Super cute spot for brunch. The coffee smell got me right away. I ordered the big kahuna breakfast sandwich. Delicious and hot. My boyfriend got a cold turkey and ham sandwich. It was huge! Also very delicious. We also both ordered the craftsman smoothie. The peanut butter taste strong and yummy ! Worth the trip Small parking but there is some ! read more

Just scrumptious! I visited Java Surf Cafe & Espresso Bar after making myself a list of coffee shops I wanted to visit as a form of self-care for myself. This was the first one I visited and WOW did it deliver. I was able to sit inside (rainy day) with my book, and order breakfast and coffee. I got "The Frank" AKA the everything bagel with lox and capers, paired with a coconut hazelnut cappuccino. Now let me tell you, I am from Jersey so bagels are hard to please in my eyes, but this bagel met my standards! The bagel was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, the lox was fresh and the capers were perfect. I know everyone thinks the first sip of their coffee is euphoric, but THIS. SIP. WAS. EVERYTHING. The coffee was rich and flavorful, no short of putting a smile on my face. Overall, my experience here was great. The service was everything you would need, the food was delicious, the coffee amazing. And to top it off, the music playing was upbeat and sort of not what you would expect from a coffee shop, but it fit very well. I would bring my girlfriends to this coffee shop any time they visited. read more

The perfect toasty crunch to the outside pairs perfectly with its warm gooey inside. The service excellent and informative considering we walked in at near closing time! The Big Kahuna is definitely something my girl and I will be back for! Seriously perfect crunch to the wrap....mind blowing read more

We have enjoyed this spot many times in the past. Yesterday we decided to stop in and have a few morning cocktails. We ordered at the outside tent and decided to get a bottle of Prosecco with juices. We paid and found an outdoor seat. A different server came by and brought a bottle of the J. Roget with juices. We brought the bottle back up to the order station and told the cashier that we ordered the Prosecco and not the one that was brought out. There was no offer to correct their mistake or even to pay the difference, just a slight sorry. We even noticed another gentleman had a wrong drink given to him and they made another and gave him both. Before long our table had over 20 flies and we had to down our drinks and leave fast. Plus there was a random smear of something on the wall close to our faces. read more

There is ample signage to direct you where to go. We ordered on the side with a kind and upbeat hostess. The drinks came quickly. But we didn't wait very long for the food either. The food was better than it looked on the menu, and it looked good on the menu! The ingredients were fresh, cooked perfectly and nothing was too soggy or watered down which happens with breakfast wraps sometimes. The chef(s) clearly know what they're doing. read more

Roaches folks. A bunch and big. The girl who helped me out yesterday was great which is where the one star goes. But everything was sub par and then roaches on top of that. Yeesh read more

I had the turkey & bacon croissant and a hazelnut mocha latte, 2 days in a row! Perfect both days. I got my husband & son modified versions and they both loved it. This was right beside where we stayed in the vibe district. Yummy place read more

Coffee was good. Nice outdoor seating for cooler days. Pretty busy. Reasonably priced.

I LOVE Java Surf. I've been coming for years but haven't been for about two years because covid/I moved. Went in the morning for the first time in two years and wow have they grown! I'm so so happy for them. I've met the owners before and they are beyond nice, such a lovely family. But I will say I was a little disappointed today. The servers were nice but clearly over worked (I know it's hard to find staff these days). One girl was screaming customer names across the outdoor seating when there were only two tables at the time. Our food was tasty (The Frank) but it was not as high quality as it used to be. Not enough cream cheese or lox and the onion slices were a little too big to actually cover the bagel in bite sized pieces. Glad to see a family owned business become to successful but please don't forget quality and that service will suffer if your staff is over worked! Peace and love to the owners read more

Really rude owner. Waited 20-30 minutes for my food and asked for an update & was met with a rude response about how they're busy and I have to wait. Then the owner came out with my food 2 seconds late & said no one could find me so it's just been sitting up there even though I was right outside in the outdoor area waiting. Horrible customer service. Was shocked. Also the breakfast sandwich was $16..... never coming back. read more

