Stale as heck, dehydrated and dry burrito.
A Rose D.

I really wanted to like this place, but I feel misled by the high ratings. Maybe I visited on an off day, or perhaps the reviewers are college students who haven't experienced great food yet. I ordered an egg burrito, and unfortunately, it wasn't made to order. The lack of care in scrambling the eggs and wrapping them in a fresh flour tortilla was disappointing. The restaurant was empty, yet what I received was a microwaved burrito. Wrapped tightly in parchment paper, it was extremely hot, but when I opened it, I realized it had been frozen, quickly defrosted in the microwave, and then tossed in a pan. The burrito was dry and stale definitely not worth the $9 price tag. It was small, almost like a hot pocket. I won't be returning to this place. Coffee was okay.

Im sorry I hate when coffee shops say cold foams can only be put on certain drinks... isn't being able to curate the drink your customer is asking for a part of the experience? Was told the pumpkin cold foam couldn't be placed on matcha. But Whats stopping you from doing it? Too strict in here.. like come on whats with the restrictions on using cold foam??? Let people get their festive matcha in peace. Had to change my whole order.

Horchata latte
Casey P.

Cute, clean vibe with plenty of space to hang out. Service was patient, kind, and super friendly while I took my time looking over the menu. Tried their So Long Summer specials--the iced horchata latte was just okay, but the cold brew oolong tea was floral, refreshing, and definitely the highlight. I'd come back to try their coffee next time.

This location is a super cool spot! Clean and spacious interior. I got a White Lotus latte, which was delicious! The barista helped me decide, and she was absolutely right. I'd definitely return to this location and get this exact drink again.

Just okay! Parking is right on Granby so be prepared to parallel park and potentially have to pay the meter! We came on a Sunday and parked in a 30 minute loading zone to quickly stop in for some coffee beans and coffees The people working were extremely nice and very welcoming! We were choosing some coffee beans as a gift and they were able to explain what types of beans they use in store. We got a 10% discount for 'older' beans which is nice to know that their stock is continuously rotating and they keep track of that kind of stuff. I got a cold brew + milk and sweetener. Unfortunately, this missed the mark for me. The cold brew was sour and acidic, perhaps it wasn't extracted long enough or the coffee was too coarse when soaking. Not a coffee expert but just my two cents! I would recommend their lattes which are a lot better and the flavors better balance each other out I also got an iced matcha latte and was happy that they are one of the few places that use quality matcha and a matcha whisk. I do like my lattes on the sweeter side so I will request a flavor or something next time. Overall, I would still recommend Three Ships but with the warning that this is not Starbucks or Dunkin, their coffee speaks for itself and the additional stuff will come... additionally.

The coffee is pretty good I must say. Did not provide me a sleeve and it was very HOT. Service is zero... no hello, no goodbye, no nothing. NON EXISTENT. Ambience seems like it has potential to be pretty good, was my first time and honestly the coffee is good but I will NEVER COME BACK. Not welcoming at all, no customer service touch whatsoever.

Stopped by the sister location of the original Three Ships Coffee in Norfolk this morning for a couple drinks to go. I was a little surprised to see how busy they were, given they rarely are whenever I do stop in. The service, however, was quick and on point, so no complaints there. I do prefer the original spot at the beach, though. The high ceilings and colors inside make it seem much more industrial and a little less warm. The coffees, though, which are what I was there to get, were great as expected. I do wish they would have their coconut cold foam. I've been three times in the last couple of weeks to both locations first thing in the morning, and they have always been out.

Beautiful location on Granby St. for a modern coffee house! I love the artwork inside. It reminded me of Loki and Miss Time. lol. I made it in time to try their holiday menu before they ended it. So I got to try their gingerbread latte and egg nog latte. The egg nog is pre-maid with milk so if you have dairy-intolerance, then don't get it (like me). But I did order that for my brother who really enjoyed it! I liked my gingerbread latte but felt like I didn't get much hints of gingerbread. I think what really sticks out to me is that they make their treats from scratch and they are ones that we know we'll like pop-tarts and an oatmeal cookie sandwich! I love the way they present their iced lattes. From their brand's label to the vintage black and white straw... it's a vibe. My daughter got a chocolate chip cookie. It was huge and tasty. She enjoyed it so much that I didn't even get to try it. They were busy when I went therefore, I waited about 10 minutes for our drinks. I wish the service was a little faster but what can you do when it's a busy day?! There is modern-like seating by the window. But not plentiful. Most seats were taken when I was there. I have been talking up this cafe to my family so I definitely recommend it to those who end up reading this review! Enjoy!

I asked for a dirty chai latte. I'm not sure if it was because the chai was too intense or the oat milk was too strong, but something didn't taste right to me. The service and vibes were great. Highly recommend if you want a place to study or do some work. There is street parking, but you might need to park at a garage one block from the cafe.

Vanilla Latte
Isaac H.

