Got the breakfast bagel and caramel macchiato. The breakfast bagel was super warm and fresh, no complaints other than it lacked taste, but was still good! The caramel macchiato didn't taste too much like caramel but still had a great coffee flavor. Will be back to try new things read more

Burgers were really good! You order at the counter and wait, but it didn't take too long. I want to go back and try something different and their coffee. Lots of seating and a nice atmosphere. read more

My friend, godkids, and I stopped through Saturday around noon. We both thought it was a sit down style restaurant. However, it's not! You get line to leave your order and then you can sit indoors or they have a very nice patio area. I enjoyed the Mediterranean wrap, my friend had a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant, and the kids had a chicken quesadilla and the chicken sandwich. The wrap was very delicious!! Fresh ingredients and came with chips and salsa which was a nice touch. I definitely would go back to try some of their other menu items. read more

My husband and I found this place while staying at a hotel in Newport News . We got there shortly after they opened; Everyone was up and awake and friendly! You go to the counter to order and they let you know when it's ready. I really liked their breakfast selections. Many different ideas. Every thing we got was hot and tasty. Coffee was good as well. I would recommend to anyone staying near the university. I got a scramble that was really good- it came with a yummy cheesy potato cake that was unexpected and delicious. read more

Stopped in with some friends on a Wednesday morning. Large drink and food menu. Kind service from the workers behind the counter. Drink only took about 5 minutes to make. I decided to go rogue and get an orange frothy frozen drink and no coffee! It was very good! Sort of reminds me of an orange Julius! Plenty of seating inside and even a patio outside. read more

Captain’s Den - Orange Freeze - Cafes Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

I stopped in here on a whim when I was in the area. Perfect for someone dining alone or a great place to get some work done with a cup of coffee in hand. It is an "order at the counter" type of place. They have a little menu with breakfast all day items. Also tons of coffee options. They have baked goods as well (including biscotti!). I tried a cappuccino and the breakfast quesadilla with sausage. The quesadilla was MASSIVE - literally enough for two meals. It was hot, fresh, and tasty for a diner type meal. I'd recommend adding extra salsa or doing what I did and adding hot sauce to the quesadilla for a little extra flavor! Overall a great place to grab a quick coffee or bite. Easy to get to. Fast and friendly service. Large enough cafe with plenty of seating. Casual atmosphere. read more

Captain’s Den - Breakfast Sausage Quesadilla - Cafes Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

I don't know why I've not gotten around to writing a review for the Captain's Den! This is BY FAR my favorite local coffee shop/cafe to work at recently. It helps that it's right across the street from my workplace, but beyond that the food and beverages are great. The portions are HUGE, so I always have half left over to eat later in the day. I've tried all kinds of stuff on the menu - french toast, waffles, omelettes, scones. Breakfast is tight. The only thing I've had that I'm not a fan of is the breakfast plate potato casserole - it's loaded with mayo or something that makes it taste kind of weird. On the lunch menu, my absolute favorite is the french dip sandwich - sooooooo good. But I also sometimes dip into the BLT or chicken tenders. I prefer the sweet potato fries to their regular fries. The soups are always good too! But what makes it super awesome is that the staff is always super friendly, and they always have some kind of decent music selection going on. Even when it's busy, it doesn't get overly loud acoustically. Overall, it's just a great spot to hang out and get some remote work done. read more

Cute little do-it-all cafe! Regardless of what you are craving, you can probably find it here on their menu! Plenty of seating inside and outside, quick and friendly service, and food comes out quick! Portion sizes are more than enough to appease a college student's appetite! Breakfast platter was delicious and you can't beat the price for $10! Great mix of students catching up and also studying here - would definitely swing by here if you need a no-frills bite or a place to catch up with friends! read more

Captain’s Den - Breakfast Bowl and Carmel macchiato - Cafes Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

