While in the area looking for a coffee shop, I stumbled upon Three Ships Coffee Roasters. It's…read morelocated in such a hidden spot, I practically drove right past it. The parking was very limited so I parked across the street in a private, parking lot, since I knew I was coming right back out. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and the staff were very nice. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Brown Sugar Vanilla Latte and the Ham & Cheese Croissant. While I waited, I couldn't help but notice how nice the coffee shop was. They have a small seating area where I noticed a few people working while enjoying their coffee. My latte and croissant were very good. This spot seems like it's popular to the locals. I wish there were more parking options but if you're ever in the area and looking for great coffee, definitely check them out.

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!

Each year we try one of Morning Views beans they readily have available and while we opt for whole beans they will grind yours if you want. For this week's vacation we ordered up Woodys dark blend and Bootys dark blend because we sampled these last year and they were great. The muffins are awesome and our favorite is cranberry orange....never disappoints and we highly recommend.

They have house matcha AND ceremonial matcha * They roast their own coffee * Their rotating specials are always very interesting Recommendations for improvement: * the only thing I would suggest is for the shop to introduce a rewards system or punch card! I go here so often, even a punch card having the 10th drink as free would be a game changer Tip: they validate parking in dominion tower garage, check out their instagram for more details!

My best Norfolk discovery so far! Was staying on business and wanted a morning waterfront walk and…read moreNeptune's is perfectly situated on the pathway. The servers are very friendly and helped me decide upon the cinnamon shipwreck which was so good I ordered one every morning during my stay. In addition I had a breakfast sandwich which to my pleasant surprise was made fresh with actual scrambled egg instead of a previously frozen egg patty. It was ample which was appreciated considering the prices! Definitely more costly than some other local shops but worth it! The view and fresh roasted coffee doesn't disappoint! And yes, you can see the beans being ground on premises! Can't wait to be back in Norfolk for another iced cinnamon shipwreck!

My family has made good use of taking walks around the property, of the kids play area, the giant chess set, etc. It makes me want to buy coffee and a pastry even though I don't want coffee or a pastry.

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 :)

A strong experience for my first visit after brunch at The Stockpot Chesapeake…read more They are located in the space previously occupied by Big Ugly Brewing. Parking is adequate. One of the first things I realized after stepping in their door is they are a very pro military operation. They have lots a sign that indicate military support like a wall hanging of Challenge coins. Also the names of the coffee. They sell a large variety of their own coffee in bags. They also sell merchandise. The roasting operation is open for the public to see. I decided on a cup of medium roasted blend. Staff was great and also useful assisting with my choice. They provide samples. They have space to enjoy your cup too. But I got mine to go. I was very happy with the taste and a good price point too. This was not my first time trying them as they offered at some area restaurants like American Brew in VB. I would love to return

They had recommendations on a board and I asked when she would order, the ordered that one. It was a butter cookie latte, so yummy! I didn't try the food because we were going to breakfast a couple doors down.

You order at the front register, they give you a number to place on your table & you choose a seat if you're dining in. I ordered the rice, sweet potato & salmon bowl & a Paloma. The bowl was only okay-- they didn't cook the mushrooms at all, the sweet potatoes were cold & the salmon was stiff. The paloma was decent enough.

They have different coffee blends (whole beans or they can grind for you) and associated merch for purchase. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I look forward to coming back.
