    Catfish platter $15
    Jazz T.

    4 stars because it's a cluster, no reservations, doesn't pick up the phone, the wait times are ridiculous & not enough space for parties waiting. IT'S SMALL I tried to call in my order but I got the voicemail almost every single time. Finally, after calling about 10 times I got through and placed my order. They told me the wait was going to be about 15. It was about a 10 min drive and when I got there, I still had to wait. There wasn't space for me to wait so people thought that I was waiting in line each time they walked in. It's super busy, but super small. I waited in the restaurant for my order for maybe an extra 20 mins. So, the wait time was 15 but I waited about 30 mins total. I ordered the catfish platter with fries. They definitely seasoned the catfish and fried it hard. The fries were thick cut and seasoned, but they weren't fried long enough. 3 fish platters cost $50. I would try this place again, but maybe a lot earlier in the day. Because this place is very inconvenient.

    I am so glad I went here this morning! Best breakfast, great cocktails, boozy coffee, amazing staff, interesting menu, clean and crisp dining area! I just felt like needed to lay out the highlights right away. So much of this place made me smile and happy. I got a Bloody Mary well maybe two, alright three geese. Jess my serve was on top of her game, beautiful, sweet, and foresight full. For my entree I was served crab cake egg Benedict! Sooo amazing. I did get a side of bacon but to my surprise I was so full from the eggs Benedict I couldn't finish the bacon!? I unfortunately did not try the boozy coffee but I will next time definitely. Don't miss out on this wonderful Williamsburg gem!

    Absolutely love this cafe in Williamsburg. The food is always so good. I had the catfish & cornbread that was a special for the day. My favorite was the apple cider mimosa.

    Wow if the crowd and the wait are indications of how great the food is, then might as well give a 5 star without ordering, It also helps they were recognized for 2024 Coastal VA choice. Located in a shopping complex with just steps from the Movie Tavern. This location is accessible with ample parking. Seating is available inside, on patio and at the bar. Even for a person walk-in, the wait is more than 20 minutes at 12noon on a Saturday. You heck in and your name and number are taken so they can call you when seating is available. I finally got seated at the bar. Noticed that they not only spray/clean the counter but also the bar stool - kudos! Jessie at the bar was friendly and personable. Lots of cocktail and coffee offerings! Everyone seems to belong to a happy team, interchangeably having each other's backs from calling the waitlist, to bartending, to making coffee. I ordered the Morning After Burger. It was a toss up between that or shrimp and grits, both were marked as favorites. I was able to substitute French fries with fruits, no issue. The burger was delicious. Definitely worth the long drive from VA Beach! Oh, I ordered the tower carrot cake and it was good!

    When in Williamsburg you need to stop in! Nicely decorated small and cozy. They have an extensive selection of lattes and Coffees and they have a full bar with signature cocktails and shooters, snd by the way the huge list of lattes can come with liquor to give it a punch! So good! I had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel. Simple but was so delicious. The bacon was the surprise. Cooked to perfection. Avocado toast has lemon juice chili flakes with 2 fried eggs amazing. My one suggestion is if you get there early it's a very popular spot as it can get very busy and now you now why.

    Crab cake burger
    Euni B.

    Deceivingly small establishment from the looks of the outside. Sat at the bar due to the wait. Too cold to sit outside. If you have a a large party this place is not ideal. Name plays off the selection of coffees and alcohol. I tried the almond joy latte which tasted just like the name but I'm not sure if I loved the coconut flakes in it. Ordered crab cake burger which was okay. Being picky ... the tomato slice was very small and thick cut. And the lettuce ... well you see the picture. My friend ordered the deviled eggs. Not impressed with that either. The filling was very runny and looked like they rushed the order. She also ordered the fresh pork rinds. Also subpar for being fresh. Some were so crunchy it was uncomfortable to chew. The staff were all VERY friendly. Possibly return for a drink but maybe not the food.

    Shrimp and grits with Andouille sausage gravy.
    Michael J.

    Stepped into this little cafe on a weekday morning and was immediately blown away by the upbeat atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. I ordered shrimp and grits for breakfast and it was everything I had hoped it would be and more. Grilled shrimp, a delicious Andouille sausage gravy, and perfect, creamy grits. Fair prices too!

    This place is hopping!! We stopped in to kill some time before our Neverland Escape room adventure.. We ordered the Peanut Butter Puddle, the Funky Monkey, and the White Chocolate raspberry lattes. Service was slow but friendly because it was crowded but we had some time to burn.. It was chilly inside even with my coat and sweater on. Nice place to stop by!!

