Commune is still around and is still incredible. This is the best breakfast I've had in Virginia Beach. The ingredients are high quality, the flavors are great, the cook on everything is great, the portions are huge and the presentation is so tidy! Like, across the board perfect. Everything has improved in quality from my last visit, which was already 5 stars. Highly recommend the fruit fritters, benedicts, and crepes. Coffee beverages are top notch also. You might not think it with how fancy and adult the menu seems, but this place is great for kids too. You can assemble a standard egg and bacon type breakfast out of the "sides" section of the menu but a bunch of the crepes are super kid friendly as well. read more

Commune serves fresh, satisfying food in a hip coffee-shop setting. I have visited the restaurant twice and have tried 4 items (sweet potato tots, pancakes with bacon, white crepe, and the crispy potatoes). My favorite dishes out of those were the WHITE CREPE (a must-order! The butter and honey added just enough sweetness to the crepe and then I would dip each bite into a little bit of jam) & THE CRISPY POTATOES (make sure you add an egg-- the runny yolk adds so much flavor). The potatoes is a very large portion so I would recommend sharing this between 2-3 people. I love potatoes and even I couldn't finish the whole bowl. The hoe cakes with bacon were also very heavy but good. And the sweet potato tots were very savory, although not as crispy as I would have liked since each "tot" is so big. Another great shareable dish though! read more

Highly recommend. Staff is friendly Cofre was really good. Lavender latter and affogato Food- pancakes and fried chicken sandwich - insanely good read more

This is a cute place with good service. They have communal tables, good beer selection, decent biscuits, good fried chicken... what else could one want? Maybe stronger A/C. Otherwise, pretty good stuff although everything seemed just a touch off. The ham was a tad too salty. The chicken was a tad under salted, the biscuits were just a little too baking soda flavored, although good texture. Overall though a nice brunch. read more

We loved the food. It tasted fresh. The peach cornmeal waffle was delicious (and huge). The latte was delicious. I really have nothing bad to say and will certainly return read more

Every time I come to VA Beach I come to Commune and every time it hits the spot! This time I ordered the chicken sandwich which was chefs kiss and the iced golden milk was refreshing. read more

Detailed Review: Cappuccino w/ burnt honey + oat milk : 5/5 Really good. Had what I think was bee pollen on top. Almost got a second one to go Golden milk latte w/oat milk: 5/5 "Best golden milk latte I've ever had" - friend Lavender soda: 4/5 Light and refreshing. A little strong at first but really nice overall. Ginger fix mimosas: 3/5 Nice and cute. Nothing to write home about but still pretty good Hot chicken sandwich w/crispy potatoes: 3/5 "Not hot, no chicken" - friend The potatoes and the aioli were probably the best part out of all the food items. Biscuits Egg Benedict w/fried chicken: 1/5 Nothing really had any flavor. It was almost like they forgot to season any of the food. The biscuit was dry and the eggs still had uncooked whites. Not sure why the lettuce. Overall: 3.5/5 Want to give it a 4 because it was so cute and the drinks were phenomenal. However, the food was really bland and for the price, it really should be more than just pretty. Would definitely return for the coffee read more

Decided to stop in while visiting the area. We were looking for a local place that served great breakfast and this place didn't disappoint. It was packed when we walked in at 10:30 but we got the two last seats at the bar. Our server was fantastic and explained how just about everything at the restaurant is sourced locally. My wife started off with a Lavender Burnt Honey Latte which she said was one of the best lattes she has ever had. We then ordered Biscuits & Gravy along with Chicken & Waffles. I can't even describe how amazing the food was. You could tell it was fresh and tasted delicious. Everyone we interacted with here was so pleasant even though the place was jamming and appeared to be short staffed. If you're in town and looking for a great place to enjoy some amazing food, definitely stop in! read more

