I've been a fan of Cure in Norfolk for years. This was my first visit at Cure in Newport News…read more Parking is by pay garage or street with restrictions. It can be very challenging to find street during the day like I had. I found the few blocks walk after locating park clean with no debris. I planned on only ordering a coffee, but after reviewing the menu decided on more. The staff was friendly and helpful with choices. I ordered an avocado toast and crème brûlée coffee. The dining area was roomy and bright with plenty of windows to allow sunshine to flow. Many of the table had solos on lap tops. My coffee order was called out quickly and was gorgeous! Around 10 minutes later my toast was pushed out. The coffee was as good as it looked. The toast was just ok. The avocado was spread extremely thin. I hope to return on another Newport News trip.

In addition to coffees they also offer specialty cocktails. I had a candied orange mocha latte and my husband had a red eye. His turkey fig sandwich was delicious and packed full of turkey, fig, goat cheese, avocado and arugula. I had a plain bacon egg cheese and fried egg bagel sandwich. Nothing special but it had plenty of crispy bacon. The staff is pleasant and while it was about half full there was enough room that we had empty tables between us and other dinners. Nice little coffee date spot conveniently located across the fountain so you can take a stroll.

The Whale Tea has been a pretty good place for Sophia and myself over the years. Going back to…read morewhen they first opened up in Virginia Beach, they've expanded to the Peninsula where they set up shop in Yorktown and Newport News where we've been frequent customers. Let's see how things have been for them lately. For the most part, our visits have resulted in great products. Each time we entered the building, they would greet us with a smile and say welcome. It has even got to the point where they recognize us. Definitely a great feeling. And the vibe around has been very friendly. Most recently, they added Dalgona Coffee items to the menu. Dalgona became popular during the pandemic for those who aren't familiar. And I can say the stuff I tried has been really good. Honestly, it's not too strong nor too sweet for my taste buds. Hopefully, it stays on the menu. There's nothing more I can add to my experience here. Great products from great people. Keep it up guys :)

We have visited Whale Tea several times and would rate our overall experience 4/5. The staff is…read morealways friendly, attentive, and efficient. It's also nice to see the availability of board games and the 10% student discount offered on Wednesdays. Our favorite drink that we highly recommend is the pistachio matcha! However, we would not recommend the creme brulee ube fresh milk, as it lacked flavor and tasted unnatural. Also to note, the drink portions are on the smaller side.

Having an option for boba tea and other treats is great for the Peninsula. Let's see how the visit turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. The vibe inside was pretty chilled for a hot Sunday afternoon. There were only two people seated and more folks did come, but the majority came for takeout. We both ordered immediately after walking inside. My choice was Creme Brulee Oreo Milk at 50% sugar with tapioca pearls and 50% ice. As always, it was pretty good. Full of milk, pearls and Oreo. Refreshing as always. Whale Tea....delivering quality products. They'll definitely come in handy the next time we're around :)

The Whale tea was a nice stop for a fun drink on a rainy afternoon…read more My bf and I both wanted some sort of tea. I went with the passionfruit tea with lychee jelly, and he got the grapefruit tea. We waited a very long time for our drinks. Multiple people who put in orders after us got their drinks. I was about to inquire when he finally asked if (our name) was in the building? The drinks had been just sitting up front. Annoying, but whatever. We grabbed them and went to the car. My bf liked his grapefruit tea and it was tasty. His drink looked exactly like the picture, which was impressive! Mine was good as well. I thought there would be more passionfruit pieces but there was a couple at the bottom. After sipping some up, I realized I was happy there wasn't a lot of pieces because the passionfruit seeds were hard as rock. lol! I was very surprised because I've had fresh passionfruit and the seeds aren't THAT hard. But maybe the kind they have is. I'm not sure. My drink was delish anyways and the lychee jelly was good, too. I'd return.

Probably the best Tropical Smoothie I've been to so far…read more The layout is spacious, inside is clean, the location has tons of surrounding parking, and the staff is kind. It isn't the same building that they have posted on Yelp, so I'll post what it looks like (no drive-thru). I really like how the inside is set up, so there's a bunch of interior pics below too. Their smoothies actually tasted like fruit smoothies and weren't watered down, too sour, or overpowered by banana. Lol. My husband ordered a Chipotle Chicken Flatbread and he mentioned it was the neatest packaged flatbread he's had and perfectly made too. We personally like our flatbreads sauced up or with the right amount of sauce because that's where the flavor is and they did a good job. Their featured Mango Monsoon smoothie is good.. I mean I finished the whole thing before my husband finished his and that rarely happens. It tastes similar to the pineapple passion fruit drink from Starbucks and definitely makes you feel like you're in the tropics.

This spot is on the corner of two major roads and it always backs up traffic as people pull in. In fact during the business hours there is often a police officer out here directing and preventing accidents I'm not sure if the company can do too much to fix this but maybe if there is a remodel that could be addressed Even the bathroom is clean here
