    Some of the best coffee I've had in my life. Hands down the best coffee shop in Norfolk. A lot of coffee shops often serve bitter/burnt tasting coffee; nothing of the sort here. After trying my first drink here, I immediately walked back in to complement them on the taste. Kobros makes their own house syrups that rotate throughout the year so it's always a nice treat to try their craft lattes (check out their Instagram for the latest flavor). They'll also partner with other businesses from time to time to serve food in-house or go serve coffee at a local brunch spot. Be sure to stop by and try Kobros coffee! The owners take pride in making sure you have the best experience!

    Weekly craft latte - citrus vanilla
    Carmen S.

    Tiny little place. No frills, just a straight up coffee bar with a limited menu. This can be a good thing if the roast is excellent. This one is. They have a weekly craft latte. This week was citrus vanilla. I had it with oat milk. I honestly was scared because I wasn't sure about the flavors in a latte. I kind of hated it. I found it so gross that I nearly spit it out. The spouse loved it. I think if there had been some sweetness to it? Then it wouldn't be this weird bitter orange flavor. So why 4 stars if I hated the drink? Because I experimented with something new and the drink is well made. It didn't make me sick (no secret dairy in it). Not their fault that I didn't like the flavor profile. The spouse got a plain latte and he said it was really good. Kid got an iced latte - mocha, vanilla, lavender. The twin brothers are friendly and engaging, I enjoyed chatting with them. A little freaky (in a good way) hearing the same voice coming out of two different people. I can see why they have so many well deserved good reviews. We will go back (the prices are great, especially for the location) but I won't be so adventurous next time.

    Craft coffee (orange) and matcha
    Estephani M.

    Great customer service and drinks. I ordered the matcha and craft coffee (orange), and it was SOOO delicious. They made the drinks fast with great flavor. They used quality matcha powder and whisked it in front of us. There were plants and a cool light that looks like a plant in the middle. Definitely worth the try.

    This little hidden gem was difficult to find but well worth it. Staff was super pleasant. The place was very cute. I ordered a cold brew, pumpkin spice, coffee, hands-down one of the best cold brew coffees I've had in the area! Far as pricing goes, I feel that pricing is very reasonable compared to most coffee houses. This place is a must stop I will be back .

    Charcoal blood orange latte
    Stephanie S.

    The shop was a bit small but full of character. I loved the decor and the comfy seating. The staff was really friendly too. I knew the coffee was going to be good as soon as I walked in- high quality grinders and espresso machines, no frills on the menu but a couple specials and options for non-coffee lovers; it was perfect. I got their Spooky Charcoal Blood Orange latte with oat milk, and I loved it! My husband is a bit of a coffee connoisseur (read: coffee snob ;) ) and he really enjoyed the flavor profile of his americano. We'll definitely be back and probably buy a bag of beans too. We love finding local coffee shops that roast their own beans!

    Caffe Latte with Oat Milk
    Isaac H.

    Really great coffee! A bunch of my friends are regulars here and kept hyping it up to me, definitely didn't disappoint! I'd say this is more of "quick stop for coffee" vibe as opposed to a cafe where you can stop by, take a seat/table and get work done, etc. Totally nothing wrong with that, I thought it was actually pretty unique.

    Always fun to find small local coffee shops while traveling around. This shop was so fun to go in, menu is limited but the quality is amazing. Syrups made in house, everything made to order. You can tell lots of care goes into every order and the baristas are super nice. Love talking to friendly people that make your day start off on the right foot.

    Espresso bar and counter
    Edmundo M.

    Great espresso, great people and an amazing interior. Every time I visit I always order the current craft latte, this time was the cardamom con leche. They always always always find an amazing way to bring these flavors and drinks to life. It's quite amazing seeing how unique and original the lattes are, I cannot think of anywhere else that can really compare. The owners are always full of life and are quick to spark a conversation, they definitely took their time with their other employees because they always have that same energy with the customers. The seating area is small but makes for a personal experience while visiting. Weather it's to sit and study or to enjoy your time alone it's very calming to have a quiet place. The motorcycle in the corner is always iconic to see. Overall this is one of the first coffee shops I fell in love with when I arrived The lattes are perfect, the service is always a delight can't wait for my next order

    Nice slice of coffee cake
    Mary-Ann L.

    The vibe is distinct - badass, free spirit, masculine.... Goes with the very minimalistic bar , not a lot of froo-froo (frills).... Just 4 selections of pastries: coffee cake, croissant, cookies and muffins. I ordered the dirty chai and a slice of coffee to go. While waiting I checked out the motorcycle prop (not sure if it's working) and open shelves of coffee beans and a T-Shirt with a coffee pot as logo on the left chest. There were about 5 other customers sitting in the corner which seats probably 10 people. My phone died so no pictures. Only the to go dirty Chai and coffee cake... Coffee cake was slightly cool from being refrigerated (not freshly baked??) but it was still scrumptious and moist. Dirty Chai was tad watered down but chai aroma is there...

    L: Mocha Iced Latte with Oat Milk R: Matcha Iced Latte with Oat Milk
    Denzell S.

    I was in need for some caffeine before I head over the Chrysler Museum and I came across Kobros Coffee on a whim. I'm sure glad I did. They change their Craft Lattes every week, so I bummed to find that the many flavors that I had seen on Yelp, they were not serving. Nevertheless I tried their Mocha Iced Latte with Oat Milk and Matcha Iced Latte with Oat and extra sweet. As for pastries (unfortunately not pictures) I tried their Lavender Scone and Chocolate croissant. The Lavender looked and basically tasted like a cookie was delicious. The Chocolate Croissant was good but would have been a lot better if it was warm.

    cool hipster coffee joint. I really love coffee and the funky flavors of the week they do. I don't live close but liked the atmosphere. Not the biggest coffee joint but that made it cool. Definitely get a coffee to go and explore the area. they take credit cards and have some baked good. If i remember correctly, they sell coffee beans- WHOLE beans. Parking is terrible. street parking only. that's not fun. but the coffee is WORTH IT!!

    Blueberry lavender iced machiattto
    Maria G.

    This coffee shop has now become my favorite coffee shop of all time! I love that they make homemade syrups and they always compliment the season I.e. watermelon, peach flavor for the summer. I am bummed they don't offer decaf tho but the coffee is so smooth that it doesn't upset my stomach. They offer one size drink and for the price, I feel it's a tad bit on the expensive side. They also offer oat milk for us lactose intolerants lol and pastries. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. Coffee snobs.. please go and check them out!!

    Lemon Brown Sugar Latte
    Young K.

    I love their weekly specials. It's a great place to get your coffee for the day! This was a couple of weeks ago, but their weekly drinks included lemon and brown sugar flavors. For those who haven't been, Kobros post on their insta story their weekly special flavors/drinks for the week. My boyfriend goes here every weekend when he has the chance! They have interesting spritz/coffee mixes too.

Coconut latte - I really appreciated how this had true authentic flavors of coconut without the sugary additives that other shops use. This was a delicious drink! Goat Cheese Waffle - The sugar crusted waffle mixed with a runny egg and goat cheese in the middle was the best way to start my morning! I highly recommend this! Banh Mi - They were surely not shy with the protein in this sandwich and it was dripping in the delicious concoction of sauces from the chicken as well as the vegetable slaw that was added!
