I think I may have found my favorite coffee shop! Since I've been in to matcha lately, I decided to stop by Pinup Coffee Cafe to try their Matcha Latte. Pinup Coffee is located in a beautiful area in the Traditions at Sherwood Lakes plaza. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and since there were a few people ahead of me, it gave me time to look over the menu. I knew I wanted a Matcha Latte so I ordered that and Illeana convinced me that I should try the Peach Beach Matcha, which was Matcha Lemonade with House-Made Peach Syrup, Vanilla and Coconut Milk, so I did. Once the drinks were ready, I decided to enjoy them on their outside patio, which overlooked a lake. It was very beautiful and peaceful out there. Both drinks were amazing! The Matcha Latte was made perfectly. I did have them add a pump of Brown Sugar Syrup but it wasn't overly sweet. The Peach Beach Matcha was fantastic. I hate that it's seasonal drink because I could drink it all year round. Pinup Coffee is great and Illeana was super sweet. I can't wait to return to try some of their other coffees and pastries! If you're in the area, definitely stop in!!! read more

I'm from NJ but discovered this brand a few years ago on a trip to VA Beach. When I saw they had a cafe open, I had to try it. I truly LOVE pinup coffee beans so it pains me to even leave a 4 star review which was still quite generous. The aesthetic is super cute - love the work stations. It's beautiful on the lake. The tables are made from an 1800s farmhouse which is super cool. This was my first time at the cafe. I got the witches of pungo pumpkin spice latte with oat milk and whipped cream. The whipped cream was amazing and clearly homemade. The actual latte was super strong and had a thick texture - not sure if it was from the espresso or the syrup. It was the same with my husbands mocha. No matter how much I stirred. The pumpkin flavor was very light too. The maple pecan scone was good but very light in flavor and barely warmed up. Husband didn't like the bacon cheddar scone. The Apple cider loaf (not pictured) had very good flavor but very dense. I would come back here next time I'm in VA for regular coffee and will absolutely continue to buy their beans. read more

I was visiting family that lives a few minutes away from Pinup Coffee Cafe. Took my nephews on a food outing and got caught in a torrential downpour, remembered that Pinup was open until 4 on weekdays and decided to try it on the way home. That said, we arrived with about 20 minutes to spare. I had noticed on Yelp that they do pour over coffee but I didn't want to ask for something time consuming at the end of the shift. The extremely nice and professional staff member insisted on making the pour over and said that she likes making them. It certainly showed in the quality of the coffee. On her recommendation, I went with the Tail Wind beans and was glad that I did. I've drank a fair amount of pour over and this ranks towards the top. That's because I was able to taste the various flavors and that's not always the case with my palate. Truly a delicious cup of coffee. My nephews enjoyed a blueberry scone that they heated up nicely and the Salty Texan coffee beverage. Almost forgot to mention, it's a relatively new shop as of summer 2026 and it's absolutely gorgeous! Sizable and stylish. Great seating options and a view of a lake, hard to beat these aesthetics! I will certainly look to return when I'm back in the area! read more

Tried using their app to order but it wasn't working certain pages were glitchy and wouldn't let us order items so we ordered at the counter. Pretty pricey. However, we could've shared the breakfast burrito. Was very good. Coffee was good. Very clean, including the restroom. Nice atmosphere. read more

I had a strong single experience at Pinup recently. I had tried them before, but unfortunately they were closed. They opened up their new location at Sherwood around 30 days ago. Parking is plentiful in front of the strip of stores. No debris was spotted. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by counter staff. A nice young girl was prepared to take my order. I had just got a sandwich at neighbor TASTE, so was only looking for a coffee. I first utilized the restroom which was clean and had proper supplies. It's in the rear of the room. I decided to look around prior to my order. The rear has seating outside by the water. The interior has high ceilings and concrete floor. A nice couch space is there along with a group table. The central item that pulls everything together is the Pinup bulb sign on the wall. I returned to the counter and ordered a pour over coffee for $6.50 utilizing the "Slightly Dangerous" beans.. I met the female roaster that filled me in on the business and history. She was super helpful and had strong customer service. I n needed my coffee to go unfortunately as I would have loved to enjoy a cup in their comfortable dining room. I was able to watch my pour over which was cool. The disposable cup was both unique and quality. Unique in that it had a built in insulator that others use and they slip off. A really tasty coffee and so glad I checked them out and will return for a food item. read more

