    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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)

    Stopped by when I was nearby. I looked for anything with tea and this popped up. I've been meaning to try their other locations and was surprised to find this newer shop. It's conveniently on the corner of E Freemason and Granby and is clean, open, and very relaxed. I walked in with a lull in the line so I chatted with the staff about tea options. I've been trying tea lattes and was interested in the houjicha, since I had no idea how to pronounce it. As a roasted tea, I was immediately interested and skeptical The staff were super awesome and encouraged me to try it, saying I could get something else if I didn't like it. This is the type of service that makes me confident in what they're selling. So I ordered the houjicha and knew I'd like it. And I did!! It's an amazing full nutty flavor with the barest hint of matcha, if you know the taste. I am in love with the drink and desperately looking to see if anyone near me offers it too. Great location, exceptional service, and very chill vibe is what I remember and will come back for!

    The Wi-Fi worked well and the workers had nice personalities. The prices were a little high and they could use some plush seating.

We opted to get a whole pizza and went for the Brisket and Blue which had fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, smoked beef brisket, basil, pickled red onion, and green chili jam. The pizza was incredible. It had a great bite, slightly crispy, super savory with a touch of sweetness and the brisket was the savory star of the show. I added a bit of red pepper flake and it took it from a 9 to a 9.5 dare I say 10. I highly recommend checking this bakery out whether it's something as simple as a cookie or croissant or the whole pizza. There is something for everyone.

I ordered the Monticello breakfast sandwich (with sausage, egg, cheddar, arugula, and a delicious aioli on an English muffin) and their Brown Sugar No. 05.
