This is an addendum to my precious reviews. Service by staff is wonderful. My only complaint is the chips and dip order. I ordered one with chili con queso. The "chili" portion was more like refried beans at best. Looked unappetizing and tasted worse. Word to Cjbrna Cafe: real chili would come a long way please!

The Cinema Cafe is a fun for the whole family movie and restaurant that is fun for little children like toddlers as well as adults. This is such a fun place to go to when you want to have some food, beverages, and watch a great movie! There is a bar that serves all sorts of adult drinks and a full menu with great food right in the lobby area if you just want to stop by and not even watch a movie. We opt to always come for a new movie that is out and have dinner and drinks while watching it. The burgers and fries are always a to go for us. I never take a picture of the food cause we're eating it inside the theater while the movie is playing and want to be considerate! The Cinema Cafe is clean and the seats are always enjoyable and I always dress warmly cause it tends to be chilly in there and recline my seat up for extra comfort. You have to pre choose your seat when you pay for the movie ticket so there is no walking in and choosing an empty spot. This is one of my husband and myself favorite all in one date spots!

Service excellence 5. Out waiter was the best. Nice and clean in the theater and bathrooms were also clean. We have been to this location a few times and always good. The food was good but I took a star away because 13 dollars for 5 potato skins was double the price . Both my husband and I thought they should make 5 skins for 6 or 7 dollars . But 5 for 13 dollars . Because each makes them $2.60. That's ridiculous

Love this theater!

Food : I love the mini corn dogs . Service : Jules in theater 3 was awesome . A senior member asked about the AC and she was just happy to answer to the best of her ability. She is just a happy servicer . Cinema Cafe is blessed to have her . The room was clean and very well updated.

Great movie viewing experience We dropped by Cinema Cafe to, believe it or not, see a movie. I'll say that we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that movie tickets are half off for Wacky Wednesday so two tickets were like 10 bucks! What a deal! The theater was pretty clean - none of the stereotypical sticky floors littered with popcorn. Also, the chairs are pretty large with plenty of leg room. The food was above average, compared to other cafe-type movie theaters. We went with a meat lovers (I forgot the cutesy movie name of the pizza) and chicken tenders, which we enjoyed. I thought the food prices were very reasonable especially for a movie theater. Since we arrived a bit early for our movie, we grabbed a couple of drinks at the bar. Our bartender, whose name has slipped my mind, was awesome. Also, our waitress, Bella, was great. My only (minor) issues were the movie screen was a bit small and the sound system wasn't amazing compared to other theaters that I have visited. Like I said, these "issues" are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Overall, I had an excellent experience and hope to make this our go-to theater.

Awesome seats that only recline buy footrest comes out of nowhere !

Wow, my family had not been in this cinema cafe since their remodel. Have to say I am very impressed. Gone are the old office chairs and they have been replaced with comfortable recliners that have USB ports and power recline with footrest. The screen looked updated so you can see it even in lighted situations. The sound system also sounds better. The food was good but not what it should be for the prices they are charging. I got the Philly cheesesteak which comes with fries but we ordered an additional basket of fries as my wife really liked their crinkle cut fries. Five stars for the new and improved theaters and loungers.

Through these long and strenuous times with many of us taking our time to start coming out to our regular places or even new ones for that matter. It does take a lot more to put us at ease, to even want to mingle at a new place or event, but with people working together it has helped and improved. Specially when some businesses are going out of their way to make it safe and comfortable for you. This can be said about Cinema Cafe, and their friendly masked staff that works non-stop to keep the theatre safe and clean for all of its customers. With the replacement of the sofas, chairs, and tables with brand new recliners with each its very own table to accommodate each person safely. With menus available at each table in a small slot under the table or some can be delivered to you at your request once you press that red button for service. So enjoy your favorite new movies comfortably and safely.

Cinema Cafe is the only movie theater I go to. My sister, Aurora, now works here as a food runner, which is all the more reason to go for me. The food is always delicious, although a little expensive as expected for a cinema. Service is always quick and attentive, and the seating is comfy. There are buttons to call your server and there's a charging station for your phone. The Kemps River location semi-recently added recliners to their theaters, so you can lean back and enjoy the movie. The pizzas are really popular here, but I always go for the Megaplex platter. There is something for everyone and plenty of it to go around - you get chicken tenders, mini corn dogs, mozzarella sticks, pretzel bites, chips and cheese, boneless wings, and onion rings for $26! Not bad at all. I have not taken pictures of my food as it is quite dim in the theater and I didn't want to draw attention to myself and use flash. I am so happy to live where I do where Cinema Cafe is my local theater. I have been coming here since I was little and have always loved it to this day. Definitely catch a flick here if you haven't been already! I will be back to watch Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero when it comes out!!