I planned and looked forward to spending my Saturday making a visit at the new Pinup location. I was super excited to try it as my favorite food truck assisted with curating the food menu. The space is a gorgeous breath of fresh air with stellar seating outside facing the sparkling water. I instantly could hear Miley singing "This is the lifeee hold on tight" in my head The staff and owner were incredibly sweet with a positive and welcoming vibe. I ordered the seasonal Earl Grey Dream latte iced and my friend ordered the Lavender Garden Bubbly. Both drinks were delightful and I could taste the quality of the coffee in the latte. I love a coffee that doesn't have too much milk or sweetener so this drink was nicely balanced and fit my preference. For eats I ordered us the Tiramisu French Toast and the Breakfast Burrito to share. Both were served beautifully on nice plates. You can tell a lot of effort and detail went into everything which a type A girly like myself can truly appreciate. The French toast was not only nice to look at but it was thickkkk, soft and well balanced although I would've loved an even stronger flavor of espresso to shine through. I also loved the seasonal fruit that accompanied the plate including fresh blackberries, grapes and pear. If you have a free day to relax and enjoy the little things in life or just have a good yap session this the place to do it. I'm excited for the next time I have a chance to visit and try something new. read more

Pinup Coffee Cafe was such a cute little breakfast spot and I'm glad we visited! I think this location just recently opened up so we went right when the open end at 7am and good thing we did because there was barely anyone there so we could really enjoy the vibes. By the time we left (around 8am) it was definitely getting busy and crowded! It is a seat yourself kind of deal so just be aware of that! There's plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor so I'm glad there's options. We started off with the iced matcha latte, it does not come sweet I was told so I ordered mine with coconut syrup. I'm pretty picky with my matchas and like to taste the matcha taste. Unfortunately this one didn't come through as much for me, it was more coconut than anything. I think next time I'll just try it with like brown sugar or something. It was still a refreshing drink though! My husband enjoyed his "slightly dangerous" coffee pour over (he's not super picky lol). As for the food it was so good!!! I got the avocado toast which came with caprese, burrata, roasted tomato, basil, olive oil on I think sourdough and I was impressed! I don't typically comment on like the bread but I loved that the bread it came on really had some flavor! It was super filling and refreshing and topped off perfectly with some flaky salt. My husband loved his sandwich as well and said it was so delicious. The cookie we got was enormous and we had to take half of it home lol. It was a little too chocolatey for me, I kind of wish there was more cookie to balance out how much chocolate there was, however I also got it because the chocolate appealed to me lol. Just didn't expect the middle to be almost pure chocolate. If you love chocolate chips, you'll love this cookie! I would probably try one of the other bakery items next time I go. Overall I really liked this place and would come back! For all 5 items we spent about $50 which is a little pricier but the quality was def there. Would highly recommend if you're in the area! The views are stunning :) read more

Pinup Coffee recently opened their new location in Pungo in new construction storefronts. At the time of my review they still had soft opening signs. It's seat yourself, ordering was smooth - go to the counter and they will take your number and text you when your orders ready. Coffee was pretty good! Not as good as the other location, might be a one off. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors with an aviation theme. We didn't get food but it all looked really good. The staff seemed to be all over it, no complaints and honestly couldn't tell they just recently opened. Edit: We will be sure to check out the other offerings on our next visit, 4.5/5 overall experience, considering it's a soft opening I will visit again in the coming weeks and update my review. read more

Absolutely loved this spot. The coffee was smooth, fresh, and honestly one of the best iced coffees I've had in Virginia Beach. The location made it even better, sitting by the water on a beautiful day with a drink was such a vibe. The staff was super friendly, service was quick, and everything felt really welcoming and relaxing. Definitely a perfect little coffee run spot for sunny mornings or afternoon drives.