We really enjoyed the stop today. Of course we were particularly hungry for real food just having come from the convention center and probable alternative of overpriced junk food. The staff was very friendly and it had a new-gen feel mixed with the beach/surfing feel. Food was fresh and unique making this a definite return trip. The salad was very fresh and tastey and the son seemed to really enjoy his fruit and yogurt parfait laced with honey and granola. The Cortado was the closest I've seen to an authentic Cuban Cortado... well done. read more

Came here looking for a good cup of black coffee and unfortunately Java Surf did not provide. Incredibly underwhelming and the "notes" did not come through at all making it less complex than Folgers.‍ Ambiance is a little chaotic inside but the outside area is a neat social setting! Barista's were not rude per say but a little stand offish and uninterested, which maybe I'm a little too extroverted but a friendly server makes a big difference for me. Won't be back but glad I tried it out! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! My husband and I have been coming here since they were a new cafe in their old location. Java Surf has always had outstanding breakfast food and coffee drinks. I must say, though, that since they've moved to the new location, I am much more likely to visit. The service is much quicker now with the larger staff and expanded kitchen. There is also more room for the guests. As always, the food is great. It's simple and I like that. The menu size is just large enough for a fair amount of variety. My husband and I have both liked everything we've ever tried there. Also, I don't typically venture away from plain coffee (because I like it), but this is one of the places I am compelled to order a latte or cappuccino because they are pretty much irresistible... for me, at least. Give them a shot. I'm willing to bet you will find something you like. read more

My siblings and I were leaving Comicon (located at the Pavillion) and we had a blast. After three hours of walking around booths and meeting our favorite characters we were starved. I looked on yelp what was nearby and Java Surf Cafe popped up on the radar. Their previous location being tucked away on 25th street. I wanted to try them again and saw in disbelief their whole place was gone. Glad to find that the whole time they were building a bigger, better, and even brighter location on the corner of 19th street. A max of 5 vehicles in their parking lot, you can park on the side of the street. Theres a little stage in the corner that takes up a little of lot. Surrounded the lot is this beautifully painted mural with intense colors and an organic design. Kind of makes you want to to stand in front of it and say "hey take a pic of me in front this!" The exterior of the building is a bright orange with open glass windows peering natural light inside. It's hard not to miss. We went inside and even the interior had more charms. Shark-boards swimming above on the ceiling. Vintage belt-driven ceiling fans, reminds me of the machinery you would see in an assembly line. We were immediately greeted by our server and she sat us near a booth seat next to the window. I ordered the Funky Monkey $7 for the kids (peanut butter, nutella, banana, and fruits all wrapped in a whole grain tortilla). I created a wrap with turkey, feta, spinach, avocado under the "Make Your Own" section for $7. The kids really enjoyed their meal. I ended up finishing my entire wrap because I was hungry. The food was fresh and tasty. Even the owner greeted us and asked how everything was. Will definitely be back. read more

The place is cute and has a nice aesthetic. However, they took absolutely forever to get us our food. Everyone else in front of us and behind us was served first. The smoothie was nothing to write home about either. I will not be going back. read more

My gf ordered a Coconut Blondie Latte, just to try one for the first time, and it was amazing! I hate coconut, but even I am quite enjoyed it myself. We also got two plain croissants, which were toasted and came with strawberry jam. All around a nice little place to get a quick snack when you're trying to find that farmers market. read more

First place I decided to try in Virginia Beach. It is about a mile off the beach and on a quiet spot. The place has a surf motif and an interesting vibe. I ordered my usual latte and was pleased. They use beans from Charlestown which smelled fresh. The shot was poured very slowly from legit equipment. My milk was textured a little on the foamy side more like a cap but the barista was able to pour a little art and it was served in a ceramic traditional shaped coffee mug. The drink was good. Relatively smooth with a Kona flavor. They also offer breakfast (menu) and have a small selection of t-shirts for sale. Overall, for a beach spot this was very good. I didn't expect much given the humid conditions here but they have a good thing going and I would recommend it if your looking for a real, non chained coffee shop. read more

