21 Best Cafes in Norfolk

“I love the atmosphere at Coasters coffee . I always enjoy my time there and appreciate the baristas recommendations as well.“

“Came to be surrounded by cats and instead was surrounded by people who just wouldn't leave us alone and were being loud. We kept standing up and walking elsewhere to get away from them and they kept following us and surrounding us and talking about inappropriate things like furries, loudly, I believe to harass us and make us feel uncomfortable being there.

Edit: Reached out to staff and they apologized and validated seeing that happen and I appreciate the way they handled things after the fact, just wish somebody did something while we were there if they saw this group of people acting weirdly towards us“

“Love the accepting atmosphere 🖤 seriously means so much! My gf and I will be coming back often!“

“I came from northern Virginia 3 hours away to visit Norfolk and we stopped by penguins in my opinion the mango flavor with mango pieces was the best combination out of everything.I recommend this place to everyone in Norfolk either live or visit penguins and they are way better than the slurpee at 7-11 cause they don’t have the natural fruit like penguins does.“

“This is a 5 star place. We come here every other Sunday for breakfast. Staff is outstanding and so is the food. Gotten to know the staff and the owners quite well that we feel like family. Love this place.❤️❤️❤️“

“Everything I have had from here is great. Thursdays are the the best because it is chicken and dumplings day. I have to bring some home to the family too by request every week. This is local goodness“

“Not only do you get meal prep but they have options for vegan, low-carb, pescatarian, etc. Highly recommended!“

“I usually don’t leave reviews but I was so satisfied by the service and quality of this cafe, I must share. This was actually my 3rd time visiting. The vibe is always pleasant and relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and very informative about how different foods / juices enhance overall well-being. I’ve only gotten juices, so I can only speak on that experience. Ordered a pineapple ginger, apple ginger, and a spinach / basil juice this particular day and it was flavorful. Super fresh ingredients with the perfect blend. Not too sweet and the ginger had a nice kick but wasn’t too spicy. The basil juice was great as well. Lastly, I’ve been to several juice bars and the prices are very reasonable. Obviously, quality ingredients cost, but with this cafe, the value is there and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommended!“

“Love this coffee shop-an oasis from the military environment.
They hosted an MWR movie night with Home Alone movie and theme over the holidays. A fun, relaxed evening. Nice to take children and have night off from cooking. Was a great idea to have food from the movie too.
Coffee is decent but come for the atmosphere and brief escape from the workday“

“Thanks for helping me start my weekend off with a tasty comfort takeout meal. Those smothered pork chops were delicious.“

“My mom and I visited this location for the first time today. It wasn't busy at all. I went to the kiosk to order the food /drinks and our order was ready within a few minutes. We ordered the two entrees with a side. My mom stated that the half turkey sandwich that she had was a little dry and she have ordered a soup with it. I ordered the half Mediterranean veggie sandwich and it hit the spot.“

“I was in the Wards Corner area today and I decided to try Clean Eatz for the first time. I had the chocolate and peanut butter smoothie. The lady behind the register that it is her favorite smoothie because you can not go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. She was so right because it was very good. I also had the good for you nachos.“

“This business came up in my FB feed while visiting the Town Center area. I had not heard of it before, so as a bread lover it was a must try. I ordered online the night before received notifications when my order was ready; which was on time and let’s say that bacon, egg w/ jelly biscuit did NOT disappoint. I WILL be returning! so glad I ordered 2 plan biscuits for the road.“

“My daughter and I ate at Zinnia after a visit to the Chrysler Museum. The menu was varied, the service was friendly and professional, and the food was fresh, as well as absolutely and creatively delicious. I especially recommend the Zinnia burger.“

“Great coffee… ☕️😋 We just stopped by on our way to the Barry Art Museum. Thank you and happy new year.“

“The lavender cake latte was amazing and the lime pistachio one was pretty good too. We tried both savory waffles and were delightfully surprised at how amazing their combinations were. Would happily come again. The staff was super nice and it didn't take very long to get our coffees or food.“

“Such an incredible experience! Popped in unexpectedly and we have found a new spot. The space is gorgeous and so open. I had the lavender coffee which was just mind blowing and hubby had the vanilla cold foam. We will definitely be returning!!!!“

“i’ve never had a problem here. my iced lattes & the granby sandwich are always great. the workers aren’t chatty, so if that’s the kind of place you want then maybe skip this one- but they do their work fast & well. i’ve never waited longer than 15 minutes for a drink & hot sandwich! see ya next weekend stella crew!!“

“The BEST oatmeal I’ve ever had. Followed by the best bagel and smoothie I’ve ever had. I’m in love.“

“I want to give a SHOUT out to Q he's the manager that was working today fixing orders I hope I got his name correct he's a talk black guy he had a red hat on today. He was very friendly to the customers, he greeted them with a smile , he asked if they needed anything, he also acknowledged the customers. And MOST IMPORTANT HE THANKED HIS CREW FOR THEIR HELP. i hadn't seen that type of customer service in a minute keep doing what your doing Q I hope Panera also acknowledge your hard work“
