8.5 Value(25%): 9.5 Overall: 8.0/10

    Avocado Toast
    Ricardo F.

    Was really excited due to the rating but ended up somehow disappointed. We went for a later breakfast and it was almost empty. The place looks really nice and service was ok. We ordered a breakfast combo (eggs, bacon, toast, etc), an avocado toast (these 2 were great), eggs Benedict (that said it would come with a biscuit and it didn't) and French toast (that also didn't come with any kind of sugar or syrup or anything - even though we requested it - it was just bland and just a piece of bread basically). Our mochas were good but tasted more like chocolate milk than coffee really. Overall we had half of it good and right while the other half was "messy". Also not cheap at all, it cost us almost like a lunch out. It was ok but won't come back

    The delicious "adult latte" Andy crafted for me. Think a warm espresso martini. Soooo yummy! Perfect for a rainy day!
    Sabra R.

    So good, we went back the following day! We wanted to share pics this time. Yet again, the food, service, overall hospitality, and music were excellent! I wanted an espresso martini but also wanted something warm on this rainy day. Andy created a delicious "adult latte" that was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again, Carrie and Andy! We love this place! See you next summer, if not sooner!

    We dropped our grandson off at work and decided to look for a place to sit , chat and a bite to eat. I have a list of restaurants that I would love to visit. We came across Cafe Atlantic and decided to give it a try. The decor is very relaxing and beautiful , the service was great and the lady taking our order was very nice and communicated very well with us throughout our visit. Over all I must say it was 10/10. The food was excellent and we will definitely be back

    There are very rare times when you go to a place for a reason then leave with an entirely surprising and lasting experience. Cafe Atlantic is a true rare gem. I was door dashing, the app wasn't cooperating and there weren't lots of offers. I had always wanted to try Cafe Atlantic and I happened to be in the area with only 30 minutes until closing time. There is a cozy, simple yet modern vibe. The bar was inviting so I picked a seat. There were pastries in cloches on the bar table. Andy (whom I later found out is the owner) was welcoming and warm and personable. He didn't make me feel rushed even when he calmly explained the breakfast buffet closes at 1pm but I can most certainly order from the menu. I ordered the avocado toast with choice of how I wanted my egg cooked - sunny side up. The avocado toast came out seemingly fresh, the egg perfectly cooked to my liking. I unfortunately got a door dashing order so only had time to eat the egg and was given a box for my toasts, which I thoroughly enjoyed on the road, with everything but the bagel seasoning providing the toasts with just the right amount of saltiness and texture. The unexpected part came when Andy was kind to offer iced water (with twist of lemon) for me to take with me while I door dashed. Not only did this brain child of a restaurant manifest in its ambiance and food, but its spirit was in the care that Andy takes to make sure his customers were taken care of - now that's more than just an establishment, it was a sense of community beyond what is served! Cafe Atlantic is definitely infinitely a place I recommend for everyone to try. What you won't see are the far more stars than the 5 stars I can rate with this review. Thanks Andy, for the conversation, the water to go and the wonderful feeling beyond the delightful avocado toasts!

    Caramel Latte with Cold Foam

    Best latte in Virginia beach!!! Espresso is so delicious that we went back every morning of our 10 day work trip. Staff is friendly and accommodating to requests. Food is great too!

    Great fun little brunch spot. Stumbled in here right after attending the Virginia Beach farmers…read moremarket on a Saturday. Loved sitting in their back patio on a warm spring day. It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'd encourage them to be more targeted when describing some recommendations on the menu, she simply listed about the entire menu she asked "what are some of your favorites". Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots. I was simply visiting from out of state so I won't return, but I'd encourage you to! They are also included on Resy so be sure to book there or use a Resy credit if you have it!

    The pink dinghy was great! Service was very friendly and quick to get us seats for Sunday brunch…read more They were accommodating for finding a spot to put our baby in his carrier too. Food came out very quick and they easily added things to my order. The biscuits and gravy were delicious! Personally I definitely recommend adding an extra egg, jalapeños and cheese. The pancakes were solid too, albeit a bit pricy. The restaurant had great vibes and intentional design. Indoor does have limited seated but there is plenty of outdoor in the front and back. Well worth a visit!

    Stopped into Java Surf Cafe & Espresso Bar on a Saturday morning and ordered the Mediterranean…read moreBreakfast Sandwich on a bagel. The cafe was busy, but not overwhelmingly so. The line moved quickly, and while the food took a little longer to come out, it was clearly made fresh and was flavorful and worth the wait. One thing I appreciated was how dog-friendly the atmosphere is, with dogs welcome both inside and outside. The seating is very much community-style, with shared tables and a family/neighborhood feel. We didn't mind it, but if you prefer more personal space or private seating, the close quarters may not be for you. Breakfast sandwiches were reasonably priced, generally in the $13-$15 range. My only real complaint came when I watched the top of my sandwich fall off while a crew member was moving plates around. The employee picked it up and placed it back on the sandwich with their hand after touching several other items behind the counter. It wasn't enough to ruin the experience, but it did bother me and left an impression. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty, the atmosphere was lively without being too loud, and the dog-friendly environment was a nice bonus.

    We have been here a ton - this weekend they were absolutely slammed but handled it like bosses…read more Breakfast burritos and coffees as good as ever. Happy to see them busy! Sand soccer and the farmers' market had them packed.

    The stockpot is a cozy restaurant in the Virginia Beach Vibe district…read more I stopped in to check out their menu and enjoy a cup of coffee. The staff is all extremely friendly and made several suggestions. I didn't have time to enjoy a meal but they have a variety of healthy choices to chose from and rotating drafts! Stockpot has a small area to sit outside and a large bar that gives you direct views into the kitchen. I really enjoyed their vibe here and want to return for their food.

    I'm not usually one to leave negative reviews because I know how tough the restaurant industry can…read morebe. Im also usually a huge fan of Stockpot, as I frequent the one in Norfolk. I'm a chef myself and travel to different restaurants regularly, so I try to be understanding. That said, the service we experienced yesterday at Stock Pot was unfortunately some of the worst I've had in quite a while. We sat outside, and it honestly felt like we were being deliberately ignored. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet we had to wait long stretches just to get basic things. At one point near the end of our meal, we asked for a box and our check. Instead of bringing it over, the waitresses stood around talking with other waitresses, while we continued to wait. After sitting there for quite a while, we eventually had to ask for the check and box, a second time. Throughout the meal the service was inconsistent. We had three different waitresses checking on us, but were left to sit for about 30 minutes alone at one point, and it took almost 20 to have our order taken, once we ordered, we had to request our appetizer again, after waiting another 20 or so minutes. Upon asking, again, we found out they were out of part of the appetizer we ordered. After that it came out quick. The food, however, was excellent and definitely the highlight of the experience. That's why this review is disappointing to write -- the kitchen is clearly doing a great job. I just hope the service side improves, because it didn't match the quality of the food.
