Firehouse Coffee - The oldest firehouse in the US Army system. Incredible vibe. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Firehouse Coffee 1881 is a cute, history-filled coffee shop located in Fort Monroe. The employees warmly greeted us, and the piña colada matcha was yummy but definitely on the sweeter side. We sincerely appreciated the 10% military discount and recommend bringing cash to avoid the 3% credit card charge. Indoor and outdoor seating are available. read more

Operating out of the U.S. Army's oldest firehouse (est. 1881) at historic Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA, this spot has gone from fighting flames to fueling them, one perfectly brewed cup at a time. Friendly service, inviting atmosphere, reasonable prices, and lots of memorabilia to enjoy. Definitely a nice stop for a warm beverage on a rainy day. read more

Firehouse Coffee - Cup sleeves - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Hands down one of the coolest coffee houses in Hampton Roads! I would likely have never known this place existed without my coffee passport. It's tucked away on Fort Monroe - a little off the beaten path for me, but well with the visit. Google maps had me coming from the back side of the building but once you find your way around, there is ample parking and some outdoor seating for nice days. Like any converted firehouse the only windows are from the large roll-up doors. The inside is cozy with plenty of comfy seating. They offer free Wi-Fi and activities for little ones including lots of fire trucks to play with so this would be a nice spot for families. Already planning to bring my family in for a stop on the way to Williamsburg. Plenty of coffee and non-coffee options plus seasonal specials and tons of flavor choices, including sugar free. I opted for a sugar-free dark chocolate latte which was delicious - perfect level of sweetness and just the right temperature. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on naan bread. They have multiple cheese and other bread options. The egg was a little over seasoned but flavor was good. Compared to the major chains and other independent coffee shops, prices here are reasonable. Overall a great visit with welcoming and helpful staff. Looking forward to a trip back! read more

Very nice place, has a bunch of firefighter decor. Theres baked good options and plenty of drink options. Non dairy milk available. And the best part is they use coffee ice cubes for iced coffee. Outdoor and indoor seating available. read more

I went in after a walk. I ordered an iced butter pecan latte with almond milk and a honey butter croissant. I was short about a dollar (I didn't want to use my card) so I took off the croissant. They were so sweet. They had already made the croissant so they gave it to me for free! It was a very sweet gesture. For that, they get 5 stars because they understand great customer service. I'll definitely be back to try their ice cream. Their cafe is nice with limited seating. However, their outside patio is very inviting and nice read more

Firehouse Coffee - Iced butter pecan latte with almond milk and croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

A unique spot with great coffee! My go-to place to take people when they would come out go visit. When you're waiting for your coffee, take a look around the firehouse and check out the cool decor on the walls. On nice days, I loved going in, grabbing a coffee, then sit outside for a while before walking around Fort Monroe. Lots of people bring their dogs too (prob for the same reason as me!) On rainier/colder days, they'd close the garage doors which made the inside cozier, with games available that you can play with friends. My fave coffee shop in the Hampton/NN area! read more

We decided to drive around on a Sunday afternoon during the Nor'easter that was hitting the area to see how the water was rising in different areas. My son wanted to try this place as he bikes in the area, so we stopped for a bite to eat. We both had a nice chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and it was delicious. Since it's October, my son had pumpkin ice cream, which he thoroughly enjoyed and I had a cinnamon muffin, which was very good. Friendly folks and a fun atmosphere! So glad we came. Next time, I'll have a latte and a sandwich. read more

Such a fun little spot in Fort Monroe. I got a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. It was delicious and at the right price. I also had a dirty chai which was probably one of the best I had!

We've come here a few times since moving to Virgina Beach last year! Unique coffee shop in an old firehouse. They have food, baked goods, really good coffee, and Hershey's ice cream. Staff is very friendly and they're dog friendly too! Indoor and outdoor seating. We got the lavender latte, chicken sandwich, and pulled pork sandwich on our most recent visit. Plus chocolate ice cream. Only drawback is there is no bathroom, so just plan for that. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Firehouse Coffee - Lavender latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

On our day off, Sophia and I headed here to this little spot located in Fort Monroe. They are located in what was the oldest firehouse for the US Army. The decor inside is priceless. Seating is both inside and outside for your preference. They were even featured for a Friday Flavors segment last year for Channel 13. Question is did it live up to the hype from Yelpers? We were immediately greeted by staff upon entering. I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte along with a sausage, egg and cheese croissant. Talk about feeling right at home. The coffee was perfect and the crossaint was very good. Very buttery and came through. Sophia ordered the same and liked it as well. Just like many other places, it looks like we found a new place. Welcoming staff, place that is small and quaint and food and beverages you can enjoy :) read more

This coffee shop was good and interesting - but not stellar. It's been on my list for a year or so - ever since I discovered it one afternoon roaming around on the old base. It is aptly named bc it's located inside an old brick firehouse and is themed with firehouse decor inside. It has mismatched leather furniture and tables chairs inside and so has a charming hangout vibe to it that I like. They have a much larger menu (with a ton of tea available - which was surprising to me) and ice cream and various other items and pastries for sale. The inside is cute and cozy with plenty of places to sit and hang out. We went basic with just an iced latte the day we stopped in and were in and out pretty quickly. I like the concept and the vibes - coffee was good - but not great. read more

