This is a friendly, low key place to grab coffee, meet up with friends, and/or just chill with a book and your laptop while enjoying a great latte. Parking is limited, but worth it if you're able to get a spot. I was traveling and lucked upon this spot, but I would be a regular if I lived in the area. read more

I only came here for coffee... lol but because I'm greedy, I'm noshing on the delightful elderberry shortbread because they're so, so good. I digress!!! It's been a week since I got out of the hospital, and my appetite isn't 100... but this little cafe stimulates my appetite. Everything here is made naturally, without preservatives and most of all love. The ladies here are sweet, chatty and make everyone feel right at home. The music is good and I'm sinking slowly into this couch, which is almost making me feel like going back to sleep. read more

This coffee shop is so darn cute. They have six tables sizable tables, in the front, tons of drinks and sweets and they offer drinks other than coffee. They also offer breakfast and lunch. I tried their watermelon, cucumber mint refresher. This drink is sweet but not excessively sweet, and just as the name implies it is refreshing. Almost forgot to mention that they have a back room with two fish tanks, tables and a comfy couch. read more

Love this little gem of a coffee shop! Honestly some of the best customer service I have experienced in a while. They are very kind and lovely people who work here. The coffee shop has cute and inviting decor as well! The breakfast croissant was yummy. The iced salted honey latte was unique and delicious. They truly care about their community and give back to it as well. I will definitely return! read more

10/10 for everything!!! I ordered the Matcha Latte with Oatmilk and Frosted Mint syrup. It was delicious and the perfect balance that i look for in a matcha! I also ordered the Pancake Sausage Egg & Cheese sandwich. Everything was as expected and more! Such delightful and helpful staff that made my mom and I feel so welcome. Also the fenced in backyard for pups was A HIT!!!! Will for sure be coming back! read more

Laura was fantastic as well as the young lady who made my Holiday Gingerbread House coffee. No changes were needed to that!!

Very cute coffee shop located across the street from the big lot/ Marshalls shopping center off little creek rd. in Norfolk. When I first walked in, I was greeted right away. The employees were very friendly and social. Very chill and laid back atmosphere. On my first visit, I went to redeem my 7.57 deal, which was good for a drink of your choice and a pastry. When I asked for a drink recommendation, they recommended the Spice Apple Pie Chai Latte. The spice apple pie chai latte was really delicious. It was a little sweeter than I would prefer but really good. I also ordered the old-fashioned crumb cake, which was a good balance to the chai latte since it was not an overly sweet pastry. They do not make all their bake items in-house, so make you ask which ones are if that matters to you. I enjoyed my drink and first visit so much that I wanted to go back again to try one of their espresso drinks. During my second visit, I mentioned the sweetness level of the chai being a little too much for me. I love the fact that they took that into consideration when they made my caramel latte and cut back on the syrups for that drink. My caramel latte was a perfect balance of flavor, espresso, and milk, and the sweetness level was spot on. The drinks at LaVie Always Latte are yummy, and I can't wait to try some more. They also do offer a breakfast menu, which I did forget about until after I ordered. I would recommend that they put their breakfast menu somewhere that is a little bit more visible. I will be adding this coffee shop to my list of my regular coffee shops and will definitely stop by again when I am in the tidewater/ Little Creek area. read more

On my days off I love to check out a new coffee shop and work on personal projects. I decided to pay the shop a visit to check out their Yelp 757 deal in which you get any drink and a pastry for $7.57 This shop was welcoming and the owner was super sweet and patient as I looked over the extensive menu of options. The shop has been open since April and is super charming. I got the Pistachio Cold Brew & the coffee cake which they warmed for me. Both were delicious. I stayed there a couple hours and it was nice to see how open and interactive they are with their customers. I definitely recommend giving one of these drinks a try. read more

This cafe has a huge array of specialty drinks and coffees- way more options than you'll find at most local coffee shops, certainly more than Starbucks! The staff was very friendly on our visit, and the Ghost Smories was REALLY delicious. Very sweet, and almost more along the lines of a milkshake even though it was iced coffee and not blended. I suspected the sweetness would be high going into it, and they definitely offer plenty of customizations to get the perfect drink for you. I'm looking forward to trying the pistachio cold brew next. The interior was well kept and had plenty of seating options for those wanting to stay to enjoy their drinks! read more

Very welcoming with excellent coffee. Great homemade desserts. Will go for lunch soon. Give it a try!

