    WOW what a cute little spot north of Williamsburg!! One of the best cafes I've ever tried - everything was good. The staff was so nice even when things got rather busy. There's plenty of parking with their little lot plus the one across the street. I got a matcha latte (heavenly) and the grits & shrooms with added shrimp. The cost was a bit pricy but the serving size made up for it!! Wow it was so much food and their other offerings also looked large and delicious. Food came out quickly and I hope to return to try some of their freshly baked goods (that cake looked SOOO good)!

    Desserts-not flavorful!

    I came back with a friend and was seriously let down by 6 of the 8 items I ordered. Drink wise I ordered an iced tea and it tasted nothing like an ice tea. Disappointing! Food- ordered the sides and 2 out of the 3 were good! Side salad and mushroom good flavor. Pot roast-inedible due to so much salt! All I could taste was salt! Soup of the day-broccoli cheddar- very liquidy which yes, it is a soup but weird consistency for this kind of soup. When I reheated it at home it thickened up some but not a strong flavor. Desserts-sadly they all were all disappointing! Took them home to have a dessert trip to share with my husband. Looked good but the taste was not there! Brownie- looks like it would have this rich chocolate flavor but it didn't'! Cheesecake- lacked the flavor! Ugh! Chocolate chip cookie was the "best" but literally only had 4 chocolate chips in the whole cookie. The contrast of having salt on the top was not there bc all you could taste was salt cookie. Will not be back!

    Gorgeous little spot. The staff was incredibly friendly with beautiful smiles. We ordered the dingo and butterscotch latte as well as a sour cherry tart and salted caramel cake. The lattes were lovely. The dingo was perfect for me as it's not too sweet. The butterscotch was too sweet for my liking but my husband did like his choice. The sour cherry tart was delicious. The two things I wasn't fond of was how the to go pastries were packed to go which made it more precarious to carry. It also would have been nice if the tart was offered to be heated. Outside of that everything was lovely. We will definitely return and dine in next time.

    This Oatmeal is amazing!!

    If you're looking for great food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere, check this place out. The food is absolutely beautiful and delicious. The service is so friendly and helpful. They have unique drinks that cater to non-coffee lovers like myself. My favorite is the Hohl fog. Now if you love coffee, they have an amazing selection and presentation. I also enjoy going there by myself or with friends. I can enjoy my meal inside and outside and get some work done or I can enjoy a great meal with friends. They do not disappoint.

    Came back for the first time here in a year because last time the coffee came 1/2 way through the breakfast, which was awkward. This time I ordered a coffee and a sandwich and took a seat at a table. They came out with a to-go small coffee which I preferred a large but then they came out with a to-go breakfast setup. So now Im awkwardly sitting here eating breakfast with to-go plastic utensils and a huge sandwich in a small box, when everyone else has nice plates and utensils and such. Food is great and the coffee is empty, wish I had the large one!

    Love love love ! Amazing food , great service It is super loud inside but they have shaded outdoor seating . Coffee is excellent!

    Latte with "Dingo" house-made syrup (honey, cinnamon, vanilla) 10/10 recommend
    Sara Diane B.

    Atmosphere is very cozy, hipster, and inviting! I got a pumpkin bread slice... sorry, not my favorite. But I grabbed cheesecake slice for my mom, she loved it! The latte was pretty small but the "Dingo" syrup made it top notch. Had one there and took one to go!! Service was good; everyone was nice!!

    Cardamom roll
    Piper A.

    I finally made it out to Toano to visit Hohl. The reviews got it right! Great vibe, good service, lots of GF and vegan options and yummy coffee. The food star of the day for me was the cardamom roll which I enjoyed out on their picnic benches. If you come on Saturday pair this with the adjacent open air farmers market!

    Yummy

    I'm so glad this little gem is in historic Toano. They have done an Amazing transformation of the old building. It gave me to total Hygge vibe with the clean white and wood accent decoration and all the beautiful plants inside. I was most excited for the alternative milk options and vegan options. Something the Williamsburg area is lacking. The young lady at the counter was knowledgeable about vegan options and very pleasant. I would have never thought a vegetable sandwich could be so good but it was incredible. My husband had the slow roasted lamb sandwich and he loved every bite. We were too full for dessert so brought home with us. We also had the iced Chai Latte and Iced Lavender Latte and couldn't be more pleased. Only downside is only open till 4pm would love to pop in after work and take some of this yummy food home for dinner.

    Yummy! I had to make a pit stop at Hohl and see what the hype with the newest cafe was. What made me most excited is that they carried gluten free options. This building is small and quaint with the cute Toano, VA love you sign on the fence. The atmosphere was welcoming as soon as I walked in. There were 3 gf options: a brownie, Salted Caramel Cake and a muffin. The staff was great in explaining that there is possible cross contamination which I appreciate. I wanted a caffeine free beverage and was sold on the blueberry soda as they make the syrup in house. I also got a slice of Salted Caramel Cake to go. I drank the blueberry soda within 10 minutes it was so tasty! I look forward to going back as there is much more on the menu to explore.

Our food came in about 15 minutes. We didn't have the best service-the server was friendly, but it took forever for us to get her to come take our order and we had to ask someone else for refills. We asked for several things during our visit and always had to wait at least five minutes. It took 10 minutes for us to get our bill after we asked. She checked up on us one time. You have to pay at the counter on your way out, and that did take quite a while because of people getting coffees and desserts. It would be better if the waitress could take payments. I will definitely come back for the food. Hopefully the service will be better. Don't miss out on this gem!

Other times I sat down and enjoyed a late lunch or early dinner. When I was there for lunch or dinner, the waitresses and staff were helpful. I always enjoyed a soup and sandwich. I have always lucked out with parking on the street almost out in front. The area is so cute. Almost like you are in a cute Hallmark movie, of maybe Gilmore Girls. They have wonderful beverages. I had a chocolate covered strawberry latte when I was there one day. It really hit the spot for my drive home. I enjoyed their fresh tomato soup, and sandwich with pasta salad. I brought cupcakes home to enjoy with the family. They are a pretty good size. Overall, this is a hot spot in Gloucester. I highly suggest checking them out.

I have been going for the past year, and they are consistent every time. Recently we went as a family. The vibe was amazing as usual. Warm, welcoming, and effortlessly charming. The staff? Always incredible. They're genuinely friendly, super attentive, and their recommendations never miss. Now the FOOD. We ordered a mix of sweet and savory, and every single item delivered: The peach pecan streusel crêpe was pure comfort warm, buttery, and perfectly balanced with that sweet, nutty crunch. I usually get extra caramel drizzle. The French toast crêpe. Imagine your favorite brunch classic leveled up into something soft, rich, and absolutely indulgent. The Nutella and banana crêpe is a crowd pleaser, especially for kids. It's creamy, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweetness. The turkey, goat cheese, and avocado panini brought the savory side. The flavor was great, and came with kettle chips. The drinks were just as fun and unique. The butterfly pea flower lemonade, was not only refreshing but visually stunning. We also got the mango soda and a blueberry soda, both bursting with flavor and kid approved. Everything about Café Davina just hits right. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the people. It's one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel good, and then leave already planning your next visit. If you're looking for amazing crêpes, a cozy vibe, and consistently great service. This place is it!