Fire House Coffee is the hidden gem located on beautiful Ft. Monroe in Hampton. Located inside an old firehouse this coffee shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating and has lots of fire house memorabilia on the walls to explore. In addition to a large offering of both coffee and non-coffee beverages such as smoothies and teas, they have sandwiches, salads, hot dogs and baked goods. We got the build your own breakfast sandwich on croissants with cheese, sausage and Canadian bacon. Both sandwiches were delicious and large enough to be filling. The service was great, everyone was friendly and helpful to us first timers. We sat outside and it was perfect. They are pet friendly as several outdoor diners had their furry friends along. read more

I walk with my dog at Ft Monroe at least 3x a week. I've had a few friends say I should check out this coffeehouse and bring my dog. I loved the decor walking in as it stayed true to a Firehouse feel. I asked an employee of dogs were allowed inside and he let me know it's a dog friendly patio but shouldn't be brought inside due to health code reasons. I received a sticker for it being my first time and ordered an Iced Chai with almond milk. The Chai was pretty decent and a drink I'd order again. I also ordered a pupcup for my dog. This is a cool spot. I'd stop by again and hang out on the patio. read more

No bathroom yet they serve diuretics. Didn't even know you could open a coffee shop without a bathroom.

I am not sure why I have waited so long to write a review for Firehouse -- it's one of the best coffee shops on the peninsula as far as I'm concerned! Located in the old Fort Monroe area, it's a renovated old fire station turned coffee shop. The building alone is worth a visit! Depending on how busy they are, parking can be a bit tricky, but they do have a designated lot next to the building that helps. They have free wifi and a variety of food options -- these seem to keep improving over time. It's a fantastic spot to work as they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Bonus -- once you're done working for the day, the beach is just a few minutes away. You can take a quick walk or read a book for a bit. My only critique as primarily a tea drinker, they don't carry loose leaf teas. Other than that, I enjoy it immensely! read more

A hidden gem at Fort Monroe! If you haven't been to Fort Monroe then I recommend a visit with a stop at Firehouse Coffee 1881! In this picturesque location there is a fantastic little coffee shop! I asked for the Barista's favorite drink to make and they didn't disappoint with a pumpkin dirty chai latte! It was delicious and I drank it before I could get a picture! This awesome coffeeshop also serves ice cream with flavors like Banana Pudding and fresh fruit smoothies where you can add greens or protein! There's also a small assortment of baked goods that you can have go with your coffee. There's plenty of seating for your stay and the decor is on point! Skip the S-buck and grab a drink with flair! read more

The hot chocolate is amazing and not too hot. Staff were very friendly and our drinks came in a timely manner. I love that they repurposed a firehouse into a coffee shop and that they kept some of the firehouse items like the hat, boots and jacket read more

Very cool spot! I love the warmth and energy of the staff. They have drink specials and even offer ice cream (I'll have to go back and get a scoop or two one afternoon). I tried a pumpkin spice latte, which was okay, nothing fancy. I would've liked more "spice." In the past they've had some gluten-free pastry options. They offer almond milk and oatmilk as their nondairy options. read more

They've certainly locked in a loyal customer. Can't wait to return for ice cream! read more

I was walking at Ft. Monroe recently and it occurred to me that I keep forgetting to check this place out. I went last week on a sunny afternoon. The location is nice, right near the entrance to the moat. Street parking is limited, but there are a few spots on the side and a little parking lot behind the firehouse. I noticed a sign on the back door that said you could go in that way, so I did. The decor is cute and quaint and the staff is welcoming. The place is bright and airy - it's an actual former firehouse with no doors, just plastic flaps to keep the bugs out. Great idea, though I wonder what they do in winter. I ordered an iced mocha and my goodness, it was AWESOME. There was an option to choose dark or white chocolate too! The espresso was the perfect strength, the dark chocolate was rich and the perfect combination of melted and solid. This was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had, hot, cold brew, or iced. I mean it's up there with 1. the little cafe on 17th St. in Richmond (no longer there) where I first had Illy 2. the special blend at Samantha's in Brooklyn (also no longer there) 3. everything at Blend of Buckroe (also gone) 4. the cold brew from Column 15 that one time I got it with rose syrup 5. and that glorious pingo I had at Cafe Stella in Norfolk. The service is awesome too. The mocha day was beautiful and sunny, so I went outside after ordering and was going to go back in to pick up my order, but she brought it out to me before I had a chance. The second visit was on a busy Saturday. It was packed, I was the only poc present, save one young couple, and there were no weird vibes with the service. Kind of sad that this would be notable in 2021, but it is. I went back the following Saturday and ordered a latte with lavender. The espresso was still good, and the lavender infusion was decent, but nothing beats their mocha. Every time I think about that firehouse mocha, I want to go back. :D Seriously debating it at this very moment... read more
