Active, alive, good choice of pastry. Good service Recommend for meeting a friend for coffee

The coziest coffee shop in VB! From the baked goods, to the specialty drinks, Colattao has such great offerings. There is something for everyone here! I loved the cozy atmosphere here, especially the cute mismatched plates, mugs, and saucers. It feels like you're stepping into someone's chic and welcoming home. The cheese danish & leek and parmesan were absolutely delightful. My husband loved his vanilla cinnamon horchata and I loved my house coffee. Definitely the best hot coffee I've had in VB. We will be back! read more

Boy, is Colattao a place to be on a weekend! I saw the busy parking lot, but found a spot pretty easily, as I walked up I saw the no laptop rule on weekends due to crowds, and once I opened the door I was greeted by a line snaked to the door of about 15 people in front of me. I almost bailed, but it moved quickly and probably only waited about 5-10 minutes total. There is a ton of seating inside, each nook and cranny seems to have a different feel, there are bar seats in front of the windows to maximize seating and there are comfy leather chairs by the fireplace and a mix of nooks in the back areas with decor and mood lighting. Definitely the thing home-y coffee shops are made of and there isn't another like this in the area that comes to mind. Friendly cashier and a gorgeous, stuffed glass case filled with cookies, cheesecakes, babka, muffins and many other delicious treats. All looked wonderful. They have about 5-6 warm sandwiches and seasonal monthly changing coffee flavors above and beyond the normal menu. Vibes inside are strong - I LOVED the decor and the comfy feel with a fireplace in the center, mismatched chairs and wall art and beautiful odds and unique ends from all over. It's really cool. I went lite on this trip as I had just finished brunch with a friend. My iced oat milk latte (large) was pretty watery and only tasted like oat milk with no espresso so, I'll have to give it another try on a day not so busy. I wouldn't come specifically for the coffee based upon that experience, more for vibes and pastries to hang out during the week if I find myself in the area. But, based solely upon that, I would 100% come back. read more

Finally had the chance to try Colattao after hearing so many great things about it and it did not disappoint! I went the past two weekends in a row and everything we tried was delicious and satisfying. So good that I didn't get any good photos. Some of the food options we tried were the California sandwich, crumb cake, & cruffin. The California sandwich is amazing and a must try! The crumb cake and cruffin were also very good, but more on the sweeter side and my wife enjoyed them a lot! We also tried the strawberry vanilla matcha drink, matchai, coconut hazelnut latte and the spiced French vanilla latte. All very delicious and beautifully crafted. Even though it can get busy here, I don't feel overwhelmed at all as it is spacious and cozy inside. This spot is a must try and somewhere I'd go back often, not good for the wallet! Lol! read more

Always great, friendly service at this beautiful place!! The drinks and pastries are always so fresh and delicious!! We ordered the Chai latte ($6.75), the Dulce Banana ($9), the Coco Beach ($8), the marshmallow cookie dough cake ($8.75), the Triple Berry tart ($5.95), and the small box of 8 Alfajors ($12). Everything was fresh and flavorful, however, as with everything else, pricier as well! read more

Colattao is everything you want in a coffee house. Cozy, gorgeous decor, delicious food and of course, amazing coffee! The seating is a little tight because it's a little smaller inside with usually a LOT of people. But for good reason! The service is nice, the bakery items and food are delicious and uniquely flavoured! While it is a little bit pricey, it is definitely worth it in my opinion and worth the extra wait time (don't forget to tip your hard working baristas/servers!!) read more

Came back home to visit family and wanted to check this place out. I first tried going around 10am on a Friday and it was packed. No seating available and the line was literally to the door. I tried again around 11am on Sunday and it was still very busy, but the line was a little shorter and we were able to find a seat. I'd definitely come prepared for a packed house, because a friend warned me about that before I went and they were not lying. That being said, the atmosphere was great. The decor and overall vibes were really unique and honestly just nice to look at. Everything was clean, well run, and the staff was helpful. The cashier answered all my questions and helped guide me toward my breakfast choice. I ordered the chicken and apricot sandwich and it was delicious. It had chicken, cheese, and what I'm assuming was an apricot spread. There wasn't an egg on it and I did expect one, but it honestly still tasted great without it (not sure if adding one is an option). I also got the churro latte and it was really good. Everything felt intentional, even down to the plates and cups. You can tell a lot of thought went into the experience. The only downside is the seating situation. The place fills up fast, and once it gets crowded it's hard not to feel rushed when people are standing over you waiting for a table. Overall though, the food, coffee, and vibe were worth it. read more

