North Pole Bowl
Jorge I.

Always a favorite! One of my top fives in the Norfolk area. Service is always quick and convenient!

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.

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.

Brazil Bowl and Creamsicle Smoothie
Shelby S.

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!

Menu

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.

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

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!

On the dog friendly back patio! Great shady spot!
Jennifer D.

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

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.

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 !!!

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.

acai
Jenna I.

Came to this location on the fourth of July weekend for the first time and the server/barista couldn't be less amused to be working (not that I blame her). However, I was! I'd been craving a good acai and was waiting for a bowl that had all my mix-ins, including granola, which should be the standard but doesn't seem to be at all places these days. Love the shirts but wish there was less skeletons. I'm probably more partial to the VB location more, but if I lived in the area, any Zekes would be tempting. We need more non-skimpy, simply delicious acai spots anywhere and everywhere!

I stopped by Town Center Cold Pressed in Ghent around 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, about 30…read moreminutes before closing. I honestly only walked in because I wanted to check the place out and had no real plans to order anything, but I'm glad I did! First, the space itself is really cool. It has a darker, industrial feel with wood accents that fits right in with the Ghent vibe. It's a nice little spot with a lot of character. Makayla was working the counter and was an absolute pleasure. She made some recommendations, and I decided on a lavender matcha with their house-made pistachio milk. Somewhere between us chatting and having a genuinely good conversation, neither of us was paying attention to what she was making and I ended up walking out with an iced lavender pistachio latte with espresso instead of matcha. I took a sip outside and immediately thought, "Wait a minute...this is NOT matcha." I went back in and told Makayla, and she immediately realized what happened, apologized, and remade it correctly. No big deal whatsoever, especially considering I literally stood there and watched her make the first drink and didn't notice either because we were too busy talking! She also offered to let me keep the latte since it would have just been thrown away otherwise, so I ended up getting to try both. And that pistachio milk?! They make it in-house, and it is SO good. It has this really interesting nutty, almost umami flavor that I loved. Both drinks were delicious flavor-wise, although they were definitely much sweeter than I personally prefer. Next time I'll just ask for significantly less sweetener. For these, I'll probably blend them with some ice at home to mellow out the sweetness and turn them into frozen drinks. Overall, this was such a random, serendipitous little stop that turned into a really enjoyable experience. Great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and Makayla was incredibly pleasant, relatable, and fun to talk to. I'll absolutely be back, especially for that pistachio milk!

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.

It's kind of off by itself in the mall, I almost didn't even see the place, but it's a quiet little area and the staff are friendly. They have a lot of options so it was actually a little hard for me to choose just one thing. I decided to try the Oreo smoothie (10/10) it was really delicious and yummy. There also wasn't too long of a wait time either for my drink which was nice. They also give customers pineapple on a stick with your order; however, I can't eat pineapple so I couldn't have mine :( Def going to return because there were so many other drinks that sounded delicious that I want to try. I also noticed what looked like food options on the menu as well so I'll check those out in the future too. My overall rate of experience : 10/10

Had my daughter so had to run right outside to my car for her milk and came back to wait. Saw the owner giving the pineapple on a stick to the two girls in front of me with their smoothies. Two people walked up and were standing in line and she gave them two while they looked. When my smoothie came up, no pineapple. I asked the male behind the counter and he was extremely rude to me and said they're $1.78 each and I said "Oh, I thought you gave them with the smoothies" pointing to the two people IN LINE who had not ordered yet. He was really rude and almost aggressive about it and said "NO - $1.78". I've never had this experience here. I've ordered dozens of smoothies here and this is a first. They're $12 a smoothie so - probably going to skip it since I felt singled out and when I innocently asked about it I got my head bit off. No thanks.

I was happy to see a list of options and toppings on the glass because everything was covered so I wasn't able to see what they had available. I liked how they have specialty drinks; I ordered the mahalo colada and hubby ordered the dragonfruit juice. Their ice machine was out of order but the drinks were cold so we got them anyway. Our bowls were yummy. The drinks were okay... I would probably come back again when in the area.

But I really wanted something a little lighter and healthier. Toastique was the perfect alternative. It was a min walk from where we were. The dining area is clean and modern with a calming, natural color palette. It makes you want to linger with free Wi-Fi and complimentary ice water (in the jug that has citrus floating in it). We were immediately greeted by the manager owner. It's a seat yourself and order at the counter set up. We hadn't grabbed a menu when we came in and the owner intuitively brought menus to our table. We ordered the avocado smash toast, the Blue Mystique smoothie bowl, and the Greek toast. Service was quick and they brought it out to our table. Each item came out looking beautiful, fresh, and delicious. I sampled the 'cure' cold pressed juice and now I feel like I need to go back to get a bottle to go. Excuse the pics, I always forget to take the pic first when the food comes out looking good, lol. I found the prices to be very reasonable for what you get compared to other "fresh food" fast restaurants. Definitely put this place on your list as a chill place to catch up with friends or to set up your laptop for some work while enjoying a variety of yummy fresh food choices. Oh, I always like to note when places have single stall unisex bathrooms and they did. The service quality and flavor is always my primary motivator when deciding where to eat.

They also have bowls and other options. Inside is very clean and neat and minimalistic/modern decor. I also love the location here in a busy new shopping/living area with some other shops and things to see and do. We walked around for a while exploring the area and had a great time. It's clean and has easy parking either on the street or in a nearby garage.
