Sweet baby Jesus this place is one of the good cafes! (pun intended! See image!) I saw that this was Veteran owned and wanted to swing by after a long walk around a beautiful park. I ordered the Iced, CHEST CANDY: White Chocolate and raspberry, and to say I was in love with it! I had to order another one after I left and walked around for 5 mins because I may have drank all of it before I got back to our car! My husband ordered the Blueberry Bang Tea and you can taste the lightness of the blueberry and tea, I'm not a big tea fan, but this one is pretty good! Husband loves it! Very smooth, light and delicious! We will definitely be back! P.S The muffins were also delicious! (They had chocolate ones out and they were sooo soft!) read more

Delicious latte of the week, it had white chocolate and cinnamon, called Ladder Crew....it wasn't too sweet or lacked flavor, it was on point and just what I needed. I know, I know, do better yelper lol. I was in a rush so I didn't get any pics other than of the latte of the week. They have plenty of seating for either a place to work (free WiFi) or catch up with some friends. They have different coffee blends (whole beans or they can grind for you) and associated merch for purchase. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I look forward to coming back. read more

Pale Horse Coffee - One of the best lattes I have had since being in the 757. IMO - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This coffee shop is so cool and it kind of pulls on the heartstrings when I look at all the patriotic memorabilia on the walls and around the shop. Pale Horse Coffee is owned by retired military who I thanked for there service. Inside, the line moved pretty consistently with averages of 10-12 people waiting to order and pick up their beverages. For food, they only had some fresh made egg burritos pre-wrapped and in a warming display and a few fresh baked muffins. Their coffee selection and flavors to add are pretty tremendous and if you love coffee, you'll love this place because their service is so warm and friendly, just like their beverages. They offer free wifi which makes this place a great hang out for humans and their furry friends. On the morning that I stopped in there were 3 of the most beautiful and well behaved golden retrievers waiting patiently for their dog bone treat while their people waited for their drinks. Many other people were having business meetings and working remote. There is outside seating as well as plenty of seating inside and just as many electric outlets to keep the technology charged while the body charges from their delicious coffee. Parking is also free for up to 2 hours in the garage behind the shops. This is a wonderful well run coffee place! read more

As I was out running errands on a Sunday morning around 10am, I decided to stop by Pale Horse Coffee. Since there weren't any street parking, I parked in the free, parking garage nearby, which was very convenient. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and encouraged to take my time looking over the menu. Everything sounded great but I decided on an iced Rip Cord which was a toffee & cinnamon latte. I requested almond milk and it wasn't a problem at all. My coffee was made in no time and tasted amazing! The toffee and cinnamon paired wonderfully together! I absolutely love this coffee spot! The staff were super friendly and it has quite a large seating area for those that want to sit and enjoy their coffee, there's a few outside tables as well. The next time I'm in the area, I will definitely be stopping in to try one of their other amazing lattes! read more

"Stay caffeinated. Stay angry. Look unapproachable." -Pale Horse Coffee From 06:30 until noon, Pale Horse was my "office" and it was awesome. Fantastic coffee, a comfortable space and great wifi. Easy parking and a huge indoor space that was quiet and had all that I needed including two cups of amazingly delicious drip coffee. [Review 914 of 2025 - 1503 in Virginia - 24470 overall] read more

My new favorite drink at Pale Horse Coffee is The Guardian. It has delicious salted caramel notes in it and is smooth and tasty. I love coming to this coffee shop and sitting at the bar type seats by the window. It's a relaxing and refreshing ambiance. Staff is quick and polite. Place is organized. I love the vibe in here! read more

We stopped by Pale Horse Coffee recently to enjoy our favorite lattes. My Wife likes the Osprey, which is espresso served with peanut butter flavored syrup. I like the Wart Hog which is espresso served with White Chocolate and a touch of cinnamon. The staff here is amazing, friendly and fast! I highly recommend this fantastic coffee shop! read more

