Where did the space come from in here? It's much larger than appears. The aesthetics give a cozy vibe and Instagrammable space. Coffee and smoothie selections. Sandwiches and soup. And don't skip the pastries! read more

This place was hustling and bustling near lunch time on Saturday, and it was easy to see why!! There was a little bit of a wait for the food, but that sandwich was amazing!! The coffee was delicious, and the location was as quaint as they come! Chock full of antiques and souvenirs, with beautiful skylights in the converted building. It was quiet somehow inside, even with a decent amount of people filling the tables. Enjoy!!! read more

Super fun place off the main drag in South Boston to grab a coffee and a sweet. Looks like the owners renovated an old factory and still kept a piece of it in the ceiling. Busy place filled with people when we went on Black Friday morning. If you're in town and want a younger vibe, this is the place to be. read more

This is an absolutely adorable little coffee shop and is exactly what SoBo needs. Over several visits, I've had the iced/hot chai latte, mocha milkshake, the club sub, and some monkey bread. The chai latte is a bit mediocre and tastes mostly like milk. The mocha milkshake was really great, and I will definitely be ordering that more come springtime. The club sub is nice and simple (the only difference between it and the Turkey Ham Melt is that it has bacon, bacon ranch spread, and French toasted bread instead of Italian bread). I think it's fairly priced especially with the chips; a sandwich like this in NY would easily cost over $10. The monkey bread tasted fresh and homemade, so I definitely want to try more of their pastries. I'm really glad that this is here in SoBo. read more

Great coffee, cool atmosphere, old country store charm. Looks small from outside but rather large roomy area inside with a lot of different seating arrangements inside. read more

The grilled cheese breakfast sandwich (#9) was ridiculous good!! The coffee is very good also. I was in the area for work and stopped here every morning to get my coffee and breakfast. I found it inexpensive, which did not take away from quality, and portions are big. Also tried the chicken salad wrap for lunch and it was pretty good. Highly recommend this place! read more

A delightful place for lunch in a visually pleasing environment. A friendly coffee shop in an old factory building with exposed brick. They also sell sandwiches, desserts, salads, milkshakes, and smoothies. Comfortable seating and they also offer home decor for sale. read more

After working sm over night which I haven't done in years. I woke up wanting coffee at noon'ish. I already knew the nearest C main code was 40 or so minutes away!!! Soo i open my Yelp and found this cute little spot nestled in a corner on the edge of downtown. There was plenty of parking on the street. I walked in and was greeted by cute ness all over. Kind of reminds me of those tea shops with petit cakes where all the grandmas go with their fancy hats. "They really utilize all of the space" I over heard another customer say. Anyway i ordered an iced americano and chicken salad Sandwich. It was really good and not dry like some other salad I've had (my own). It's a nice little date spot with a friend or yourself. read more

All my relatives demand we go for breakfast whenever they visit. Fine with me I love their breakfast AND lunch at Busy Bean. They love the coffee... especially the reasonable prices and my go to is a smoothie. It is also a delight to shop with our eyes as we eat, usually buying a "something you can't live without" from their collection of gifts on the side. Of course you can't leave without a dessert....especially a lemon bar. Busy Bean is a "must see" when in South Boston, VA. read more

The Busy Bean - Delish BLT - Cafes Near Me - South Boston, Virginia

Came in from out of town for a meeting with a colleague. Very cute place. Amazing quaint atmosphere. So comfy.

I enjoy coming here for a good tasting coffee and lunch. They have great service and a unique atmosphere. Perfect for me since I get tired of visiting chain coffee shops. read more

Went here with my wife and thought it was a cool spot with lots of room. We ordered some sandwiches and seated ourselves. After apx. 20 mins I walked to the empty counter and saw our food sitting on the counter covered in flies. I asked a girl behind the counter if that was my food and she turned around like I had insulted her. She replied IDK and waived the flies off it. She yelled at the guy who took my order who was talking to the other 2 girls working there and he said I think so? The sandwiches were small and nothing special, same thing I make at my house on a George Foreman grill. Not worth the $20 I paid for them and a can drink. This may be a cool place for teens to work and hang out all day at the tables but I'm not impressed at all! read more

Such a cute coffee/breakfast/lunch/dessert/gallery spot! The inside is a lot bigger than the outside let's on. Parking is on the street. They have what appears to be amateur art for sale inside. They also have a wooden hook game to play if you need something to do. You place your order at the counter and they'll bring it out when your order is ready. You may have to remind them to bring your dessert out if you order other food items. You seat yourself and they have so many cute seating options to choose from. I am in love with the green sofa! The coffees are really good and have so many flavor options to choose from. They even had a lavender honey flavor, which I may try next time. I got the coconut cream pie this time and really enjoyed it. My daughter got the strawberry lemonade and she loved it. I thought it was a bit too syrupy. She had the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. I didn't try it, but she said it was just OK. I did have the avocado toast and thought it was just OK as well. It would be improved if the avocado would come smashed with seasonings instead of sliced and throwing on some sunflower seeds would also help with flavor and appearance. We tried one of the danishes. I'm not sure if it was cherry, strawberry, or raspberry, but either way it would have been better if it had a bit more filling and also if they had offered to warm it. Anyway, this is a nice spot and we will be visiting frequently, but some minor adjustments to the food would be nice too. Don't get me wrong, there's several places to eat around here and most of them are no where near as good as this coffee shop. read more

You think that this cafe would be small but it is a large interesting place with fantastic food and coffee! They graciously let is bring our Belgium Mal dog in side, it was really hot outside! We loved our time there! Everyone is friendly. read more

Great environment and very friendly staff. They have a wide assortment of hot and cold beverages. I have had the BLT sandwich (great), the chicken and ranch (so-so, it was a bit dry), and the chicken salad sandwich (good, but I have had better. Advice - add diced apples and/or grapes to the chicken salad and got a winner). read more

Ate here in august and was incredible. Today the food was good but my issue was I ordered a combo. Well it comes with a side salad which is very nice and packed full container. Very little dressing comes with. When I asked for more the guy started ringing me up. There is a charge . I needed more than a tablespoon. It's the little things. read more

I love to stop here for coffee, breakfast, or lunch. Free Wi-FI is a plus! They never complain no matter how many hours I stay.

Consistently good curbside pick-up service during the pandemic, and there's a lovely patio with tables for those who do not wish to go inside or eat in their cars. read more

One of the best coffee shops in town! A cute, cozy coffee shop with a modern twist. The owner is very welcoming, and will always go above and beyond to help customers. They have a cute selection of home decor you can look at while you wait as well. The food is great for a quick bite to eat or a casual lunch. They also have a huge selection of pastries and just about any flavor coffee you can think up! Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic!!! Staff was very friendly and service exceptional. My food was hot and fresh. If you haven't eaten here, you are missing a treat.

Finally got a chance to try out this little coffee shop in Virginia and it was worth the wait! The owner was so friendly and helpful , the whole atmosphere was so nice and welcoming - there was artwork and pottery in cute arrangements - the bonus is that it was for sale and at reasonable prices. The coffee was good,the blackberry lemonade is my new favorite drink and the sandwich was delicious. I will be adding this to my list of places to take out of town visitors . I would recommend this place to anyone! I can't wait til my next visit - but I will be calling ahead to order a jalapeno popper quiche ahead of time to bring home read more
