“The ham cheese and dijon mustard bagel is delicious. And if you get a latte, try the banana bread while it’s in season! - taste just like a piece of banana bread. 10/10 highly recommend“

“Best coffee in downtown Norfolk!“

“This place is a sleeper, as in… don’t sleep on it, just because it’s not in your face. It moreso feels like you’re at a friends house. It’s laidback, chill, good vibes, and if the food takes a while, in my experience it was totally worth the wait. Whoever worked on 8/16 Sunday knows how to throw down. Definitely wasn’t prepared for such freshly prepared eats. Good job Mea Culpa 🤙 great b.e.c.“

“Great company and even better people running it!“

“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!!!!“

“Thanks for the best coffee drink I’ve had in a really long time! See you soon.🙂“

“Stopped by to check them out, got the Pineapple Express bowl and Eartha got the Sour Diesel bowl - very good and fresh. Portion was about the size of a normal cereal bowl packed with fruits, granola etc. Would recommend and we plan on coming back for “Meet Me In The Alley”, which is the back side outdoor area with a food truck.“

“Dealt with two baristas, Evan and Malia, they were both very kind and helped me when I was confused. Excellent customer service! Came back the next day and Malia remembered me and was very pleasant when I had an order with a lot of specifications.“

“☕️ 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Such a cool place; excellent location. Parking 🅿️ too‼️“

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

“My husband and I were in Norfolk on vacation. I was so excited to see there was a cat cafe in town! The space was open and very clean. The staff were incredibly kind. It was also kind to have a space with complimentary beverages. Highly recommend to anyone nearby or traveling through to have some mellow kitty love!“

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

“Edit to add: if you can keep similar prices, ypu would THRIVE in RVA. Please come

Great food and great prices! My neice is Vegan and always looking for new things to try (she loved the brownie, not pictured). Would definitely come back. I got the small acia bowl and it was very filling, I cant imagine what the large size looks like!“

“I popped into Bellarissa last Friday morning to see what all they had to offer. The shop opens a bit late for my typical morning commute but this day had me coming from an early meeting in VB. The cafe is remarkably large with lots of chairs and tables available. It was not busy when I was there. I checked out the menu for beverage and food options and decided to get their iced mocha latte with oat milk and a lovely hazelnut granola pastry. There seemed to be only one worker and things are handmade so prep took a minute and I perused the shop while I waited. The iced mocha was lovely - one thing in particular I liked about it was that there wasn't a huge amount of oatmilk drowning out the coffee - and the pastry was scrumptios. Pricing is on par with larger, more commercial coffee shops. If you happen to be downtown definitely check out this spot. Oh and they also have a mocktail menu available which I will dive into on my next visit.“

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

“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.❤️❤️❤️“

“these donuts are so good! My kids loved watching the worker create each one individually with the toppings. 10/10 recommend“

“I’ve come here an handful of times and have noticed that every time one of the leads is working, the store is in high spirits and hard at work! I believe their name tag said Lu. My drink never came out wrong and the customer service they provided was exceptional. They’re very attentive and helpful whenever you need some order suggestions as well. If you ever find yourself here, ask for Lu if you want an easy experience!“

“Great flavors, great price. Made by people who I know drink coffee. Coffee made by coffee lovers for coffee lovers.“

“I send my fiancé here once a week for their scones and amazing coffee. I’m currently drinking a caramel apple spice and it is so good. Everyone needs to know about this place!!“

“Great place in the hospital. The baristas are friendly and the coffee comes out quick. Oat and almond milk alternatives if you want them. Espresso drinks come out hot, iced, or blended. The drinks menu is very large, including hot cocoa and apple cider for non-caffeinated drinks. Five stars for me would be if they had soy milk, house-made sauces, and fresh baked goods, but this place is pretty great still, especially considering it's just a hospital cafe!“

“Just picked up the drinks I ordered online, and idk the girls' name that is working but feel for her. She is the only one working. So taking orders & making drinks & most people in store were ordering from her. So just wanted her to know she's doing awesome !!?“

“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 donuts weren’t really my favorite, but they’re still worth giving a try! The staff was super nice, and the seating area is such a great space. I’m honestly surprised more people don’t sit inside since it seems like most just DoorDash or drive up to grab their orders.“

“Plenty of good beer styles and seltzers and self serve taps!“

“First time there. Heard about how good they were . It was very busy. Looks like they were a bit shorthanded but the donuts were worth the wait. French Toast is to die for .“

“I had an excellent experience at Starbucks thanks to an outstanding employee named Lauren. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm, positive attitude that immediately made my visit better. She provided fast, efficient, and genuinely friendly customer service, taking my order with care and making sure everything was just right.
My drink was made quickly and perfectly, exactly how I like it. It’s clear that Lauren takes pride in her work and goes above and beyond to ensure customers leave happy. Employees like her make all the difference—I’ll definitely be returning thanks to the great service she provided.“

“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.“

“very friendly staff , i will recommend this for sure . thumbs up !“

“How many hidden Starbucks have you run across? Signage and a clap board was there, but I had no idea they were in Chartway Arena.

Staff was fantastic! They first got power for my phone, it was dead. The space is extremely small, just a few table. 99% of their business is take-out.

I utilized the app after I got power. My standing order of a small black blonde put in. Without even asking she did mine as a pour over which was yummy.

The case was pretty weak with fewer selections than others. The space was very clean.

I would return. 4.5 rounding down“

“As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and Maui Desire Romance Series novels, I often stop for coffee while traveling, and Starbucks is a reliable reset point.

The exterior is understated, but once inside the space opens into a warm, classic Starbucks layout. There’s a long wooden communal table that anchors the room, along with smaller tables that give you options for either focused work or a quick break.

The flow works well. It’s easy to grab a seat, get settled, and stay productive without feeling crowded.

My usual grande hot chai tea latte came out exactly as expected. Consistent, hot, and dialed in.

The staff was friendly and efficient, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish.

It’s a comfortable, dependable stop when you need a place to reset, think, or get a bit of work done on the road.“

“This coffee shop offers a comfortable setting and professional service. The location was well maintained and easy to access. Staff members were welcoming and attentive, helping create a positive experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would gladly return again.“

“I asked if they had a Java Chip Frappuccino and was told yes, but what I received tasted more like a Mocha Frappuccino…missing the chocolatey coffee notes and crunchy chocolate chips I was expecting. It was still good, but I wish they had let me know it would be a bit different. On the positive side, the place is clean, including the bathroom, and the staff is friendly and nice.“

“Great staff! They get it right the first time 🤩“
