Read the reviews for this place before we went and were quite excited to get this new coffee shop…read more Went in and ordered 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches. The coffee came out fast and it was very good. The ambiance of this place is excellent. Perfect for a quiet study session, reading, or date. The food on the other hand.... wasn't very good. The wait took almost 30 minutes. And felt premade and microwaved. Which in the restaurant business and coffee shops is sure is common. But when you charge the prices they do and take as long as they did to make. I cannot rate it any higher. Would not come back for food.

On this trip, which was late afternoon on a week day, I was craving a chai latte and stopped in to check it out. There was only one very pleasant young lady working and a pretty steady flow of customers so it did take a little longer than I'd hoped to be served but I enjoyed taking a look around the place while I waited. They have books, they have games, they have scheduled events (paint night for example) and they have a good variety of bakery items and hot sandwiches among other things. What a fun atmosphere! Oh and did I mention they also serve beer and wine! They have enough of a variety so there's sure to be something for everyone. You should definitly go and give it a try too.

I really enjoyed my drink. It was sweet but not too sweet. And the coffee was nice and not bitter. My fiancé got the tres leches and that was also very good. It was sweet and creamy. The coffee cake we got was just ok. It was kind of bland with hints of cinnamon. And it was a little dense. It was the only pastry that was there. I'm not sure if it was because we got there around 12, or if they just don't have other pastries regularly. It was also a lot more expensive than other coffee shops in the area. If we are back in the area we will definitely come back for the coffee and vibes. The inside is beautiful and a really chill place. It was clean inside and the couches were comfy. I also liked that the baristas knew the locals that came in. That welcoming feeling makes all the difference.

Whether it's boba tea, smoothies or coffee, they rarely disappoint. Let's see how things turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. Like many times, the decor was spotless and the vibe calm There were a few customers inside either dining in or ordering takeout. We knew what we wanted before entering so it took no time to order. I selected one of their Spring items, Brown Sugar Rose-Berry Freshmilk with brown sugar pearls, in honor of cherry blossoms for the State of Virginia. A very good drink indeed. Not too sweet and full of flavor. Some of the pearls did get stuck together (they were served hot after all), but it was no problem. Thank you once again Joyu for having us feel comfortable with much needed drinks. You'll see us again soon :)

Hands down one of the coolest coffee houses in Hampton Roads!…read more I would likely have never known this place existed without my coffee passport. It's tucked away on Fort Monroe - a little off the beaten path for me, but well with the visit. Google maps had me coming from the back side of the building but once you find your way around, there is ample parking and some outdoor seating for nice days. Like any converted firehouse the only windows are from the large roll-up doors. The inside is cozy with plenty of comfy seating. They offer free Wi-Fi and activities for little ones including lots of fire trucks to play with so this would be a nice spot for families. Already planning to bring my family in for a stop on the way to Williamsburg. Plenty of coffee and non-coffee options plus seasonal specials and tons of flavor choices, including sugar free. I opted for a sugar-free dark chocolate latte which was delicious - perfect level of sweetness and just the right temperature. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on naan bread. They have multiple cheese and other bread options. The egg was a little over seasoned but flavor was good. Compared to the major chains and other independent coffee shops, prices here are reasonable. Overall a great visit with welcoming and helpful staff. Looking forward to a trip back!

My first impression of this place was the atmosphere was small, but cozy. there was one nice gentleman there who gave me unique interactions, but he moved to a different shop... This place does have its peak times and busyness. but that's where it starts to fail... there are, at most, three or four employees. There have been multiple days where the line is empty, but none of the workers greet or acknowledge you. I had to walk out one time because this place is such a letdown, to where I hear "sorry about that!!" halfway out through the door... I was the only one in line!! :/ every time I come here, I order for myself but the cashier is constantly saying "anything else?" I started to use the mobile app to order ahead just so I don't have to encounter the rudeness of all of the unnatural color-haired employees. At the counter after getting my drink, I give the gesture to thank the baristas, to no response or acknowledgment. I had to stop doing that.. A little extra on top of this review that happened today was along with not being acknowledged, being the only one in line, there was one worker who had the greatest opportunity to do so, instead decided to wave past me, behind the shop's windows, and walk out of the store to say goodbye to a friend or whatever. I say again, this random person was not inside the shop! The worker RUSHED OUT OF THE DOORS to catch this different person's attention. This place really shows where their priorities are. i'm tired of having to resort to this place only because of it's closeness, there's no tax, and they make the drinks somewhat decent. The treatment from here really makes me not want to come back.

The meat is juicy and flavorful (I'd pay for their marinade recipe!) My sandwich paired perfectly with a cold beer. The restaurant is off of Armistead Ave, just before you reach Sparetimes in Hampton. The prices are seriously reasonable and I'm so scared that will change. Please go now.

I would see it on my timeline on social media for other locations and the drinks looked so yummy. Now I was able to try it first hand! First of all the line is ridiculous. I get it, it's new and people are excited for the new coffee shop on the block. But you know what's funny, there's a Starbucks in arms distance and no one was over there! Hahahaaa. Anyways, there is someone outside taking your order, similar to like what Chick Fil A does. So by the time you get to the front, they are handing out your drink. I ordered the Cookie Butter with oatmilk. OMGeee... so yum! Definitely a treat in a cup. Not too sweet, but I could had less sweet. Maybe like 1 less pump of the syrup, so I can get more of the coffee taste. But don't get me wrong, this drink was so satisfying. I also tried their mango lemonade and that was equally as YUM! So refreshing! 7B boasts how all their drinks are customizable and I'm telling you, they are including the lemonades. The only thing I didn't like is you can't find any of their nutritional information on the order board or even online. Maybe you won't feel too bad about the calories since it's not available... maybe! lol
