I ordered the Iced, CHEST CANDY: White Chocolate and raspberry, and to say I was in love with it! I had to order another one after I left and walked around for 5 mins because I may have drank all of it before I got back to our car! My husband ordered the Blueberry Bang Tea and you can taste the lightness of the blueberry and tea, I'm not a big tea fan, but this one is pretty good! Husband loves it! Very smooth, light and delicious! We will definitely be back! P.S The muffins were also delicious! (They had chocolate ones out and they were sooo soft!)

Their regular pour coffee is also good. They are very friendly, but as it is very popular, it normally takes a while to receive your food/drinks. As for food, they have a lot of great options. My son loves their scones. I wouldn't recommend their avocado toast, as the avocado is packaged and not fresh. It doesn't have a nice flavor.

Once again our food was delicious and fresh! My friend really enjoyed her chicken salad sandwich. I…read moretried the salad my brother had last time and it was as good as it looked then. Delicious!

My husband and I are regulars at Big Ugly but I've never taken the opportunity to try Taxus Street until this week. I tried to come on Monday and quickly learned they were closed, so returned the following day. They operate inside the brewery and have a nice setup in the corner. There is lots of seating - bars and high tops - and it's a great spot for a morning gathering. There was a meeting in the upstairs loft happening during my visit. The barista who assisted me was working solo. She was super friendly and happy to answer my questions. I was glad to hear they offer decaf espresso. I opted to try one of their seasonal lattes - the Mounds Bar latte with almond milk, mocha and coconut cold foam. It took only a few minutes for my order to be prepared. I did find the drink to be slightly sweet for my taste and would ask for half sweet on my next visit. For the lactose intolerant, they have almond and oat milk options. They also have several pastries and some hot food options to choose from like overnight oats and breakfast burritos from Burrito Perdido. I was really pleased with my recent visit and I'll be happy to come back soon!

The menu is pretty large and has breakfast all day, sandwiches, tons of drinks, and some pastries. Staff were very friendly and easily answered questions about the menu and made some recommendations for my mom and I who were between a few items. We had some nice breakfast sandwiches here (my mom's was DELICIOUS) and some iced teas that we loved. I chose the HORSEY HAM-WICH + tomato and lettuce but, I wasn't impressed. The ham was cold and it wasn't toasted though I probably could've asked for that... My mom chose the HANGOVER HELPER after I said I was looking it over. It consisted of a fried egg, house-smoked pastrami, swiss, russian dressing, on a toasted everything bagel. It was warm, filling, and just what I wish I ordered! Would happily come back in an instant. Really pleasant experience and relaxed vibes. Loved the little toddler area with a kitchen and some other goodies to entertain the kiddos. I've been now to the Smithfield Cure and the Norfolk as well as this one and this might be my favorite location. Norfolk is very nice - but, this one is more charming.

It's a cute…read morelittle shop, a bit tight when you get in but there is seating inside off to the side as well as tables outside. I ordered from the summer menu and tried the Cinnamon Drift Latte (Housemade Horchata and Espresso) and it was sooo good. I only got a 16 oz and wished I got the 20! My daughter ordered a signature drink, the Botanist (Strawberry puree, milk, and matcha) with oatmilk and it was great. I want to go back and give that a try next. Lastly my husband ordered a cold brew with cold foam and enjoyed that as well. He also ordered the coffee cake and I wish I wasn't gluten free because it looked and smelled amazing. He enjoyed that while we sat outside for a bit. The service was quick, the staff was so friendly and patient, and the drinks were delish! We will definitely be back when we are in Norfolk!!

I'll be honest, at first, I didnt think that just because this place looked a little too pretty,…read morethey wouldnt produce really good coffee but I was wrong. The coffee was really good --it was fresh, smooth, and not bitter at all. I loved the aroma of their coffee. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. The interior also has some really nice artistic elements that add to the overall vibe. Its a really relaxed hangout spot for anyone. I love the windows and how the sun shined through. And of yeah, the orange couch. This is Definitely a spot I'd recommend What I Got: Almond Croissant: 4/5 Pistachio Croissant 5/5 Apple Turn Over 4/5 White Macadamia Nut Latte 5/5 Golden Hour Latte 4/5

After braving the line at Klassic Doughnuts, we decided there was only one thing that could make…read morethem even better--coffee. So we wandered over to Pinup Coffee at Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery, and we're glad we did. I ordered the Salty Texan, a delicious take on the classic caramel macchiato. It was smooth, well-balanced, and just the right combination of sweet and salty. I would definitely order it again. The seating was comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it turned out to be much more than just a stop for coffee. We struck up a conversation with a wonderful mother and daughter visiting from Wisconsin. During our chat, the daughter shared that she was getting married later today. It was one of those unexpected moments that reminds you how enjoyable simple conversations with complete strangers can be. Great coffee, outstanding doughnuts, comfortable surroundings, and memorable conversation--it made for a wonderful morning. If you're visiting Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery, Pinup Coffee is well worth a stop.

There's barstool seating at the countertop facing the grill and a few chairs at a carved wooden tabletop facing the large window. RoJo Coffee also has some outdoor seating options under a large tree. The menu is very impressive with specialty lattes and teas, and energy drinks, too. The breakfast and lunch menu offers a variety that's sure to please everyone's taste buds. I truly enjoyed the Belgian Waffle that comes with their house made mixed berry compote and powdered sugar, along with pure maple syrup, and house whipped cream. I liked how the chilled compote, syrup, and whipped cream were served in separate containers so that I could dip! Nice touch! The Belgian Waffle was fluffy and tasty! I also enjoyed my choice of The Lola (White Snickerdoodle Latte) specialty latte with oak milk (extra charge) that features white mocha, cinnamon & vanilla. My husband really liked his order of the Breakfast Burrito with bacon, noting how tasty their house salsa was. His specialty latte was The Moose which is their honey roasted peanut latte (toasted marshmallow, peanut butter & honey). Our orders were taken by the mother of one of the owners. She was very friendly and pleasant, telling us to take our time looking over the menu. She pointed out the month of May specials, and you could tell how happy she was to support this small business. We're thankful to have such a wonderful breakfast and lunch option with specialty beverages on the south side of the Great Bridge Locks. IYKYK

The coffee was good, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of…read morethe shop was a major issue. The environment didn't appear to be well maintained, and it made the experience feel unsanitary. What concerned me the most was watching an employee fill my boyfriend's iced coffee with tap water directly from the sink. That completely changed my confidence in how drinks are prepared. Good coffee is important, but cleanliness and proper food handling are just as important. I hope they address these issues because the coffee itself has a lot of potential.

They have house matcha AND ceremonial matcha * They roast their own coffee * Their rotating specials are always very interesting Recommendations for improvement: * the only thing I would suggest is for the shop to introduce a rewards system or punch card! I go here so often, even a punch card having the 10th drink as free would be a game changer Tip: they validate parking in dominion tower garage, check out their instagram for more details!

The servers are very friendly and helped me decide upon the cinnamon shipwreck which was so good I ordered one every morning during my stay. In addition I had a breakfast sandwich which to my pleasant surprise was made fresh with actual scrambled egg instead of a previously frozen egg patty. It was ample which was appreciated considering the prices! Definitely more costly than some other local shops but worth it! The view and fresh roasted coffee doesn't disappoint!
