    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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

    pancakes and fruit were awesome

    Food was great as well as ambience. Service was slow, but waiters working very hard. Appeared to be short staffed. But would def return.

    Serving coffee and breakfast. Check the store inside coz it will bring u back to the old age. Nice architecture. The awning of the shop was taken off so you might missed it. It has window display like a store but it's a coffee shop. Call to check for hours.

    This is a really cool coffee spot. Located in downtown Cape Charles, this two story coffee house is in the bones of a former bank or other historic building. The charm pours out of every corner here with its sweeping ceiling, brass fixtures and vintage vibe. This coffee house also has a small breakfast menu that is delightful. We were in Cape Charles during the tourist off-season for a wedding and we had plenty of safe space away from other diners. I loved the mimosa and the French toast! If we had more free time, I probably would have come here again. I can't say it enough how much I loved the charming and welcoming atmosphere. Another patron (not hired by the coffee house) was strumming 90s alternative on a guitar while friendly baristas served up coffee. It felt good to give this beautiful spot our business! Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

    No ac. Poor service, and in general cluttered and dirty. The people where nice but distracted and only one person in the back cooking.

    The Elephant & Octopus - Mussels were SO good. You'll want more bread to have more sauce.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Elephant & Octopus during a day trip to Cape Charles,…read moreand what a cute find! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was inviting! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a whimsical, nautical meets industrial interior. Think exposed brick, quirky elephant and octopus artwork, and cozy seating that feels both inviting and upscale. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your meal and soak in the unique ambiance. As for the food, it did not disappoint. I started with the Ale & Onion Soup, and wow. This was comfort in a bowl! The robust flavor of Guinness melded perfectly with the caramelized onions, and the bubbling gruyère on the toasted bread points just took it over the top. It was savory, rich, and perfect for the chilly day. My friend went for the She Crab Soup, and couldn't stop raving about it. Creamy and absolutely packed with local crab meat. The puffed oyster crackers and a sprinkle of Old Bay were the ultimate finishing touch. I managed to sneak a bite, and it was heavenly! We also asked the bartender for a fun cocktail, and they whipped up a bright, lemony drink that was as refreshing as it was beautiful. It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, served with a citrus twist. Service was great. Friendly, attentive without hovering, and happy to make recommendations. If you're in Cape Charles and looking for a spot that nails both food and atmosphere, you can't go wrong here. Already planning my next visit!
