    Tiramisu
    Krisha B.

    Kensley's Açaí and Coffee is a charming Puerto Rican-owned café tucked into a convenient shopping center, which makes parking a breeze--always a plus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is cozy and welcoming, with a mix of indoor seating options and one two-person table outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's even a larger table inside that would work well for small group meetups or casual work sessions. The menu features a nice variety of pastries and drinks. A friend and I shared the tiramisu, which had great flavor but was a bit on the stale side--possibly not super fresh, though still enjoyable overall. I tried the dulce banana latte and was pleasantly surprised. The milk-to-espresso ratio was spot on, and while the banana flavor was subtle, the drink wasn't overly sweet--which I appreciated. My only gripe was with the cold foam add-on; I paid extra for it ($1.25), but it was served with a dome top, which doesn't quite deliver the cold foam sipping experience I expected. Minor "first world problem" though, and I'd definitely order it again. I'm curious to return and try their açaí bowls next time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, a solid spot with a warm vibe and potential to become a local favorite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Went for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was clean, staff was nice and service was fast and good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the turkey sandwich and peach lemonade. Both were good.

    Service was fast and everything was great. Went later in the day and they still had bakery items available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has indoor seating only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I was so excited to hear there was a Puerto Rican cafe close to where I live that I had to check it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right when I walked in I could hear them playing Marc Anthony on blast which hits the mood just right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really wanted a sandwich so I ordered the Kensley Sandwich. Chicken, bacon, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato, sweet plantain and my favorite, on Sabao bread! Ugh! One of many things I miss about Puerto Rico is Pan Sabao! It's so soft and sweet. So yes, the sandwich was delicious. Along with that I got a guava and cheese pastry and a slice of cake to take home. Both were heaven. I met the owners and they are a very nice couple. I will definitely return.

    Randomly found this place online and me and friends decided to try it out. It's in the Grassfield area of Chesapeake, really nice area, good parking lot. Love that it is veteran and Puerto Rican owned! The service was amazing, super friendly they even lend us their portable light to take some videos and photos of our food and drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had music playing and a good amount of seats and table for customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was really clean and neat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks and food were ask delicious and made fresh! Definitely need to come back again to try their fall drinks and smoothie bowls!

    Cute spot!

    Cute cafe in the heart of the Grassfield region of Chesapeake, offering Puerto Rican quesitos (sweet pastries with cream cheese and/or guava) as well as sandwiches and the namesake items noted. The quesitos and empanadas we got were nice - we particularly liked how flaky the crust of the empanadas were. The staff were also attentive and quick to complete my order. Will have to return to try the açaí bowls.

    Dulce de Leche Latte

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hidden secret. Quaint little place to enjoy a cup of coffee and breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best açai bowls in Hampton Roads area. Reminds me of the ones in Hawaii.

    Menu

    I've been two times in only a couple days and I love it. Tried a cortado, flan latte & lemon crème cake. I believe all items are made in house and everything tasted amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They played light music and had a very cute comfortable dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Stopped by KENSLEY'S Acai & Café in Chesapeake and loved it. Ordered the Survivor Beach açai bowl. Fresh fruit and the perfect balance of crunchy granola, coconut, and drizzle on top. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere felt calm and welcoming[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and everything tasted fresh and well made. Definitely a spot I'll come back to.

    Thanks to my dear amiga Nicole, we're meeting up here. What a wonderful cafe! The owner Kendley is personable and friendly. This cafe showcases Puerto Rican beverages like the coquito latte. I will definitely try that next time. I ordered the affogato but instead of vanilla gelato they use coconut gelato - YUMMY! They offer sandwiches and pastries, I can stay here all day! Their cakes are unique and look delectable. I def will take some to go, check out pix! Worth the drive from VB...

    Cinnamon roll!! Not dry. So good
    Windi L.

