    I do love a Zero's sub. Warm and toasty with Olive Oil and Seasonings. Conveniently located with a parking lot. They have seating indoors but I always take it home. If you like Cheerwine.....they have it!!! Glass bottles. Prices have gone up but all prices have gone up. They always have a sub of the month and other specials. Friendly staff. The owner does a lot to help the local kids so I love supporting this particular Zero's.

    Every time I come to VA I'm beach Zero subs is definitely on the list of places to go! Technically, I have given up subs but how can I resist this place‍‍. Bread is like none other! Parking not a issue as this is a stand alone restaurant. Bathrooms and store nice and clean. If I had the option of choosing more than 5 stars I definitely would give it more. You are doing yourself a huge favor if you stop by! You won't regret it! The best around!

    My fiancé and I went here for lunch after driving from Richmond. We wanted something that we could take on the beach with us if we didn't finish, so we chose subs. We've never tried Zero's so we ended up here. Upon walking in, it smelled weird and was really hot. While waiting for our food, we have a fan blowing on us and it smelled like onions. There's seating inside but we opted to eat in the car. Staff was friendly to guests and made conversation with the regulars there. I ordered the Turkey and cheese sub without lettuce and tomato. My fiancé ordered the Grinder with everything on it. My sub was OK aside from something spilled on it (smelled spicy) and my lettuce was very warm. My fiancé liked his sub!

    Since 1967 Zero's Subs founded in Virginia Beach has been cranking out delicious subs. So before Subway they were making it fresh! Since 1967 the original location is no longer, but they have expanded and franchised out of state. Their name recognition is still local to Hampton Roads. I've had a few visits to this location that have been solid and thought it was strange their business listing disappeared. So I have added and expect Yelp HQ to locate the original. When pulling in the tiny lot your greeted by a large VW bus mural by local artist TALENT which is darn cool! The business retains a surfer type atmosphere with roots at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. A recent visit I grabbed a BLT with chips. I received friendly customer service from both staff at cash register and sandwich maker. The price was above chain sub places, but not by much. The beachy atmosphere was small with table and chairs. Everything was clean and inviting for guest. My order was called up in less than 10 minutes. The bread was fresh and it was loaded beyond expectations of bacon. Check out one of their many Coastal Virginia locations and support local.

    I think this was the original Zero's location. So, I grew up with Zero's as a VB "native" and whenever I get to come back....I always have to get a grinder. Usually I go to the Hilltop location but wanted to try the original location....though I am sure as a kid I went here. Never disappoints....these grinders. Something about them that just brings back the memories and nostalgia....and they are just so good! I called ahead and placed my order. This is a busy location and the line was literally out the door, yet it moves fast! Everyone is friendly and polite, and my order was made exactly as requested!

    Cool local sandwich shop, eat in or take out. Some of the better sandwiches in the area. Plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your food. Not exactly the most pleasant staff, but the food makes up for it.

    Va Beach stopped twice when in town. They have locations all over. Cheese steak was great! Just a hole in the wall that does subs right!

    For the second time my "hot" ham & cheese was "cold" in the middle. This was a favorite before they relocated. Something is going wrong.

    I've always been a fan of Baker's Crust bagels, especially a cinnamon raisin bagel loaded with…read moretheir strawberry cream cheese. It's the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and open gooey deliciousness! Today, Baker's Crust catered breakfast at my office, and I was excited to see a table overflowing with bagels and cream cheeses. It was like Christmas morning for carb lovers! Unfortunately, none of the bagels or cream cheeses were labeled. My excitement quickly turned into confusion when I took a big bite of what I was sure was my beloved strawberry cream cheese... only to discover it was definitely not strawberry. And let's just say an onion bagel paired with the wrong cream cheese is a combination I wouldn't recommend. The food itself was great, but a little labeling would go a long way. A simple sticker or note on the bottom of each cream cheese container and small tent cards identifying the bagel flavors would save future customers from accidental flavor roulette. Still a fan, but next time I'd like to know whether I'm biting into strawberry bliss or an unexpected onion surprise! For a side note it's so easy to order online for a quick stop on the way to work. Perfect every time!!!

    It was just OK... Ex…read morebagel baker here. You can still find fresh, kettle boiled bagels in Va Beach. I think these bagels come down from NY. If you enjoy a great bagel, I recommend you keep looking. Wife and I had lunch, lox bagel for me, BLTA for her. Food came out fairly quickly, but the coffee machine was being serviced (I have seen this same comment on other reviews) and I did not get my coffee until we were halfway through lunch. Food was just OK, nothing to write home about. And it was not cheap. These days when every dollar counts, you can do better.

    Great fun little brunch spot. Stumbled in here right after attending the Virginia Beach farmers…read moremarket on a Saturday. Loved sitting in their back patio on a warm spring day. It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'd encourage them to be more targeted when describing some recommendations on the menu, she simply listed about the entire menu she asked "what are some of your favorites". Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots. I was simply visiting from out of state so I won't return, but I'd encourage you to! They are also included on Resy so be sure to book there or use a Resy credit if you have it!

Food came out very quick and they easily added things to my order. The biscuits and gravy were delicious! Personally I definitely recommend adding an extra egg, jalapeños and cheese. The pancakes were solid too, albeit a bit pricy. The restaurant had great vibes and intentional design. Indoor does have limited seated but there is plenty of outdoor in the front and back. Well worth a visit!

I already knew this was my destination as I had been following them since they opened in VB. Upon our arrival we found the Cafe about a 1/4th of the way full so I had hopes for breakfast in a quiet setting. Even though there was a steady flow of traffic, we were able to dine in a relaxed setting without feeling rushed. I mention this because with it being a holiday weekend full of Jeepers, I fully expected them to be packed. The wait to order was too long as it left me staring at the pastry window so long I almost ordered one of everything however; I refrained from doing so but still bought 4 pastries, French toast & seasoned potatoes. Yes yes, alot of food for 1 person but I still had 2 days left in my visit and well, I have a thing for pastries. The pastries were: mango & passion fruit eclair, a pineapple muffin, lemon raspberry cake & profiteroles. I loved everything with the exception of the eclair. It wasn't anything against the eclair, it's just the mango/passionfruit mixture was just too passionate for my tastes. The muffin reminded me of my own homemade upside pineapple cake without all the brown sugar. It was light and buttery. The Lemon raspberry slice was delightful & not the least bit tart or too sweet. A mixture of both flavors without either one overpowering the other. The cake was super moist, perfect. The profiteroles were my favorite. They reminded me of that feeling I had the 1st time I tasted them while living in Italy. The choux perfectly baked and so delightfully light. The French toast was good enough without the side of syrup. The star for me of the breakfast items were the potatoes. I LOVED them. They were served HOT, seasoned just right with their insides softer that a baby bottom. I coulda just ordered 2 servings of those & bypassed the toast. All in all, well worth the wait. The folks were friendly, the Cafe clean and the seating plentiful and comfortable. I would recommend this place for both pastries & French toast & spuds.
