I'm in town visiting my family and was looking for pour over coffee. Found Fathom on Yelp and knew it was my kind of place. Nice location near the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Cool vibe, bit of a modern industrial roaster aesthetic. Staff were patient, professional, and provided good recommendations. I went with a Rwandan special pour over, one of my nephews got the hot chocolate, my daughter and another nephew each got iced caramel lattes. It was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed seats in their beautiful garden area. The Rwandan was served at optimal temperature and was complex and delicious! My daughter and nephews enjoyed their drinks as well. I will certainly return! read more

I recently visited Fathom, a cozy, charming coffee shop I discovered after leaving the Old Beach Farmers Market.  They are conveniently located off Baltic Ave and have  plenty of free street parking (No fear of getting towed)  The interior is small, with a limited waiting area, but the outdoor seating in the back is the true highlight. It has tables and umbrellas overlooking a beautiful flower and vegetable garden. I was especially impressed by how dog-friendly Fathom is; my dogs were welcomed inside just like any other guest, and there are even pictures of their furry guest on the walls near the entrance. Their prices are very affordable & reasonable, especially compared to other coffee shops in the oceanfront area. On my first visit, I ordered a hot caramel latte with almond milk and an iced white chocolate mocha latte, and both drinks together were just over $11. They were well-balanced and delicious. My Second visit I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks. I ordered a hot coconut drift latte with almond milk, my daughter a watermelon lemonade and a pup cup. I was really impressed with the service my dog received, as they made their pup cup from scratch! The drinks have consistently been high in quality and flavor on each visit. It's worth mentioning that they don't serve food, but they do offer some pre-packaged snacks for purchase. Fathom has officially become a part of my Saturday morning routine when I visit the farmer's market. I highly recommend giving Fathom a try if you're in the area; you definitely won't be disappointed! read more

So crazy story...I actually I found this place while looking for another coffee spot in the Vibe District. It is definitely a hidden gem, and I shouldn't say a "hidden" gem because it was packed lol. I stumbled across Fathom Coffee one Saturday morning. The inside is very small with 2 tables in the inside. The line was pretty long which was good sign. That meant it must be good. It would be a place that I grab the coffee and go because I sat in the chair while waiting on my coffee to be made and I felt like I was in the way because the line was long. They do have seating outside. One thing I noticed was that prices were extremely reasonable. There was so much to choose from and I ordered the vanilla shaken espresso with oat milk. They didn't upcharge for the milk which was a plus. My coffee was delicious! I can definitely see why the line was long and will be returning soon! read more

Coffee and matcha that is potent yet delicious. Staff are efficient and friendly. Love the smell of the beans as they are also a roaster. Street parking adjacent to the building. read more

This coffee shop is for people who genuinely care about their coffee. They roast their own beans, list the origins and explain the flavors. Their drinks are thoughtful and designed to bring out the flavor of the coffee. The shop is small and cozy with a very nice garden outside for additional seating. Service was quick and they even gave me a coupon to come back. It was well worth the walk from my hotel on the main strip for this. A guaranteed stop next time I'm at the beach. read more

Back at Fathom with the Hampton Roads coffee passport and what can I say? I'm glad we tried it again. I got a fantastic latte that I really enjoyed and my husband enjoyed his nitro cold brew. The baristas were great and friendly and it was a great way to spend our Friday morning. I wish they had sippy lids for the nitro and more seating. Otherwise, great experience! read more

Fathom Coffee - iced coconut drift latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

As a dog mom, the dog wall of fame easily won me over. Yummy coffee too- I got the first Watch special and it tasted like a blueberry muffin in a cup. A tad on the sweet side for me, but still very good. My dog got pup cup, which was hands down the fanciest pup cup she's ever gotten. Very nice workers, cool vibe. Great visit for dog parents! read more

Fathom Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Came here for our coffee fix after brunch on Easter Sunday. Hubs got an iced mocha and I got an iced vanilla latte. Only complaint is that I asked for light ice which meant that they filled the cup with less coffee/milk. When you pay $11 for two coffees, I expect a little more product. That was a disappointment, but overall, very yummy drinks which we took on a boardwalk bike ride. read more

Good coffee, a bit pricey though, $5.00 for a small cappuccino, same for a small latte. read more

Fantastic coffee. Service was wonderful. Cute little coffee shop. Coffee shop was busy but everything came out quickly. read more

We had a great time visiting this tiny coffee shop. Not only was the coffee good, but the outside seating made it an awesome experience. The nitro cold brew, however, used a coffee that was too dark for my preference...but everyone else loved their lattes. I'd recommend they shift their cold brew to a medium (or light!) roast! read more

First time in, customer service was great. They recommended an iced vanilla latte with caramel drizzle and cold foam. It's amazing! read more

When I asked them to let me look at the menu it my first time visiting , they informed me of the process of the coffee and the story of the beans they have.

