The coffee was really good --it was fresh, smooth, and not bitter at all. I loved the aroma of their coffee. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better.

I've been meaning to try this place. I noticed it was right across from Wick and Sip where May's…read moreParlor used to be so I went after my Sunday outing. The girl who took my order was nice and patient. I ordered the fall menu matcha which had persimmon and spices and a bacon egg and cheese empanada. The space is beautiful and is the perfect environment for some peace and quiet or a nice convo if you sit outside. I was not a fan of the bacon, egg and cheese empanada as the contents tasted super processed exactly like a hot pocket. However, the matcha was incredible, great quality and I loved the flavor. I can't wait to return and try other items on the menu including some coffee!

You order at the front register, they give you a number to place on your table & you choose a seat if you're dining in. I ordered the rice, sweet potato & salmon bowl & a Paloma. The bowl was only okay-- they didn't cook the mushrooms at all, the sweet potatoes were cold & the salmon was stiff. The paloma was decent enough. I overall really like this place for the convenience, the vibe, & the good service. I would definitely come back here if I'm back in town!

Ordered their burger and chips (0/10), not much flavor to the burger at all and pretty dry; definitely had to add sauce to it. As you can see in my photo, barely given any chips on the side. Also tried an iced latte (5/10) it was decent. The food here has been disappointing each time. Don't really see myself returning at this point. My overall rate of experience : 2/10

My favorite latte, the nutella latte, is from here! Surprisingly, it's not too sweet and feels just…read moreso cozy. They have a great espresso and many good flavors, the dark chocolate being my favorite. This coffee shop can feel a little small but only during super peak busy hours. In general, it's the perfect size, being so comfortable that I find my girlfriend and I staying here for hours to either read, talk, do homework, play on our nintendo switches, etc. The staff here are also so nice to talk to, I find myself missing them whenever we leave. As for the food, I don't order food here too often so I haven't tried too much, but a super slept on pick is the pesto chicken sandwich. Holy amazing it's delicious. Price point for the coffee here is very reasonable with a plain latte being somewhere around $5, which is definitely better than many coffee chains.

It's not easy when you live on the other side of Hampton Roads, but I'm glad to see them do really well over the years. Let's see how they've been. We were greeted by the staff after walking in and foot traffic was minimal. Music was playing througout the building and they were pretty busy with orders. A few people did come in but for the most part, they did takeout. We decided to sit and sip our chosen desserts. I chose their Strawberry Smoothie with strawberry popping boba at 70% sugar and Sophia chose her usual, coconut smoothie at 70% sugar with tapioca. Both of us enjoyed them very much. Not too sweet and full of flavor. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. Once again, a grand 'ol time on familiar grounds. You know for sure we'll be back the next time we come around :)

This location has a smaller menu, but an experienced staff to recommend a good array of flavors within their drink choices. My significant other and I ordered: The Peaches seasonal latte: The freshness of the fruit shines through without overpowering the coffee. Brown Sugar Cinnamon latte: Every note balances each other out with minimal sweetness and an exaggerated flavor. I can confidently say this is one of the FEW places i've ever gotten coffee. Not the over sugared milky drink with drops of coffee flavor, but COFFEE!

As a coffee snob, I had to visit a couple coffee roasters when visiting family in Norfolk. Kobros…read moreCoffee shop had a cool interior, nice baristas, and the whole vibe was a comfy and chill cafe. Another customer in line even asked us if we've been before and told us about the fun latte flavors. My mom and I ordered a cold brew each, and it was my mom's favorite cold brew she's ever had! It was good, but it was interesting because near the end of our cups, we tried each others' drinks just for the sake of things, and they tasted different - mine tasted less coffee, whereas my mom's drink had a was stronger coffee flavor. Maybe they were from different batches? Nevertheless, cold brews were great and I would order again. Like other coffee roasters in the area, if you buy a bag of beans, you get a complimentary cold brew, coffee, latte (?)! I was tempted to purchase a bag but they are so popular and only had 1 type of bean left that I don't prefer - heh, I warned that I'm a coffee snob. Would definitely go again/ask family to purchase beans for us out of towners.

