Food: sweet potato gnocchi bowl with turnips caused me to swipe my bowl clean; it was good. Pancakes for my companion were on the small side and not very fluffy but bacon was crispy and generously given. In house komboucha was refreshing, $6. Brunch for 2 ppl: komboucha, yaupon tea ($3) 2 entrees =$45 Pros: farm to table concept is executed with a fresh perspective and eclectic perspective, delicious offerings and friendly service, convenient location with on-site parking Cons: it took an hour for us to get our food after ordering and an additional 15+ to get the check; the annoying door to outside seating SLAMS constantly adding to the bustling atmosphere and cramped quarters I would likely try some other places before I would go back. read more

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff! I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was delicious. Very crispy and tasty! Their Haitian coffee was good and even better with the burnt honey. I wished I remembered our server's name but she was amazing and very attentive. The only things I didn't like about it was the place didn't have air conditioning and the parking lot is very small so you may have to park on the side of the roads. Fair pricing for their location of being close to the oceanfront. read more

Tasty food but the wait-time is pretty long. Very polite servers and friendly environment. If you have 4-6 people, it's a great place but if you have bigger party then wouldn't recommend this. read more

My first experience at Commune was delightful! Their coffee with lavender syrup is perfection. Everything is fresh and delicious. Second visit was even better! The fried rice dish is full of surprises, crunches, and savory/tangy goodness. read more

Wasn't a huge fan. Food lacked flavor..I couldn't even force myself to like the biscuits. The apple butter jam didn't even taste sweet

Step in for a cozy, eclectic, and unique food right in the center of Virginia Beach. This restaurant is exactly the kind of new wave that's been hitting many spots around VA Beach. The decor is rustic yet modern, and the food is unique and local. You're not in just any beach town, you're in VA Beach! I personally went for the season special of the lamb with creamy gnocci, topped with poached egg. Thinking that I'd be receiving a tri-colored plate... I was proven wrong. It was a fresh, multicolored, and multilayered plate of deliciousness, with homage to all the local ingredients. The lamb? Surprisingly not gamey at all. That poached egg? The perfect brunch combo. The gnocci? Oh so tender, and the perfect base for all that fresh herbs and vegetables that topped my dish. To wash it all down? I got one of the fresh sodas, and it was refreshing and just semi-sweet. We ended our meal with a plate of the waffle topped with corn ice cream. Perhaps it's a personal preference, but I wasn't a fan of this dessert. My husband, however, loved it. Loved every single bite! I guess I'm just not a fan of the salty-sweet-tangy mix that this dessert had, but it's definitely a personal preference. I'd say it still a must try considering how much my husband loves it. Absolutely returning next time we're in town, highly recommend ;) read more

A cute little farm-to-table breakfast/brunch concept in Virginia Beach, which is overall sorely lacking in quality places to eat. I had the Oyster succotash and he got a new addition to the menu, roasted potato waffles. Both were delicious (his was better though!). They also have interesting mimosa options like watermelon and canteloupe sorbet (no bloody mary on the menu, though). Would definitely return if I'm in the area and I recommend it - it's worth getting a little bit away from the oceanfront. read more

Ever had generic gourmet food? I paid 4 dollars for a tea bag and a cup of hot water. They try to create this great ambiance across the street from a car wash. Pretentious at best. read more

So glad I found this place through Yelp! I love how all of their ingredients are locally sourced, I'm pretty sure they have a large garden by the parking lot. My friend and I ordered a burnt honey cappucino and a lavender latte, and it was so good! The flavor was very light and it combined well with the coffee. We then had zucchini fritters which were so good with the mayo sauce that it came with combined with the mustard seeds. I only had a problem with the burnt edges, it was good at first until it became a bit overwhelming. My friend is vegetarian and she was happy that she had a good amount of items to choose from, she really enjoyed the Shrimp Roll that she ordered. I ordered a burger and it tasted so good with their homemade ketchup! Our waitress was really kind and informative, all the staff were very friendly too! I would definitely stop by again to see what new dish they have for the month/season since they have new dishes based on whats locally available! The prices are fairly priced and very affordable, would definitely stop by for brunch again. read more

We were seated right away but waited for at least an hour for our food. After we got our drinks, no one ever came back to see if we needed a refill. We had to ask where our food was after 45 minutes. We were told it would be out in 2-3 minutes. Fifteen minutes later, I had to ask again and was told it is a made from scratch kitchen and only two people were in the kitchen. The food was mediocre and definitely not worth an hour weight. I got the eggs benedict and the biscuit was kind of bland. My niece did like the chicken and waffles; however, I definitely would not recommend unless you love waiting an eternity for food. read more

So my college daughter suggested this place..... We get there and my husband and I made so much fun of the menu. Cornmeal waffles, chamomile butter, heritage sausage milk gravy???? So we ordered as best as we could- She got the last laugh! DELICIOUS! I had the waffles with the hickory syrup and sausage-incredible. The hot tea was good, service was awesome. You've got to try it to believe it. read more

Cornmeal waffles for sure! Easily the best breakfast meal I've ever had. The coffee is on point as well.

