Oh how I love thee... We had three weeks left in August so Thomas said let's go to the DR, I've literally been there twice this year. I was honestly tired of being on a plane so I asked for a short road trip. He mentioned VA Beach and I said sure, why not. Haven't been to VA. beach in over 20 years! Well we needed breakfast! Luckily my Yelpies proved right on their reviews. Cafe Atlantic had the best rating and the last few reviews said it was fantastic. We got here on Thursday, woke up late Friday so we missed this spot but Saturday and Sunday we have come here for breakfast. Saturday was so good we said tomorrow we are getting this again. Monday will be our last day so it will be our final visit. (Cries in Spanish) Tip: Come early with patience. It appears most staff get there at 8 am. Family owned and operated! Super nice staff! Give Grace! They have a VERY inexpensive breakfast buffet. We didn't partake but it's an option. Let's get into it! Waffle - GET ONE do NOT deprive yourself! Two Eggs any Style plus bacon - $12 and so freaking good! Can't really mess up this meal. Corn Beef Hash and Eggs - He got this both days and he LOVED it! Drip coffee was awesome! His Lattes were perfect! We will be back tomorrow for our final meal before we head home. Three times a charm! Come here you WILL NOT regret it! read more

This was definitely my preferred breakfast spot during my stay at Virginia Beach. I got their avocado toast with a sunny side egg. The avocado toast was pretty good and they sprinkled everything seasoning on top. The only thing I wish was that my toast was a bit more toasted and more crispy. My family and I shared an order of pancakes which came with 3 pancakes which was the perfect amount to share. The service was also pretty good and our server was very friendly. read more

Overall I was pretty pleased with our visit here. We visited in the morning during off season and it was not very crowded. It appeared as there was only one lady running it all. It took quite a while to check out as she was also the barista making coffees, taking order, and checking out. read more

I had a rather interesting experience here. I was meeting a friend, and got there first. There was only one other customer there, but turns out he wasn't really a customer. It was a barefoot homeless man who stared at me the whole time, and then started harassing me. Once he approached me the bartender made him leave, but obviously the whole ordeal was uncomfortable. Once my friend came it was better, but we were the only customers the whole time. Service was fine, my sandwich was alright but lacked flavor and they didn't have any cocktail sauce. read more

Cafe Atlantic - Caramel Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Great little breakfast cafe with a buffet in back, tons of seating, an outdoor patio for people watching, and a nice menu. We came after I ran a J&A race with some friends and neighbors for brunch and had friendly service, a large table, and some great people watching. It's much larger inside than it looks with a nice amount of tables and decent spacing in between. They have a small bar area with some pastries and have a nice coffee menu. We were a group of four adults and my toddler and we ordered: -Cheesy eggs (for toddler) -Meat Lovers Omelette -Lamb Gyro -Corned Beef Hash -Monte Cristo Each entree came with toast and home fries (think hash browns from Waffle House-ish) and servings were huge and generous. The menu also has Avocado Toast, Pancakes, Chicken and Waffles, etc. I enjoyed this spot and will absolutely bring friends and family back here when in town. I've walked past 1000x and never come inside. An easy win here and felt like a true local's gem - worth the visit. read more

We ordered the Meat Lovers Omelet, Corned Beef Hash with Eggs, the Cinnamon French Toast, and a pancake. Both main dishes were excellent--the omelet was hearty and flavorful, while the corned beef hash with eggs was cooked perfectly. The Cinnamon French Toast, made with freshly baked French bread, was a highlight-super soft, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The only disappointment was the pancake. The texture was unlike anything I've had before, and it had a hint of citrus that I didn't quite enjoy. Parking usually sucks down at the oceanfront for most places, but to our surprise, this restaurant has a small lot on the side of the building, and we were lucky enough to grab a space. The portion sizes are huge, so we definitely felt like we got our money's worth. There was plenty of seating and a nice vibe overall, though we did notice a slight unfavorable odor inside-not unbearable, but worth mentioning. Overall, the experience was wonderful. The service was friendly and efficient, we were seated and served very quickly. Despite the pancake, everything else was fantastic, and we would definitely dine here again. read more

Cafe Atlantic - Meat Lovers Omelette and Corned Beef Hash & Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The morning buffet was quite disorganized. The eggs had an unusual taste that resembled a cleaning product, which was concerning. In addition, the staff seemed unfamiliar with how to prepare a matcha drink and asked us for instructions, including whether milk should be added. read more

I came here for brunch and got the meat lover omelette ($15) it came out in about 20 minutes. I was surprised by the size of the omelette, it was gigantic probably about 4ish eggs used. There was also a lot of meat as well, which surprisingly was a bit overwhelming. The potatoes were crispy however I'm not sure if they were supposed to be seasoned or not. Adding salt and pepper afterwards and the potatoes were quite solid. Staff were very nice and checked up on us. Overall some fantastic value for the amount of food you get for the price and the taste is quite solid. I would definitely come back again!