In the neighborhood and stopped by for a quick snack. I loved the cozy cafe vibe and the friendly staffI'm not a coffee drinker so I got some hot chocolate and an old fashioned coffee crumb cake. Both really hit the spot to start my day and I do recommend getting the coffee crumb cake heated up so it's nice and warm. read more

My goodness, what an impressive selection of pastries! I'm a sucker for good, legitimate coffee crumb cake. And when I saw they had a protein rich walnut coffee cake, I knew I had to try it and it was a good decision. Moist cake, plenty of crunchy walnuts on top. I also drank a hot chai tea latte, which was good as well. Cashier was super friendly and smiled a lot, always important! Just know that the parking is limited. read more

Some exciting flavors are brewing at La Vie Always Latte Cafe, a new and innovative coffee and beverage spot that opened in April of this year. It offers both coffee and non-coffee based drinks, served hot, cold, and blended, as well as a variety of natural energy drinks and assorted pastries. New menu items are also being planned. La Vie occupies a stand alone location, unattached to any other businesses. It is stationed directly across from the Wedgewood Plaza where The Banque, a popular country-western themed nightspot, has long been a local landmark, A roadside sign catches the eye and makes it easier to spot. Parking is readily available at the side of the building after making the turnoff. The interior is attractively and artistically decorated with a feeling of homespun warmth that makes me feel right at home. The sofa in their main dining room tempts me to take a nap. Additional seating area is available in a room in the back. La Vie was formerly an independently operated pharmacy. Their friendly and outgoing owner, whose name is Laura, is a retired pharmacist who decided to transform it into the unique coffee and beverage spot it has become today. Her mother and other family members help out as well. They have also become an official partner with The Samaritan House, an organization that seeks to provide aid and comfort for victims and survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking in Hampton Roads. They are participating in the Paint 757 Purple campaign during the month of October on behalf of their efforts. I took part in their Yelp 757 Deal during my first visit, which offered a drink of your choice and a pastry for $7.57, and then came back for two more visits before writing my review. I have enjoyed the following so far, starting with their Pastries: PUMPKIN MOCHI: Mochi is a Japanese rice cake made with mochigome, a short grain glutinous rice. Their serving came in four pieces, each of which socked me with a nicely dense texture and a rich pumpkin flavor that grew with every bite: My Rating: 5 Stars. CHOCOLATE ECLAIR PIE: I was torn between this one and their miniature Pecan Pie, which looked equally as tempting from their display case. I decided to wait and try their Pecan Pie during a future visit. I asked them to heat up my Chocolate Eclair Pie, which they did and will gladly do for any of their pastries. It melted in my mouth and hit me with a powerful explosion of flavor. My Rating: 5 Stars. Among their beverages, I have enjoyed the following: DEADLY NIGHTSHADE: This was one of their special flavors for the month of October. It consisted of Blue Pea Flower, Matcha Green Tea, Maple, and Vanilla. I chose a splash of Almond Milk to go with it. This one is available hot, cold, or blended, and I chose to have it served cold. I loved its unique look and combination of flavors. If I could tweak one small detail, I would have liked it just a tad more iced. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. THE PERFECT STORM: This one is listed on their menu of healthy Lotus Plant Based Energy Drinks, which are served iced. This particular selection provides a delicious mix of Blue Raspberry, Coconut, and Green Apple, topped with a Blue Cold Foam. Its flavors came through beautifully. My Rating: 5 Stars. UBE LAVENDER LOTUS ENERGY DRINK: This is a new selection from their Lotus Plant Based Energy Drinks, one that had not yet appeared on their menu board when it was ordered. It consisted of Lavender, Ube, and Sparkling Water for a refreshing and delicious combination of flavors that dazzled my senses. My Rating: 5 Stars. THE FRANKENSTEIN: This is another new addition, one that was offered on behalf of their Paint 757 Purple Month in October. This one is an iced Matcha Latte with an Ube Cold Foam Topping. I asked for a splash of Oat Milk to go with it. Matcha and Ube are two of my favorite flavors. Their combination, along with the Oat Milk, resulted in a heavenly taste experience. This is my favorite drink so far, and I hope this one can become a permanent addition. My Rating: 5-Plus Stars. My first three visits to date have resulted in a slam dunk 5-star rating. I am looking forward to my future visits and will be doing my best to spread the word. read more

