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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We went to this place because we missed our hotel breakfast. I chose it because they have an awesome selection of lattes, both iced and hot. The blueberry/brown sugar iced latte was PHENOMENAL, hands down the most gorgeous drink I have ever tasted. I ordered the biscuit eggs Benedict (as shown) while my entourage got the crispy potato bowl and the cornmeal waffles with sausage. Everything was delish, but beware of the portions. They are a little big but we have no regrets! The vibes here were immaculate but a little lacking on the exterior. Service was fast and the girls were very friendly! 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

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 - The Whole Dam Farm!! - Cafes Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

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

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

Food was great! A little slow service due to the commune style seating, it was difficult to tell who was helping who. I love the dedication to keeping everything local. The rosemary latte with oatmilk might have been the best latte of my life. 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

Cool, modern wood interior with black trim. It was very busy for brunch service, but we were seated quickly. The menu is moderately sized, with an emphasis on local produce. For drinks, I ordered an iced latte with burnt honey which was awesome - definitely recommend. My girlfriend and I split the Farmer's breakfast appetizer, which featured two eggs on sourdough toast and a salad. It was delicious. I ordered the Pulled Pork Hash, which came with a healthy serving of pulled pork, sweet potatoes and onions. It had a sunny side up egg and Alabama white sauce to top it off. The pork was made North Carolina style, so it featured a vinegar dressing. Combined with the Alabama white sauce, I thought it would be too acidic, but it was perfect when combined with the veggies. Prices are relatively high, but you are paying for fresh, local produce and a thoughtful menu. We didn't order any cocktails, but I found the selection to be impressive. Overall, it was our best meal in Virginia Beach and I would happily return. read more

Good, service, ambience -- check, check, check. Super friendly, warm, and inviting as soon as we walked in, and then came the perfect latte with handmade burnt honey and lavender syrup, followed by the big plate of cornmeal waffles topped by a savory patty of pan sausage and an egg over easy. The waffles were thick and delicious, with a marvelous toothy texture and a little crunch from the flax seeds. Wonderful! read more

So good! Just in town for the weekend and delighted to find this gem! Hash tots were a great starter but couldn't finish it all as the mains we shared (hot honey chicken biscuit and eggs Benedict) were both delicious and very filling. Unique flavor combinations---really really yummy! Will return any time we're in town! 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

Food is fresh and different - large portions, suggest sharing most plates. Very busy on weekends, expect to share a table with others during busy times. Nice outdoor seating, drinks available if desired. Vibe is fun and vibrant. Service/food might take a while when busy, go on the weekends if you are not in a hurry but would like to relax! read more

Dog friendly and great coffee. My puppy can come here and dine in the patios. First the coffee, as it was amazing. String but flavorful and oh so creamy too. Not sweet, the way I like it. I had the BLT with egg and was expecting the egg to ooze out but didn't which is fine do less mess. Fries were done well as it was crispy outside and moist inside. Service was quick and attentive which was perfect as it is hard to find these days. Ginger limeade was refreshing and not too sweet. Definitely coming back soon. 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

To start, not a fan of the "community" seating. If you have a larger party, it can work, but if you are a party of 2, odds are you will be sitting with others. Lots of local food options which is definitely nice. A cool local spot, but probably not more than a few times a year at best. read more

Stopped by for a super quick breakfast grab & the aroma as I walked up was definitely an invite with my name on it!! There is such a chill & cozy setup that seems very friendly and open. I was greeted by not only an employee, but also a customer. I like that they have the baked goodies right up front, so I knew exactly what I wanted. The employee offered to warm up my sourdough croissant, to include butter and apple jam for an added price of 50 cents. Personally, the apple jam was a little too similar to applesauce to me, but the croissant was delicious. Everyone inside seemed to be enjoying an early Sunday morning breakfast & I can't wait to come back and give it a full try myself. Glad I know of an oceanfront location that I can grab a croissant from! An added plus is the outside seating that I'm sure is perfect during great weather. read more

Wow. This spot was searched up on Google Maps for proximity to our hotel and it did not disappoint. Everything is sourced at most 200 miles from the location and they take their time to curate the menu based on the availability of the items. We went on a Monday morning and got greeted and seated right away. Our waitress was so nice and patient with us and all of our questions and she was able to give us the specials which was a side order of scallops among other things. Of course I got that. And sheesh, the three sauces they were placed on escape me but they were so good and the scallops so fresh. My main was the heirloom tomato sandwich and before you say, wait just tomatoes? YES AND IT WAS BUSSIN' (for someone who LOVES tomatoes lol). So good. Everything was paired beautifully and it was so filling - I ate the other half on the way home!l to NOVA. Our waitress recommended the drip coffee with half lavender/burnt honey and I was so glad I got it - I'm a sucker for a hot lavender laced drink and this one did NOT disappoint. Next time I come to the beach, I'm going to make sure I visit this spot. I'm so glad I found it. read more
