    I recently visited Fathom, a cozy, charming coffee shop I discovered after leaving the Old Beach Farmers Market.  They are conveniently located off Baltic Ave and have  plenty of free street parking (No fear of getting towed)  The interior is small, with a limited waiting area, but the outdoor seating in the back is the true highlight. It has tables and umbrellas overlooking a beautiful flower and vegetable garden. I was especially impressed by how dog-friendly Fathom is; my dogs were welcomed inside just like any other guest, and there are even pictures of their furry guest on the walls near the entrance. Their prices are very affordable & reasonable, especially compared to other coffee shops in the oceanfront area. On my first visit, I ordered a hot caramel latte with almond milk and an iced white chocolate mocha latte, and both drinks together were just over $11. They were well-balanced and delicious. My Second visit I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks. I ordered a hot coconut drift latte with almond milk, my daughter a watermelon lemonade and a pup cup. I was really impressed with the service my dog received, as they made their pup cup from scratch! The drinks have consistently been high in quality and flavor on each visit. It's worth mentioning that they don't serve food, but they do offer some pre-packaged snacks for purchase. Fathom has officially become a part of my Saturday morning routine when I visit the farmer's market. I highly recommend giving Fathom a try if you're in the area; you definitely won't be disappointed!

    So crazy story...I actually I found this place while looking for another coffee spot in the Vibe District. It is definitely a hidden gem, and I shouldn't say a "hidden" gem because it was packed lol. I stumbled across Fathom Coffee one Saturday morning. The inside is very small with 2 tables in the inside. The line was pretty long which was good sign. That meant it must be good. It would be a place that I grab the coffee and go because I sat in the chair while waiting on my coffee to be made and I felt like I was in the way because the line was long. They do have seating outside. One thing I noticed was that prices were extremely reasonable. There was so much to choose from and I ordered the vanilla shaken espresso with oat milk. They didn't upcharge for the milk which was a plus. My coffee was delicious! I can definitely see why the line was long and will be returning soon!

    This coffee shop is for people who genuinely care about their coffee. They roast their own beans, list the origins and explain the flavors. Their drinks are thoughtful and designed to bring out the flavor of the coffee. The shop is small and cozy with a very nice garden outside for additional seating. Service was quick and they even gave me a coupon to come back. It was well worth the walk from my hotel on the main strip for this. A guaranteed stop next time I'm at the beach.

    Loved it! Tranquil and the perfect coffee hideaway I ordered the pour over to keep it simple on my first visit. I added the maple flavor syrup (can't remember the full name). It was good but needed sweetener to balance the taste. Can't wait to return!

    Back at Fathom with the Hampton Roads coffee passport and what can I say? I'm glad we tried it again. I got a fantastic latte that I really enjoyed and my husband enjoyed his nitro cold brew. The baristas were great and friendly and it was a great way to spend our Friday morning. I wish they had sippy lids for the nitro and more seating. Otherwise, great experience!

    As a dog mom, the dog wall of fame easily won me over. Yummy coffee too- I got the first Watch special and it tasted like a blueberry muffin in a cup. A tad on the sweet side for me, but still very good. My dog got pup cup, which was hands down the fanciest pup cup she's ever gotten. Very nice workers, cool vibe. Great visit for dog parents!

    Saw great reviews about this spot and it did not disappoint! I got a drip coffee and I love how distinct and simple my coffee tasted. started my day on a good note! would highly recommend this spot for some good coffee, and cute photo shots.

    Good coffee, a bit pricey though, $5.00 for a small cappuccino, same for a small latte.

    First time in, customer service was great. They recommended an iced vanilla latte with caramel drizzle and cold foam. It's amazing!

    Love a great cold brew, and fathom coffee did not disappoint!! As soon as you walk in you are greeted with the aroma of coffee!! And a friendly greeting! When I asked them to let me look at the menu it my first time visiting , they informed me of the process of the coffee and the story of the beans they have. I told the ladies I love a nice strong cold brew coffee with caramel! man was that a great nitro coffee so smooth and tasty!! Don't worry I will be back! I'm trying all the local coffee shops!

    So sad that Fathom was less than desirable. I've heard rave reviews about Fathom and have had it on my "to-try" list for over 6 months. Finally made it over this weekend and I should have listened to my sense of smell when we walked in and both immediately looked at each other and stated that it smelled VERY weird in the establishment. My first thought was "OOPS, they terribly burnt that batch", but the stickers on the wall stating "never burnt" eased my mind LOL. Sadly, it was un-drinkably (is that a word?) burnt and a complete waste of $6. The only saving grace for the 2 stars rather than 1 was the delicious cold foam served atop. Since it most definitely could have been an off-day, I will probably try it again in the future, but for now, a bit turned off.

    The exterior sign was down during my visit, but I came in through the back:) The outside could use some refreshing, BUT the murals adorning the building's walls are incredible! Def worth a visit!

After he selected a cinnamon bun, I ordered it heated. A moment later, I added two more cinnamon buns for my husband and daughter. The cashier visibly rolled her eyes at what was literally a two-second delay in completing my order. I then ordered a coffee, a dark chocolate latte with almond milk, a cookie, and a gluten-free biscotti. My total was around $21, and I added a $5 tip. While my card was still processing, another customer walked in. The cashier repeatedly told me, "You're all set," even though the card reader had not finished processing my payment. The interaction felt rushed, as though I was being pushed aside for the next customer despite there being no line. While waiting for my order, the barista called out a "decaf latte with almond milk." Since I had ordered a dark chocolate latte with almond milk, I let her know it wasn't mine. The barista immediately appeared irritated and looked ready to dump the drink. The cashier then clarified that the ticket said "dark chocolate," not "decaf," and it became apparent that the handwritten order had been misread. The replacement drink was made while the barista loudly slammed equipment and banged metal tools around, making it very clear she was unhappy about having to remake it. The entire experience felt hostile and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, none of the employees were wearing gloves while handling food items, which raised concerns about cleanliness and food safety. Based on my experience, the customer service was poor, the atmosphere was unwelcoming, and the food handling practices were concerning. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand, as several other customers appear to have reported similar issues. There are plenty of coffee shops in the Virginia Beach area that value customer service. I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.
