    Breakfast Burrito w/ Sausage and a side of fruit
    Jordan B.

    Had a pretty solid breakfast here. We came in with a larger party of six on a Saturday, and it was pretty packed. It's small inside, so be prepared for a wait unless you get lucky like we did. We were able to snag a table outside right when another party was leaving. They have a quaint little menu with typical breakfast items and lunch fare. I ordered the breakfast burrito and added sausage to it. It was pretty good, and the salsa added a little kick to it. This with some fruit and a glass of oj made for a very solid breakfast. Be patient with the servers, and keep in mind that a little bit of kindness goes a long way since it does get packed here. Every time our server came to the table, she was really nice and apologetic about the wait. I'd definitely come here again and try something else on the menu.

    This was an amazing place to eat brunch, when we were on a weekend getaway for our anniversary! The breakfast was delicious, an everything bagel, toasted, with cream cheese, smoked salmon, fresh garden tomatoes, red onion and capers. Served with fruit. I enjoyed this meal a lot. The service was great and I love the location! Highly recommend!

    The cafe instills the small town vibe from the atmosphere to the food and service. The people inside are so personable and kind. The food was delicious and came quick!

    Chicken salad sandwich

    Had lunch at the charming restaurant in the heart of Cape Charles. Great service and possibly the best chicken salad sandwich I've ever eaten! Shout out to our waitress Amy!

    Good food and coffee! The service was slow but there were not too many servers which is understandable. Overall the people were friendly

    Fruit parfait with vanilla yogurt

    Came down to Cape Charles for a wedding and looked around the area. 2 male waiters took our order and their service was excellent! It was really busy as expected since we went on a Sunday morning. Ordered a Chai Oatmilk drink and it was delicious!

    Double Espresso

    We were on our way home from OBX and we were looking for a breakfast spot and found Cape Charles Coffee House! I don't know where they get their coffee, but their espresso was FANTASTIC!!! I'm still thinking about it. I had their Brioche French toast. Oh my!!! It was the BEST french toast EVER. My granddaughter had a BLT, which she loved. My wife had the two egg platter. The restaurant was packed, So the food took longer than I like, but everything was wonderful! The ambiance was old western saloon style. French Toast

    pancakes and fruit were awesome

    Food was great as well as ambience. Service was slow, but waiters working very hard. Appeared to be short staffed. But would def return.

    Serving coffee and breakfast. Check the store inside coz it will bring u back to the old age. Nice architecture. The awning of the shop was taken off so you might missed it. It has window display like a store but it's a coffee shop. Call to check for hours.

After we crossed, we realized quickly there was almost nothing of value to stop at. That was until my wife saw the sign for Buttercups. We saw the good rating and hurried over. Super cute Lifetime special movie looking cafe in the middle of a tiny town that once had a Indian Reservation. My wife had a bagel with fig, mascarpone, and more on a cinnamon bagel. A+. I had an order of biscuit and gravy and it was amazing. Not oily or sludgy, it had a nice spicy kick, wasn't salty at all, and was on the flakiest of biscuits. For dessert?? A kick-butt chocolate croissant. It IS a bit pricey, but I WILL stop here any time I pass by. Heck, it was something special to see one of the servers snipping fresh mint out of a garden bin for a meal. Definitely a MUST stop. P.S., these people were super friendly and anyone saying otherwise needs a hug and nap - period.

We drove to Eastville on a Saturday morning because we found this adorable coffee shop, Buttercups, online. Although we only tried a cookie, no other food, the sweet potato snickerdoodle was to die for! So soft & flavorful! The ice lattes were delicious & we enjoyed sitting outside on the nice porch. The shop was very busy for a late Saturday morning, but the service was super friendly & we moved through the line quickly.

Service was great. The two younger girls helping me choose items were fantastic. They seemed to care and help They have delicious shortbread offered in various flavors. I have never had coffee flavor before, and that is unique. They also had chocolate chip, cranberry orange, lemon, and original. Those are the flavors I remember. I purchased a peanut butter cookie and that was so good! It had a nice soft center with a slight crispy outer edge. The peanut butter flavor was strong but not over powering. I will definitely be purchasing more flavors in the future. Pair it with a delicious coffee or tea and your set. They offer other baked items and offer a few sandwiches. I have never eaten them, but I have seen them. They look appetizing, and they are jam packed with ingredients. Their hours will fluctuate during different seasons, so be sure to check into their hours before visiting.

While walking along Mason Avenue, I made reservations at The Shanty, and it turned out to be a great choice. The restaurant is just a short stroll from the main shopping area, down by the docks. You can park for free along Mason Avenue or drive directly to The Shanty, which has its own parking lot. One of the highlights was enjoying fresh seafood on the open-air porch with beautiful waterfront views. The atmosphere was relaxed, charming, and perfectly summery. They also had plenty of options for the kids, including mac and cheese and chicken fingers, so everyone was happy. I ordered the fish tacos, while my mom enjoyed the seafood chowder and a wedge salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for after a day exploring Cape Charles.

The Shanty is not a large restaurant, but it has an amazing bar and great views from their deck on the bay. The service was great and our server created a "no rush" just sit back and relax vibe, even though they were busy. The drink menu has a nice selection of cocktails. My wife, an orange crush connoisseur, said the Shanty's crush was very good! They also have a nice beer selection including local area craft beers. The Frogman Lager on the menu has been one of my favorites when I visit VA, so it was nice to see on the menu. We started off with a 1/2 dozen local oyster, which were nice and sweet. The crab dip was amazing and full of crab! We split the shrimp Po-boy. The sandwich was loaded with plump tasty shrimp on an amazing roll. Typically, in beach towns the shrimp Po-boys are skimpy on the shrimp, but not at the Shanty. Overall, a great visit and a place we'd return.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a whimsical, nautical meets industrial interior. Think exposed brick, quirky elephant and octopus artwork, and cozy seating that feels both inviting and upscale. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your meal and soak in the unique ambiance. As for the food, it did not disappoint. I started with the Ale & Onion Soup, and wow. This was comfort in a bowl! The robust flavor of Guinness melded perfectly with the caramelized onions, and the bubbling gruyère on the toasted bread points just took it over the top. It was savory, rich, and perfect for the chilly day. My friend went for the She Crab Soup, and couldn't stop raving about it. Creamy and absolutely packed with local crab meat. The puffed oyster crackers and a sprinkle of Old Bay were the ultimate finishing touch. I managed to sneak a bite, and it was heavenly! We also asked the bartender for a fun cocktail, and they whipped up a bright, lemony drink that was as refreshing as it was beautiful. It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, served with a citrus twist. Service was great. Friendly, attentive without hovering, and happy to make recommendations.