So sad that Fathom was less than desirable. I've heard rave reviews about Fathom and have had it on my "to-try" list for over 6 months. Finally made it over this weekend and I should have listened to my sense of smell when we walked in and both immediately looked at each other and stated that it smelled VERY weird in the establishment. My first thought was "OOPS, they terribly burnt that batch", but the stickers on the wall stating "never burnt" eased my mind LOL. Sadly, it was un-drinkably (is that a word?) burnt and a complete waste of $6. The only saving grace for the 2 stars rather than 1 was the delicious cold foam served atop. Since it most definitely could have been an off-day, I will probably try it again in the future, but for now, a bit turned off. read more

First of all, this place has great freshly roasted coffee beans that are particularly amazing for Espresso shots! But a little backstory: I had walked about 2 miles dropping my car off to get repairs and then I walked all the way to Fathom to get some coffee. It was my first time being a patron of this shop, but I needed caffeine! The baristas were so kind and comforting. The smell of fresh coffee being made and all that merch and coffee paraphernalia around the shop gave it such a nice, laid back and modern vibe. One thing about local coffee shops, the team members will make you feel like you're part of their squad. I've used many coffee beans for my Espresso machines. From store-bought to locally harvested. From Cafe Stella Roaster to Fathom I've tried them all, and in my personal opinion-- I've had some of the smoothest, richest, and creamiest espresso shots with Fathom beans. On top of purchasing their beans, you get a free iced coffee as a "thank you!" You'd never get that at most places! Love the work they do (I wanted to post pictures of the Colombian blend I bought but I'm currently out of town). read more

Long overdue review. Came across Fathom thanks to the Summer Coastal Coffee Trail. Baristas were friendly, the iced matcha was nice and strong, and the outside seating area of Fathom is wonderful and vibrant. They did not upcharge me for substituting my milk, which is very rare these days. So thanks, Fathom! Just wish I lived closer... read more

Fathom Coffee - Matcha - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Yesterday we took an unexpected trip to Virginia Beach. Of course I had a lot of different things on my list to try, but I was in need of a caffeine hit. I want to say that I'm not in the business of hurting small business. With that being said, I do drink a lot of coffee, and think of myself as an expert in this field. I felt as though my coffee wasn't really espresso, and I did specifically order a latte. Other than that the chai lattes we ordered were so delicious, and an amazing price too. As far as the interior, it's pretty tiny in there, but it definitely gives off coffee by the beach vibes. There is a back patio that is shared with the restaurant next door, but other than that not a lot of places to sit. However it's spring, and it's weather to be taking a stroll with your coffee. So pick up your coffee and enjoy the beautiful Vibe District of VB. read more

I've had lattes all over the 757, this is easily top 5 of all time. Chef's kiss, no notes.

Super cute shop! I tried a decaf latte and it was so delicious it didn't even need sugar. The staff were a lot of fun and I enjoyed talking with them. In short, a really solid brew and I will definitely be visiting again soon to sample their coffee again! read more

Can't fathom ((see what I did there)) how we didn't know about this place before today! Came here today for the first time after finding out about this spot on the coastal coffee trail. Walking in, they've got a large list of coffee options. Unfortunately today, they were out of their nitro cold brew, so I got a pour over (Mexican coffee) - got it black and it was very good. My husband got the cortado and liked it also. We came on a day where it was 95 degrees outside, so ended up having to sit in the car to drink our coffee. Took off one star because the location is small and they do not have indoor seating and they seemed a little rushed. I do like that they have specialty options that benefit charities as part of their menu! Will be back when it's a little cooler out. read more

What an amazing shop with amazing customer service. These ladies know their coffee and can guide you with recommendations. This is my second time visiting and have enjoyed my coffee both times. We even left with a hiking spot recommendation that turned out to be a beautiful spot to hike and enjoy our Fathom coffee. They have a huge selection of pour over and espresso coffee. Nitro Cold Brew on tap. The espresso was great, the nitro tho could have been a little richer. They share a building and community patio with Commune and Esoteric. The patio seems to be a lovely place to gather, study and work. Check them out, they are doing a lovely job. read more

