Awesome place! Found it when I first moved here looking for local coffee shops…read more The coffee is great with many options, the fun ones/my faves being the culture coffee! They also rotate flavors through different seasons- I loved when they had the ube latte. The food is yummy; I liked the baja breakfast burrito & their baked goods are amazing! The atmosphere is unique with a rain forest type theme. I liked working in there though space is limited during the weekend.

I really enjoyed my drink. It was sweet but not too sweet. And the coffee was nice and not bitter. My fiancé got the tres leches and that was also very good. It was sweet and creamy. The coffee cake we got was just ok. It was kind of bland with hints of cinnamon. And it was a little dense. It was the only pastry that was there. I'm not sure if it was because we got there around 12, or if they just don't have other pastries regularly. It was also a lot more expensive than other coffee shops in the area. If we are back in the area we will definitely come back for the coffee and vibes. The inside is beautiful and a really chill place. It was clean inside and the couches were comfy. I also liked that the baristas knew the locals that came in. That welcoming feeling makes all the difference.

Matcha cream is not sweet at all and strawberries are not quite in season I suppose I also had a drink and it was delicious. It had brown sugar, Boba, and a taro milk cap. The service is wonderful and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back. I heard that on Tuesdays. They have buy one get one half off.

Whether it's boba tea, smoothies or coffee, they rarely disappoint. Let's see how things turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. Like many times, the decor was spotless and the vibe calm There were a few customers inside either dining in or ordering takeout. We knew what we wanted before entering so it took no time to order. I selected one of their Spring items, Brown Sugar Rose-Berry Freshmilk with brown sugar pearls, in honor of cherry blossoms for the State of Virginia. A very good drink indeed. Not too sweet and full of flavor. Some of the pearls did get stuck together (they were served hot after all), but it was no problem. Thank you once again Joyu for having us feel comfortable with much needed drinks. You'll see us again soon :)

Friendly service, inviting atmosphere, reasonable prices, and lots of memorabilia to enjoy. Definitely a nice stop for a warm beverage on a rainy day.

Hands down one of the coolest coffee houses in Hampton Roads!…read more I would likely have never known this place existed without my coffee passport. It's tucked away on Fort Monroe - a little off the beaten path for me, but well with the visit. Google maps had me coming from the back side of the building but once you find your way around, there is ample parking and some outdoor seating for nice days. Like any converted firehouse the only windows are from the large roll-up doors. The inside is cozy with plenty of comfy seating. They offer free Wi-Fi and activities for little ones including lots of fire trucks to play with so this would be a nice spot for families. Already planning to bring my family in for a stop on the way to Williamsburg. Plenty of coffee and non-coffee options plus seasonal specials and tons of flavor choices, including sugar free. I opted for a sugar-free dark chocolate latte which was delicious - perfect level of sweetness and just the right temperature. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on naan bread. They have multiple cheese and other bread options. The egg was a little over seasoned but flavor was good. Compared to the major chains and other independent coffee shops, prices here are reasonable. Overall a great visit with welcoming and helpful staff. Looking forward to a trip back!

Bread is usually a throwaway ingredient for me.... I'll pick pieces off until I hit meat. Not with this grilled pork bahn mi! The bread is NOT dense. It had a crispy a crunchy exterior with a light a fluffy interior. No pic because I inhaled it, but I'm sure I'll have another by next Saturday lol. The meat is juicy and flavorful (I'd pay for their marinade recipe!) My sandwich paired perfectly with a cold beer. The restaurant is off of Armistead Ave, just before you reach Sparetimes in Hampton. The prices are seriously reasonable and I'm so scared that will change. Please go now.

I would see it on my timeline on social media for other locations and the drinks looked so yummy. Now I was able to try it first hand! First of all the line is ridiculous. I get it, it's new and people are excited for the new coffee shop on the block. But you know what's funny, there's a Starbucks in arms distance and no one was over there! Hahahaaa. Anyways, there is someone outside taking your order, similar to like what Chick Fil A does. So by the time you get to the front, they are handing out your drink. I ordered the Cookie Butter with oatmilk. OMGeee... so yum! Definitely a treat in a cup. Not too sweet, but I could had less sweet. Maybe like 1 less pump of the syrup, so I can get more of the coffee taste. But don't get me wrong, this drink was so satisfying. I also tried their mango lemonade and that was equally as YUM! So refreshing! 7B boasts how all their drinks are customizable and I'm telling you, they are including the lemonades. The only thing I didn't like is you can't find any of their nutritional information on the order board or even online. Maybe you won't feel too bad about the calories since it's not available... maybe! lol
