Coffee Flight!! I'd come here just for this & their Jacks = Powdered Sugar Beignets:)
Craig D.

(4) ~ very good overall food & service. Note: It's bigger on the inside (more seating) than how it looks on the outside. DRINKS: ** Coffee Flight (hot) = (4.5) Very Cool! It's worth coming here for this:) ** White Chocolate Gingerbread Latte = (4.75) Great! ** Spiced Sugar Cookie Latte = (4.75) Great! ** White Coconut Christmas Latte = (4.5) Very Good! ** Peppermint Mocha = (4.25) Very good ** "Morning After" = (4) very good aka "Red Eye", is one shot of espresso in a cup a coffee;) ** Water (tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered;) ** Orange Juice (small) = (4) very fresh FOOD: ** Jacks (powdered sugar) = (4.25) Very good, probably the best beignets I've had...reminded me of a funnel cake;) Got a side, which is three, but an order is eight. * Hash Browns = (3.75) Good, but too salty * Chesapeake Crab Eggs Benedict = (3.25) pretty good but needed some Old Bay Seasoning...and the Crab was shredded, not "lump" ***Omelets = Might try next time b/c they use Real Eggs;) ***Apple Butter (homemade) = N/A Not Available... *** Chesapeake Crab Quiche = N/A Not Available...

My waitress Shelby was Phenomenal and made the day before my birthday a memorable day I will never forget! I will be returning one day with my children so they can experience the warmth and friendly workers at Java Jack's Cafe, I want to say thank you Shelby for an amazing first time experience and the food is 10 out of 10 plus the drink I ordered is better then Starbucks if I do say so myself!

My first impression as we walked into this house-restaurant was that this is a cute little coffee shop/lunch place with friendly staff ready to assist you with any questions or concerns. I wanted to stay for lunch; however, since we only had a few minutes to spare we grabbed coffee and split. After looking at the menu as well as seeing all the people that crowded the restaurant, it appeared to be a place worthy of enjoying an afternoon meal. If given the time, we'd stayed and tasted the local flavor. Now, onto the coffee. They have all the major flavors. We ordered two lattes, with extra shots. Both my wife's and my latte came out tasting very delicious, even with the extra shots (no bitterness). For two large lattes with extra shots we paid $15, comparable to Starbucks in price and taste. Additionally, from what I hear, they have coffee flights that are truly worth the money. Overall, not a bad little place. My last impression as we left was that this IS a great place for coffee/lunch. I would love to come back for more. Enjoy! Side notes: They have a single, unisex bathroom and just like the bathroom, the outdoor seating is present but very limited.

Coffee was fabulous and the food was good. Atmosphere was like eating in a small town along a river or lake. The staff were friendly and service was great.

Friendly staff and good food. I always come here when I'm staying in tappahannock. Tappahannock needs more good places like this.

Awesome service, great coffeees and the quiche was really good. It was a little pricey for the size tho. The atmosphere is great.

Shabby chic dècor with different vintage tablecloths at each table make this coffee house a cozy respite for breakfast, lunch, brunch or a quick java jolt! I loved every detailed room! Even the restrooms had a vintage vibe! The ambiance warms you right up along with your hot Cuppa joe! I ordered the London Fog tea, Earl Grey and steamed milk which was truly unique and yummy. I had the fluffy, thick pancakes, scrambled eggs, country ham and grits. It was a hearty meal! I wasn't crazy about the grits, but the rest of the food was good! My table mates got the sausage gravy and biscuits (which looked sloppy but was tasty!) and the breakfast burrito (which she said was done perfectly, not too much onion and plenty of filling!) Food is on point! As taken as I was with the atmosphere and food, the service was a little slow... our server seemed a bit distracted, has us move to another table, and was a tad flighty. Truth be told, we didn't mind the move because we got to sit out on the enclosed porch, which was my fav room! Tappahannock has a true treasure with Java Jacks!! If I lived here, this would be my hang!!

See all

To Do Cafe & Seafood

This café has quickly become one of my absolute favorite places. It's the perfect halfway point…read morebetween where I live and where my sister lives, making it our go-to spot to meet in the middle. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is a place meant for slowing down. You can sit, relax, and never feel rushed. Every single person who works here is wonderful, and the owner is an absolute hoot. She's a ball of personality in the best way possible, and it genuinely adds to the charm and warmth of the place. You can feel the care that goes into everything they do, especially the food. So much is made from scratch from the biscuits to the sweet treats and it truly shows in the quality. The layout of the café is also really well thought out. When you first walk in, there's a seating area up front, and then another space in the back that feels like the main gathering area. As the weather warms up, the front area opens up and gives you that airy, open feeling and honestly, there's nothing quite like enjoying seafood by the water. Families are clearly welcomed here, which I really appreciate. The front area has a few toys for kids, like oversized Connect Four, and the bathroom is spotless. It even has a changing table, and right outside the bathroom there are coloring books and crayons neatly set up such a thoughtful touch. I also have to give major credit for the seasonal décor. When they decorate, they truly go all out, and it makes each visit feel special and festive. On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable, and the food is consistently excellent. I've loved everything I've tried from something as simple as a peanut butter and jelly to the seafood platter. This place has heart, personality, and amazing food. I can't recommend it enough.

