I don't see many bakeries in my area of Chesapeake, so when I saw this one, I just had to stop in. My friend, Terri and I were both happy we did. She enjoyed her chocolate chip cookies, and I bought three treats to share with my husband and son, for my son's birthday. I tried all three (blood orange bar, lemon meringue cake, and the caramel bread pudding) and loved all three. They had plenty of treats to choose from, as well as breads and quiches. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and engaging. In the area, Check Them Out!

Cute cafe, friendly staff but there are absolutely no prices listed on any drinks, bakery or lunch items. Pretty sure that's in violation of some sort of Virginia law, lol. It also just feels very shady on a customer's perspective. They also have cups on the side to show their small, medium, and large sizes so my husband and I ordered large lattes. To our disappointment, we received our drinks in medium cups. I asked if this was indeed the large size, and two baristas said yes - despite only getting a 16 oz drink. Maybe there should be a sign explaining what drinks come in what sizes, but again... it felt shady & misleading as a paying customer. Two "large" drinks, a carrot muffin, and a cinnamon roll came up to $30. In this economy, I think people would appreciate some price transparency. I'd like to give it another chance, but this first experience was a letdown.

A great way to start the day is with a drink from here! Service is always great and the everyone seems to work together great to get orders out even when the line is almost to the front door. Their new flavor for September the Salted maple latte with salted caramel whip cream is definitely a hit for fall. I got it iced and man I wish I ordered a larger size cause I demolished it in no time it was so good. Not overly sweet and you can still taste the coffee which is nice, unlike some places you can only taste the milk and syrups. They have been around for a hot minute and the space is quiet small but still feels cozy when your inside when its busy. I highly recommend if you haven't tried this place to give it a shot. They have plenty of drink and pastry options!

We have been coming to 17 hands for years and are just so sad with the changes that have been made throughout those years. Although the expansion into the space next door with the bakery has provided more room inside to move around and hang out, it feels like they have tripled their prices since then. Getting a special shaken espresso and a slice of quiche was $24. Whenever my husband and I come together, we expect to spend at least $30. It's not like we're buying more than one drink and maybe one breakfast item. Sucks to see as it used to be our favorite spot. + it still takes 10 minutes (on a good day) to get your food. Yes it's so good, but I don't know if I can pay $9 for a medium latte and consider that a win.

Went for a coffee run and found this bakery near 17 hands coffee shop I didn't noticed before. In , I checked and met the owner , the brilliant and hard working Robin. So I ordered the most delicious German cake and her special cheesecake. Found out she supplies all the fresh baked goods for the 17 hands coffee and they have an open door to them. The coffee shop is a delight and the nice staff is so helpful. It actually has a family business feel. I truly enjoyed my rich and creamy coffee and my pastry I got from them. I wish I knew them before but now I know I can come back and will keep coming to this gem of place. Thank you for the adventure Robin.

Recently voted best in the area, and for good reason. Very helpful and polite staff that provide great service. Additionally, they are open past 2PM on the weekend, which is great if you need a mid-afternoon pickup. Recently had the Mr. Pistachio cold brew. Definitely recommend!

It's really becoming frustrating as this is now the 4th time i've received the wrong item. Specifically by the barista / cashier Cyrus, whether it be typing in the correct order or creating the correct drink. I ordered a Matcha latte and to my surprise received a coffee. I frequent 17 Hands very often so this has happened now a handful of times , but I would hate for this to be a reason for me to stop ordering from this establishment as I am a big fan of their seasonal specials. I would hope care put into my orders going forth.

We stopped by 17 Hands Coffee and were instantly impressed--not just by the drinks and food, but by the warm, welcoming vibe from the staff. We tried an iced Americano that was absolutely delicious. The hot butterbeer latte was a wonderful: rich, creamy, and full of magical flavor. We also added a cinnamon roll to our order... It was decadent, gooey, and perfectly sweet! The cozy atmosphere, great service, and creative menu make this place a new favorite. I agree with other reviewers that the prices are higher than other coffee shops in the area; however, it's worth checking out!