First timers here and we were welcomed at the door by a very pleasant woman who took a quick minute to show us the ropes about self seating and ordering. We ordered the breakfast burrito and breakfast sammy in sesame bagel. The burrito was delicious and ample, but the breakfast sandwich on the bagel was truly exceptional! Perfectly cooked griddletop scrambled eggs, folded into a nice and neat square, placed on top of crispy bacon and a slice of american cheese. The bagel was crispy outside and soft on the inside. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had, and that's coming from a guy born and raised on Long Island, NY where we don't mess around about our breakfast sandwiches. Coffee was great and if we lived here local would make this a regular spot for sure! read more

This is a cozy spot across from the CNU campus and a popular spot from the number of customers when I was there. Parking is nearby if not right out front. Inside is a real hodgepodge of art and graphics with a wide range of seating options. They offer Aromas coffee and a wider set of food offerings for breakfast that I've seen in any other coffee shop. I had the Denver scrambled with wheat toast and grapes at it was filling and good and a pretty good value for the money. Aromas coffee is always good. Overall a nice place to stop if you are in the neighborhood. read more

The place is located just off the CNU campus. So it feels just like one would expect a campus coffee shop to feel. Perhaps a bit too hip but still enjoyable. I'm more familiar with the Williamsburg location. Since we were in the area, decided to give it a try. The baristas are pleasant. The one who made our drinks was singing to the music. She had a lovely voice and it made me smile seeing her so happy. Always a good sign when the workers are happy. Now to the drink. The snickers latte is my favorite. This location did an excellent job making the drinks. Just the right blend of spices and coffee. Not too sweet and not too bitter. Removed one star because the other customers were strange. They stared at us when we walked in as if we didn't belong. They made us feel like intruders and very unwelcome. It was the oddest thing. No, they were not college students. They were all older than 50. I doubt I'll return because of this. Sorry for "intruding" on your local spot ... sheesh. read more

Captain’s Den - Snickers Latte - Cafes Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

I would have given a 5 star for food but my delivery was over 30 min late and by the time it arrived my espresso was cold and my whiskey burger was too soggy to eat with the bottom bun. The burger and fries were also cold. The flavors are great and the portions are worth the price. Unfortunately the delivery didn't allow for me to get my order fresh and hot. I would definitely order again but doubt that I will have it delivered. read more

This is a very cute cafe near CNU and Riverside Medical Center. I recently enjoyed the iced Snickers latte and the waffle breakfast sandwich. Takeout service was prompt. The sandwich was huge with thin layers of scrambled egg and two sausage patties, but the lightly sugared yeast waffles made it exceptional (for those who like a hint of sweetness with their savory). I'm looking forward to another visit and trying other menu items! read more

Captain’s Den - Waffle, Egg, Cheese & Meat Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

Let me start by saying my food was delicious, but my wife found a hair in her food after about three bites. When I took it to the counter, the cashier acted like he couldn't see a dark black hair on top of the food. The manager did the same thing, and then tried to refund the one item that came with an entire platter. We told them we wanted the platter refunded, but not the entire order, because again my food was great. We still had to explain that she didn't want to eat anything on a plate that had a strangers hair on it. I was very put down about the experience, and I would like to go back, but please keep in mind that if this happens to anyone else they may not handle it professionally. read more

The service was excellent! I appreciate the staff taking time to answer my questions as I placed my order. The "honey do" latte with almond milk was delish as was the bacon breakfast sandwich on gluten-free bread. They loaded the sandwich up with plenty of bacon, scrambled egg, and cheese. It has a cafe vibe with plenty of seating. They even have seating near the windows, with lots of sunlight. I can't wait to go back and dine in so I can have my java in a mug :-) read more

Best cafe in Newport News and possibly the 757. I've tried so many cafes around this area and across the USA.. this cafe is simply one of the best! Ive been a regular here for around a year, I recommend the iced mocha latte- it's simply one of the best you'll ever have anywhere. All the food I've had has been delicious. The staff is always friendly, the ambiance is always great. The cafe is super open with two of the four walls being mostly windows so you get great natural lighting and that especially helps the always decorated interior. They decorate for every holiday and have little art pieces at every table. Great Coffee. Great Staff. Great atmosphere. 10/10 cafe! read more