Gave this place another chance to blow my mind, as my last review of Commune wasn't great. I had a crepe I ordered here before and it was...flavorless, and dry, and honestly...something I had to turn back and didn't eat...it ended up being less than a 4 star review. So, today I tried to give Commune...another chance. Today, I opted for a Hot totty (because it's chilly outside and it sounded like a wonderful way to warm up) and a Double Stack Beef Burger with a house salad. Mind. Blown. The salad was fresh, crisp and had just the right amount of dressing. The burger was juicy, cooked well done, well spiced, and on a grilled bun that had a delicious mustard seed and cheese slathered across it. I opted to add bacon...best...decision...ever! Next time I'll add an egg just to see if I like it better. Long story short. I enjoyed the service, and today...I actually enjoyed the food too! ***note*** This place stays busy, so make sure you have time to kill aka...tine well spent with friends or family... Also be prepared to share your table if you're only a party of two. Service: excellent Menu: vegan friendly, carnivore friendly Cleanliness: very clean...tables were bussed immediately Ambiance: casual Seating: indoor and limited outdoor seating Swing in and try a bite!!! read more

This cute locally owned restaurant in the heart of Virginia Beach's Vibe district is a must! For years, yes years, I've been wanting to come here but never had the opportunity until I girlfriend asked to do brunch and this place came to mind. The have a lot of seating but they get packed fairly quickly. Customer service is great. They are very attentive and nice. We sat at the bar and all the staff members spoke to us. The lattes are to die for!! Then the dishes were also good. I didn't entirely love my dish because I'm not a fan of garlic but it was still good. I love that the food are all locally sourced from local farms. The vibe is really cute and trendy. 10 out of 10 recommend this spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. read more

Food is always delicious, but the servers are always extremely rude and ignore me when I come with my girlfriend. Today we watched 4 other groups get served before they even brought us a menu. The consistent rudeness leads me to believe they are homophobic at this location. Wish they'd treat all customers equally. read more

Stopped here on our way home from the outer banks and reading the reviews.. On point, everything we had was delish but the sweet potato tots were a pleasing surprise, more of a fritter and one of the best things you might ever try.. could be dangerous if I lived closer.. the hummingbird was light and refreshing. Service was great.. if you enjoy a fresh flavorful innovative menu this is the spot. read more

Hi. New York Person™ here. As such, I feel like I'm treated to the best of everything. It's only when I leave NYC that I realize this is, of course, not always true. Commune is doing things in a small space in an out of the way corner of Virginia Beach that some very large, very funded, very talked about restaurants in Manhattan can't do. Their menu is composed entirely of ingredients and products sourced from just miles away from their front door. The service is casual and friendly and the food is stupid good. The interior is hip and warm, and there's ample parking outside. It's busy without having a two hour long wait list. This is a restaurant that is literally firing on all eight cylinders. The only thing that didn't work for me were the biscuits. I'm from North Carolina originally, and I recognize that I probably have ultra-specific and not entirely attainable standards for biscuits. My wife liked them and she "gets" food, if that helps. I just...have a lot of biscuit thoughts. It's weird. The stuff inside the biscuit was wicked good, though. Even the salad that came with my entree, an afterthought in other places, was well considered and delicious. Absolutely top notch, and I would (and will) return despite the whole biscuit kerfuffle. Which, again, I recognize is a "me" thing. read more

Great ambiance, fresh ingredients and amazing service. The cappuccinos are delicious- served in large cups, they really are a treat. The sweet potato tots were different and pretty tasty. Everything we ordered had been great and they customized it for us as some of us were vegetarian. Can't go wrong with stuff here. read more

My husband and I stopped here on our way out of town on a Friday around 12/12:30, and it was the best decision we made while in Virginia Beach. There was no wait to be seated, which surprised me since it seems to be a popular spot. Everything on the menu (drinks included) is made from local ingredients and is very fresh! I got the peach waffle which was huge and very filling, but absolutely delicious. My husband got the ham and jam biscuit plate and the farmers breakfast - both were tasty! Our food took a bit longer than expected due to a mistake made in the kitchen so we were given a free order of the Hash Tots which was AMAZING! 10/10 recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. read more

Stopped by on a weekend and very likely won't return. It was busy so service was slow. And we sat outside which was a mistake, their front patio is plagued with flies (which we very aggressive and flew into the drinks). We also weren't the biggest fans of the flavoring for the chai and the seasoning choice for the food. The chai was very earthy and reminiscent of flavoring that you might use to season ground beef. It was pleasant (for me). We also ordered the watermelon salad, which was okay but I've had better flavor pairings. The basil on the salad (from their garden) was very likely unwashed because it had little bugs on it. The harmless variety but still disturbing to know it wasn't washed. And the hot honey chicken biscuit was almost good. The chicken had a lot of breading and the biscuit was dry. read more

