    Fabulous decor, smoothie, & a lavender honey latte.
    Nicole W.

    I just got to Cape Charles & was absolutely dying for a latte. I stopped here & ordered a lavender/honey latte with a strawberry banana smoothie, a breakfast sandwich, & a smoothie bowl. Everything was fantastic! The fruit was super fresh with the bowl & the customer service was top notch. Also, super cute little cafe. Loved the calming decor.

    We stayed at the attached hotel and the Almeta offers a small complimentary breakfast to hotel guests (fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, granola, cereal, orange juice & coffee). We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast as well as ordering some extras! The cashiers are so kind and really made your morning! I got the smoothie bowl on day 1 and really loved that it was on a bigger bowl so the ratio of smoothie to toppings were better! The next day I got avocado toast in sour dough and added bacon! We also got iced coffees every day, my favorite was the honey lavender! They have tables for couples and families as well as a very cute bar seating by the window. We enjoyed the convenience of this breakfast spot but I did think it was a tad pricey.

    Chicken salad sandwich

    The owners of Sawdust Road in Pungo and Battlegrounds in Great Bridge announced their opening of another sister coffee shop/cafe on the Eastern shore - The Almeta. I've been huge fans of both for a long time, of course I had to pay the new place a visit when I was in the area. The service was polite, but not overly friendly. They had several options on the menu for both food and drink. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich and the orange hibiscus drink. The sandwich was pretty good! Not the best chicken salad I've had, but good enough to satisfy my empty stomach after a bike ride. The drink was perfectly refreshing! I would go back if it were convenient, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

    Cortado.

    The ambiance is wonderful, several seating areas, comfy chairs, reg tables and bar seats. I ordered. Cortado and an espresso. The glassware they used is very nice and appropriate for the drinks. Did not try any of the food. The espresso was way too dark (it tasted burnt), not my taste. The service was okay, not exceptional. I noted that the girl who helped me took a break from cleaning the floor to take my order and make my drink, she did not wash her hands first. Food handling no-no.

    Avo toast with pickled onions, pick and tajin.

    The salted honey latte was sooooo good. We also got the breakfast bowl and the avocado toast with pickled onions and tajin. The atmosphere is great and the food and coffee even better. High recommend.

    Coconut mocha
    Rachael K.

    I will be dreaming of this coffee until our next trip to Cape Charles! It was so good! I got the coconut mocha and my husband got the blackberry bramble latte. We both agreed it was one of the best cups of coffee we've had... and that's really saying something as we are big coffee people! We also got the 'house Becky'- bacon, egg, and cheese bagels. Very good! I'm a big fan of the chipotle aioli they put on it.

    Fiesta bowl

    Me and my girlfriends came here after we discovered that the coffee house was closed for the day. We were skeptical after visiting once and how expensive it was but decided to give it another try, and I wish we hadn't. One of my girlies had a hair in her food, and when it came out the second time it was not made the same as the first time. The bacon was frail, skimpy, and did not even taste good, not worth the extra $2. We got Nutella toast ($9), only one piece. Same with the avocado toast which was $11, you are not getting your moneys worth when you come here, and you have to buss your own table which i usually wouldn't complain but when it's this expensive I don't think that should be a requirement. Would not recommend and it's sad to say this because I'm a local and always looking for some good breakfast. I will say their coffee was not bad.

There is an opening just outside with some picnic tables. Parking is located on the street. But, you can totally walk there if you wanted, since Cape Charles Main Street area is small and manageable. Service was great. The two younger girls helping me choose items were fantastic. They seemed to care and help They have delicious shortbread offered in various flavors. I have never had coffee flavor before, and that is unique. They also had chocolate chip, cranberry orange, lemon, and original. Those are the flavors I remember. I purchased a peanut butter cookie and that was so good! It had a nice soft center with a slight crispy outer edge. The peanut butter flavor was strong but not over powering. I will definitely be purchasing more flavors in the future. Pair it with a delicious coffee or tea and your set. They offer other baked items and offer a few sandwiches. I have never eaten them, but I have seen them. They look appetizing, and they are jam packed with ingredients. Their hours will fluctuate during different seasons, so be sure to check into their hours before visiting.

    If you're spending a day on Virginia's Eastern Shore, Cape Charles Brewing Company is absolutely…read moreworth a stop. We popped in for a casual beer break, and it quickly turned into one of the highlights of the day. The space itself is gorgeous! It's open, airy and designed with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Cape Charles perfectly. You order both beer and food inside at the counter, which keeps things easy and low- key. I went with the Pilsner, and it was exactly what I wanted, perfect after a day out exploring. Their beer list has something for everyone, whether you're into lighter options or something with a bit more depth. We didn't order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. They've got plenty of options like burgers, nachos, and other brewery favorites that definitely seemed worth trying next time. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There was so much going on in the best way. They had a dog adoption event happening outside while we were there, which added such a fun, community-driven vibe. They also host live music and other events regularly, so it feels like there's always something to check out. The outdoor space is huge and perfect if you're with a group or bringing kids. There's a fire pit, games like cornhole, and plenty of room to spread out and hang for a while. Definitely the kind of place you plan to stop at for one drink and end up staying much longer. I will be adding this to my must visit list anytime I'm on the Eastern Shore.

    So, a burger costs $18 and comes with fries…read more A side of Fries alone is $7. A side of onion rings is $8. However, if you want to substitute onion rings instead of fries it will cost you $8 extra, making it a $26 meal. So really you're just buying a side of onion rings and also not getting the fries. This is not a substitution. This is buying more and getting less. Please tell me how this makes any sense!?!? I gave quite a bit of push back along with some real life number crunching... but the employee could not seem to understand the lack of logic that, based on their menu prices, an onion ring substitution should be more like $1, and not $8. This is adding 45% to the cost of the meal which is absurd. This is not a surcharge, it's just buying onion rings and also not getting the fires that come with the meal. I wasn't going to pay $26 for a burger, so got the fries which were actually amazing, but not what I wanted... and the burger just was okay... but I can't seem to get over their lack of understanding that this makes no sense. Just write no substitutions if you don't want to bother catering to your customers! I was a tourist heading home from a mini vacation and REALLY craving onion rings, this venue made me super grumpy for no good reason except stubbornness and lack of math skills and reasoning and customer service. Not impressed.
