    Large Breakfast Bowl Blended açaí with banana, topped with granola, banana, strawberry, & blueberry
    Shelb L.

    When I'm in the mood for Açaí, this is one of my go-to's. I order the Breakfast Bowl (Blended açaí with banana, topped with granola, banana, strawberry, & blueberry) The cafe itself is very small with limited seating. It's tastefully decorated with local art work on the walls. The staff if super friendly & helpful.

    Brazil Bowl and Creamsicle Smoothie

    Food came super quick. It was my first time here so I was super excited. I got the Brazil bowl and the creamsicle smoothie. Everything tasted amazing and would come here again!

    Zeke's gives off a cozy artist loft vibe. Service is always warm and inviting. Their offerings are simple, but satisfying. My partner and I love the tuna salad. In a wrap or warmed over rice, it's well seasoned and just hits the spot. On my most recent visit I had a fresh watermelon juice. That had to have been the most refreshing beverage I've ever had at a cafe. Zeke's is just right for the Neon District.

    I was in Norfolk so decided to visit Zekes on Granby St. I have been before years ago and had a good experience so decided to try it again. Friendly staff, good food from an uncluttered menu. I ordered the O.G. Poke bowl, watermelon and strawberry juice and watermelon mimosa. The food was ok and the juice and mimosa was not memorable. Overall the vibe is great and I would try the business again.

    Great portion sizes and very friendly staff. Relaxing place to read and enjoy a peaceful lunch.

    Cool spot, but I had never been before. The person at the register seemed annoyed when we walked in and didn't seem to care about giving us a minute to check out the menu, so I didn't order much. It was like a typical Ghent establishment where they don't seem to care about service or being friendly unless they know you (which really stinks about Ghent sometimes). Anyways, we got a couple of lattes and we're gonna eat, but decided to try someplace else. Probably won't go here again, but I was curious and glad to have walked in to experience it anyways.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Norfolk. I've been coming here since my college days at ODU and have stuck to pretty much the same order since then. The food is always consistently good, and the smoothie bowls are such a nice treat. I love to order either a breakfast bowl or a north pole bowl with the Fajita pita as a rice bowl. The fresh veggies paired with the hot rice and Lizano sauced chicken always feeds my craving. The staff is super chill as well as the atmosphere. Zeke's is a great place to stop in and get some food to go, sit in with a friend or enjoy a book. Looking forward to actually trying something new next visit!

    Staff is wonderful! Matt and Britt up front are so sweet and Kitchen manager, Windsor, knows her stuff! We love this place. They rotate local artwork (that you can buy if you want) on the walls so there's always new things to look at. They have a couple of card games as well. Indoor and outdoor seating with a great little patio out back. The music there is always new and fun (staff makes playlists). The food is great! Poke bowls are good sizes and there is a lot of variety to make edits however you'd like.. Love their coffees and matcha tea too. The smoothies are good, but the orange creamsicle one always needs a bit more orange so keep that in mind when ordering :) There is also a Chesapeake and Virginia Beach location, however, I have never been to those. Just an FYI

    Food was awesome !! Fajita Pita with avocado 4/5 a little on the spicy side North Pole Bowl 5/5 my sister suggested removing the mango and adding strawberries Shrimp taco 4/5 this was a week special I love the vibes the art is amazing and a cool way to support local artists. The employees are so nice and helpful I really appreciate great customer service. I would definitely recommend if you are interested in a more healthy temptation. So if you find yourself downtown Norfolk definitely check it out !!!

    Brazil bowl (açaí, mango,kiwi,honey) and Ahi poke bowl
    Mary-Ann L.

    I was at Zeke's on Granby Street about 4 years ago when I just moved to Norfolk. That was then when I ordered a macchiato and they were struggling to make one right. Nothing much was on the menu. But wait, this is a great review of how Zeke's is so much different now especially what they offer. I ordered their cali poke bowl and Brazil bowl to go. While waiting for my order, I got to meet Rachel the hippie artist who happened to be at Zeke's to sell her paintings! It tells so much about Zeke's as an establishment that promotes other local businesses! Yay for Zeke's. Way cool. Went home and tried the bowls. Didn't intend to but scraped the bottom of great food. All the ingredients are fresh. Highly recommend Zeke's.

    Small Cali Poke ~$12 + brown rice $1
    Krisha B.

    Always a pleasure to have breakfast at Zekes! If you're craving something healthy and local, I'd highly recommend. They are best known for their açaí bowls and poke - I love both! We normally get the brazil bowl, which includes an açaí smoothie base, granola, bananas, mango, kiwi, and a honey drizzle. I also love to get their cali poke, which is ahi tuna with all the good fixing's: seaweed salad, avocado, and spicy crab. They get pretty busy most weekends and their lobby is small but totally worth it bc their service is always A1 and their food is great. I also love how they support local artists and will often rotate their artwork inside. You can purchase or enjoy the local art scene.

    I have been a regular customer of Zeke's since they opened in Norfolk in 2015. I used to live across the street but now live 30 minutes from there- I now drive to satisfy my cravings for my favorite menu item: the Cali Tuna Pita. Y'all. The tuna salad is amazing. It is the best seasoned tuna I've ever had. The combo of ingredients is stellar. I dream about this pita! The service is always incredibly friendly especially from Brit and Brittany! The staff here really cares about hospitality. It does not go unnoticed! The music is generally chosen by who is working and I've never heard a bad playlist. It varies from old school hip hop to indie to jazz. The decor has changed over the years but is always quirky and unique. They continue to showcase local artists since the beginning, changing artists every month. Zeke's has become a staple in the Norfolk community and my life! I always eat my pita so fast I forget to take a pic, but here is a pic of the kale salad that was amazing and HIGHLY recommend the Blue Colada smoothie on a hot day! Enjoy!

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.

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!

It could be called The LETS. (smile)

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.
