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
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!

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!

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

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!

First of all can I just say WOW!…read more We were excited at the first because we thought the Neat Bird from Chesapeake had a new location in Norfolk Colley Avenue but there chicken sandwich was even delicious here too with a different owner! We met the owner, he is a cool band guy with a mustache name Dand. The drinks he made for us were so good and so was the way he talked with his staff and the way they worked together. My parner and I had seen that they pride themselfes on Scottish eggs, which we were lucky to try and it was also very delicious! We like that they have the vibe and also a board with many events of the community on the wall to check out while you sip on a delicious expresso martini. Good job to the Bird! now dont go opening another restaurant in Chesapeake or we will all be very confused!

Had brunch at The Bird on a Monday morning a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing. The ambiance…read moreis cozy and homey, with a few tables outside, some high-top tables inside, bar seating, three half-booth tables, and even a couch area. You order at the register, and the staff brings the food out to your table. Everyone was attentive, and we had no issues with the service. We ordered the waffle plate, which came topped with fruit alongside eggs and their house sausage. We also tried the Huevos Rancheros, the Sausage Egg & Cheese sandwich, and a build-your-own omelette. For drinks, we ordered the brown sugar cold brew, dulce de leche cold brew, drip coffee, and an espresso martini. The waffle was huge, and the sides were great. My only complaint was that it could have used more fruit, as there were only a few small pieces. The Huevos Rancheros were delicious and came with a generous serving of avocado. The only thing that caught us off guard was the lack of salsa, since in traditional Huevos Rancheros the salsa is a key component. Even so, the dish was still flavorful and filling. The omelette was excellent, and the breakfast sandwich was equally delicious. I was especially impressed by the house-made jam, house-made hot sauce, and the perfectly seasoned home fries. As for the drinks, the brown sugar cold brew was excellent, but the dulce de leche version was far too sweet for my taste. From what I understood, they use two flavored syrups to make it, and I think using smaller portions of each would create a better balance. We ended up adding oat milk and some drip coffee to tone it down. The drip coffee itself was solid and came with free refills. The espresso martini really tied brunch together for me -- strong, well-made, and delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and the experience, and we'll definitely be back.

Updating my previous review bc I just had a really bad experience here…read more I ordered my usual - the Green Cheesecake Smoothie. 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.

Stopped by here while I was at the mall, it was around 4 pm on a Friday and there were only a few…read morecustomers in line. 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

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. BUT I love having the bonus of knowing this franchise location is Bipoc owned/operated.
