Walking in, it was very spacious, well lit, and clean. There were a variety of local items/goods to peruse. I went to the coffee area and the staff were so friendly, energetic, and helpful. I got a latte in which I combined pumpkin and cinnamon flavors. The cinnamon was kind of overpowering the pumpkin, which I was disappointed about. Still, Over all, the coffee was good and I gotta come back to try their food options!

It's not easy when you live on the other side of Hampton Roads, but I'm glad to see them do really well over the years. Let's see how they've been. We were greeted by the staff after walking in and foot traffic was minimal. Music was playing througout the building and they were pretty busy with orders. A few people did come in but for the most part, they did takeout. We decided to sit and sip our chosen desserts. I chose their Strawberry Smoothie with strawberry popping boba at 70% sugar and Sophia chose her usual, coconut smoothie at 70% sugar with tapioca. Both of us enjoyed them very much. Not too sweet and full of flavor. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. Once again, a grand 'ol time on familiar grounds. You know for sure we'll be back the next time we come around :)

My sister and I had been wanting to check out Drip N' Sip 757 for quite some time. It's a…read more90s-themed coffee shop, which immediately caught our attention, but since we live across the water, we just never made the time to make the drive. Well, the opportunity finally presented itself when Drip N' Sip 757 was used as the venue for a cake decorating class we signed up for! Since the event was after hours, we weren't sure if we'd actually be able to order anything from the coffee shop, so we were VERY happy to see that the owner was there along with cashiers and baristas, and they were still serving drinks. I ordered a sugar-free raspberry vanilla matcha, frozen, and it was delicious! One thing I really appreciated is that you can get their drinks hot, iced, or frozen, and they have SO many options for customization. They have basically every milk you could ask for: soy, oat, coconut, cow's milk, etc. They even offer both regular and dairy-free whipped cream. There are also tons of different flavors to choose from, plus pastries if you want something to eat. But let's talk about the DECOR because this place understood the assignment. There's a huge mural covering an entire wall by @somitheartist on Instagram, filled with 90s nostalgia. There are references to MTV, All That, and even THAT little "S" we all used to draw by making the lines and connecting them. If you know, you know. Seeing that on the wall immediately took me back. The whole shop has such a fun, nostalgic vibe without feeling overdone. The cake decorating class itself was a great time, but since that was a separate event, I won't get too much into it here. I will say that I really appreciate Drip N' Sip 757 making their space available as an after-hours venue. It's a great way for people to enjoy the shop in a completely different setting. The owner was also incredibly kind and patient with all of us as we stood there trying to figure out what we wanted to order. Everything was clean and tidy, including the bathroom, and I genuinely loved the atmosphere and decor. Overall, I'm really glad we finally made it to Drip N' Sip 757. Between the delicious matcha, all the customization options, the friendly service, and the nostalgia, I really enjoyed everything about the experience. It's definitely quite the drive for me coming from across the bridge, but I'd absolutely come back!

I have been dying to try Drip n Sip, but I live in Virginia Beach, so I had to make it make sense!…read moreWhat better way than to try then out by attending a private cake decorating event! The event was from 5-7 which was after their usual business hours, but all of the drinks and pastries were still available. Mya was one of baristas, and the owner, Melanie, was also present. All very nice staff! Super friendly, personable, and helpful. I tried the Signature Drink called Drip N Sip. It is a white chocolate mocha with caramel, and I decided to get it frozen. I love that all the drinks can be made hot, iced, or frozen. They have every type of milk including coconut, oat, and almond. They also even have nondairy or dairy whipped cream options! Literally something for everyone. My drink came out very fast despite there being about 15 of us, and it was very good! Drip N Sip is decorated in everything 90s! From my favorite 90s tv shows, to music groups, movies, and tv stations, it is super nostalgic! I love all the artwork and the brightness of the place. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and I would definitely come back. I think it is neat the owner even allowed the private event! Definitely worth checking out.

Um YES PLEASE!!!…read more This was a last minute decision to stop when we were on our way back from the farmers market and BOY am I glad we stopped in! Buckroe coffee was one of the best coffee shops I've been to in quite some time, too bad it's on the other side of the water from our house! Walking in you can tell it was once a bank, LOVE older buildings and stories like this! The atmosphere inside was amazing, there were all different types of customers enjoying conversation, working, and just enjoying time in their 3rd place. I ordered a blended mocha frappe. PERFECT on the hot day! My daughter ordered a lemon & white chocolate latte and it was one of the best she has had (and like her mother, she does love her coffee and is VERY picky) My husband went the non coffee route and ordered a Mango smoothie and found it refreshing and finished it in the car on the way home. If you are on the hampton side of the water I highly recommend you stopping at Buckroe coffee. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to head back up to the farmers market so I can stop here again on the way home :)

What a pleasant surprise!…read moreI was welcomed upon entering and the cashier was extremely helpful with what to choose for my first visit. I substituted oat milk in my crème brûlée latte and it was a great substitution without changing the taste of the drink. Not too sweet. My breakfast sandwich was nice and flavorful. Croissant crispy and light, cheese nicely melted. I would have liked my bacon consistently crispy but it didn't take away from the quality or taste at all. Now the açaí bowl...wow! As soon as I lifted the lid, I could smell the fresh fruits. It was a great balance of fresh ingredients. This was my favorite item. Great value for the price and I can't speak enough on the freshness of the ingredients. 100% returning!!

I don't really taste the matcha in their "matcha latte," BUT they do something with the milk that makes it so creamy, rich, and delicious that I honestly don't even care . I always substitute oat milk, so maybe that's part of it, but whatever they're doing, it works. I keep coming back because I genuinely don't think I'll find this exact matcha latte anywhere else. The service can be a little hit or miss. I've occasionally heard employees complaining about making an "annoying" drink, which I totally understand, but maybe wait until we're out of the shop to complain about it. They have a little bit of everything here. Pastries, wine, sandwiches, local crafts, coffee products and other goodies you can purchase. It's also super convenient being in Bridgeport. If I'm going to OrangeTheory, I almost always make a stop here afterward. There's plenty of space inside, plus outdoor seating, so it's a nice place to hang out too.

We did get there quite late and the other staff was cleaning up for the day. I loved the local offerings they also had sprinkled throughout the store. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Suffolk!

As a lover of all things local, Yelp came to my rescue and brought me to Storehouse Coffee shop. I have passed through Franklin many times and never realized they have a downtown(?)...central(?)...main street area. I'll have to go back just to check out all the shops that hadn't opened yet. The coffee shop was bustling with morning energy. I was told there was a meet and greet event going on so I tried to stay out of the networker's way while I admired the art of the walls. I love an impulse purchase and each print had a QR code that took you to payment options right there. I LOVE THAT. What a wonderful way to have unique art in your home and support local artists. And not just any artist but pieces by CLAYTON SINGLETON. I recognized his work from a mural at the oceanfront. I had to stop myself from picking up the beautiful Chadwick Bosman piece right then and there. I might go back to get it because I'm still thinking about it 4 days later. When I stepped up to the counter the entire staff was friendly and helpful with their suggestions on what to get. I love my local craft coffee and was excited to hear their beans were sourced from an "up and comer" in Virginia Beach. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the provider but I'm sure we will be hearing about them more. I went with a basic black cold brew that was exactly what I needed. It is businesses like these that keep an area vibrant, diverse, and attractive. I stopped for a coffee but left feeling light and bright from the atmosphere and service. I live an hour away from Franklin but Storehouse has me planning a day trip with friends to come back and see more...and probably buy some art as well.