Omelet was delicious. The vanilla latte I ordered was presented beautifully and tasted just as good! The service was amazing! Wonderful little cafe! read more

Why do I constantly go here? The drinks are pricey and the food is not that great, but I cannot stop going. I love it. The ambiance is just so relaxed and comfortable. I could (and do) hang out for hours. I always have the after taste of baking soda after drinking their lattes. read more

Obviously there are a bunch of different places you can eat at in Virginia Beach but this was our favorite location. The staff was very friendly, the menu had a nice selection, the food was very tasty, and the coffee was brilliant.

Met my niece here for breakfast. Great place! Tried two of the coffees. The medium roast coffee (sorry they had a special name for it, but I forgot) was very very good. I had the custom breakfast sandwich which was very good. I got it in the wheat tortilla and they grilled it. Yum! One suggestion: Have the waitresses carry a pad to write down your order. Even though the waitress came back and asked me a second time what I wanted on my sandwich, it was still wrong ... but very very good. read more

So, I tried this spot with two of my friends and upon arrival, we were greeted and our orders were taken (you can order inside if you use a credit or debit card) by a friendly employee. I ordered the Lifeguard and was excited but my expectation fell short due to the food being bland. Also, I ordered the Burnt Caramel Latte, it was strong and I did not taste the caramel. Overall, the place has a good vibe, friendly staff, and a clean atmosphere. I would try it again but would look into their other food options. read more

Holy smokes y'all! This place is so yummy! I got the lavender white mocha coffee and "the Frank". I was really excited to try the lavender white mocha because I love lavender,but wasn't sure how it was going to mix within a coffee. When I tell you this is the best coffee I have ever had I'm not lying! So yummy and so light and not very heavy with the chocolate and just a touch of lavender to make my morning coffee on my off day even more relaxing! I am really particular about my Lox bagels and this one (the Frank) had just the right amount of onions and capers so I got some in every bite and it's LOADED down with salmon which makes it worth the price and even better! I didn't get a picture because I ate it so fast! 11/10 would recommend this place to everyone! Try the lavender white mocha if you love lavender! Seriously so so good!! I ordered on door dash and I really appreciate the team writing my name on the bag with a little thank you! Just goes to show their dedication for each customer!(even the ones who ordered online) read more

Unfortunately this place went down hill. They were out of almost everything or didn't have what was on the menu, didn't have any of the alcohol breakfast drinks, ordered a flavored iced coffee and was given just a plastic cup with ice to pour my own coffee in it. What kind of Java cafe makes the customer pour their own iced coffee- better yet what iced coffee is just hot coffee poured on ice. They also don't have non-fat milk. I was given a choice of almond, oat, or half and half- which means no matter what I'm up-charged for any latte. I come here everything we visit VA Beach- won't be coming back next time. read more

I love this place! The food is great and staff are nice. The only advice I would give is if you need a quiet coffee shop, this isn't it. The music is loud inside so it's not good for work or school. It was a nice fun place though!! read more

We came here for lunch on a weekday. It's a really cute place and we were seated right away. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was nice, but the food was just ok. It wasn't bad and it wasn't good. It was basically flavorless. Now I think perhaps they made an error on my Legacy Wrap because it was supposed to have a balsamic vinaigrette and it didn't. Perhaps if it did it would have been more flavorful. Maybe they left the balsamic off on purpose because it was not vegan and I wanted my wrap made vegan. In which case I'm happy that they kept my food vegan but maybe they should have a back up plan. My wrap also contained hummus and it literally had no flavor. My husband had ordered the Market Wrap, and he commented that his was flavorless also. But it did fill us up and kept us within our eating principles, so that's good. read more
