We decided to pop in quick over the holiday weekend and we were not disappointed. It's a cute…read morelittle shop, a bit tight when you get in but there is seating inside off to the side as well as tables outside. 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!!

I'll be honest, at first, I didnt think that just because this place looked a little too pretty,…read morethey wouldnt produce really good coffee but I was wrong. 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

As a coffee snob, I had to visit a couple coffee roasters when visiting family in Norfolk. Kobros…read moreCoffee shop had a cool interior, nice baristas, and the whole vibe was a comfy and chill cafe. Another customer in line even asked us if we've been before and told us about the fun latte flavors. My mom and I ordered a cold brew each, and it was my mom's favorite cold brew she's ever had! It was good, but it was interesting because near the end of our cups, we tried each others' drinks just for the sake of things, and they tasted different - mine tasted less coffee, whereas my mom's drink had a was stronger coffee flavor. Maybe they were from different batches? Nevertheless, cold brews were great and I would order again. Like other coffee roasters in the area, if you buy a bag of beans, you get a complimentary cold brew, coffee, latte (?)! I was tempted to purchase a bag but they are so popular and only had 1 type of bean left that I don't prefer - heh, I warned that I'm a coffee snob. Would definitely go again/ask family to purchase beans for us out of towners.

Have been meaning to visit this place while out in Norfolk and finally made my way! The area was…read moresuper intimate and cozy for a nice chill vibe, accompanied with some outdoor seating. 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!

I got an iced crème brûlée latte large ($7.5) with almond milk (+$1) and it was made in about 10…read moreminutes. Coffee was quite good! Great balance of sweetness and coffee.

I love the vibe here - there's…read morea ton of seating across a few rooms and most people I've seen are also working on laptops, reading books, and quietly listening to their headphones. 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. You really can't go wrong with Cure if you need a bite and space to revise.

We recently stopped by COVA Brewing Company after visiting the nearby Farmers Market…read more Although they were quite busy, the staff kept the line moving efficiently and service was surprisingly quick. They offer a great selection of coffee and espresso-based drinks, along with a variety of baked goods if you're looking for a snack. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions or make recommendations for those who may be undecided. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to returning the next time we're in the area.

Wow! COVA Brewing it's been so long and finally! I frequent the area and feel bad I've neglected…read morethis awesome Norfolk establishment for so long. 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.

I stopped by for coffee and pastries and admired the atmosphere and cultural touches throughout the shop. I came early in the morning, and you could already smell the fresh pastries and the aroma of the coffee as soon as you walked in. DRINK REVIEW Buko Pandan Latte - 4/5 Ube Velvet Latte - 4/5 Sakura (seasonal flavor) with Strawberry Foam - 5/5 I originally got this for my sister, but it ended up being my favorite. PASTRIES Pepperoni Bread - 3.5/5 - Decent. Pandesal with Spam, Egg & Cheese - 3/5 My least favorite, but still decent and kid-friendly. Ube Pandesal with Cream Cheese Filling - 4/5 My favorite pastry of the bunch. Biscoff Ensaymada - 3/5 A bit dense, but the Biscoff butter icing was good. The flavors overall were good, though I personally would've liked the coffee to be a bit stronger. The Sakura Latte definitely stood out the most for me. Overall, this is a solid Filipino coffee shop in VA Beach that's worth checking out if you're in the area.

This is my 3rd time getting coffee here so I could give them the benefit of the doubt, but I just…read moredon't understand why their coffee tasted like nothing. There's no coffee taste whatsoever but milk and the syrup flavor. My first visit was the worst where I literally felt like I paid about $7 for a cup of hot water which I had to dump it out after couple slips, and I thought I'd give them another shot since I thought they legitimately made a mistake like they forgot to replace the ground coffee or push the wrong button on their espresso machine? My second visit was okay like nothing about my coffee stood out or disappointed, but during my latest/ third visit, I'm totally done getting "coffee" here. My mocha tasted straight up like hot milk. It was better than my first visit but there's still no coffee taste, and I had to dumb it out cuz I wanted real coffee. While the staff was friendly and service was quick, ultimately the coffee from a cafe is my main focus of my rating.