Amazing food and service. Very excited to find a restaurant with healthy and delicious food, in an area we love but would only know of fast or greasy food options. We loved it and can't wait to go back with family and friends. read more

Came here first time for vacation with my hubby. Found out this from Yelp. Yeah!!!! Not disappointed at all. Nice people, best brunch. Everything was fresh and yummy. The interior was wooden and natural theme and bright and cozy. But there were only two waitresses and busy. If you not patient, you could be upset. If not, it is not wasting your time. ^^ read more

I've been going to Commune since they opened up a few years ago. It's a cozy local spot with some really awesome fresh food. It's a very farmhouse twist on some classics which is why I like it. They have some great pastry's and fun mimosas if you're willing to spend a little extra coin. read more

Went back for a second time. This time the food was even better. I got a hot lavender latte and my husband got the Ginn fizz mimosa, also delicious. We shared the pimento and pickle board to start-the flavors were divine and taking a sip of the lavender latter alongside this board was outstanding! For entrees my husband got the skillet bowl with sausage and I got the classic breakfast sandwich. I would have been happy with just that pimento and pickle board. read more

Great food and service! Will definitely go back. Highly recommend anything with the brisket and the cheese grits!

Great atmosphere. Great fresh food. Great service. No complaints at all! Had the chicken and waffles and the blackberry ginger tea. Ate as much as I could lol! The serving size was more than enough.

The tastes will fill your senses! The blackberry, beet salad was made sensational by the addition of basil, lavender blooms and an avocado dressing! The potato bowl had just the perfect cheese and herb addition to being perfectly prepared. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would have given 5 stars until our server brought our paper take out container to the table and then proceeded to place the dirty clipboard with our right into the open container. We will return and eat it all at one sitting! read more

Love love that lavender latte I go just for that. However they have amazing fresh farm to table breakfast. They also have great veggie options. It's all fresh hot and quality. They also have fresh banked good daily the croissant I had was warm and flaky goodness. Check them out! read more

Commune is a great bakery and restaurant. The treats are delicious, I loved the peach croissant! The food was fantastic as well, especially the pancakes!! The side of bacon was a generous helping, which is not typical for restaurants and was a very welcome surprise. I would definitely return, and I fear I will be craving a burnt honey latte until the day I do! read more

We were looking for a great brunch place and Commune gave us so much more! Farm to table fresh and unique flavors were evident throughout. The thought of the Stone ground cornmeal waffles with sausage and a fried Sunnyside up egg is still making my mouth water. By far the best waffles I have ever eaten. We also tried the local cider (delicious) and the strawberry mimosas (beautiful). This is a hidden gem of uniqueness and culinary mastery in a land of cookie cutter options designed for tourists. The décor is wood filled, laid back, relaxed vibe. There is a bar, harvest table and individual seating options. If we're ever back in VA Beach we will be going out of our way to come back! read more

Excellent service today. Quality food and friendly customer service. Vegan friendly !! All our food was filled with flavor n deliciousness. Our tummies are full and satisfied. Nighty-nite time now. Thank u!! read more

4 stars for proper cooking of eggs and awesome fresh fruit. Service was not great and the local angle means they lack certain important condiments at times (like ketchup and mustard). Is the coffee local? I don't think so. (Also wasn't that good). A little too serious with that whole thing. But sunny side up eggs were perfectly cooked and peaches were amazing so 4 stars is fair. read more

Cute trendy place with amazing coffee and food. Service was great, I was actually the first one to arrive (8am), they greeted me with a warm welcome. I sat outside and immediately they brought iced water and a menu. I ended up ordering an Americano which was strong :) just perfect! For breakfast I ordered the Farm Breakfast: egg whites on top of greens with balsamic vinegrette and toast & the stack (2) of pancakes. AMAZING and DELICIOUS. I highly recommend this place. read more

