You have to park on the cobblestone street which really adds to the appeal. I normally grab a bagel, but today I was in an avocado toast mood. The breads and ingredients are always fresh and the drinks are thirst-quenching. There are shelves near the register where local artists sell some goods. The staff is great.

I ordered from the summer menu and tried the Cinnamon Drift Latte (Housemade Horchata and Espresso) and it was sooo good. I only got a 16 oz and wished I got the 20! My daughter ordered a signature drink, the Botanist (Strawberry puree, milk, and matcha) with oatmilk and it was great. I want to go back and give that a try next. Lastly my husband ordered a cold brew with cold foam and enjoyed that as well. He also ordered the coffee cake and I wish I wasn't gluten free because it looked and smelled amazing. He enjoyed that while we sat outside for a bit. The service was quick, the staff was so friendly and patient, and the drinks were delish! We will definitely be back when we are in Norfolk!!

The coffee was really good --it was fresh, smooth, and not bitter at all. I loved the aroma of their coffee. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. The interior also has some really nice artistic elements that add to the overall vibe. Its a really relaxed hangout spot for anyone. I love the windows and how the sun shined through. And of yeah, the orange couch. This is Definitely a spot I'd recommend What I Got: Almond Croissant: 4/5 Pistachio Croissant 5/5 Apple Turn Over 4/5 White Macadamia Nut Latte 5/5 Golden Hour Latte 4/5

Unfortunately it was underwhelming. I took a picture of it and shared with my equally foodie daughter in Boston: she said something seems missing in the bowl but the egg looked perfectly cooked! And taste wise, there wasn't anything unique, I could have replicated it at home: crumbled sausage , add kimchi over rice and an over easy egg! I hate to sound critical but sometimes feedback hopefully taken positively can take Cafe Stella to even greater heights in my books!

I used to live…read moreacross the street but now live 30 minutes from there- I now drive to satisfy my cravings for my favorite menu item: the Cali Tuna Pita. Y'all. The tuna salad is amazing. It is the best seasoned tuna I've ever had. The combo of ingredients is stellar. I dream about this pita! The service is always incredibly friendly especially from Brit and Brittany! The staff here really cares about hospitality. It does not go unnoticed! The music is generally chosen by who is working and I've never heard a bad playlist. It varies from old school hip hop to indie to jazz. The decor has changed over the years but is always quirky and unique. They continue to showcase local artists since the beginning, changing artists every month. Zeke's has become a staple in the Norfolk community and my life! I always eat my pita so fast I forget to take a pic, but here is a pic of the kale salad that was amazing and HIGHLY recommend the Blue Colada smoothie on a hot day! Enjoy!

It's not easy when you live on the other side of Hampton Roads, but I'm glad to see them do really well over the years. Let's see how they've been. We were greeted by the staff after walking in and foot traffic was minimal. Music was playing througout the building and they were pretty busy with orders. A few people did come in but for the most part, they did takeout. We decided to sit and sip our chosen desserts. I chose their Strawberry Smoothie with strawberry popping boba at 70% sugar and Sophia chose her usual, coconut smoothie at 70% sugar with tapioca. Both of us enjoyed them very much. Not too sweet and full of flavor. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. Once again, a grand 'ol time on familiar grounds. You know for sure we'll be back the next time we come around :)

I stopped by Kobros Coffee around 11:45 a.m. on a Friday morning. One thing that caught me off…read moreguard was that it isn't a standalone coffee shop. It operates out of Toast on weekdays and Perro Blanco on weekends. I ended up circling the block for a while trying to find it because I had no idea where it was located. Apparently they mention this on Instagram, but since I don't have Instagram, I only figured it out after the fact. I can't help but wonder how many potential customers end up at Mea Culpa Coffee, which is right behind Toast and much easier to identify as a coffee shop. Once I went inside Toast and asked, the cashier explained that I was already in the right place. Mystery solved. I ordered the iced blueberry lemon zest matcha latte with coconut milk, and it was genuinely delicious. The blueberry and lemon complemented the matcha really well, making for a refreshing drink that wasn't overly sweet. My only hesitation is the price. At $9, it felt a bit steep for a drink that appeared to be about 16 ounces and was filled almost entirely with ice. While I enjoyed it and would order it again, I'd have a hard time justifying the price on a regular basis. Overall, the quality of the drink was excellent, but I think Kobros could make the experience even better by making their location more obvious outside of Instagram and offering a little more value for the price.

This location has a smaller menu, but an experienced staff to recommend a good array of flavors within their drink choices. My significant other and I ordered: The Peaches seasonal latte: The freshness of the fruit shines through without overpowering the coffee. Brown Sugar Cinnamon latte: Every note balances each other out with minimal sweetness and an exaggerated flavor. I can confidently say this is one of the FEW places i've ever gotten coffee. Not the over sugared milky drink with drops of coffee flavor, but COFFEE!

This review actually has two great businesses because I visited Klassic Doughnut's food truck too! Ok first things first. Every Wednesday through this Summer Klassic Doughnuts food stand will be available at COVA 8-11 AM. They are in my opinion the best cake doughnuts in our area. They are a major draw for COVA. I purchased a few to go. With COVA I specifically wanted to try their coffee. I was blown away upon arrival to see their outdoor space. It's huge and beautiful. On a weekday at 11 AM without school even out was busy! The counter service was helpful and friendly. I told the staff I wanted a black coffee and was directed to what beans were being offered. I opted for an Ethiopian pour over. The coffee comes in a large and priced competitive. It took a bit with being busy and a pour over, but boy was the wait worth it. Probably the best coffee I've had in any recent memory and I drink a lot of coffee. The space inside is compact, but they offer a side patio that's covered too! COVA is late to offering coffee, maybe 5 years or so. However, they are established with brewing award winning beer. I chatted with a female brewer a minute who was so sweet and invited me back for a glass. They also have a bakery case with offerings that looked good. So I need to return. So exciting to share such a gem in East Beach. Parking may be an issue, but off street neighborhood streets are available.