Fathom Coffee - Jupiter Juice: Iced Vanilla Orange Cold Brew with Heavy Cream - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This is a hidden gem. They take coffee to a whole new level. They are like mad scientist making WONDERFUL coffee. -They have a huge selection of coffee beans from different countries and different roasts. -They have a wide variety of how the coffee is brewed. Like I said they take it to a whole new level . -If there is a coffee you love . You can take whole beans or freshly ground home. They have mason jars and air seal them. If you bring the jar back you get money back for that and that goes towards your next purchase. I love that they recycle and reuse . They also sell empty coffee sacks. Now to tell you about the coffee we have tried. Lattes come in all different seasonal and regular flavors. You can get them as sweet as you want and use different choices of milk . Very customized. The staff is awesome about listening to your style. I like sweet and my husband does not. They made our lattes to suit our individual needs and we both were inlove with our lattes. We have also gotten a pour-over. This is a total delight. I spoke with my barista for a while about the different beans that they had. She was extremely knowledgeable about the flavor notes. We ended up getting a wonderful Peruvian Bean Medium Roast straight. IT was WONDERFUL. They had seating inside and out. read more

Very personable staff and great products and ambiance I have enjoyed Fathom for years now. Their creative skills are evident and appreciated. Best hot chocolate I've ever had and it was perfect on a chilly day. The service is spot on, it's like they are reading my mind. I would love to see them grow, but on the other hand, the personal touch is really appreciated. read more

Seriously good. Have been wanting to try this spot out for a while now but never think about it until it's too late. This weekend I visited twice! Tried a hot and iced latte and loved the flavor of the coffee. My fiancée went with a pour over and they have tons of coffees to choose from. Baristas were super friendly and amenable to making suggestions and explaining to my fiancée all about pour over and why it's so good. Minimal inside and outside seating and decor with a single clean unisex bathroom. It's all about the coffee here! But sooo good. And you can easily walk nearby for food or pastries. read more

Fathom Coffee - Caramel latte with oatmilk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

A fun local spot to hit up when exploring the ViBE creative area! Peruse the menu and order a drink because these specialty lattes are coffee-forward! If you need a sweeter drink, go for a white chocolate drink of sorts. If you love the taste of the coffee bean, a cortado and traditional macchiato are made perfectly. Trust: as a barista, no judgment if you like sweeter coffee! The staff was approachable and ready for questions as I like to try out their special latte of the month. At the time, it was a white chocolate blueberry latte. Make it iced and enjoy the murals and other stores and eateries of the district. It's not a place to post up with a laptop or be productive, but it's a cute spot to hit with some friends, solo, or with a date because there's plenty of things to do and see in the area. read more

Cute and local, Fathom Coffee serves up various types of pour-overs, nitro brews, lattes, and cappuccinos, has dairy-free milk and syrups, and also has coffee beans, homebrew kits, and various apparel for purchase. I stopped by early morning and ordered a hot pour-over with a splash of oat milk and also tried their iced Cherry Hibiscus nitro brew. The coffee was nice and strong, but I wasn't really a fan of the latter. Staff were super kind and welcoming, and I liked the cute al fresco seating that was set up outside. Plenty of street parking is available! +good strong coffee +friendly staff +plenty of street parking read more

This is my first time at Fathom Coffee, and for the most part, I enjoyed it. The quality of coffee was amazing and I would definitely go back to try other options. Unfortunately, with that being said, I ordered a chocolate croissant, and they handed me one in a rapper. It was kind of doughy and soft, which is kind of awkward for a croissant. For an area that represents their products of of being local or homemade, I found it odd that they purchased packaged products from elsewhere. There is a bakery literally across the street that they can source from, and it would be a better option than this, in my opinion. Also, they didn't ask me "for her or to go", so I don't know if they only use paper cups or this was just a one off but having a cappuccino and a to go cup while eating at their establishment is kind of a mood killer, especially when the outdoor seating is an amazing spot to hang out and just chill. read more

My partner and I tried Fathom Coffee last weekend and what a great VB hidden gem! Their Chai Tea Latte was the best I've ever had - not too sweet and perfectly aromatic. We also tried the nitro cold brew as well as the food items (waffle and chocolate pastry). Both the waffle and chocolate pastry were so much better than I expected, so we ended up buying more. For being close to the oceanfront, I was pleasantly surprised by their prices, which were very reasonable. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We loved how friendly they were with our dogs too. Will definitely be back! read more

Fathom Coffee - Their waffle is a must try! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Stop number 10 on the Coastal Coffee Trail, almost there! This coffee shop shares a parking lot with Esoteric. Not huge but a parking lot nonetheless! I appreciate this as someone who struggles to parallel park and has anxiety about where I will park! This place is so adorable! I loved the patio and sunflower garden! All the seating was outdoor so keep that in mind. I didn't see many food options aside some biscotti so if you come here it will definitely be for the coffee. The coffee I got was worth it! Great coffee and the syrup (I think I did Caramel) was not overpowering! Cute place to stop a grab a cup of coffee and take some cute selfies! read more