The food was good. However there aren't any waiters you pick the food up yourself from the front. The don't have pork substitutions so no turkey bacon or sausage. They also gt my husband's order wrong when he asked what he could have to substitute the pork he didn't eat. Overall the food had good flavor and I would try again. read more

Great friendly service. Good food. More specialty pastry choices, like Sfogliatella, would make even more special place to eat. read more

Captain's Den is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's a great place to grab a drink and bite to eat while you're doing work/homework, catching up with a friend, or even a date night. They serve Aroma's coffee and specialty drinks which are always the best. They also serve alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, and other fun drinks! The food is a wide range from soups, salads, sandwiches, and other hearty dishes. Everyone who works here is positive, friendly, and makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. My go-to drink order for the past few years has been the Captain's Mocha. Today I tried the Breakfast Quesadilla with sausage which was huge and very filling. Overall, I highly recommend coming here! read more

Love it here! Food is great, drinks awesome and lovely place to catch up with friends no matter your age!

Stopped by here after a doctors appoint early around 8:30AM. Staff was friendly and patient as it was my first time and wanted to review the menu. I ordered the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant which was bigger than expected and really yummy. I also ordered the Ham Strata which came with fruit the strata was alright and the fruit was really good and fresh. Lastly I ordered a Snickers Latte iced and it was amazing. You can taste the quality of the coffee here. I'd definitely come here again if I was in the area and wanted a nice pick me up. The restaurant is pretty spacious and seemed like a great place to get some work done. read more

This place is over a 45 min drive, but I WILL BE BACK. I happened to be in the area for a meeting and really prefer local restaurants. I found this little gem tucked in the corner of a shopping strip. I walked in and was treated like I had been coming here for years (at this point, I might). The place is really clean. The food is simple, cost effective, but delicious! Really good coffee, but they have special coffee stuff as well. I ordered my breakfast of sausage, hash brown casserole, eggs, some fruit and a bagel. I also grabbed this really thick cinnamon roll for later.... It's going to be a long day. read more

Aromas is simply my favorite coffee shop in Hampton Roads. The food is good quality, and they have a good variety of options for people like me who don't care for coffee. So I came to Captains Den for my spiced iced chai tea latte. It was ready within 3 minutes. I love tasting the spices, I don't want to taste watered down milk, which is what some shops will serve. The space is kept clean, and they have an outdoor patio. Only thing I don't like is I wish they had a few more outlets but in the wide open space, those are hard to come by. read more

The Captain's den is THE place to go. I have been to this cafe numerous of times, and I always try to tell friends about it. when you first walk in it is a pretty open area. it is literally right across from CNU. You can sit either outside or inside depending on your preference. There's couches and big enough tables to sit with a fair about of people. The area has cute pictures all around the area to where it feels like a small cute museum. There is a wide variety of food options and drinks. My personal favorite food is the Belgian waffle topped with strawberry and butter- very fresh and warm. I also love each and one of the iced coffee flavors i've had so far. the workers are super welcoming and sweet. They make sure your order is right and it doesn't take long till your food and or drinks are up. Definitely my favorite place to go! read more

There are so many cool and unique flavours and types of drinks. The food is amazing as well. I get the turkey on focaccia sandwich every time I come in and it is incredible! The service is also incredibly fast, and the food is usually ready within five minutes of ordering! The environment of the cafe is very pleasant and cozy as well. I'll definitely continue coming here! Definitely the best cafe in Newport News. read more

I actually really like this place, the coffee is good, the food is good although the bagel sandwich was extremely bland. The breakfast burrito was amazing. The one thing that ruined my experience here is one of the workers was singing extremely loud the entire time I was in there. She ruined the ambiance of the shop, the vibe, the calmness. I would never sit in here and try and do work if she was working. read more