Yes! Go here and try everything. That's what we did, we ordered a little bit of everything and it was so good. They redid the location so there is more room to sit and relax. They gave a bunch of options when I had questions and I'm so glad they did. What we got: The apricot chicken sandwich 10/10 The churro latte - extra sweet 9/10 Beef empanada - 10/10 Strawberry cheesecake - 8.5/10 Apple cruffin - 7/10 (needs more filling) Pan - 4/10 Salted Maple Latte - 6/10 read more

I've been hoping to try this place since my sister tried taking me here for my birthday but they were wrapped around the corner busy. Today, even though busy we were able to get in, find a spot for 3, and order within 20 minutes. We tried several things, but my favorites would be the Apricot Chicken Cheddar sandwich on a Croissant, the Churro Latte, beef empanada and strawberry cream cheesecake. We also had the bacon,egg, and cheese sandwich on a croissant, Apple Cruffin, and Cheese Pan. The Apricot Chicken Cheddar is the perfect balance between sweet and savory, where the Churro Latte was sweet and perfect amount of cinnamon. The cheesecake, I normally am not one to jump on finishing a dish by myself but there I was licking the fork clean. The flavor reminded me of the strawberry cream hard candies from when I was younger. The cheese pan is basic bread, good but I wouldn't grab it again. The bacon, egg, and cheese croissant didn't have much flavor beyond what you'd expect, I still really liked it though. The apple cruffin, was not too sweet but good nonetheless, I wish it had more apple but it was nice. Service from what I was able to see was great, they even had someone walking around picking trash left on the ground. My sister was the one to wait in line and order so other than the young ladies who brought out our food or picked up the plates from the table I couldn't not say. Everyone I did encounter was very pleasant. The cafe is small, but there are a lot of areas for different size groups. The look is very cozy feeling and we enjoyed our spot by the fire. read more

I have been WAITING for this place to open back up, and I was not let down!!! Amazing coffee, amazing ambiance, and amazing pastries. Do I need to go back weekly to get something new? Probably so! We went at 3 pm, which is an hour before closing, and the place was packed as if it were 10am on a Saturday. Now I know why!! Very worth the drive from Norfolk. read more

Cute place. Definitely has good vibes and good pastries. The music is a little loud. This place definitely leans in the direction of a true chic coffeehouse that inspires wonderful conversations. Ambiance here is superb. If you've come to work on your laptop, it's all a bit distracting. But, again, that's totally not the point of this place. It's worth the drive out here. Service was pretty good too. read more

I've been here a few times, twice since the remodel, and I love coming here each time. The vibe is amazing. I love all the plants and the neat decor. The fake fireplace in the middle with seating on either side is a great touch. They've recently gone to laptop free weekends (including Friday) and I think it's amazing! It's nice to have a place to sit and chat with friends. I love their churro latte. They have a great selection of bakery items, but I haven't tried any of them yet. They also have a small selection of sandwiches if you want something like a meal. The service is nice and friendly. If you get your order for in store, they'll bring it to you which is a nice touch. read more

Met up with my cousin at this charming, cozy coffee shop--bustling yet inviting. The dark chocolate habanero drink paired perfectly with the spinach and feta croissant; both were flavorful standouts.

I just moved to the area and have been trying to find my new coffee spot, and this shop definitely makes the list! From what I understand, they've recently expanded, but it's still too small to handle the amount of people there on a Saturday morning. However, the service was fairly quick, and the coffee was really good! I got a salted maple latte and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't try any baked goods this time, but their display window was full of amazing looking treats! I think during a weekday would be better to find seating, but the vibes were still good! read more

I have visited 3 times now and each time I get an iced house brew and a mixed berry scone. Colattao has the best black coffee in the 757 hands-down. and if you've seen some of my past coffee reviews, if you can't make a regular black coffee, you shouldn't be a coffee shop! The house brew is flavorful and it's been made perfect all 3 times so you know it's the real deal. The mixed berry scone... soooo yummy. One day I will try something else but for now, I am 100% satisfied. Also, it's only $10 for a large coffee and scone, I'll pay that any day for this kind of quality. The staff has also been very friendly and they're very quick!! read more

Colattao Coffee House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Went here for the first time with my husband and two close friends. We arrived at 8:20AM on a Saturday morning and the whole place was packed, lucky our friends got there a few minutes before us and were able to get a table. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant with the cheese on the side (gave it to my husband because I have a dairy allergy), and a chai latte with soy milk. My husband got a BEC sandwich as well. The chai latte was so good and really comforting on a cold day. They served it in a cute but sturdy mug. The atmosphere was busy but cozy with the decor and lighting and warm temperature inside. We enjoyed our time there. The only caveat I would say is be careful going there if you're in a rush because even on an early Saturday morning, 20 minutes after they opened, there was a long line. Also, the coffee shop is pricey. I think the cheapest item on the menu is five dollars. I would definitely go again, but probably eat beforehand and just get the chai tea since that's a specialty. If you can get a table, I also recommend sitting in the shop, because it really elevates the experience. I didn't get photos from inside the coffee shop while there because it was so packed that I would have had a bunch of people in the photos. Looking forward to going back again though. read more

