This is my favorite coffee shop in Alexandria! I love this shop so much that I took my husband here…read moreas his first stop in Alexandria prior to meeting my parents when he was my boyfriend! Of course I chose somewhere that I felt was the best Alexandria has to offer in an atmosphere where he could enjoy a beverage and have plenty of space and privacy to relax and unwind (he is the first boyfriend I ever took to meet my parents so the pressure was real!) This shop is located in downtown Alexandria with super quirky decor, lots of seating, and several book and game options to pass the time! I also loved the hidden notes in the bookcase that gave book recommendations. I have tried several of their drinks here throughout the years. Most recently I tried one of their seasonal drinks, the reindeer chow but asked them to hold the chow to make it a cookie butter latte with oat milk (wasn't really in the mood for a chocolatey cereal chow meal in my drink but loved the concept)! I also ordered the avocado toast. The latte was perfectly balanced, yet rich and delicious! It was also served at the perfect drinkable temp. The avocado toast was THICK and the avocado and egg topping seemed fresh. It was very filling and a nice dose of healthy protein after all the holiday indulgence! I will ALWAYS come back to this coffee shop when I'm in town especially since it holds a precious memory for me. Also, Check out the background of this shop on their website, such a beautiful dedication!

Great little place with an unexpected menu. The building appears to be a Waffle House transformed…read more We were on a girls trip and needed a stop on the way home. We walked in at 2:00pm on Sunday (an hour before closing) and we were the only ones there. The carb selections looked absolutely amazing. They made all of our keto accommodations.

From the looks, you can immediately tell it's an old Waffle House from the outside. Once you walk…read morein, definitely an old Waffle House. However, the vibe is totally unique. Nova is a fitting name. The menu is "nerdy" and the taste is explosive. We tried their Avocado Coffee. Yes. Avocado Coffee. Very inventive, especially for Pineville. There are so many amazing menu items that's creatively named (Sorry I was so caught up and being super early. I forgot to take pics except for the one site pic after the rush has cleared before another rush of people about to walk in as we were walking out). There were four of us and every plate was uniquely named and scrumptious. We aren't from here, so we are definitely surprised to experience this "big city" experience in a small town. Staff and service were amazing. The owner even came by to talk to us. Place might remind us of old Waffle House but it smells clean and looks clean. It's CLEAN. If you live within 30 mins of driving...Or even an hour.... Definitely worth a drive to come here to support great local small business owners and expect to be blown away with the creativity and deliciousness!!!!

If they had beef bacon I would ask them to add that too. It's was really good. I also decided to try their peach cobbler. Glad I did too, because it was very good, plenty of crust, just like I prefer it. I usually get it to go but stayed today. I don't know that they have ever changed the decor but it's giving 1960's segregation vibes. Even the waitresses give that vibe as well. They are professional and have never said anything out of the way.

Greeted immediately and no line. Super clean. I ordered glazed donuts and petite fours. I quickly noticed one pan of donuts looked sad and almost like yesterdays. Well that may have been what I got because the icing was already off and they were a bit chewy. Kinda buttery dough which I think would have been great. These were also the smallest donut I've ever had. They honestly were just ok. I would definitely go back because I feel like they have to be fresh and I went in around noon. Although I didn't care for the petite four I will try a few an other things next time.