Overall a good experience!! This is apparently their third location and I like that it's situated where it is. In the heart of downtown Norfolk, so many other places to shop/eat/explore/etc. Good luck finding parking though.... I had the Vanilla Latte and the Breakfast Burrito. Vanilla Latte was great, super light and flavorful. Not gonna lie, the breakfast burrito was just alright - it didn't taste bad at all but it definitely could've meshed all the ingredients together a bit better, and the small size of it threw me off. Not a bad meal but definitely could be worked upon more. Service was great! It was my first time there and they were understanding and helpful in my experience. There are only 1-2 workers at any given time, so please be patient with them.

Stephanie S.

This is such a cool place in the heart of downtown Norfolk! They have merchandise for sale, including a pour over gadget. I got one of their Valentine's specials with Maraschino cherry cappuccino . It was really smooth. I also tried their oatmeal cream pie, and a vegan gluten-free muffin. The service was stellar. The barista took the time to answer my questions. I'll be back as they have so many options to try, especially their breakfast burrito.

Small af iced vanilla latte

Only pro to this place is they get your drink to you pretty quickly. As someone who will spend too much on a coffee, this place is way too pricey. Also, no nonfat milk options only nut. And no caramel. $8 for this tiny iced vanilla latte. (No my hands are not giant)

I had gotten…read moremost of my gifts at VA Goods in Selden Market, but I was looking for one last thing to wrap up my gift giving! I decided to take a trip to the retail location of Rich Port Coffee down the street from Selden Market. The retail location is located on the corner of the ground floor of the office building at the corner of West Main Street and Boush Street. It offers all the wonderful coffee drinks, cold bevs, baked goods and some merch like popcorn from Puerto Rico and hand painted coffee percolators. Rich Port Coffee started out as a wholesale roaster in Selden Market (where the roastery remains) and then they opened the retail location last year. - Parking - There is metered parking on the street and various parking garages nearby. Don't quote me on this, but there may be free parking spaces in front of Boush Street. - What I got - I was looking for a bag of their roasted coffee and at the time of my visit, there were 1lb bags of roasted whole bean coffee from El Salvador, Colombia, adn Puerto Rico. Since the owners are from PR (hence the name, Puerto Rico = Rich Port), I decided to get a bag of the PR beans, because that is not a country you see very often. They are in different colored bags and have cute little flag dots to identify the coffee. Since it was whole bean, and not everyone has a coffee grinder, Mia, the owner, offered to grind it for me. This was super nice and convenient, as they have a way better grinder than I do! The bag cost be about $20, but at the time of this writing, they are running a special, that if you buy a 1lb bag of coffee beans, you get a free 12oz drink. Since it was 88F today, I opted for an iced mocha and it was just the afternoon pick-me-up that I needed! Rich Port Coffee is a little hidden, but conveniently located at the corner by Todd Jurich Bistro and the Nauticus! Stop on by as they have awesome drinks, goodies from small local businesses like Smores Amore and others. Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!

In addition to the Lanikai, Voyager boasts a menu of different drinks that are reminiscent of Antone's homeland of Hawaii. They also specialize in nitro cold brew and have canned cold brew that you can purchase and take home. The interior, while small, has a cute and rustic feel with few cool seating areas and an outside patio if the weather is nice. All in all, Voyager is a great place to grab a cup of coffee with a friend or to stop by before starting the workday.

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 :)

What a pleasant surprise!…read moreI was welcomed upon entering and the cashier was extremely helpful with what to choose for my first visit.

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!!

Battlefield Boulevard, just outside the Great Bridge section of Chesapeake. Having visited their Summit Pointe location before, we were pleasantly surprised by just how spacious this café is. The Great Bridge location offers plenty of comfortable seating, making it an ideal place to meet friends, catch up on work, or simply relax with a great cup of coffee. Their retail area is also much larger, featuring an impressive selection of branded T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, coffee beans, and other merchandise for those who want to take a little piece of Pale Horse home with them. We arrived just before the Saturday morning rush, which proved to be perfect timing. No sooner had we settled into our seats with our lattes than a group of nearly thirty people walked through the door. It didn't take long for the shop to become a lively gathering place. Despite the growing crowd, the atmosphere remained welcoming and unhurried. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to enjoy your favorite espresso drink or simply stopping by to grab a coffee on the go, Pale Horse has created an environment that encourages you to stay awhile. In addition to an excellent selection of coffee, espresso, and handcrafted lattes, they also offer a variety of fresh baked goods if you're looking for something to enjoy alongside your drink. One piece of advice: arrive early. Word has definitely gotten out about this place, and it's easy to see why. Even if you happen to visit during a busy period and have to wait a few extra minutes, the quality of the coffee and the friendly atmosphere make it well worth your patience. Pale Horse Coffee continues to prove that great coffee is only part of the experience. Comfortable surroundings, friendly service, and a welcoming community are what keep people coming back--and after this visit, it's easy to understand why. !