I was super excited to try this brunch spot after seeing how good the pictures of the food looked. I originally wanted to steak and eggs but unfortunately that wasn't on the menu. So I ended up getting the eggs Benedict. My boyfriend got a bunch of sides. He ordered bacon, egg whites, and strawberries. He also ordered the big backyard salad. I had the peach lavender soda and he had a green tea. The strawberries weren't so good, a lot of them were ruined and it wasn't sweet at all. The bacon and egg whites were really enjoyable by him. The eggs Benedict was superb. One of the best ones I've had. The biscuit definitely made it a lot better since usually it's an English muffin so that was a nice twist. The sauce on the poached eggs were so tasty. I usually don't finish my meals but I ate every last bite of this dish. The salad that came with it was also finished. My boyfriend liked the salad but it wasn't anything special. My eggs Benedict though definitely is a 5 by itself. The peach lavender soda and green tea were really good. I enjoyed the soda very much, it was so refreshing and so flavorful. The price is a little over average but I think it was well worth it. read more

Sunday finds Chris and myself at Commune for some of Barry's Sunday breakfast - I have been a few times with others, but this was the first for chris....17th street in va beach - few blocks west of ocean front - across the street from the tiny sharpening shop with big red ax on roof. If you are old like me, back in time it was the Meekins Pontiac dealership. Fine spot for very good food and many things different - you will have to experience it for yourself to truly understand my meaning - and you will not be disappointed I guarantee. Chris had rice bowl -veggies - egg and I had sorghum pancakes-eggs-ham-pumpkin - both were truly outstanding as all of the other items we have tried. Now the coffee - OMG it was some of the best I have ever had - they sell it also, but were sold out for carry out - "Haitian Blue"....wow....be back soon mr barry. read more

3rd visit, the person working at the bar did not give us the time of day. We just walked in and sat ourselves, we weren't greeted 'Good morning' and when I did approach the girl at the bar, she was talking to a friend and It just seemed to be that I was an inconvenience to her. Need to work on customer service with the employees. Did not feel welcomed at all, and to top it off ... it wasn't at all busy. Unfortunately they lost 2 customers. read more

The hostess staff did not clearly describe why there were open outdoor seating while we waited. When I inquired I was given a disrespectful tone and a demand to wait until I was called. Lost a potential customer that frequents the area. I'll spread the news not to frequent this establishment. read more

Really disappointed in this place when it comes so highly rated. Service was slow and I should have figured that out while waiting for a table. Took another couple 15min just to get their check and pay. Waitress admits if takes 40+ min on a Sunday for your order to be ready. For a small establishment they really need to figure it out before I could rate higher. After the long wait the food proved to be bland and boring. Disappointing experience in every way. And to top it off, they change for condiments like hot sauce. read more

1st time to Commune and I was pleasantly surprised. Tasha was the bartender and she was very pleasant and knowledgeable, actually the whole staff was. I ordered Lg Americano with 4 shots of espresso and the Ham and Pimento Cheese Biscuit with House-made Strawberry Jelly. Great combination and I'm excited to come back and try out their new Liquor menu. read more

Commune is really solid. I really had no expectations before I ate here, and was kind of forced to do so because of work. I was working an 8 hour event here in early June and because I couldn't leave, when it was time to eat, I had to eat at the bar. Well...that turned out to be a GREAT idea. Alan(sp) the bartender is legit. Extremely friendly and very helpful. There was another bartender that was equally as dope but I forgot his name. Point is...the service was really good. I ate whatever grass-fed organic holistic cow burger they were serving there and it was DELICIOUS. I really thought it would be lacking without the additional hormones and GMOs, but I was wrong. I had whatever stout beer they had around (yes I drink stouts in the summer...wanna fight?) and it was the perfect compliment to my healthy wholesome burger. Anyway...I plan on going back. I started following them on IG in order to feel more closely connected to healthier options. I always enjoy looking at pictures of their salads and mushrooms and what not. They look like what a hike would taste like...if you could taste a hike. read more

Went on a Wednesday morning for breakfast. Restaurant wasn't too busy. We were seated and given menus. All of the menu options are mostly organic and are locally based. They source their ingredients from local producers and get some out of the garden they grow behind the restaurant. We ordered the Corque Madame and the Heirloom Cornmeal Waffles. One of the best, if not the best, breakfasts I've ever had. The flavors were incredible. The Corque Madame was hands down the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is very calm and slightly hipster. Restaurant was very clean and staff was very friendly. read more

Went here this morning while on a weekend trip to Virginia Beach. The food was phenomenal. The menu is very vegetarian friendly and the staff was accommodating with my picky requests. I ordered a Galette buckwheat crepe and substituted smoked sweet potato for ham and it was so tasty!! My husband ordered the cornmeal fried chicken and waffles and he said it was delicious and so different from most menu choices back home in New England. The waitress explained that everything on the menu was locally grown. The burnt honey latte was amazing as well. Menu is definitely on the pricey side overall we were really happy with our breakfast choice this morning and would come back again. read more