I ordered a matcha latte but got a cafe latte instead. Only reason why I didn't say anything is because I like coffee drinks too and I was in a hurry. I had to go back to work. The cafe latte was good. I was just craving a matcha latte. read more

La Vie Always Latte... La Vie Always a Pleasure and delight! I read a lot of great reviews, but I tell you, nothing is like a journey all your own. First, the location is great, it's at the entrance to a trailer/mobile home subdivision - the setting seems so appropriate that you can imagine this cafe to offer the wonderful escape to mobile home residents just outside of their homes. Then upon entering, you are greeted with very cozy setup - couch by a table full of magazines - the comforting message here is to stay a while. There are tables too of course. You have to come here to immerse in the hospitality and the friendliness of the owners that is so intoxicating. They would share fun facts about how this place was once a pharmacy (no wonder you see the wall cut out that you have clear view of the shelves), that their beverages are named after their brood of canine family. Speaking of love for furry friends. I asked if it was okay to bring in mine. Guy got a pup cup to go - thank you! There's also an area in the back sort of like a doggie park, so convenient! Back to what they offer: a looooong list of coffee beverages which come in hot, cold or even blended? and their Lotus drinks that have health benefits - they even have a glossary of all the roots and plant extracts that go with their healthy drinks! They offer pastries which they would warm up for you. I ordered the Smores (hot) and the lotus drink (orange passion flavor). Their 757 deal that runs throughout October gets you a specialty drink and a pastry - sweet deal! Both drinks were delicious! And oh they support local businesses - there are beautifully handmade leather bracelets (I bought 7!!) and some necklaces of crystals and stones! read more

Stepped in on a cold and rainy day and was greeted with a warm welcome from the staff and a cozy cafe! I loved the ambience and decoration of the place, so inviting and tasteful. I got a Dirty Churro latte served hot, with some whipped cream for good measure, and it was fabulous! I also got the Crumb Cake as the pastry included in Yelp's 757 deal, haven't had a chance to try it but still looks yummy and a good size serving. Wanted to give a shout out to the staff again as they were so friendly and sweet, I mentioned I had errands to run but wanted to relax in the back room for a bit, and they offered to wake me up if I happened to fall asleep, haha! The coziness of their cafe is no joke, I felt like curling up with a blanket while sipping on coffee on one of their couches lol. I'll definitely have to come back and try more of their menu, it was a treat coming in here! read more

I'm so glad I found this adorable cafe while visiting family in the area. I'd been looking for a coffee shop that was more my vibe and the Always Latte Cafe delivered! The ladies who run this place are incredibly friendly and made me feel so welcome. The drinks were delicious and so were the homemade baked goods. You can tell from the quality of their products, to the homey/beachy setup, and most of all from the kindness they exude that they are passionate about their shop and their costumers. There are tons of drink and goody options, and even some gluten and sugar free options. I also appreciated that they bake treats in house for our furry friends (my dogs LOVED them). I can't wait to come here again on my next visit! read more

2/2: Another wonderful day at La Vie! I stopped in to get my caffeine fix and decided to try some of their food. I got a banana walnut loaf cake, which the cashier politely asked if I would like it warmed up, which I said yes - it definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. I was ordering for my mom and I this time, I decided to get a hot dirty chai with oat milk and bourbon caramel syrup..I must say, i want bourbon caramel syrup in EVERYTHING now lol. The chai was perfect, not too strong but you can definitely taste (and smell) the spices in it. Per usual, the ambiance is amazing and everyone is so friendly. 2 months since my last review, and I will keep saying it - please, please come visit! read more

I almost went for my usual drink, earl grey tea, but I tried their Churro Coffee with almond milk and it did not disappoint! I also has their sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and that too was really good! If I didn't live so far away I'd made this cafe my go to!

Great little place. Quaint and super clean inside. Very unassuming from the street, but a very much needed little breakfast spot / coffee shop for this stretch of Little Creek. Will definitely drop in again and suggest the same. The drink menu has a few classics as well as a few signature drinks, as well as a menu of lotus drinks. Glad to have a spot just down the street I can count on for a good coffee and not have to head to the big name place again. read more
