Coffee was okay. Wifi was not strong enough to load any of my classes which is why I spent money here in the first place. The girl working was sweet but I ended up having to use my own Hotspot just to study. I don't recommend for working or school, or for the coffee honestly.

This is a cute coffee shop in the heart of Norfolk. Great place to just hang out and play some board games or read.It is on the second floor of an old converted house so be aware of you can't do steps.Parking is limited. We parked across the street.

The lattes taste like flavored milk with little to no espresso. The inside was dirty with cracked and worn down furniture. The baristas had their heads down the entire time, waited around 5 minutes which wasn’t bad but I wasn’t greeted or treated nicely… just took my order and walked away before I even paid and flipped the tablet. I guess customers just get spoiled at all these other places that this one just felt really weird and off. Not a vibe at all…
I got a godfather thats supposed to taste like chocolate and tiara massu (spelled wrong) but it just tasted like overly milked folgers

My aunt passed away a few years back, this place looks exactly like my childhood home(her place) and it relaxes me. The coffee is the greatest and it brings back so much nostalgia!

My best friend brought me here, she knows that I love coffee & small businesses. I loved the vibe, service was good, & everything was yummy!
I love fair grounds! I like most of the people who work there! Today the person who made my smoothie was really weird about it though, I hadn’t seen her before, short purple hair, spikey eyeliner. She just kept yelling about it being a flesh smoothie, “it looks like human flesh”, and literally describing it like it was a horror movie. This was the whole time she was making it, and even after she gave it to me. You know people can hear you, right? Maybe it was because I asked for cream in it, she responded negatively to that in the first place, gaped at her coworker like I’d asked for shrimp eggs. Maybe try to be less weird about people’s food though, I’d appreciate it at least. :/

Best coffee I've ever had!I absolutely love the spirit of this place, and it is by far one of my favorite places.The Aussie bites are delicious and nutritious. My whole family loves them.This location is upstairs, and there is no elevator, so it unfortunately may not be accessible to everyone.I would suggest calling and asking if they could bring your order down for you, but this may be a deal breaker for some.The heating and cooling are not be the best, but it did not bother me one bit.I like a hot coffee on a cold day and an iced latte on a hot day.There are plenty of seating options and a variety of table sizes, making it easy to get comfortable with whoever you come here with or to have privacy and solace.The sun room features tabletop games for all ages and a box of Legos. :)I brought my kids here, and this is probably the only coffee shop I have seen in the local area that has stuff for kids.Kid-friendliness: There are activities for kids elementary age and up. My toddler likes the snacks.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, but try calling to see if they can bring you a coffee.