Commune is way too expensive. $18 for ONE biscuit and gravy that had no flavor except for the 4 or 5 pieces of sausage... Extremely disappointing experience. read more

Really enjoyed this eclectic dining experience. Several vegan and vegetarian options, this place was predominately breakfast focused. Mixed drinks, wines, juices and made to order coffees with endless water. We tried the chicken and waffles (delish) and the fried chicken sandwich, also delish! Too full for any dessert. I would try this again as a breakfast meal vs lunch but this place is worth checking out!!! Inside and outside dining options. read more

I don't usually give 5 stars for a place but this restaurant is serving stellar food. Stop in here if you are in the VA beach area. You won't be disappointed! Service was friendly and the coffee was always refilled which in the morning is very important! Had the sweet potato tots and the honey drizzled on top plus the honey mustard sauce dipping sauce was so good! Also had the corn and zucchini fritters with the garlic aioli and those were delicious! I also got a side of peach jam bc I love sweet and savory and that was also extremely yummy to dip the fritters in. My husband got the spicy chicken sandwich with a salad as his side and this sandwich was done extremely well. I feel like you can judge a place by how they tackle what seems to be a run of the mill item by how they prepare it. The chicken was perfectly fried crispy and the chicken was still very moist. Just enough spice not to be overpowering but just give you a little kick! If we lived anywhere close to this place we would be coming back soon! read more

The food in the Commune is wonderful, service is efficient and friendly, atmosphere is casual and fun. I ate the Spring Salad this time. They source all of their ingredients locally. Everything is fresh and delicious. The goat cheese was especially good. Last time I was ate at the Commune, I ordered the ham and pimento cheese sandwich. That was probably the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Everyone with me loved their meals, too. Another highlight was the iced tea. It had a bit of a spice in it that gave it an extra zip. This place is great! read more

Wow, amazing food and even better service!! The boss and I both started with a latte. My wife enjoyed it so much, she ordered a second!!! There were only 10 items that I REALLY wanted to try on the menu, so I settled on the most obvious choice, "The Whole Damn Farm" aka The WDF. It was a special whole grain crepe with a tone of fresh grilled veggies, bacon and a few specialty sauces! Wow...amazing, I can't say enough about it!!! My wife had the brisket bowl and she is still talking about it 15 hours later!!! (After sampling it, I agreed wholeheartedly.) One teenager enjoyed a huge waffle with granola and some type of blueberry sauce...loved it!! (I snuck a few bites of this too...) The second teenager ordered the Fried Rice Bowl and really enjoyed it. It might have been a little too extravagant for her, but she removed a few of the garnishes and did not complain at all (which NEVER happens). Another win!! And some interesting sparkling water options too! I will note that the farm-to-table concept (which changes menus often) can make it difficult to keep the menu in the website up-to-date. As my memory is less-than-perfect, I might have named some of the entrees incorrectly. The food was FANTASTIC and our server was incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful, she really made our meal even more enjoyable!! The was by far the best breakfast (and possibly best meal) we had all week...a MUST stop if you are in the area!!! read more

Commune was one of the first really farm to table restaurants that I tried in Virginia Beach and it is always one of the first places I recommend people looking for a delicious meal in the vibe. The prices are competitive with what you find from other places that offer the same level of quality- but that's not cheap. You get what you pay for when you come to Commune. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here. They also have excellent baked goods that you can also buy across the street at Prosperity. They have lattes and coffee too- although I don't remember loving my latte and haven't ordered another one in return visits. I'm hoping I'll be able to make another trip soon to try their hot honey chicken, I heard they make their hot honey locally... like everything else on the menu. It's a great stop in the ViBe! read more

The food was terribly overpriced and not good. We ordered 3 breakfast meals which cost almost $50. The kids meal was a burnt half waffle and a few slices of apple thrown in the container for $11. The pancakes were flavorless and dense. The farmers breakfast was bland lettuce with dry toast and 2 eggs for $18. The waitress who assembled our order appeared angry and just threw the order together without a smile or any acknowledgment and handed us the food without saying anything. Would not recommend ordering food to go as it seems they don't like those orders. read more