Stopped in to check the bakery out! I ordered a chocolate chip cookie! Took one bite and had to order another! Upon walking in I was greeted by the staff and the wonderful bakery smells. I would recommend checking this out.. they have a variety of desserts and freshly made bread.

I really had been looking forward to trying this spot, so I really really wanted to love it. I ordered a large iced French toast latte and ended up paying about $9. I didn't get any add ons, just a large iced French toast latte. I also did not end up getting any sort of French toast flavor from my drink, so that was kind of a bummer since that was the reason I wanted to try it. The service was great and friendly, nonetheless, and I've read great reviews on 17 Hands, so I'm sure this was just a fluke. We also stopped in Robin Simmon's next door (had no idea they were connected/affiliated) for a piece of cheesecake and red velvet cake. It had a similar pricing style to the coffee shop, but the NY Cheesecake was super tasty and we would definitely try again! Overall the cheesecake was genuinely worth the higher price, but the coffee and red velvet cake were not.

Yummy coffee shop!!! Was down in this area and decided to caffeinate before heading to a concert and it was a great experience! Coffee was delicious! Both got iced brews with skim milk and the coffee had a great flavor. Great variety of flavored syrups. Tons of flavored syrups, coffees, teas and other drink choices. I'm sure people will find something they like. Also picked up an M&M cookie and orange roll/bun. Both were so good! They have a lot of food choices from lunch sandwiches to quiche and lots of sweet treats as well. They have a good number of seats and an area to pick-up your drinks. The woman who took our order was kind and asked if we wanted our orange bun heated up, which was a nice gesture. Will be back when passing through the area!

Visiting from the other coast, needed a caffeine boost with proper flavor. Saw this location and wanted to give it a try. Wow. Great coffee shop atmosphere. The reception we got was great! The gentleman behind the counter even came around to show which cheesecakes were recommended... all of them. This award winning cheesecake is to die for. Honestly some of the best I have ever had. The 20oz coffee tuxedo mocha latte is far superior to any coffee shop I had to date. Virginia is lucky to have such a staple in their community!

I have been coming to this coffee for a few months now and decided it was finally time for me to write a review. I have 3 coffee shops that I frequently visit, and this is one of them. It takes a lot for me to give a 5 star review because 5 stars, to me, means you are damm near perfect, and I have no recommendations for improvement. 17hands gets 5 because they consistently deliver a well-balanced, flavorful latte, and their customer service is top-notch. I normally stop by at least once a week, and it would be more frequent if I didn't live 20 minutes away. I'm always greeted by Kelly and other staffed as soon as I walk in the door. Depending on what time of day you go, there could be a long wait. On weekends, I definitely recommend getting there before 9 am, if not, you might be there for 30-60 mins waiting on your order, but it is definitely worth it. The ambiance gives a very rustic but chill vibe. They also have some outdoor seating. My latte recommendations are the butter beer and the bourbon caramel machiatto. Seasonal recommendations are, of course, the pumpkin spice latte and the cinnamon apple latte. I'm more than positive you will like your drink no matter the flavor. If you are concerned about the sweetness or sugar content, you can request half sugar. One unique thing about this coffee shop is that they also serve cocktail. I personally love a good coffee cocktail. I have tried the traditional Irish coffee and the pumpkin white Russian. The Isish coffee was nice and smooth and had the perfect amount of whiskey. The pumpkin white Russian is a fall flavor and was delicious. I definitely plan to order that again before the end of the season. I'm was never a big fan of scones because they are usually dry, and most times, they lack flavor. However, the scones at 17hands are absolutely Devine and highly recommended. Their scones are super moist and flavorful. I've tried a few different flavors, with the blueberry lemon being my normal go-to. They offer both sweet and savory flavors, as well as a vegan option. Other baked item recommendations are the cinnamon rolls, which sell out normally, and the sticky pecan roll. The sticky pecan roll, I think, might be seasonal. It is very delicious, however, I do find it a little pricey. They also have pre-sliced cakes and pies in the fridge from their bakery next door; which is very convenient.
