I know, I know, do better yelper lol. I was in a rush so I didn't get any pics other than of the latte of the week. They have plenty of seating for either a place to work (free WiFi) or catch up with some friends. They have different coffee blends (whole beans or they can grind for you) and associated merch for purchase. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I look forward to coming back.

Pale Horse Coffee is owned by retired military who I thanked for there service. Inside, the line moved pretty consistently with averages of 10-12 people waiting to order and pick up their beverages. For food, they only had some fresh made egg burritos pre-wrapped and in a warming display and a few fresh baked muffins. Their coffee selection and flavors to add are pretty tremendous and if you love coffee, you'll love this place because their service is so warm and friendly, just like their beverages. They offer free wifi which makes this place a great hang out for humans and their furry friends. On the morning that I stopped in there were 3 of the most beautiful and well behaved golden retrievers waiting patiently for their dog bone treat while their people waited for their drinks. Many other people were having business meetings and working remote. There is outside seating as well as plenty of seating inside and just as many electric outlets to keep the technology charged while the body charges from their delicious coffee. Parking is also free for up to 2 hours in the garage behind the shops. This is a wonderful well run coffee place!

My husband and I are regulars at Big Ugly but I've never taken the opportunity to try Taxus Street until this week. I tried to come on Monday and quickly learned they were closed, so returned the following day. They operate inside the brewery and have a nice setup in the corner. There is lots of seating - bars and high tops - and it's a great spot for a morning gathering. There was a meeting in the upstairs loft happening during my visit. The barista who assisted me was working solo. She was super friendly and happy to answer my questions. I was glad to hear they offer decaf espresso. I opted to try one of their seasonal lattes - the Mounds Bar latte with almond milk, mocha and coconut cold foam. It took only a few minutes for my order to be prepared. I did find the drink to be slightly sweet for my taste and would ask for half sweet on my next visit. For the lactose intolerant, they have almond and oat milk options. They also have several pastries and some hot food options to choose from like overnight oats and breakfast burritos from Burrito Perdido. I was really pleased with my recent visit and I'll be happy to come back soon!

So cozy! The churro latte was delicious. One of the best coffees I've had in Virginia Beach.read more

The coziest coffee shop in VB!…read more From the baked goods, to the specialty drinks, Colattao has such great offerings. There is something for everyone here! I loved the cozy atmosphere here, especially the cute mismatched plates, mugs, and saucers. It feels like you're stepping into someone's chic and welcoming home. The cheese danish & leek and parmesan were absolutely delightful. My husband loved his vanilla cinnamon horchata and I loved my house coffee. Definitely the best hot coffee I've had in VB. We will be back!

There's barstool seating at the countertop facing the grill and a few chairs at a carved wooden tabletop facing the large window. RoJo Coffee also has some outdoor seating options under a large tree. The menu is very impressive with specialty lattes and teas, and energy drinks, too. The breakfast and lunch menu offers a variety that's sure to please everyone's taste buds. I truly enjoyed the Belgian Waffle that comes with their house made mixed berry compote and powdered sugar, along with pure maple syrup, and house whipped cream. I liked how the chilled compote, syrup, and whipped cream were served in separate containers so that I could dip! Nice touch! The Belgian Waffle was fluffy and tasty! I also enjoyed my choice of The Lola (White Snickerdoodle Latte) specialty latte with oak milk (extra charge) that features white mocha, cinnamon & vanilla. My husband really liked his order of the Breakfast Burrito with bacon, noting how tasty their house salsa was. His specialty latte was The Moose which is their honey roasted peanut latte (toasted marshmallow, peanut butter & honey). Our orders were taken by the mother of one of the owners. She was very friendly and pleasant, telling us to take our time looking over the menu. She pointed out the month of May specials, and you could tell how happy she was to support this small business. We're thankful to have such a wonderful breakfast and lunch option with specialty beverages on the south side of the Great Bridge Locks. IYKYK

What a gem of a coffee shop! This is one of my favorite coffee finds to date in Hampton Roads. Is…read moreit anywhere near my house? Nope. A total nightmare to get to for logistically, but totally worth the hassle and the drive. This place is tiny so we lucked out getting seats. There are a few seats on a low top bar facing the street and a few more high top bar seats facing the kitchen. Not ideal for socializing, but we made it work, I found this place to be extremely kid-friendly even though it isn't necessarily catering towards kids. Tons of great food options - highlights being the strawberry french toast and the chicken bacon ranch wrap. Pretty sure these are both specials for February, but gosh they should keep them year-round. The gentleman cooking was great - from food to service. My coffee was good. Not superb, but hit the spot. My biggest wish for coffee shops is always homemade syrups but at least they use Monin. Overall, great experience and will definitely be back next time I stumble upon the area.

I ordered the egg & cheese croissant sandwich with the bacon on the side, and it was crispy bacon like I like it! My girlfriend ordered a panini and was very happy with it (it looked delicious!).

I love their options of drinks an biscuits, I've especially been craving their bacon and cheddar biscuit since I've last had it, and it's nice to go to a cafe that dos things a little differently than the standard! One thing I also adore about this location is how they will host small markets on the lawn outside the house! One time me and my friend finished chatting and having coffee and we unknowingly walked outside to see a bunch of vendors that weren't there before! It was so fun to walk around and speak with everyone, they were all so sweet and I ended up buying multiple things unplanned! I will say it can be a tight squeeze between the doorway and the counter when ordering as the hallway is small and the line can grow rapidly. But if it's not cold outside or busy there then it's not really an issue at all! I'm sad that they aren't open past 1-2PM most days, but that's understandable given the business they run and thier location! Overall, I couldn't recommend tho place more for anyone wanting a new study spot or place to try out in general in VB!

Plenty of room to grab a coffee and read a book or hang out indoors while the weather is cold. When it's nice, the outdoor area has plenty of seating.

They make all of their syrups in house- and they are absolutely splendid. Only this place can make me enjoy an espresso tonic- what even is that?! But it's delicious, just like everything they do. And, it's never ever too sweet. It's always barely sweet with an emphasis on flavor, not sugar. Ugh just so good. And what's more than that- the staff here are genuinely amazing people. The owner (I think?) always greets us and knows us well at this point, and makes the whole experience just that much better. These people are in the job that's right for them- which means their coffee is crafted with love. And that's the best kind of business to visit.

I'm going to try and be balanced with this review. Been here several times and my most recent visit…read morewas the only negative experience I've had. Let's start with the food. Everything I've had has been consistently good. Everything freshly made and good flavor. They do not offer straight up coffee. It's all lattes and espresso and such. None of it bad. The place is clean and there is plenty of indoor seating. The service though leaves something to be desired. They have QR code menus at the table that don't allow for much in variation and don't cover the entire print menu. We sat down and when we realized this I approached the counter to attempt to order from there. (I had just seen a customer walk in and order at the counter for to go) I was flat out ignored while I stood there. They were not busy. There was one other table of 1 and the to go order. I was forced to use the QR ( they lost money because of this as my order would have been different and larger had I been able to speak to a person). The "waiter" dropped off our food and never came back to check on us until it we were finished and he wanted to clear the table. Borderline rude, at best indifferent. Giving it three stars for the past positive experiences but not sure I'll be back anytime soon.
