    Coffee is great. House made syrups and specialty drinks. Not too sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food very solid and yummy. Service was exceptional and the coffee art of the barista was on point. TY

    Came here with my friend for a coffee class which was so insightful. This class was about coffee brewing 101 and all the factors from temperature, to water to vessels used. I learned quite a bit that was unexpected. For example they sent Norfolk tap water to France for testing and it received great ratings on its cleanliness and lack of particulates. After the class I spoke to the staff before ordering a drink. They close at 2 and it was almost that time so they were out of the drink I initially wanted to try. Instead I tried a blueberry lime espresso tonic which was different and I enjoyed it. (I have even started making them at home). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall I recommend this shop it has a nice open feel and positive vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also sell their own coffee blends, they roast beans in house and make their own syrups from scratch for the drinks.

    Great coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the atmosphere and seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking can be a challenge in the area when busy. Check out The Bakehouse at Chelsea next door. Great pizza.

    Big space!

    New coffee shop! Whoop whoop! I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk, and it was the best one I've had yet. It is very clean in side the cafe and a very nice vibe. Highly recommend people trying it out. It also is very convenient to get pastries from the bakery next to them and then get coffee here! I definitely will be coming here everytime I visit norfolk. I personally also like the merchandise and their logo.

    Delicious Ethiopian pour over!

    Went in for an afternoon pick-me-up and was was FLOORED by this pour over! The baristas were insightful, and didn't mind explaining the flavors and process to me. The coffee was unbelievably good, and I can't wait to go again for another cup! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone from the employees to the other customers were friendly and it felt like a good place to be![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]With the doors open, it was such a light and easy-going mood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll certainly be back this week for lunch to try the food, it looked great!

    I decided to visit Vessel because Ceremony was doing a pop up bar this season and it was very enjoyable. Watching Chris craft a non alcoholic cocktail was pure art. I also grabbed a breakfast sandwich from Vessel, which was amazing. The sausage, egg and cheese on brioche was top tier. The buns were nicely toasted, the proportions were right and the good music was flowing. If you're looking for a good eats and good drinks, vessel is the place to be.

    Cold brew and the lavender cold brew special!

    Love the vibes of this new coffee shop! I stopped by this weekend for their soft opening! They currently just have coffee and some sweets. I got their lavender cold brew special and it was so good! They said they usually make it into a cold brew latte but I got it with just a splash of almond milk. I'm a fan! Can't wait to come back when the kitchen opens! It's located right next to The Birch and Chelsea Bakehouse. Street parking available.

    Decent little spot. Coffee was pretty good. Alcoholic drinks were fun to try and food was priced fairly.

Street parking directly out front on either side of the street. Inside is very charming in an older home with a beautiful patio outside to sit with vines growing around, charm and tons of seats inside both tables and bar. It is simplistic in decor but clean and modern. They have upped the menu and have much more food than my last visit. My friend ordered the salad and it was amazing! I was jealous! Tons of savory goodies inside like sweet potatoes and greens. I went with the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and it's like a foot long. Absolutely huge. I couldn't eat it all and ended up taking half home, delicious and wonderful portion. Absolutely big enough to share. Staff super friendly and my oat milk latte was delicious. Def. going to come back again after my last experience!

It came out way before my beverages (I got a mimosa as well cause why not) arrived though, which was a little disappointing. Much nicer to have the drink you ordered at the same time as the food. They seemed pretty busy at the time I came by though. I've been here before years ago and that was a great experience. Maybe my friend and I just came at a really busy time. Super cute place though. They have used books for sale as well! Also the wrap around porch is lovely. It's probably really nice in the springtime. Sad I didn't get a chance to make it in a couple months ago. Seems like a good spot to take your laptop and get some work done also.

    Cold Pressed - Norfolk International Airport (ORF) Visited:…read moreApril 2026 Stopped in while killing time at the Norfolk airport and decided to try one of their juices. I ordered a 10 oz drink for $7.99, which honestly feels a bit steep for the size--especially for something you finish in a few minutes. That said, the juice itself was actually very good. Fresh, clean flavors, and it tasted like quality ingredients were used. No complaints at all on the product--just the value. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for something healthier than typical airport food, but be prepared to pay airport pricing. Good juice, tough price point.

    I'm basing this review on my uber order…read more I needed a quick pick me up on my birthday last week so I ordered breakfast from Town Center Cold Pressed. This came from their Ghent location which is different than the usual location I order from (VB TownCenter) I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese bagel and a creamy caramel coffee. Since I am gluten free, I ordered it with a gluten free bagel and also added avocado cream cheese. I will say this, it's not the best gluten free bagel HOWEVER I have learned that if I add a cream cheese to it, it helps with the texture of the bagel. (just a helpful hint!) The sandwich was great, it got to me still warm which is an accomplishment in this cold weather snap we had. I have no complaints. The coffee was different than what I normally order but it was DELISH! And they wrote the nicest comment on it. I'm sad I didn't take a picture but it actually was enough to make me smile. We don't order from here that often, and never this location but NO complaints and I will be ordering here again. I hope to visit this location as well soon :)

The price of a large coffee was $2.00 about a year ago, now it's $2.35. And the coffee or breakfast sandwiches aren't even good. Unfortunately, the choices to get something for breakfast is either Dancing Goat, Auntie Anne's, Subway, or the NEX (which is overly priced too). The galley isn't an option anymore due to the Comfort being out. I think I will stick with my brewed coffee in my workspace from here on out.

You'll see it as soon as…read moreyou walk through the walkway/connection from the parking garage, which is very convenient. It's not a sit down restaurant, it's more of a huge kiosk. There are few tables and chairs around though. I've had coffee here twice, and surprisingly, their plain $1.90 medium coffee was better than the fancy $5 espresso drink that I had last time! They provide a couple of different flavored (Coffee Mate) creamers and milk (self serve, and on the side.) They offer coffee, different Espresso drinks like macchiatos, cappuccinos, the usual. Their bagels are bomb though. Ask for them to toast it... it's got the perfect chew, and is still soft. I hate a stiff (too tough) bagel! My total today for a medium coffee, which I added French Vanilla creamer to, & toasted bagel with cream cheese was $5.10! Pleasant surprise. I already took $7 out of my wallet, thinking it would be that much. I'll just get this again next time. Good deal! (Hopefully there won't be a next time visit though.) The workers are hit or miss, some more pleasant than others. The Dancing Goat gets 3.5 stars from me!