Overall, we had a nice experience at To Do Cafe & Seafood. We stopped by this restaurant while…read moredriving to Va Beach because I think it was one of the few places that was: 1. no too far off route, 2. allowed dogs and 3. was open. The restaurant has a pretty low/relaxed vibe. So low/relaxed that I thought the two people at a dining table who let me know that the porch was open for service were customers. Oh! The paper place settings have little tidbits on Virginian trivia and history. For our dining enjoyment, we went with a couple of orders of burgers. I thought my burger was pretty tasty, especially with the restaurant's special BBQ sauce. Also, I thought the portion sizes were pretty generous for the price. The only very minor issue (as of March 2026) was that the restaurant did not have its liquor license, so we could not order a round of beers go accompany our burgers. Other than that small detail, we had no problem with the restaurant. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that service was pretty good, and the prices were pretty reasonable.

We happened to be in Tappahannock, VA on a Monday evening celebrating our nephew's birthday and, by…read morechance, ended up at 528 Italian American Restaurant, and we're so glad we did. We had a party of 10, and they were incredibly quick to accommodate us. From the start, the service stood out. Our server worked hard throughout the evening to ensure everything was smooth and that we had an excellent dining experience. The food was fantastic. A few of us ordered the 40 oz. Tomahawk steak with shrimp and two sides, and it was easily one of the best steaks I've had. While $120 is definitely an investment, it was well worth it, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sauce on the side complemented it nicely, the sides were delicious, and the presentation really elevated the entire dish. It's also large enough to easily feed two people. Others at the table enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the surf and turf special (ribeye and shrimp for $40), a fish sandwich, and a ribeye steak and cheese. Everything that came out looked and tasted great. They also brought out complimentary bread with a homemade dipping sauce, which was a nice touch. You can tell they take pride in their food--we got the sense that much of it is made in-house. We also tried a few desserts, and they did not disappoint. The carrot cake, in particular, was one of the best I've had. Inside the restaurant was large and looked like they could host banquet and parties. We even had the opportunity to meet and talk with the owner, Tony, and were impressed by his background and passion for what he does. Overall, we had a great experience, and most importantly, our nephew had a wonderful birthday celebration. We will definitely be stopping back in the next time we're in the area.

I live in Reedville, and eat here at least once a week. The food is always, inexpensive, good, and…read moreconsistent. They're not trying to be Le Bernardin so don't expect parmesean tuiles with your deconstructed fish sandwich. If you want a great meal at an affordable price then this is your spot. Come by car, or boat (we always stop for lunch on our way out with friends on the boat). They have cold beer, a full bar, and a screened in covered patio to enjoy those warm days. As for service, this place can get busy and everyone comes at once. So sit wherever you'd like, I can assure you the servers know you are there. It might take a minute for them to take your order, because they are just working through all the people who came in just before you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the breeze.

The wait staff were running around trying to take care of everyone and doing a pretty great job. I'm sure the kitchen staff were busy trying to take care of all the lunch orders; we did have a long wait for our food, but it was very understandable. We ordered a fish sandwich with some onion rings that were delicious, a steak & cheese, and a club. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. Overall a great local place to stop at while out boating or fishing. Plenty of room to dock your boat and enjoy some lunch before getting back out on the water to catch some Stripers.

I think she got about 3 Oz of soup, which was flavorless until salt and pepper were added in significant quantity. My wife liked the po-boy. I had a special - the swordfish - for $28 the portion was miniscule and left me quite hungry. I think there was about 8 cubic inches of fish, over a red pepper broth, and served with fried cauliflower. It also required a large dose of salt and pepper to induce some flavor.

Server was very friendly but after bringing water initially, took over 10 minutes to take any orders at all. Also took a while to come to our table each time. Scallops were cooked absolutely perfectly! However, there was soooo much salt on them that it was overpowering and made the dish not good. The corn with it was great though. The red pepper crab soup was the worst on the table, they have a lot of work to do on this soup. Ceviche was flavorless and in whole pieces of shrimp, wish they were chopped up. Can't go wrong with oysters! The lemon coconut custard was not a custard, it was runny coconut yogurt with coconut flakes and fruit on top. If you want a yogurt parfait, order this! Chocolate cake was okay, nothing crazy. Would not come back to eat