I only very recently checked out Pale Horse coffee but I've since been back 3 times this week! I'm happy to support this veteran-owned business and get my coffee fix at the same time. This location is in Summit Pointe off Volvo Parkway and is on the strip between Wasserhund brewing and Luce Secondo. They have a couple of tables outside for al fresco coffee enjoyment, and they have been occupied each of my visits so I usually grab a nearby bench to enjoy my latte. The interior is spacious and welcoming to both small and large groups. They also offer retail items and bulk coffee for purchase. Their menu offers the standard espresso orders, both dark and medium roast drip coffee and a number of specialty lattes. I have tried both the Warthog and Osprey and really enjoyed both, but the Warthog is a favorite so far. I appreciate that they also offer decaf espresso and have a variety of milk options. They have weekly specials for those who love to try something new. On each visit, service has been wonderful. The staff has been welcoming and kind and answered any questions I've had. I've also never waited more than 2-3 minutes for my orders, even on a busy Saturday. I really enjoy my trips to Pale Horse and have found a new favorite coffee shop. Skip the Starbucks (char-bucks) and support local business! read more

The inside is very spacious. I didn't find the seating super comfortable though, it's basically a metal chair or by the wall a ledge. Perhaps some pillows or seat cushions would be nice. I just went with a normal cappuccino. If was good and pretty strong. Staff was super nice and the coffee came out quickly. Nice place for a coffee . read more

I really wanted to like Pale Horse Coffee, but their coffee was mediocre and their vibe is so cold. They have an industrial look going on, and it isn't cozy. I wouldn't really meet someone there again, as it was loud and uncomfortable. The service was fine, but they seemed rushed. Generally, when I'm going to a coffee shop, I want to feel more warm environment rather than cold and uninviting. read more

Great service, great coffee, great ambiance and overall location, will be back today!!

Pale horse located in Chesapeake is a good location to meet up for coffee and conversation. The coffee is fresh and delicious, it also depends on who makes it with an extra touch of love. The staff, especially the weekend staff is friendly and hospitable. I wish they will offer a dark chocolate mocha or syrup to add to the flavors. read more

What a great coffee shop!!! Upon entering, the employees were so friendly. They have an extensive menu of coffees, teas, and other options. The coffee was amazing! It had a smooth taste, not bitter or dark. I had the Sugar Free White Chocolate Mocha syrup with half and half. It was served very hot and was a nice size portion. Wish we lived nearby-we would definitely go back! Highly recommend. read more

I love Pale Horse Coffee house! In a great location next to a free two hour parking garage (make sure to park on the first floor). Baristas are kind and helpful always! Usually not too packed and a good place to sit and chill, read, or have meetings. Coffee and tea here are delicious and have a smooth taste. I haven't had any of the baked goods but they look fresh. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Coffee here is strong and im fine with that. The service is always quick and everyone is super friendly. No complaints..

I stopped at Pale Horse to get a coffee. Been awhile since I have been there. This is by far the best coffee I have had and Grace makes it perfectly. Occassionally I would stop at Starbucks but it would never taste as good as Pale Horse coffee. Now I understand it is because it is the COFFEE that makes the difference. Haven't been to Starbucks since. Thanks guys! Dave read more

We entered this place and enjoyed the ambiance right of way there was comfortable seating arrangements. The staff and service was professional and prompt.

Great coffee shop conveniently located at The Summit in Chesapeake. I ordered the Guardian (hot), it was a delicious blend of caramel and vanilla. Not overly sweet, just enough! Service was excellent and the shop itself is clean, welcoming, and inviting. read more

Found this coffee shop on Google Maps during a visit to the area, and what a great coffee shop. The vibe is very pro-military considering it was founded by a group of veterans who put country first, coffee second. The coffee is fantastic and I also like that they donate to organizations, such as the Navy SEAL Foundation, and support active duty military members, veterans, first responders and their families. I don't feel bad paying $6 for a cup of coffee when I know my money is supporting a great cause! Their merchandise is also pretty great! read more

So I have been to the other Pale Horse location in Great Bridge. This review is for Pale Horse in Greenbrier. Today was my lucky day since they have the Slick (Something Something) latte which has shortbread, maple syrup and chocolate! It was delicious. For the latte, straight up beyond 5 stars. Just indicative of their creative concoctions. I also got their cinnamon bun to go, which was okay when heated up 30 seconds in the microwave and then you pour the sugary sauce/topping. The bun was soft but slightly lacked the cinnamon taste. I give it 3 stars. Will definitely come back to try their latte of the day. read more

