Breakfast Burrito w/ Sausage and a side of fruit
Jordan B.

Had a pretty solid breakfast here. We came in with a larger party of six on a Saturday, and it was pretty packed. It's small inside, so be prepared for a wait unless you get lucky like we did. We were able to snag a table outside right when another party was leaving. They have a quaint little menu with typical breakfast items and lunch fare. I ordered the breakfast burrito and added sausage to it. It was pretty good, and the salsa added a little kick to it. This with some fruit and a glass of oj made for a very solid breakfast. Be patient with the servers, and keep in mind that a little bit of kindness goes a long way since it does get packed here. Every time our server came to the table, she was really nice and apologetic about the wait. I'd definitely come here again and try something else on the menu.

Bagels and Lox
Angela W.

This was an amazing place to eat brunch, when we were on a weekend getaway for our anniversary! The breakfast was delicious, an everything bagel, toasted, with cream cheese, smoked salmon, fresh garden tomatoes, red onion and capers. Served with fruit. I enjoyed this meal a lot. The service was great and I love the location! Highly recommend!

The cafe instills the small town vibe from the atmosphere to the food and service. The people inside are so personable and kind. The food was delicious and came quick!

Chicken salad sandwich
Dena B.

Had lunch at the charming restaurant in the heart of Cape Charles. Great service and possibly the best chicken salad sandwich I've ever eaten! Shout out to our waitress Amy!

Double Espresso

We were on our way home from OBX and we were looking for a breakfast spot and found Cape Charles Coffee House! I don't know where they get their coffee, but their espresso was FANTASTIC!!! I'm still thinking about it. I had their Brioche French toast. Oh my!!! It was the BEST french toast EVER. My granddaughter had a BLT, which she loved. My wife had the two egg platter. The restaurant was packed, So the food took longer than I like, but everything was wonderful! The ambiance was old western saloon style. French Toast

Good food and coffee! The service was slow but there were not too many servers which is understandable. Overall the people were friendly

Fruit parfait with vanilla yogurt

Came down to Cape Charles for a wedding and looked around the area. 2 male waiters took our order and their service was excellent! It was really busy as expected since we went on a Sunday morning. Ordered a Chai Oatmilk drink and it was delicious!

Took 20 minutes to get a menu, 20 more minutes to take our order. Thirty minutes later, order had not arrived; we left never no return.

There is an opening just outside with some picnic tables. Parking is located on the street. But, you can totally walk there if you wanted, since Cape Charles Main Street area is small and manageable. Service was great. The two younger girls helping me choose items were fantastic. They seemed to care and help They have delicious shortbread offered in various flavors. I have never had coffee flavor before, and that is unique. They also had chocolate chip, cranberry orange, lemon, and original. Those are the flavors I remember. I purchased a peanut butter cookie and that was so good! It had a nice soft center with a slight crispy outer edge. The peanut butter flavor was strong but not over powering. I will definitely be purchasing more flavors in the future. Pair it with a delicious coffee or tea and your set. They offer other baked items and offer a few sandwiches. I have never eaten them, but I have seen them. They look appetizing, and they are jam packed with ingredients. Their hours will fluctuate during different seasons, so be sure to check into their hours before visiting.

This is not a place you would walk in off the beach to. The owner has her hands in everything from creating the weekly menu to waiting tables herself. She is a lovely woman, very direct but also very excited to share her process and her culture. The plates are small, but pack a punch. My husband and I shared a starter, two first course dishes, a single second course dish, and two desserts. We were satisfied, but certainly could have ate more because the food was amazing! My favorite was the burrata appetizer. The combination of flavors in this was unreal. Balsamic with some sort of pesto tasting tomato sauce and local sun dried tomatoes? I don't even know but I'll remember it forever. The creamy risotto we ordered combined flavors of leeks, fennel, and an amazing sausage that was hidden in there somewhere. My husband commented that the scallops we had in our second course were the best of his life, absolutely perfectly seared and the owner kindly told us how she did them. The arugula was huge and definitely local as I've never seen arugula like this in the grocery store. It was topped with a blueberry vinaigrette the owner made that was out of this world. The food brought us back to our time in Italy and we spent dinner talking about that trip. It really brought us back! Don't miss this charming little place while you're in town if you can swing it.

While walking along Mason Avenue, I made reservations at The Shanty, and it turned out to be a great choice. The restaurant is just a short stroll from the main shopping area, down by the docks. You can park for free along Mason Avenue or drive directly to The Shanty, which has its own parking lot. One of the highlights was enjoying fresh seafood on the open-air porch with beautiful waterfront views. The atmosphere was relaxed, charming, and perfectly summery. They also had plenty of options for the kids, including mac and cheese and chicken fingers, so everyone was happy. I ordered the fish tacos, while my mom enjoyed the seafood chowder and a wedge salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for after a day exploring Cape Charles. If you're visiting the area and looking for a casual waterfront meal with great seafood, a family-friendly menu, and a fun coastal vibe, The Shanty is definitely worth a visit.

The Shanty is not a large restaurant, but it has an amazing bar and great views from their deck on the bay. The service was great and our server created a "no rush" just sit back and relax vibe, even though they were busy. The drink menu has a nice selection of cocktails. My wife, an orange crush connoisseur, said the Shanty's crush was very good! They also have a nice beer selection including local area craft beers. The Frogman Lager on the menu has been one of my favorites when I visit VA, so it was nice to see on the menu. We started off with a 1/2 dozen local oyster, which were nice and sweet. The crab dip was amazing and full of crab! We split the shrimp Po-boy. The sandwich was loaded with plump tasty shrimp on an amazing roll. Typically, in beach towns the shrimp Po-boys are skimpy on the shrimp, but not at the Shanty. Overall, a great visit and a place we'd return.