Commune is absolutely delicious! They are a rustic farm-to-table style restaurant on Virginia Beach Blvd with delicious food and a great atmosphere. I arrived around 9AM on a Sunday and there was plenty of space at the bar and at the communal tables. The staff was very polite and provided lots of great recommendations of their favorites. I went for their Classic Breakfast Sandwich with chicken sausage and pimento cheese. The sandwich was delicious and had a great spicy kick to it. The vegetable toppings were fresh and delicious. I could taste the fact that it was farm-to-table quality in every bite. For dessert, I had their fruit fritters which were the seasonal fruit of apples, fried in dough, rolled in a glaze and topped with whipped cream and powered sugar. They were delicious and I cannot recommend them enough. Be sure to save room for dessert and try these if you get the chance. Overall, I recommend anyone try Commune! read more

After getting breakfast at Java then strolling around the VA Beach area, my friend and I decided to come here for lunch. The wait was extemely long, because the restaurant was only staffed with two waitresses. However, I thought the food made up for the 45-minute wait for service and a table. My friend ordered the grits bowl; meanwhile, I settled on the pulled pork bowl (subbing roasted vegetables for the rice). The pulled pork wasn't too dry. Though I wish I had received more veggies in my bowl, I thought the cole slaw, peanut slaw, and roasted veggies all complimented the pork really nicely. My friend similarly enjoyed her grits bowl, and ended up taking home a good amount of leftovers. All in all, my visit to Commune was very satisfying. read more

This was a quick walk over from our rental beach house and close to the beach. Decent enough outdoor seating for small parties. If you have a big party (5 or more) definitely come early to grab a spot outside. We got there first thing in the morning on a Wed and was able to grab a table for our large party (5 adults and 2 kids). Service was great and the food was pretty good too. The only reason I took off a star was I wasn't a fan of their crepes. It was too flimsy and drenched in butter. My son did not like it at all. He loved the chicken and waffles and gobbled that up. All in all, amazing coffee (ordered the burnt honey latte), chicken & waffles, and service. I would definitely come back if I'm back in VA beach! read more

I came here with friends on a weekday morning and it was slightly busy. The decor was farmhouse style and I love that! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of their menu. They take the time to explain their menu and where they get their food. I love that this place serves local food and the menu changes based on whatever is locally available and in season. I tried the breakfast sandwich with ham along with a side order of the scallops. The breakfast sandwich has a folded egg but I asked for a fried egg instead. The sandwich itself was delicious. The egg yolk was still runny and it went well with the saltiness from the ham. It comes with a green aioli. I ended up stealing my friend's fried potatoes to eat with the green aioli. The scallops were plump and cooked perfectly. Each scallop came with it owns sauce - I loved them all. I also tried their Breakfast on Baltic. It was a light, refreshing alcoholic coffee drink. The whiskey did not overpower the coffee. I highly recommend coming here if you're visiting Virginia Beach. This place is a hidden gem. read more

I can appreciate the wholesome food, but if I ask for ketchup and you tell me "tomato's are out of season" you can damn well expect I will never come back or recommend this place to anyone. The food is honestly really good, the environment is not for everyone. read more

Really don't know the hype about this place. It's so hipster and overpriced. My friends and I went there for a good, standard brunch and the menu itself looked so confusing. The shrimp and grits tasted more sour than usual, the chicken and waffles combo looks so eccentric, and the vibe just seems so ho-ho stuck up? I don't know if it's just the Neon district vibe or anything, but the price did not match up with the quality and taste of the food. bleh. read more

The food was very mid. I also ordered a latte that, to be honest, was horrible. When I mentioned it to the staff, I was immediately told "well I'm not taking it off the bill". I very rarely send anything back and I was not impressed that this was their first response. Won't be coming back. read more

My family and I visited Commune multiple times during our stay in Virginia Beach. I now live in Phoenix and sometimes miss these special small farm-to-table style restaurants of the east coast from growing up, so I really enjoyed this spot! My family and I eat healthier and enjoy high quality food, and that was not easy to find along the main streets of Virginia Beach. Phoenix does have amazing food, but there's something different about this style of restaurant that you don't find as much out west. Commune was so fresh, delicious and unique. The menu may be different now, but I ordered the polenta breakfast bowl every time we visited because it was truly that good. My Dad and boyfriend both ordered a barbecue breakfast bowl that they seriously still talk about to this day. My Mom and sister both tried different things each visit and enjoyed them all. I always ordered espresso, and it was always perfect. The service was always wonderful, too! I highly recommend making a stop to Commune on your trip! read more