Just tried Pinup Coffee for the first time--they've only been open a few weeks--and it's already clear this place is going to be popular. It was pretty crowded when we walked in on a beautiful Saturday morning, but we were helped quickly and the service was genuinely friendly across the board. The coffee was excellent, and the food did not disappoint. I had the banana muffin, which was honestly one of the best I've ever had. My son ordered the avocado toast, and while it's $15, it's absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is a big win--especially being right on the water. Between the setting, the quality, and the service, this is an easy repeat spot. I'll definitely be back. read more

My husband and I moved from CA almost three years ago in Va Beach. We stumbled upon Pinup Coffee in 2024 at The Farmhouse -- as we searched on local coffee shops in the area. Since then, we just keep on coming back! Coffee is amazingly good -- combination of high quality and freshly roasted beans. Their baristas are the greatest, too!! Special mention to Jaime, Jordyn and Molly. When we heard that they're opening a cafe at Sherwood Lakes, we just can't wait to go and try. The place is so clean and very modern. My husband and I had our usuals: Iced Flat White with cold foam and Hot Vanilla Lavender Latte in oat milk, respectively. From the Kitchen: my husband had the Pinup Breakfast Sando and I had the Tahini Caesar Chicken Sandwich -- so delicious! Moreover, before we left, I had the Lavender Garden Bubbly to go -- so refreshing!! Great location, great coffee and great food! Last, but not the least, friendly baristas. read more

I had a great experience at Pinup Coffee and will definitely be back! One of the things I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find a comfortable spot whether you want to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. There are also several areas designed for working on a laptop, which creates a welcoming environment for remote workers and students. For food, I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it was delicious. It was filling, flavorful, and made for a great start to the day. For my drink, I got the Graham Cracker Shaken Espresso with oat milk and extra syrup. It was absolutely fantastic. The espresso is strong so I do recommend the extra syrup. Overall, Pinup Coffee offers a great combination of quality food, excellent coffee, and a comfortable atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a place to enjoy breakfast, grab a specialty coffee, or spend a few hours working, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

I've waited until I've been here a few times to review. I came during their soft opening a couple months back and got a pistachio latte and avocado toast to go-- so amazing!! Came back on grand opening with my husband who got the li hing mui matcha and the breakfast sando-- he said the drink was phenomenal!! I had the banana bread cold brew and avocado toast again-- still a knock out!!! Best avocado toast ever!!! The burrata on top is so good! I've now come a couple more times and have tried the lavender garden bubbly drink and it was so good too. The coffee is so good, the espresso is strong (which I love) but not burnt tasting like others. The staff is incredibly friendly and the vibe both inside and outside is good!! I almost don't want to recommend because it'll get too busy... lol. But it's really a great addition to this side of VB! I'm looking forward to many more lattes and avocado toasts!!! read more

All around good experience. Lots of choices for drinks and foods. Good choices of drip coffee and overall positive .

The avocado toast is so good. try it. It's got burrata and olive oil on sourdough with heirloom tomatoes read more

Pinup Coffee Cafe - Avocado Toast is so good - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

It's a really nice place. The food is good, but a little pricey. The decor is wonderful and sitting out back on the pond is the perfect place to enjoy some food or a delicious beverage. The main problem was our lattés were luke warm. Hopefully it's just newer barista, but I was bummed out. Their chocolate chip cookies are humongous and amazing. read more

This cafe is truly outstanding! They really know how to make espresso drinks. Our cortado & cappuccino were perfect. Their food (avo toast & caesar chicken sandwich) was delicious, with generous portions. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. And the location, on the edge of an artificial lake - with plenty of seating indoors and out, was lovely. World class! read more

I stopped here today because the new location looked beautiful and it didn't disappoint! The employees are cheerful and kind. The food is amazing and their coffee options are super fun. It was really lively and the seating was perfect, especially outside on a warm sunny day. lots of people were with friends and family while others were working or studying, it provides the perfect environment for both! I will definitely come back. The pastries are also five stars. read more
