Wanted to update my rating to 5 stars because it definitely has gotten more consistent since my…read morelast review :) Things I love: * Great service * A super nice and aesthetic space (views of the Elizabeth river, clean inside, lots of seats inside and outside, outlets inside) * The bathrooms are VERY clean * Yummy drinks, the matcha is very good and they take the time to whisk it with a bamboo whisk. They have house matcha AND ceremonial matcha * They roast their own coffee * Their rotating specials are always very interesting Recommendations for improvement: * the only thing I would suggest is for the shop to introduce a rewards system or punch card! I go here so often, even a punch card having the 10th drink as free would be a game changer Tip: they validate parking in dominion tower garage, check out their instagram for more details!

My best Norfolk discovery so far! Was staying on business and wanted a morning waterfront walk and…read moreNeptune's is perfectly situated on the pathway. The servers are very friendly and helped me decide upon the cinnamon shipwreck which was so good I ordered one every morning during my stay. In addition I had a breakfast sandwich which to my pleasant surprise was made fresh with actual scrambled egg instead of a previously frozen egg patty. It was ample which was appreciated considering the prices! Definitely more costly than some other local shops but worth it! The view and fresh roasted coffee doesn't disappoint! And yes, you can see the beans being ground on premises! Can't wait to be back in Norfolk for another iced cinnamon shipwreck!

The staff is always welcoming and friendly, despite how busy it can get! They offer a wide selection of great pastries, sweet and savory, along with a slew of seasonal coffees and drinks!! We ordered the lavender latte with oat milk and the orange and cream scone. Soooo good and flavorful! Love this place!! Highly recommend stopping by for a quick pick me up or just to decompress in this lovely space!

Unfortunately, this was one of the most unwelcoming coffee shop experiences I've had…read more When I entered with my 4-year-old son, there was no line, so I briefly lifted him up to look at the pastry case and choose a treat. After he selected a cinnamon bun, I ordered it heated. A moment later, I added two more cinnamon buns for my husband and daughter. The cashier visibly rolled her eyes at what was literally a two-second delay in completing my order. I then ordered a coffee, a dark chocolate latte with almond milk, a cookie, and a gluten-free biscotti. My total was around $21, and I added a $5 tip. While my card was still processing, another customer walked in. The cashier repeatedly told me, "You're all set," even though the card reader had not finished processing my payment. The interaction felt rushed, as though I was being pushed aside for the next customer despite there being no line. While waiting for my order, the barista called out a "decaf latte with almond milk." Since I had ordered a dark chocolate latte with almond milk, I let her know it wasn't mine. The barista immediately appeared irritated and looked ready to dump the drink. The cashier then clarified that the ticket said "dark chocolate," not "decaf," and it became apparent that the handwritten order had been misread. The replacement drink was made while the barista loudly slammed equipment and banged metal tools around, making it very clear she was unhappy about having to remake it. The entire experience felt hostile and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, none of the employees were wearing gloves while handling food items, which raised concerns about cleanliness and food safety. Based on my experience, the customer service was poor, the atmosphere was unwelcoming, and the food handling practices were concerning. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand, as several other customers appear to have reported similar issues. There are plenty of coffee shops in the Virginia Beach area that value customer service. I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.

I was visiting family that lives a few minutes away from Pinup Coffee Cafe. Took my nephews on a…read morefood outing and got caught in a torrential downpour, remembered that Pinup was open until 4 on weekdays and decided to try it on the way home. That said, we arrived with about 20 minutes to spare. I had noticed on Yelp that they do pour over coffee but I didn't want to ask for something time consuming at the end of the shift. The extremely nice and professional staff member insisted on making the pour over and said that she likes making them. It certainly showed in the quality of the coffee. On her recommendation, I went with the Tail Wind beans and was glad that I did. I've drank a fair amount of pour over and this ranks towards the top. That's because I was able to taste the various flavors and that's not always the case with my palate. Truly a delicious cup of coffee. My nephews enjoyed a blueberry scone that they heated up nicely and the Salty Texan coffee beverage. Almost forgot to mention, it's a relatively new shop as of summer 2026 and it's absolutely gorgeous! Sizable and stylish. Great seating options and a view of a lake, hard to beat these aesthetics! I will certainly look to return when I'm back in the area!

I had a great experience at Pinup Coffee and will definitely be back! One of the things I enjoyed…read moremost was the atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find a comfortable spot whether you want to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. There are also several areas designed for working on a laptop, which creates a welcoming environment for remote workers and students. For food, I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it was delicious. It was filling, flavorful, and made for a great start to the day. For my drink, I got the Graham Cracker Shaken Espresso with oat milk and extra syrup. It was absolutely fantastic. The espresso is strong so I do recommend the extra syrup. Overall, Pinup Coffee offers a great combination of quality food, excellent coffee, and a comfortable atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a place to enjoy breakfast, grab a specialty coffee, or spend a few hours working, it's definitely worth a visit.

I came by here to get some work done & it reminded me of the coffee shops I would go to in college…read morethat I wish we had more of where I live. You order at the front register, they give you a number to place on your table & you choose a seat if you're dining in. I ordered the rice, sweet potato & salmon bowl & a Paloma. The bowl was only okay-- they didn't cook the mushrooms at all, the sweet potatoes were cold & the salmon was stiff. The paloma was decent enough. I overall really like this place for the convenience, the vibe, & the good service. I would definitely come back here if I'm back in town!

The meat was also not warm at all, like the center was cold when I'd bite into it, as if it wasn't heated fully from frozen. I got a lemon/mango tea and it didn't taste like lemon or mango at all. I wouldn't recommend. The cashier was nice tho. It was super quiet inside (lots of ppl studying/with laptops) which made us feel like we should eat outside if we wanted to talk. It kinda looks/feels like a library.

The vibe is very nice, the only downside is that it's located next to Walmart so the view is the parking lot lol. I hope they get enough funding one day to establish themselves in a bigger building where they can truly thrive! Employees have also been very nice to me and don't mind breaking down their menu or giving recommendations which is appreciated as a newcomer!

First time at 17 Hands after getting a recommendation from a nearby business…read more They are located in Kempsville Shopping Center. No issues with surface parking that's nearby their front door. The walk up was debris free. The shop has a lot of coffee and some merchandise for sale. I wanted to try a coffee and baked good. They are known for their blueberry scones, but I went against the grain. The Vegan Blueberry loaf appealed to me. With it being later afternoon the bakery Cade was pretty bare, but blueberry scones continued to crank out. They also had a coffee special, a carrot cake latte. Service was helpful and friendly. The dining room has a decent amount of space to enjoy a brew and treat inside. Outdoor seating is limited, but they do have it. The decor is pretty dark and rustic with wood tables. I chose a table in the rear that was clean. After around 5+ my blueberry loaf was called out by my name. It was warmed up and pretty good. Being vegan it was not as sweet, but I liked it. Another 10+, too long in my opinion my name was called for coffee pick up. At that point most of my load had been eaten. The coffee was pretty good, not blowing me away. I would like to return to try more. 3+, rounding up.
