I need 7 Brew on my side of town ASAP! I was in Newport News and I passed by it, and was shocked to…read moresee we had one! I would see it on my timeline on social media for other locations and the drinks looked so yummy. Now I was able to try it first hand! First of all the line is ridiculous. I get it, it's new and people are excited for the new coffee shop on the block. But you know what's funny, there's a Starbucks in arms distance and no one was over there! Hahahaaa. Anyways, there is someone outside taking your order, similar to like what Chick Fil A does. So by the time you get to the front, they are handing out your drink. I ordered the Cookie Butter with oatmilk. OMGeee... so yum! Definitely a treat in a cup. Not too sweet, but I could had less sweet. Maybe like 1 less pump of the syrup, so I can get more of the coffee taste. But don't get me wrong, this drink was so satisfying. I also tried their mango lemonade and that was equally as YUM! So refreshing! 7B boasts how all their drinks are customizable and I'm telling you, they are including the lemonades. The only thing I didn't like is you can't find any of their nutritional information on the order board or even online. Maybe you won't feel too bad about the calories since it's not available... maybe! lol

Here in the rain. Sat in my car for ovwr 40 minutes in the drive thru line on the outside lane…read more However the cars in the inside lane have been moving this whole time. The workers are obviously bombarded with cars in the drive thru lines, however there is no logical reason that I'm seeing as to why they seem to be prioritizing the inside drive thru line over the outside line. Overall waist of time. I didn't realize my coffee run would take an hour.

Atmosphere: cute. Wish the seats are more comfortable…read more Service: definitely a 5. They were patient with me as I was truly having a hard time picking among all the delicious sounding breakfast and lunch sandwiches! The barista was very friendly sharing her suggestions for what would be a good drink, hot or cold. Food: I'd give a 4 since my croissant was toasted more on the slightly over toasted (tad burnt on the edges) ham and Swiss croissant. They were flexible to serve my croissant with fig jam rather than typical horseradish aoili.

Stopped in while in Smithfield with friends who love Cure Coffeehouse in Norfolk so they were…read morethrilled to find one here. It is located in the historic area on a cute street with tables out front. The inside is clean, white and bright with counter seating at the window and a few small tables in the side room. They loved their coffee so it was a good start to the morning! Service was quick.

Read the reviews for this place before we went and were quite excited to get this new coffee shop…read more Went in and ordered 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches. The coffee came out fast and it was very good. The ambiance of this place is excellent. Perfect for a quiet study session, reading, or date. The food on the other hand.... wasn't very good. The wait took almost 30 minutes. And felt premade and microwaved. Which in the restaurant business and coffee shops is sure is common. But when you charge the prices they do and take as long as they did to make. I cannot rate it any higher. Would not come back for food.

Enjoyed my visit with friends here today…read more The tea set-up is beautiful when you order tea. You can have honey or milk for your tea as well and just makes for a lovely tea experience. A few friends had coffee and enjoyed their drinks! Service was kind and friendly. Inside is beautiful and has different seating areas including long tables for groups, comfortable chairs and a couch sitting area.

Friendly gal behind counter taking orders as well as the other gal who helped to bring out drinks…read more Dirty Chai drink was ok. I don't think she knew how to make the drink because when I got the drink it looked curdled due to putting the milk in when it was still hot. Bagel: ordered a bagel with cream cheese and jelly and it was good. I didn't even think to ask if they would toast it so it wasn't toasted and I wish they had! Others in our group didn't rave about anything in particular food or drink wise. It's not overly large inside about 4 2-person tables with 2 arm chairs and a bar area with about 4 seats.

The Whale Tea has been a pretty good place for Sophia and myself over the years. Going back to…read morewhen they first opened up in Virginia Beach, they've expanded to the Peninsula where they set up shop in Yorktown and Newport News where we've been frequent customers. Let's see how things have been for them lately. For the most part, our visits have resulted in great products. Each time we entered the building, they would greet us with a smile and say welcome. It has even got to the point where they recognize us. Definitely a great feeling. And the vibe around has been very friendly. Most recently, they added Dalgona Coffee items to the menu. Dalgona became popular during the pandemic for those who aren't familiar. And I can say the stuff I tried has been really good. Honestly, it's not too strong nor too sweet for my taste buds. Hopefully, it stays on the menu. There's nothing more I can add to my experience here. Great products from great people. Keep it up guys :)

We have visited Whale Tea several times and would rate our overall experience 4/5. The staff is…read morealways friendly, attentive, and efficient. It's also nice to see the availability of board games and the 10% student discount offered on Wednesdays. Our favorite drink that we highly recommend is the pistachio matcha! However, we would not recommend the creme brulee ube fresh milk, as it lacked flavor and tasted unnatural. Also to note, the drink portions are on the smaller side.

Not just a juice place! We received a big welcome when we walked inside. The decor was warm and…read morecool and very clean. All of the food was so fresh and very flavorful. My spouse and I ordered Power Rice Bowls. He had Spicy California Shrimp and mine was Grilled Honey Chicken. This place is such a little gem and we plan to return every time that we visit the area.

This place has changed a lot, and not really for the better. The music is purely rap and it's…read moreextremely loud, which makes it hard to relax or even have a conversation. The vibe just feels overwhelming instead of welcoming. The coffee has also gone downhill severely. It doesn't taste the same as it used to, and the quality just isn't there anymore. One positive was that I was offered a sample of the pressed juices, which I appreciated. That was a nice touch and good customer service. The ambiance is very, very, very dark and not really cozy. It feels more bare than inviting. There are only tables and chairs and a single couch, but the couch isn't facing the TV and there aren't any lounge chairs. If you're sitting on the couch trying to have a conversation with a friend, you basically have to turn sideways the whole time, which isn't comfortable at all. The layout just doesn't feel thought out for relaxing or hanging out. Overall, the atmosphere could definitely use some improvement to make it more comfortable and welcoming.

East End is located in downtown Newport News, which I'm extremely grateful for. There is parking in…read morethe back of the building that is shared with a couple of other businesses, but it's plentiful. It's tiny inside, but there is seating in and outside. Along with board games to enjoy among friends. I've had a couple of drinks from here but I recently had the Soft Launch Latte. Which was a berry delicious drink. The people who work here are truly the sweetest. My husband has become somewhat of a regular, and they know his favorite go-to order. This cafe is truly invested in serving the community, and we love that. Support Local.

With the both of us off on a Friday morning during Memorial Day weekend, Sophia and I drove here…read morefor breakfast. East End Cafe is a small business located in downtown Newport News. They were recently spotlighted by Channel 13 as part of their Friday Flavor segment. It was a no brainer that we stopped by to give them a try. When we walked in, we were both greeted by the staff of two behind the counter. It's a very small cafe with two tables for up to 6 people, a small round table for two and a bar table area. Everything was clean and spotless with decor all over. A welcoming spot for all that comes in. We ordered right at the counter upon walking in. My choice of beverage was a medium sized Forget Me Not (sure it was named after the song from Patrice Rushen) served iced. It's a cinnamon latte with whole milk (my choice) and sea salted caramel toffee. Also, I ordered a sausage and egg croissant and a cheese danish pastry to eat. Everything was really good. All the ingredients for the beverage came together. A little strong, but not too sweet. And the croissant sandwich and pastry really helped myself become full for the morning. A really big thanks to the staff for keeping us satisfied during our visit. We'll definitely come back real soon :)