What a gem of a coffee shop in ocean view! Stopped in on a recent Friday for a morning pick me up…read morebefore venturing through the tunnel. I love this area of the city - feels a little small town/a little suburban. I have the coffee passport and was excited to try this new-to-me spot. Mudita sits just off Ocean View Ave practically on the beach. On this visit, there was ample street parking, but I dare say it is tricky on weekends and during the summer. It is in a pedestrian-friendly area, which is a plus, so it's easy to walk to. They do make a point to remind you not to park in the lot belonging to the adjacent shopping center or risk being towed. When I stopped in, it was empty except for one table. I let them know this was my first visit and the staff was happy to tell me about seasonal specials. They have a variety of teas and coffees. I do wish they had a sample of their food menu where they take orders. I didn't notice it until I picked up my drink, so I'll have to return when I have more time to peruse it. For my first visit, I wanted to try a seasonal special drink and opted for the Vietnamese Egg Coffee. It was described as an Americano style drink with egg custard foam. They offer decaf which is a plus so I selected this. It was ready in about 5 mins and was absolutely delicious. The only downside was the size. I wasn't expecting an espresso sized beverage for the price, but probably because I'm used to a Starbucks Americano which is bigger (even for a tall) and has slightly more hot water. The flavor was impressive and I much prefer the espresso Mudita uses! Overall, a great experience. I don't often venture out to OV, but I'll definitely stop back in when in the area!

During the last two visits, I've discovered my new favorite go-to breakfast in here. It's called…read moreThe BELT. It is served on their waffle-like bun with bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato and their special sauce. It is terrific.

It could be called The LETS. (smile)

There are plenty of tables and chairs to sit around and enjoy the vibes. I will definitely visit again.

Wow! COVA Brewing it's been so long and finally! I frequent the area and feel bad I've neglected…read morethis awesome Norfolk establishment for so long. This review actually has two great businesses because I visited Klassic Doughnut's food truck too! Ok first things first. Every Wednesday through this Summer Klassic Doughnuts food stand will be available at COVA 8-11 AM. They are in my opinion the best cake doughnuts in our area. They are a major draw for COVA. I purchased a few to go. With COVA I specifically wanted to try their coffee. I was blown away upon arrival to see their outdoor space. It's huge and beautiful. On a weekday at 11 AM without school even out was busy! The counter service was helpful and friendly. I told the staff I wanted a black coffee and was directed to what beans were being offered. I opted for an Ethiopian pour over. The coffee comes in a large and priced competitive. It took a bit with being busy and a pour over, but boy was the wait worth it. Probably the best coffee I've had in any recent memory and I drink a lot of coffee. The space inside is compact, but they offer a side patio that's covered too! COVA is late to offering coffee, maybe 5 years or so. However, they are established with brewing award winning beer. I chatted with a female brewer a minute who was so sweet and invited me back for a glass. They also have a bakery case with offerings that looked good. So I need to return. So exciting to share such a gem in East Beach. Parking may be an issue, but off street neighborhood streets are available.

I like that while it is in Norfolk technically, it is super close to where I live in Virginia Beach. We tried their seasonal blueberry crumble latte and also had their Irish coffee. Both were very good ! I will say, they do not have a liquor license, so the Irish coffee does not come with Whiskey. Perfectly fine with me but wanted to set the expectation! I also tried their seasonal blueberry sweet cream and ohhh my goodness I wish I could buy a some to take home. So fresh, so good! The staff was super nice, and the outside area is a huge space with a variety of seating arrangements. It was a chillier morning and I do wish the fire pits were going but otherwise, super great, relaxing place to be! I really enjoyed my morning with my sister thanks to Cova!

It was ample which was appreciated considering the prices! Definitely more costly than some other local shops but worth it! The view and fresh roasted coffee doesn't disappoint! And yes, you can see the beans being ground on premises! Can't wait to be back in Norfolk for another iced cinnamon shipwreck!

I come here at least…read moreevery other week, and usually get one of their rotating specials on their board and substitute coffee with matcha. I always appreciate seeing them actually take out a matcha bowl and whisk to prepare it, because it makes the drink so much smoother and shows they really care about the quality. My only gripe is that they're a bit inconsistent. I come here so often that I realize some days I really enjoy my drinks more than others. And sometimes the pricing is inconsistent as well? I ordered a small "sweet potato latte" with matcha 3 times already; the first two times they rang it as "sweet potato latte" ($6.75 + tax), while yesterday when I ordered it, they rang it up as a small matcha, add sweet potato sauce and custom cold foam, which was 8.00 + tax. Even with that being said, I still love coming here and supporting this business! Overall it's a very clean shop with solid drinks and a really nice waterfront view.