For 4 people it was 100 bucks for some mid at best breakfast food. Don't go here it is not worth it for the price.

Was really excited due to the rating but ended up somehow disappointed. We went for a later breakfast and it was almost empty. The place looks really nice and service was ok. We ordered a breakfast combo (eggs, bacon, toast, etc), an avocado toast (these 2 were great), eggs Benedict (that said it would come with a biscuit and it didn't) and French toast (that also didn't come with any kind of sugar or syrup or anything - even though we requested it - it was just bland and just a piece of bread basically). Our mochas were good but tasted more like chocolate milk than coffee really. Overall we had half of it good and right while the other half was "messy". Also not cheap at all, it cost us almost like a lunch out. It was ok but won't come back read more

So good, we went back the following day! We wanted to share pics this time. Yet again, the food, service, overall hospitality, and music were excellent! I wanted an espresso martini but also wanted something warm on this rainy day. Andy created a delicious "adult latte" that was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again, Carrie and Andy! We love this place! See you next summer, if not sooner! read more

We dropped our grandson off at work and decided to look for a place to sit , chat and a bite to eat. I have a list of restaurants that I would love to visit. We came across Cafe Atlantic and decided to give it a try. The decor is very relaxing and beautiful , the service was great and the lady taking our order was very nice and communicated very well with us throughout our visit. Over all I must say it was 10/10. The food was excellent and we will definitely be back read more

There are very rare times when you go to a place for a reason then leave with an entirely surprising and lasting experience. Cafe Atlantic is a true rare gem. I was door dashing, the app wasn't cooperating and there weren't lots of offers. I had always wanted to try Cafe Atlantic and I happened to be in the area with only 30 minutes until closing time. There is a cozy, simple yet modern vibe. The bar was inviting so I picked a seat. There were pastries in cloches on the bar table. Andy (whom I later found out is the owner) was welcoming and warm and personable. He didn't make me feel rushed even when he calmly explained the breakfast buffet closes at 1pm but I can most certainly order from the menu. I ordered the avocado toast with choice of how I wanted my egg cooked - sunny side up. The avocado toast came out seemingly fresh, the egg perfectly cooked to my liking. I unfortunately got a door dashing order so only had time to eat the egg and was given a box for my toasts, which I thoroughly enjoyed on the road, with everything but the bagel seasoning providing the toasts with just the right amount of saltiness and texture. The unexpected part came when Andy was kind to offer iced water (with twist of lemon) for me to take with me while I door dashed. Not only did this brain child of a restaurant manifest in its ambiance and food, but its spirit was in the care that Andy takes to make sure his customers were taken care of - now that's more than just an establishment, it was a sense of community beyond what is served! Cafe Atlantic is definitely infinitely a place I recommend for everyone to try. What you won't see are the far more stars than the 5 stars I can rate with this review. Thanks Andy, for the conversation, the water to go and the wonderful feeling beyond the delightful avocado toasts! read more

Overall decent food and service. The new server did her best and had help from others.

We had great food, fast service, and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. They have a breakfast menu, but also have the option for the breakfast buffet. It was super clean and well maintained. Would definitely go back. read more

We stopped here for a quick bite because it was right across from our hotel. It is the off season so it wasn't busy at all and the owners were extremely attentive! The bartender was awesome and made a great iced espresso for me. We got the eggs Benedict and the avocado toast and both were fantastic. We will be back!! read more

Lovely staff and amazing iced coffee; buffet had variety for all breakfast lovers!!!!

Food was ok, very basic and kind of bland. Daughter got the chicken and waffles---it was a waffle topped with three chicken tenders that were like rubber. My husband and I got eggs with toast and bacon, which was ok as far as diner-style food goes. Service was pretty quick. read more