I love supporting local coffee shops over Starbucks, any day! But what I love even more is when said local business is a veteran owned business. Especially one that knows how to make a good coffee. Just take my money and thank you for your service! There's plenty of on-street parking in the surrounding area. Inside, you'll find ample seating - so bring all of your friends, and theirs too, there's enough room, promise. And for the antisocial ones, they've got you covered with free wifi. Kids? Sure! Room for them too. You can even catch a glimpse of the "roasting in progress" room, kind of like the fascinating display when watching donuts being made at Krispy Kreme, but it's better, because it's coffee, and well, coffee is life. Don't challenge me on that statement. I played rugby in high school, and I tackle dirty. No challengers? Excellent. Glad you feel the same way regarding how important coffee is; no talkie before coffee. Staff were friendly and gave me the rundown of what food was available at the time; the full coffee menu was on display on the tv behind me. With so much choice, I asked for a recommendation, to which I was presented the "Special Ops" Mustang latte (cookie dough flavored latte? YES. PLEASE!) I usually drink my coffee black or get a double espresso with milk, but sometimes I like to treat myself. I also appreciate that if I wanted just a splash of almond milk in my espresso, it wouldn't cost me a kidney like at Starbucks. $0.35 for a splash, $0.75 for my latte - as expected, consistent in all coffee shops. Yelp friends, if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Support local. Support your vet owned small businesses. And support your coffee addiction with a Pale Horse coffee, you won't regret it. read more

Pale Horse (PH) has expanded and they just opened their second location at Summit Pointe in Chesapeake. My husband and I had just had brunch at the new First Watch just across the way and wanted a drink for the road, so it was the perfect opportunity to check out both new spots in the same outing. This Pale Horse location is a bit smaller in size than the first one and also a bit of a different vibe, but I like it! They've utilized the space well. The merch and order counter is to the right, and the space to the left is dedicated to seating and is super spacious. Behind the service counter is a mural painted with "Pale Horse" and the seating area has framed flags of the different branches of the military adorning the walls (FYI, this is a Veteran-owned biz). They have bright red chairs (my fave color) and gives off a brighter, more modern vibe. They seem to be dog-friendly because at the time of our visit, there seemed to be a meet up of Golden Retrievers. My husband and BIL are fans of PH's coffee, but when my SIL first introduced me to PH, I had their Iced Chai and I've never looked back. I don't know what their secret formula is, but it's one of my fave chais in CoVA (so far). They have a coffee of the week, so look out for those. The service was friendly too! It's nice to see locally owned coffee shops expanding in a sea of corporate chain ones. Stay safe, Friends! read more

Another location ?!?! Stumbled on this location for pale horse while trying out different places on the coastal coffee trail, and so glad we did! I had been to the other location and really enjoy their coffee, and this place has tons of seating, good music and great coffee! I got the weekly flavored cold brew (salty caramel), black and my husband got the kinetic and both were super tasty! I've got quite the coffee buzzzz! Great customer service. Cute items to buy, including shirts, mugs, coffee, etc. Owned by vets. Can't wait to come back with my laptop during the week and settle in for a bit! read more

The coffee was very good for the area. Not sure you can find a better coffee in Chesapeake. The muffin wasn't bad but if I went back I'd certainly try the cinnamon roll. It looked so good, I regret not getting it. My only main complaint is how forward there political views were. Some people enjoy that but it's not for me. It's totally the right of the store owner to make that decision, just as it's my right to make it known, that during these very divided times I'd rather not go somewhere that is so politically driven. read more

I heard great things about Pale Horse, so I thought I'd make the trek over here. So glad that I did! Inside, the space is large and airy with plenty of tables and seats. Seems like a nice place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee while studying or working on your laptop. I love the names on their menu: "fast movers, close air support, special ops, extra rations, M.R.E.'s, etc." I think that's really cool..lol I asked for a drink recommendation, and was told to try their Death By Chocolate coffee. This was a great choice! I took it to go, and as I drove, the rich chocolate aroma emanated from the cup and filled my car..lol This was a nice find! I'll definitely be back to try other drinks! Love that Pale Horse is veteran owned and operated! :D read more

