I haven't had Kohr Bros since I was a kid, and I honestly forgot just how good it is. On a hot…read moreVirginia Beach day, this really hit the spot. The frozen custard is light, airy, creamy, and super refreshing without feeling heavy. The Oceanfront has leaned hard into over-the-top dessert trends in recent years. Giant milkshakes loaded with candy and towering sundaes are fun to look at, but they're not always what you want when you're walking the boardwalk in the summer heat. Sometimes simple wins. My little brother and I both appreciated having something that actually cooled us down instead of weighing us down. It was a nice little nostalgia trip, and now I remember why Kohr Bros has been a Virginia Beach staple for so many years. We'll definitely be back.

There is nothing quite like grabbing custard right by the sand, and this spot delivers exactly what…read moreyou want on a hot day. The chocolate peanut butter twist in a cup is a classic combo. The peanut butter flavor was spot on--present and flavorful without masking everything else, though I did find myself wishing the chocolate had just a little more depth to it. The team behind the counter was efficient and welcoming, making for a quick in-and-out experience despite the beach crowd.

It was refreshing and pretty tasty! They also offer vegan options, including vegan ice cream, which is a great choice for anyone looking for a dairy-free treat. One thing to be aware of, though, is the pricing on the add-ons. It appears the prices may have increased, but the price board has not been updated. The board lists add-ons at 50¢, but we were charged 75¢ for each add-on. Because of this, the final total was higher than we expected. Hopefully they will update the price board to reflect the current pricing so customers know what to expect when ordering. Overall, we would recommend this place for a cool and refreshing dessert, especially for those looking for vegan or dairy-free options. Just be sure to double-check the add-on prices!

A must stop if you have company visiting. They have a great flavor offering and you can also build your own ice if you'd like. I've been a few times, but recently I took my nieces and they both decided to get the Mug flavor which is not a fruity flavor. It leans towards cinnamon, root beer and coffee flavors and it was surprisingly soooo good. I cannot wait to get that the next time I go. I also recommend their Pitaya in Paradise which has dragonfruit and lime as well.. Honestly, you can't go wrong as long as you pick typical flavors you like. Check them out the next time you have a free day to vibe out. The staff is super sweet and friendly and are willing to answer any questions. They're really patient.

After some investigating, we realized that the whipped cream tastes like it was made with equipment that had previously been used to mix something with peppermint. Maybe a mint ice cream or a mint whip, but it tastes like the dishes were not properly cleaned before making a regular whip. It was subtle but enough to take over the entire cupcakes. My other issue is the presentation. I would say that it looks like whoever made these needs a piping lesson but it really looks like they just need to care a little more. Grateful for the person who ordered these cakes for me and I will definitely enjoy them still but the makers definitely need some work. On a brighter note, the ice cream, cake, and chocolate cups were delicious and the cakes were delivered still frozen.

Everything was ready upon arrival and the fellow working there was friendly. Unfortunately, the funnel cake was over fried and crispy. I like mine more on the soft but crunchy side for the texture. It also had too much powdered sugar on top. Same goes with the Bavarian cream stuffed churros. Too sweet and over fried. Not exactly a great combination. There was also no dipping sauce accompanied with the churros. There's also no seating available inside or outside the shop. The ice cream selection looked interesting. However, I would be afraid of the mold and other issues due to the dripping condensation it had inside the display case. Probably a pass and no return for me.

My go to dish is the Chicken Picatta which comes with chicken breast in a tangy lemon sauce with capers and angel hair pasta This place is always busy, so expect to be waiting 15+ minutes for a table if you just show up. Service is generally great, but last night it was off.. the waitress brought us cold bread and no butter, when she dropped the bread off, she mentioned she forgot the butter but would bring it right away. 15 mins later she came by to ask for our order and I had to ask about the butter from 15 mins ago and requested new bread because the bread was cold.. it took over an hour from when we were seated to get food in front of us. That is way too long.. so after all was said and done, the waitress dropped off the bill and the minimum tip starts at 22% and goes up from there!! I ended up tipping around 12% because the service was very sub par to previous visits. Even tho we had a bad experience, I still highly recommend Cheesecake Factory for special events. They have a large selection, lots of varieties of cheesecakes for dessert, and you get large portions for the high prices they charge.
