Kobros is hip, clean, and dimly lit for your hipster coffee aesthetic dreams. The menu is a little small but mighty in the quality they offer. They have rotating fun flavors for latte lovers both casual and connoisseurs. The location is closer to Colley x 21st st., so plan to park (for free!) either in the shopping center or street parking. The staff is approachable and have great recommendations. The guy who served my friend and I convinced us to get their matcha latte, and I got it with oat milk and lightly sweetened with their house0made vanilla syrup. read more

I like the coffee here and I live nearby but it is definitely not a place to hang out. Basically there just aren't comfortable places or nooks. I usually understand where reviewers are coming from but am mystified on the over- the - top reviews in the same time frame. But darn good coffee. Better than the chain a block away, by far. read more

I have continued to enjoy returning to Kobros to enjoy their uniquely flavored craft lattes. The flavor changes each week; check out their Instagram to stay up to date! This week was a blackberry lime zest latte, which I decided to try iced. It might sound like a strange combination with coffee, but I have learned to trust Kobros when it comes to crafting perfectly balanced flavors with their drinks. They are skilled at finding that just-right blend of coffee, sweetness, and fresh flavor. read more

I'm very much an aficionado of coffee, and Kobros is by far the best coffee shop in the 757. Bar none. Quirky and creative vibes throughout the space and the menu. The rotating craft lattes are unbelievably good, and I'm not at all someone who drinks flavored lattes. Properly brewed third wave espresso (seems to be rotating, which is incredible). Incredible (and fresh, which is key) retail coffee selection, albeit small. Only pet peeve, they're closed on Wednesdays. read more

Kobros is my favorite coffee place in Norfolk! The service is always quick and friendly, the specialty craft lattes are amazing and so creative, and the shop is nice and clean. It's a small space so it isn't great to do work in, but is perfect for grab and go. Their craft lattes change flavors each week and each one I've had is somehow better than the last. I also appreciate that they're one of the very few coffee shops that don't charge extra for oat milk. If you haven't tried Kobros yet, you need to! read more

Service was friendly and fast. Asked for vanilla sweetener and they told me they make their vanilla flavoring in-house, which was good! I asked for half&half for my cold brew, but they only had whole milk.

I really dig KOBROS set up and aesthetics. It's very inviting and the staff are super friendly. I ordered the Peach Latte with oatmilk because it's apparently going into the vault this season. At first I was hesitant but I'm glad I tried it. It's really rich in flavor for a latte and I wish I had ordered a larger size. If you're craving some coffee on a Saturday morning I highly advise you stop by KOBROS to get you right! read more

By far my favorite coffee spot in the area -- I try to come over the bridge every week for their unique delectable craft lattes. My husband who is usually a "just black " coffee drinker, usually a pour over, drip, or cold brew, also has opted to ordering the craft lattes because they're that good. Kobros has a lot to offer to their clients and you receive the best customer service. Not only do they sling out delicious coffee, but the brothers who own the establishment are personal, kind, and just all around great people. This is a must stop by kind of place! Can't wait for the them to open up shop later this year. read more

Coffee was great, definitely know what they're doing in there. They got our drinks out very quickly too. There wasn't a lunch menu but they had a handful of baked goods. The store itself is relatively small, not a crazy amount of indoor seating either, although they do have some seating outside. It's kind of noisy inside due to the coffee grinders and whatnot but it's not bad at all. Atmosphere is moody with dimmer lighting but is still cozy with plenty of natural lighting and plants. read more

Hands down, best coffee in the area. My fiancé is a total coffee snob, and was very impressed the baristas were being so particular about the shots they were pulling and paying extra attention to detail like extraction rate, grind setting as the day goes by, etc. This is literally the ONLY coffee place around here we have been that also gives you a free drink with a purchase of a bag of coffee beans. (Why this isn't a common practice around here is a mystery--coffee beans cost $15+ for 12 oz!) Their craft lattes are delicious! Had one with a cara cara orange syrup and another with cherry. it's a bit loud inside for my taste, but who cares. This is THE place! read more

I will be the first to review this wonderful caffeination station in the rail roads district of park place! Beforehand whenever I had not yet tried Ko Bros , I though "another café, when there are already café?" But my friend told me I would be a silly person to not go try the craft coffees from the kobro as they are big coffee experts and ethiosoasts, and boy am I happy that I did! The pore over was made with love and care and the brothers were very nice and kind to explain all of the difference coffees that they had and the tasting notes. They are like coffee somaliers! Specialty lattes and classic espressos, the Kobro do it all! And the best of all is they are brothers (which is why it is named that) so it is a family business. There hours are only Saturday and Sundays, but when you need the weekend Java to put the pep in your step, you should give them a try and have the coffee there. read more

There were quite a few people working on laptops, but it didn't feel stuffy or too quiet ... just a comfortable, low-key buzz that makes you want to stay a while. I started off with an iced americano topped with strawberry cold foam. The foam itself was a little thicker than I expected (it was more "whipped cream" than "cold foam"), but honestly, it was delicious. I'd totally order it again. The flavor combination is chef's kiss. A little sweet, a little tangy, and it adds something fun to a classic drink. For food, I went all in on the Box Car Sandwich. If you love grilled cheese, you HAVE to try this. Oozy pepperjack and cheddar, crispy bacon, tomato, avocado, all sandwiched between slices of perfect sourdough. And the special sauce on the side? I could have eaten it with a spoon.