    There are soooo many mid bakery/cafes in this area... Kensley's is the vibe this area needs and I'm so glad it's here!!! The cafe setting is fun with ample seating and tables to enjoy food or you can do counter service. We have tried the French toast, quava pastries, cortado, and cinnamon rolls. My god. They're so phenomenal. Oh and a strawberry smoothie. First, let's talk about the French toast. Do you ever order French toast because you're expecting some nice fun fluffy French toast and it comes out dry AF? Not here! The French toast taste like an absolute dessert without it being too sweet. It's not too eggy, and the fresh fruit is ample (not just a few pieces later on there- they go all out) Next up, let's discuss the cinnamon rolls. Maybe I just lucked out because it came right out of the oven, but these were absolutely phenomenal. Once again, let's talk about how when we order a pastry and it comes out dry. No no. I don't know if they use a different type of dough variation? But the baked goods portion was very light and fluffy and the icing was very creamy. I have not found a cinnamon roll comparable in quality outside of Dollywood. I said what I said. A super awesome cinnamon roll pastry. The Cortado was made with local Puerto Rican beans. They had some beans for sale so I made sure I bought a bag because the Cortado was absolutely amazing. It didn't taste burnt and the foam to café ratio with spot on. I highly recommend it here. Will be back for a savory break! There's empanadas, sandwiches, and a wide variety of coffee drinks.

    Coquito latte
    Luigi C.

    So happy to finally come and check this place out! At first glance is very clean, modern and well decorated without going overboard. The music is appropriate and added to the enjoyment of our visit. The selection of food and snacks are all tempting so i had to start a to go order. I got some "quesitos" with guava, a bread pudding and a caramel cheesecake... for laaaaater :) I was surprised to find out they had a sandwich named after me so of course I had to go with it, I had the "papi's sandwich" with mayo and a side of sweet plantains. I also had a coquito latte with whipped cream. The sandwich was delicious, not too heavy and a good blend of flavors and textures. The service was friendly and prompt. The owners are right there in the mix working and ensuring the service and the food is satisfactory and the customers are enjoying everything. We visited right at noon and it was just us and another couple, by the time we got our food 5 minutes later the place was packed and all tables were filled! Definitely on our list of must visit and definitely will be recommending to everyone to come and check it out.

    Cherry blossom latte with almond milk,  iced.

We were immediately greeted by the manager owner. It's a seat yourself and order at the counter set up. We hadn't grabbed a menu when we came in and the owner intuitively brought menus to our table. We ordered the avocado smash toast, the Blue Mystique smoothie bowl, and the Greek toast. Service was quick and they brought it out to our table. Each item came out looking beautiful, fresh, and delicious. I sampled the 'cure' cold pressed juice and now I feel like I need to go back to get a bottle to go. Excuse the pics, I always forget to take the pic first when the food comes out looking good, lol. I found the prices to be very reasonable for what you get compared to other "fresh food" fast restaurants. Definitely put this place on your list as a chill place to catch up with friends or to set up your laptop for some work while enjoying a variety of yummy fresh food choices. Oh, I always like to note when places have single stall unisex bathrooms and they did. The service quality and flavor is always my primary motivator when deciding where to eat. BUT I love having the bonus of knowing this franchise location is Bipoc owned/operated.

I honestly only walked in because I wanted to check the place out and had no real plans to order anything, but I'm glad I did! First, the space itself is really cool. It has a darker, industrial feel with wood accents that fits right in with the Ghent vibe. It's a nice little spot with a lot of character. Makayla was working the counter and was an absolute pleasure. She made some recommendations, and I decided on a lavender matcha with their house-made pistachio milk. Somewhere between us chatting and having a genuinely good conversation, neither of us was paying attention to what she was making and I ended up walking out with an iced lavender pistachio latte with espresso instead of matcha. I took a sip outside and immediately thought, "Wait a minute...this is NOT matcha." I went back in and told Makayla, and she immediately realized what happened, apologized, and remade it correctly. No big deal whatsoever, especially considering I literally stood there and watched her make the first drink and didn't notice either because we were too busy talking! She also offered to let me keep the latte since it would have just been thrown away otherwise, so I ended up getting to try both. And that pistachio milk?! They make it in-house, and it is SO good. It has this really interesting nutty, almost umami flavor that I loved. Both drinks were delicious flavor-wise, although they were definitely much sweeter than I personally prefer. Next time I'll just ask for significantly less sweetener. For these, I'll probably blend them with some ice at home to mellow out the sweetness and turn them into frozen drinks. Overall, this was such a random, serendipitous little stop that turned into a really enjoyable experience. Great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and Makayla was incredibly pleasant, relatable, and fun to talk to. I'll absolutely be back, especially for that pistachio milk!

Fresh, clean flavors, and it tasted like quality ingredients were used. No complaints at all on the product--just the value. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for something healthier than typical airport food, but be prepared to pay airport pricing. Good juice, tough price point.