Stopped by as part of the 2023 Coastal Coffee Trail and so glad the Trail brought me to this coffee shop. It's conveniently located just off Volvo between Battlefield and Greenbrier so you can make it a part of your outing from several different areas. I just finished another activity and wanted a drink. It's in a new-ish development with apartments up top and shops below. There's easy short-term street parking so I've never had a problem finding a spot. Inside has plenty of seating and some local merch on sale as well as their begged coffee. It's all whole bean but the baristas are very friendly and willing to grind if you need. I've been recently introduced to London Fog tea latte and it was feeling like that kind of morning. They brew fresh and so it takes a few minutes more than other drinks but we'll worth the wait. Great smoothness, slight sweetness, and hint of earthiness make this a wonderful spot for this type of tea. I've been back a few times now and I will definitely swing by when I'm the area. read more

I'm a business traveler and I've been to a lot of coffee shops and I randomly found this one and wow, was I impressed. The shop was super clean and the staff were attentive and friendly. I did not get any food but I did get one of the signature lattes and it did not disappoint. The WiFi was spotty and I need that for business purposes when on the road but I will be back the next time I pass through the area. read more

There is nothing i do not like about this place. They open early during the week and I've never been disappointed with the taste of their coffee/lattes etc. They have 2 locations now! Which is exciting! Both places have plenty of sitting areas! Merch available to include coffee beans, socks, shirts, mugs....etc. One location has street parking and free garage parking and the other one has their own parking area. Highly recommend this place! read more

Veteran-owned with modern,simple decor. Coffees and teas and a few snacks. Because I was about to do some driving, I was in need up something to wake me up. I got a Flame Thrower: Kinetic. 4 shots of espresso, cayenne, caramel and vanilla. Don't be afraid of the cayenne; it's not overwhelming. If you love their coffee, grab a box of K-cups/pods so you can enjoy at home, too. read more

I came here on a Monday afternoon for a quick pick me up. It was a holiday and yet they weren't too busy so this made me happy. The young lady behind the counter was super friendly when greeting me. I told her I wanted something along the lines of an almond joy and her eyes lit up. She told me she made one just earlier today and the customer loved it. I gave her the thumbs up to go ahead and make me one. I'm so glad she did because it was delicious! It was an iced almond joy with oat milk. The area is very spacious with high vaulted ceilings that gave a functional yet aesthetically pleasing vibe. I'll definitely be back to try more items! read more

The coffee was delicious and the names of the specialty drinks are too funny! Lots of seating, very clean, nice staff and quick service!!

I was a little hesitant to stop in here after grabbing lunch at Neat Bird because my visit to their original location on S. Battlefield wasn't very good - coffee or service-wise. But I wanted to give this locally owned coffee company another shot. Glad I did, because my mocha latte here was delicious. Probably one of the better lattes I've had from a locally-owned shop in Chesapeake. Unfortunately, they were out of all of their baked goods, so I was unable to give them a try. I really like the setup and vibe of this location. The staff is super friendly. It'll be a really convenient spot to pick up a tasty latte when I'm in the area from now on. I could actually see myself grabbing a spot to do a little work while I sip a coffee and gobble up a muffin. Here's to hoping they'll have those baked goods next time! read more

Two years later, and we're still absolutely in love with this place! Both locations offer a fantastic atmosphere, strong branding, and unique merchandise You're always greeted by amazing people. They are deeply committed to supporting our first responders, military, and local community. If you're a fan of flavored lattes or coffee with bold, infused flavors, this is your spot. We use their coffee at home and for large events at our church. Supporting local businesses is so important--so stop by and say hi to Amanda and the team! You won't be disappointed! read more

Very average coffeehouse. Ingredients are bottom shelf products in my opinion. For example, torani brand syrup and grocery store sweet cream. Lots of seating though, a good place to study or catch up with a friend. Music could probably be turned up a notch or two for a more cozy atmosphere. Also, if you're not a overly religious/military fanatic/pro law enforcement type of person, this place will definitely give you weird vibes read more