I recently discovered the most amazing coffee shop that has completely changed my coffee game. This place is not your average coffee shop. It's a specialty coffee shop that serves the most delicious craft lattes with unique weekly rotating flavors using only the freshest ingredients. The first time I stepped into this coffee shop, I was greeted by the most friendly and knowledgeable baristas who were eager to share their passion for coffee with me. They asked me what I liked and recommended the weekly craft latte which was made with fresh mint and dark chocolate. I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try, and oh my god, it was mind-blowing! The flavor combination was perfect, and the espresso was top-notch. Since then, I have visited this coffee shop every week to try their new weekly craft latte. I have never been disappointed. Each latte has its unique flavor profile, and the baristas take great care to ensure that every latte is perfectly crafted. The ingredients they use are fresh and locally sourced, which makes a big difference in the taste and quality of the drinks. What I love most about this coffee shop is their commitment to providing an exceptional coffee experience. The baristas are passionate about their craft, and it shows in every drink they make. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. Overall, I cannot recommend this coffee shop enough. If you're a coffee lover, you need to check it out. The craft lattes are out of this world, and the baristas are some of the best in the business. Trust me; you won't be disappointed! read more

Kobros Coffee is a great spot for good coffee and a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee tastes fresh and well made, and you can tell they care about quality. I've tried a few drinks here and everything has been consistently good!! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the place feels comfortable whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or sitting for a while. It's clean, not too loud, and has a nice vibe! Overall, it's a solid coffee shop that does things right. Definitely one of the better spots around, and I'll keep coming back!! read more

Kobros Coffee is an okay spot for a casual coffee break. The drinks are decent, but not always consistent in taste. The cafe has a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, which is nice for sitting and working or chatting with friends. Service is generally friendly, though it can be slow during busy hours. Prices are fair, but overall the experience is average--good for a quick stop, but nothing particularly special!! read more

Tried the tacos here. They were alright. The fish was a bit overcooked and dry. The toppings were fresh, but the overall taste was lacking. Price was reasonable, but I expected more flavor. Service was friendly. read more

Might be the best coffee in the 757. Between Craft Lattes and amazing single origin Espresso. No small detail is overlooked.

Had a flat white. It was okay, but the coffee lacked depth. The ambiance is nice. Prices are reasonable. Would visit again.

A very uncomplicated black coffee that came out quick was all I ordered. They offer bakery items on Wednesday thru weekend from Chelsea Bakehouse. My coffee was amazing! Did not ask, but pretty sure it was an Ethiopian variety. They also sell their own beans. I would love to return.

My husband and I are regulars at Big Ugly but I've never taken the opportunity to try Taxus Street until this week. I tried to come on Monday and quickly learned they were closed, so returned the following day. They operate inside the brewery and have a nice setup in the corner. There is lots of seating - bars and high tops - and it's a great spot for a morning gathering. There was a meeting in the upstairs loft happening during my visit. The barista who assisted me was working solo. She was super friendly and happy to answer my questions. I was glad to hear they offer decaf espresso. I opted to try one of their seasonal lattes - the Mounds Bar latte with almond milk, mocha and coconut cold foam. It took only a few minutes for my order to be prepared. I did find the drink to be slightly sweet for my taste and would ask for half sweet on my next visit. For the lactose intolerant, they have almond and oat milk options. They also have several pastries and some hot food options to choose from like overnight oats and breakfast burritos from Burrito Perdido. I was really pleased with my recent visit and I'll be happy to come back soon!

They have a great espresso and many good flavors, the dark chocolate being my favorite. This coffee shop can feel a little small but only during super peak busy hours. In general, it's the perfect size, being so comfortable that I find my girlfriend and I staying here for hours to either read, talk, do homework, play on our nintendo switches, etc. The staff here are also so nice to talk to, I find myself missing them whenever we leave. As for the food, I don't order food here too often so I haven't tried too much, but a super slept on pick is the pesto chicken sandwich. Holy amazing it's delicious. Price point for the coffee here is very reasonable with a plain latte being somewhere around $5, which is definitely better than many coffee chains.

When we were there, a group of young Moms were enjoying coffee as their Children enjoyed a play area just steps away from their Moms.

A very pleasant employee greeted us as we arrived. I chose the S'mores latte which was absolutely phenomenal, as was the snickerdoodle cookie. The egg scramblers in the display case looked so good, we got those to take home with us. I will definitely be returning to this gem. On the way out I noticed a water bowl just outside the front door for dogs. Great coffee and pet friendly, who could ask for more?

So we wandered over to Pinup Coffee at Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery, and we're glad we did. I ordered the Salty Texan, a delicious take on the classic caramel macchiato. It was smooth, well-balanced, and just the right combination of sweet and salty. I would definitely order it again. The seating was comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it turned out to be much more than just a stop for coffee. We struck up a conversation with a wonderful mother and daughter visiting from Wisconsin. During our chat, the daughter shared that she was getting married later today. It was one of those unexpected moments that reminds you how enjoyable simple conversations with complete strangers can be. Great coffee, outstanding doughnuts, comfortable surroundings, and memorable conversation--it made for a wonderful morning. If you're visiting Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery, Pinup Coffee is well worth a stop.

I could really taste the flavor notes, you can tell it's freshly roasted and ground and prepared correctly. They roast the beans here, and overall, I think the inside is super comfy. They have all sorts of different seating, from tables and a couple booths to couches. They also have a small kids area, with a couple games, books, and coloring, which is a huge plus. There's board games too. From downtown, you can take the LRT to the last stop and then walk on the bike/pedestrian path here, it's a pleasant walk. Bathrooms were clean, and there was a baby changing table in mine. Highly recommend!

It was so good that I ended up buying a whole bag of coffee to take home. I got the Main Street Espresso, and it has amazing notes of chocolate and berry--smooth, rich, and delicious. The staff also recommended the food, so I ordered the chorizo burrito. Honestly, that's what pushed me to write this review. It was incredible. This place nailed everything: the atmosphere, the coffee, the food, and the people. I'll definitely be back--possibly as soon as tomorrow!