I love their options of drinks an biscuits, I've especially been craving their bacon and cheddar biscuit since I've last had it, and it's nice to go to a cafe that dos things a little differently than the standard! One thing I also adore about this location is how they will host small markets on the lawn outside the house! One time me and my friend finished chatting and having coffee and we unknowingly walked outside to see a bunch of vendors that weren't there before! It was so fun to walk around and speak with everyone, they were all so sweet and I ended up buying multiple things unplanned! I will say it can be a tight squeeze between the doorway and the counter when ordering as the hallway is small and the line can grow rapidly. But if it's not cold outside or busy there then it's not really an issue at all! I'm sad that they aren't open past 1-2PM most days, but that's understandable given the business they run and thier location! Overall, I couldn't recommend tho place more for anyone wanting a new study spot or place to try out in general in VB!

The walk up was debris free. The shop has a lot of coffee and some merchandise for sale. I wanted to try a coffee and baked good. They are known for their blueberry scones, but I went against the grain. The Vegan Blueberry loaf appealed to me. With it being later afternoon the bakery Cade was pretty bare, but blueberry scones continued to crank out. They also had a coffee special, a carrot cake latte. Service was helpful and friendly. The dining room has a decent amount of space to enjoy a brew and treat inside. Outdoor seating is limited, but they do have it. The decor is pretty dark and rustic with wood tables. I chose a table in the rear that was clean. After around 5+ my blueberry loaf was called out by my name. It was warmed up and pretty good. Being vegan it was not as sweet, but I liked it. Another 10+, too long in my opinion my name was called for coffee pick up. At that point most of my load had been eaten. The coffee was pretty good, not blowing me away. I would like to return to try more. 3+, rounding up.

The vibe is laid-back and relaxed, and the aesthetic is really cute -- great casual breakfast energy without feeling rushed. The staff was very friendly, and the place was clean, which always makes a difference. The croissant breakfast sandwiches were delicious (pro tip: add egg to the ham and Swiss). The bagels were decent -- not NY level, but still solid. The coffee was good, though they didn't have Splenda on hand, so if that's your thing you may want to bring your own. My son ordered the strawberry smoothie and a chicken wrap -- the wrap was generously sized and he really enjoyed both. Overall, a cozy neighborhood spot with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere.

I stopped by for coffee and pastries and admired the atmosphere and cultural touches throughout the shop. I came early in the morning, and you could already smell the fresh pastries and the aroma of the coffee as soon as you walked in. DRINK REVIEW Buko Pandan Latte - 4/5 Ube Velvet Latte - 4/5 Sakura (seasonal flavor) with Strawberry Foam - 5/5 I originally got this for my sister, but it ended up being my favorite. PASTRIES Pepperoni Bread - 3.5/5 - Decent. Pandesal with Spam, Egg & Cheese - 3/5 My least favorite, but still decent and kid-friendly. Ube Pandesal with Cream Cheese Filling - 4/5 My favorite pastry of the bunch. Biscoff Ensaymada - 3/5 A bit dense, but the Biscoff butter icing was good. The flavors overall were good, though I personally would've liked the coffee to be a bit stronger. The Sakura Latte definitely stood out the most for me. Overall, this is a solid Filipino coffee shop in VA Beach that's worth checking out if you're in the area.

We were able to use the back room in the cafe that had a large table and provided a cozy setting with lots of natural light coming through the windows and cute macaroon-shaped pillows on the chairs. We had hibiscus tea and peach tea for the table to share. The peach tea was everyone's favorite, it didn't even need any added sugar. It was served in cute pastel teapots, though one of the teapots had a chip at the spout which made me a little nervous. We also had macaroons made in-house for the table. I can't remember if I asked the staff if any of the macaroons were dairy free, but I asked my friends at the table and was told there was dairy in them. I later asked the staff if there was any food they offered that was dairy-free and they showed me their pastry counter but ultimately determined that everything offered had dairy, so all I had while at the café was the tea. The ladies I was with loved the macaroons. I wish I could have had some. I recommend at least 1-2 food options be added in the café for folks who have a dairy allergy. Café Genevieve provides a nice atmosphere for tea with a unique setting -- in a 1734 house that is decked out with Parisian decor. It's not the most private setting -- it got pretty noisy during our time there and there were a few interruptions to our conversation. We should have asked if we could have closed the door, because that definitely would have helped with noise and privacy. Overall, the customer service was great and the tea was really good! If you want to meet here for a private event, conversation, or just want some peace and quiet, that back room with the door closed could provide it. It's a nice café to check out.