My roommate and I decided to go to Colattao in Virginia Beach after a long day of furniture shopping at Ikea. I loved the interior of this coffee house; it felt very homey and relaxing. You could tell that this family-run business spent a lot of time thinking about the decor of their shop. There were many couches and seating areas for folks to sit and enjoy their drinks or pastries. Watching the family interact with each other behind the counter was heartwarming, and they got our drinks and pastries out very quickly. I got the regular hot latte, and my roommate got the matcha lemonade. Both were very refreshing and made us feel energized. We shared the pistachio chocolate cronut filled with vanilla cream, and it was the perfect companion to our drinks. In addition to coffee, they also sell super cute little trinkets and merch that I'll have to go back to purchase! read more

I've waited months upon months to try this place. It was always so packed that I'd just turn around and leave. I went today (a Tuesday 4/7 around noon ish) still very busy but only had a few people in front of me which was great! I ordered the coconut matcha and the breakfast sandwich. Wanted to keep it classic to start. The Coconut matcha surprised me. Normally I have to say less sweet at places but I forgot to but it was perfectly balanced. The coconut was there but it wasn't over powering the earthiness of the matcha. I loved it! The breakfast sandwich was delicious, it wasn't anything crazy but it was just what I needed after having my infusion at bayside hospital down the street. I'd recommend this place to anyone. I'm actually excited to come back and try other things! Maybe the chicken apricot next? What a great coffee shop! read more

This coffee shop in virginia beach is cute and cozy. The atmosphere is inviting despite the crowd, definitely perfect to meet up with friends or enjoy a casual coffee date. The menu is super creative, with so many tempting options that it's hard to choose. From croissant sandwiches to cakes, muffins, and other baked goodies, everything looked yummy. We tried the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich and the chicken apricot sandwich, both were delicious. The chicken apricot had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet, which made it really stand out. The drinks were pretty good too, beautifully presented and comforting, especially with their seasonal selection. While everything tastes great, items are mostly on the pricier side for portion sizes. The staff greeted me with a smile, were helpful and answered questions related to the menu, they also tend to be occupied in their busy atmosphere. Overall, its a charming spot with cool vibes, a great place to try at least once. read more

This might be one of my new favorite coffee shops! My drink and pastry were both delicious. The staff were super friendly and the service was fast. The place itself is super cute. The only "issue" is that it's so good that it's justifiably popular so it took a bit of time to find a table. I also personally wouldn't want to work there because it was loud but plenty of people were doing work. I can't wait to go back! read more

Colattao Coffee House - My yummy egg and cheese croissant and cappuccino. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I finally made it to this coffeehouse. Thankfully, I went during lunch on a day there wasn't much traffic. I don't even think I waited a full 2 minutes to order. Everyone was so nice (from the young lady that took my order to the ones that brought it to the table and assisted me wi the a to go box). Additionally, the decor is very cozy. I went with a friend and we had no trouble carrying on a conversation. I could do without the music choices, however. They played covers of popular classics from greats (i.e., Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, & Frankie Valli)... and they weren't good. BUT, the food! I enjoyed my Apricot Chicken (sans Cheddar) Croissant and dairy-free Churro Latte. I requested almond milk for my latte and was assured the syrup used was dairy-free. (I pray so.) My friend got the same order but with dairy and enjoyed it as well. The only drawback for me is the pricing. Our order (2 croissants, 2 lattes, and a scone) was over $45. This will be a splurge/I deserve a treat spot for me. read more

Colattao is such a cozy spot! The decor is warm and inviting, filled with art that gives it a creative and welcoming feel. It's the kind of place where you can easily settle in with a coffee and get some work done. The barista was super friendly and offered recommendations since it was my first time. I went with the ham and cheese croissant, which was buttery, flaky, and absolutely delicious. Definitely a great choice! For my drink, I ordered an iced americano with brown sugar cinnamon and a dash of almond milk. It was smooth, perfectly balanced, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I'll be ordering that again for sure. I also couldn't help but admire the pastry case-- everything looked amazing. I already know I'll be back to try the crumb cake next time! I'm really looking forward to returning, especially with my laptop to get some work done in such a relaxed environment. If you're looking for a great coffee shop with a welcoming vibe, delicious food, and friendly service, I highly recommend checking out Colattao! read more
