Whether it's boba tea, smoothies or coffee, they rarely disappoint. Let's see how things turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. Like many times, the decor was spotless and the vibe calm There were a few customers inside either dining in or ordering takeout. We knew what we wanted before entering so it took no time to order. I selected one of their Spring items, Brown Sugar Rose-Berry Freshmilk with brown sugar pearls, in honor of cherry blossoms for the State of Virginia. A very good drink indeed. Not too sweet and full of flavor. Some of the pearls did get stuck together (they were served hot after all), but it was no problem. Thank you once again Joyu for having us feel comfortable with much needed drinks. You'll see us again soon :)

Um YES PLEASE!!!…read more This was a last minute decision to stop when we were on our way back from the farmers market and BOY am I glad we stopped in! Buckroe coffee was one of the best coffee shops I've been to in quite some time, too bad it's on the other side of the water from our house! Walking in you can tell it was once a bank, LOVE older buildings and stories like this! The atmosphere inside was amazing, there were all different types of customers enjoying conversation, working, and just enjoying time in their 3rd place. I ordered a blended mocha frappe. PERFECT on the hot day! My daughter ordered a lemon & white chocolate latte and it was one of the best she has had (and like her mother, she does love her coffee and is VERY picky) My husband went the non coffee route and ordered a Mango smoothie and found it refreshing and finished it in the car on the way home. If you are on the hampton side of the water I highly recommend you stopping at Buckroe coffee. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to head back up to the farmers market so I can stop here again on the way home :)

I substituted oat milk in my crème brûlée latte and it was a great substitution without changing the taste of the drink. Not too sweet. My breakfast sandwich was nice and flavorful. Croissant crispy and light, cheese nicely melted. I would have liked my bacon consistently crispy but it didn't take away from the quality or taste at all. Now the açaí bowl...wow! As soon as I lifted the lid, I could smell the fresh fruits. It was a great balance of fresh ingredients. This was my favorite item. Great value for the price and I can't speak enough on the freshness of the ingredients. 100% returning!!

The cardamom was very pleasant and I am appreciative of how well it shined through! I also got the "great smokey mountain" I think! Breakfast sandwich. To my personal taste for a simple breakfast sandwich it was a bit on the high side for price - around $11 but it does taste good! Options of croissant or ciabatta bread. Non dairy options are available! I personally am not inclined to return due to all of the ai generated content. Pangaea should invest and support local artists and creators and uplift the community surrounding them. They would likely get more support overall! I am an artist myself and could see so much potential in -ai branding! Thanks!

I'm giving 3 stars because I know the potential for this place to be great is there, but…read moreconsistency is key. I've had Amy's Bánh Mì before when my wife brought it home and it was really good. The first time I had the roast pork banh mi but it was sitting so I had to warm it up and of course re-warmed up food isn't always the best but the flavors were there. The next time she brought home the egg rolls, and I was hooked! So yesterday I was in the area and I decided to go there for lunch. I tried calling twice to place my order ahead of time but no answer, no problem, I'll just order in person. The owners were very nice and welcoming. You can tell this place is authentic, we spoke about catering an event in the future, I definitely felt the hospitality. I ordered two orders of egg rolls, a roast pork banh mi and a matcha milk tea. It maybe took about 15-20 minutes for me to get my order... while I have no problem waiting for good food, I do expect it to be fresh if I'm waiting. Sadly this wasn't the case. I wanted to try this as soon as I got in the car. The egg rolls were crispy but look warm. The roast pork banh mi was not warm at all. The pork was roasted at one point but not at the time of my order. When you order roast pork it's for the crispy pork skin, the skin was crispy whenever it was made but not when it came to me. The meat was dry as if it had been sitting from the day(s) before. And the matcha... way too much matcha, it was very gritty and herbal. But I was hesitant to get that instead of my normal Thai tea so I knew I was taking a chance on that. In conclusion, I will be back because I know that this place can make amazing food. Both dishes I had, the flavors were on point but this day it just didn't hit like it should've. I've been to Eden center in Arlington, VA and had a roast pork banh mi before, I know what it should be and this wasn't the same. I've had their egg rolls before after they've sat and they were fresher than the ones I had after receiving my food five minutes ago, respectfully. I'm only spreading awareness to the owners and this is not to tear them down or defer anyone from trying out this establishment. No other Vietnamese restaurant in the area is offering the authenticity that they do. This was just my first personal observation, I encourage everyone to go give them a try!

There was a baby shower happening while we were there, so it was a little loud, but it didn't take away from the experience. It's a charming spot in an equally cute, walkable neighborhood. Great place to stop for brunch, coffee and something from the bakery case.