    Sunday morning my wife, son and I went here around 10 am. We had to wait about 40 minutes to get a table. Not much space inside so we were sat outside and said it would probably be an additional 25 minutes to get sat inside. As for the food there's no kids menu so my 6 year old got the cat fish breakfast which came with eggs added cheese, toast, and stone ground grits. Grits have a great texture but need salt and pepper. Maybe they don't add anything because some people like sweet and some savory. My wife had the meat lovers omelette, added spinach and mushrooms. Also came with home fries and toast. She enjoyed it, but I like my home fries crispy and she likes her more soft so they were perfect for her. I had the chicken and waffles, chicken was well seasoned and juicy. I ordered the seasonal lemon waffle which was the highlight of the meal for me. I wish it came with an additional side of eggs or grits but nonetheless I ended up ordering a side of grits which again needed salt and pepper. For drinks I got an espresso martini, could have been stronger but it was ok. My wife got the butterscotch latte with almond milk, she thought it was just ok as well. Overall the bill was about 87 we tipped 20% so we spent a little over 100$. A good experience. I think if you live in Williamsburg it's a nice place to go. Judging just by the food it was really good.

    HIDDEN GEM ::: Place so nice we had to visit twice! Prior to visiting Williamsburg, Virginia, I went on to Yelp! to bookmark a few places for us to eat during our vacation since I've visited Williamsburg a plethora of times in my lifetime and all they seemed to have was a bunch of Pancake Houses which close early and Commercial Restaurants which stay open late. I wanted to be sure I was overly prepared with an arsenal of restaurants for us to choose from which did not fit the pancake house and commercial restaurant mold. So glad Yelp! led me to Tipsy Beans Cafe! It was about a three minute drive from our hotel AND THEE BEST bite during our week long stay in Williamsburg. Tipsy Beans Cafe is quaint BUT mighty! They have a small indoor area with about 10 four top tables and some bar seating. They have an additional maybe 5 four top tables outside. They offer a vast menu of food and drinks and the entire menu is served ALL DAY-that's the breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and dessert-ALL DAY! They also have Happy Hour DAILY! Do you hear me, that's daily 3p-6p SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS INCLUDED! Oh, and not sure who had the aux and whose playlist that is playing in the background but baby I need them to AirDrop me the playlist STAT! Y'all can thank me later! Again, so nice we had to visit them twice! All food is made to order and made with love-you can tell who's working in that kitchen baby! Again, thank me later! Our first visit was a Saturday morning for breakfast and our second visit a Sunday afternoon for a snack/happy hour prior to going to see a movie. On our first visit, we had chicken and waffles, shrimp n grits, sweet tea, and chocolate milk. Them tenders that accompanied the chicken and soft pillowy waffles, chefs kiss, seasoned to perfection-you will see in my pics. Sweet Tea, was perfect for me! Shrimp n grits-shrimp PERFECTLY cooked and seasoned. This bowl of grits was unnecessarily huge to me because it led to the shrimp/grit ratio being off but tasty nonetheless. Our second visit, my son had the Sweet n Spicy brisket tacos which he demolished alongside the Rocket Pop Mocktail which others in the restaurant began ordering after seeing them bring it out to my son. We also had the garlic parm wings which came with a side of seasoned fries. While the wings had a great taste and an amazing ranch on the side, I hated that the wings were breaded then fried. It was not what I was expecting nor wanting so I was thrown off by it, but made the best of it. The glass of Riesling I had was also refreshing. My mouth is watering writing this review. So much so, we may have to visit for a third time today before we head back to Baltimore tomorrow. You're welcome! Cheers to a great time!

    We loved stopping for breakfast every time we are in town. The food is always great- cooked great to perfection. The service is great. The extensive coffee menu is a caffeine lovers dream.

    Jody M.

    This is a cute little cafe and a great find. The coffee is what caught my attention on Yelp. They have so many fancy flavors and syrups to chose from. They also have a full menu of delicious meals including breakfast and lunch entrees. My BLTA was so good!! My mom got the club sandwich. Both were delicious.

So much to love about this new discovery besides the fact that it's NOT a Starbucks lol and for those that know me, you know I love and love to support and discover tucked away indie coffee places (see my reviews!). This place is also a roastery and sells their own bean blends. I don't know the history behind the shop and name but was told it is chemistry themed and owned by W&M alum - yassssss! Service is SUPER friendly and excellent so that's a bonus! I lovvvvvvve that the latte menu is chock full of super creative seasonal flavors - so many to choose from!! I stopped by twice while in town and staying just down the street. Had a hot Rose Macaron latte and the next day had the Lemon Bar. Both were DELICIOUS. NOT OVERLY SWEET BUT WITH SUBTLE FLAVORS AND BOLD ESPRESSO TASTE. NOTTTTTT WIMPY WEAK. Both days I had the OG Bacon Egg Cheese sando on an ET bagel that was a decent accompaniment to my seasonal lattes which were clearly the stars of the show. I was there during the week - once mid afternoon, the other day late morning and it was not crowded at all both days. The seating area is HUGE. 2 separate adjacent rooms - walk through the front ordering area and you'll find a large, super cozy and inviting "living room" type space with comfy couches, armchairs, dining tables with chairs and even cubes for studying. Dark and moody vibes. SUPER COZY, RELAXING AND KEPT VERY CLEAN AND TIDY. The other seating area has a bunch of tables and chairs, lots of windows, brighter and more conducive for gathering. I took and posted a bunch of pics and some vids so check them out. So glad to have discovered this coffee spot and gem! Will definitely be back when I visit Williamsburg again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
