    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!

    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!

    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!

Well worth a visit!

There is free parking in the back of the restaurant and should this be full there is street and a paid parking lot across the street.

Nothing too unique about what we had but - bacon and eggs- but fresh, and cooked perfectly to order. The restaurant will accommodate custom food requests to the extent possible.

Appetizer: Try the biscuits with the sweet potato spread! Total quantity of 2. Dinner: Ended up with the catfish / whiting. Most comfort food probably has a lot of salt attached to it and not an everyday cuisine. Nevertheless, it was still good! The service was good as well. No complaints or attitudes from the server. It wasn't as busy as previous people reported which was nice. Enjoyed the art on the wall with the music vibe. Would repeat again with the other new restaurants located near the oceanfront.

Service was fast, friendly, and very attentive to our table throughout the visit. I ordered the chicken and biscoff waffles and listen... that biscoff cookie butter infused waffle was AMAZING!! Sweet, flavorful, and honestly the star of the plate. I would absolutely order the waffle again. The chicken drumettes, however, were a little bland and lacked seasoning for me personally. Once I added hot sauce, honey, salt, and pepper, it brought the chicken to life and tasted much better. My daughter ordered the smothered chicken and biscuits, butter biscuits topped with cheesy eggs, fried chicken, and cajun cream sauce. The picture below may not look the most appetizing, but don't let that fool you because this dish was packed with flavor! The only downside was the eggs were a bit overcooked. My daughter is picky about eggs, so next time she said she'll ask for them lightly scrambled or over medium. Now let's talk about the drinks lol. I love a good hot cup of coffee and they did NOT miss with the coffee. Smooth, hot, and flavorful. My daughter also said the sweet tea was really good. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially for that Biscoff waffle alone!

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.

    HISTORY ON AN ONION ROLL | THE EYE OPENER CONTINUES TO TEMPT TASTEBUDS, DECADES LATER…read more By Patrick Evans-Hylton For decades, the Belvedere Hotel was more than a place to stay. It was a familiar presence along the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, a backdrop for everyday rituals and seaside routines. Tucked inside was the Belvedere Coffee Shop & Diner, a true neighborhood constant since opening in 1969. It was where mornings began with hot coffee and friendly nods, where breakfast and lunch meant dependable comfort, and where the pace of the beach slowed just enough to savor it. When the Belvedere was torn down, it felt like losing a quietly important piece of the Oceanfront's collective memory. That sense of memory carries forward at Belvedere South inside the tony Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel. The new space honors the past without freezing it in time. Bright blue walls set against crisp white instantly recall the diner's cheerful spirit. Large windows allow light to flood the space. Cushy banquettes are a comfortable welcome, inviting you to settle in and linger. The menu stays true to its roots with classic breakfast and lunch dishes that feel familiar and reassuring. Anchoring it all is the legendary Eye Opener sandwich, returned to its rightful place as both signature and symbol. In this new setting, the Belvedere legacy lives on, refreshed but recognizable, a reminder that some traditions deserve to be carried forward with care and confidence. The Eye Opener remains the heart of the menu, and one bite explains its legend. A perfectly fried egg anchors the sandwich, its yolk just rich enough to soften the layers beneath. From a choice of bacon, sausage, or ham, we chose the latter; each brings its own salty, savory character. Melted cheese binds everything together, draping the egg and meat in comfort. All of it is tucked into a lightly toasted onion roll that adds a gentle sweetness and just enough bite to stand up to the fillings. Chef Ray Ray Labuen, who wore the tall toque at the former Belvedere, is closely tied to the Eye Opener its careful steward. Then there are the tomatoes, the detail that elevates the whole affair. Thick slices are grilled, seasoned lightly, and finished with a generous snowfall of parmesan cheese. As they cook, the tomatoes soften and turn luscious while the cheese melts and lightly browns, creating a savory crust that clings to the fruit. They are warm, juicy, and deeply flavorful, adding richness and balance to the sandwich. It is indulgent without being heavy, familiar yet special, and exactly the kind of dish that earns its name at the Oceanfront. We also enjoyed rich, creamy grits and a damn fine cup of coffee. Service was exceptional. - I've been covering the cuisine scene in Coastal Virginia and beyond for 30-plus years, and have dined out at thousands and thousands times. I base my scores on the SAVORY system, which attributes values to six distinct attributes: Service, Ambiance, Value, Offerings, Repeatability, and Sensory Experience. That translates to 1 star = 59 or below ; 2 stars = 60 - 69 ; 3 stars = 70-79 ; 4 stars = 80-89 ; and 5 stars = 90 or above. Based on that, this restaurant receives my 5 star rating. This is based on a visit on Jan. 7, 2026 - I'm a Johnson & Wales-trained chef reporting on food and foodways in print (magazines, The Virginian-Pilot), television (morning shows, Food Network, WTKR TV-3), radio (PBS, AM 790 WNIS), and more.
