Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Chesapeake

"The best food is also the freshest food, and no one takes that sentiment to heart like Commune, located in the ViBe Creative District. With a flexible breakfast and lunch menu, each delectable dish is crafted solely with regional and local ingredients, from the bread to the meats and the cheeses."

"Commune is a family style shared eatery where you pull up a chair to a large table or at the bar and order fresh food directly from the farm. It’s claim to fame is being the area’s first farmer-owned restaurant. The food is hearty and the atmosphere is friendly."

"One of the premier cafes in Virginia Beach is Three Ships Coffee Roasters. Just a stone’s throw away from the sandy beach, this cafe is the perfect place to come for a fresh cup of coffee before hitting that beach. On a hot summer’s day, one of their infamous cold brews just might be the best drink before spending the day in the sand."

"A small team of self-made roasters, our journey lies in bringing you a unique, perfectly complex cup of coffee. Humble hard work, attention to detail, and a deep love of flavor are what power their process, from how they source the beans to roasting and serving them. It's a hometown operation that r… Read More"

"If you're looking for authentic Hawaiian coffee by people who know exactly what they're doing, Bad Ass has the right idea. Even though this is a chain, you get small-town vibes from its laid-back atmosphere and friendly service. It's right in the heart of the Vibe District at the corner of 18th street and Cypress Ave, so if you're doing some shopping or checking out the artwork, stop by, say "Aloha," and try for one of their signature or Hawaiian blends."

"Bad Ass Coffee definitely offers more of a focus on coffee than tea, so be sure to order coffee if you fancy a hot drink. The food is good too, and you can definitely taste the difference and the care that goes into preparing the coffee versus what it would be at a chain place. There are also smoothies for the summer months which are just as delicious as the coffee drinks."

"Hip and eclectic, Cure is the place to be for Norfolk’s creative crowd. In addition to hosting live music evenings and artists’ receptions on a regular basis, this cool brasserie also serves up great, casual fare of snack-like bites: go for the roasted beet salad at lunchtime, or the cheese and charcuterie board in the evening, where much of the meat is actually made on premises. The biggest attraction, however, is the drinks menu, consisting of high-quality, locally roasted coffees as well as beers from Virginia breweries, a showcase of Cure’s dedication to supporting regional farmers and producers."

"One of Norfolk’s legendary coffeehouses, The Cure has been one of the favorite safe harbors for weary students in recent years. Located about a 5 minute drive from ODU’s campus, The Cure is nestled near the heart of downtown Norfolk. The Cure is known for its great variety of coffee drinks, delicious (and healthy) food, and local craft beers."

"Located in historic Ghent, Cafe Stella is known for its incredible in-house coffee brews found nowhere else. It’s mix of great coffee, extensive food options, and warm atmosphere make it a favorite for ODU students looking to get a break from campus life. It’s less than 10 minutes from campus, letting you feel like your off campus while still being convenient to get to."

"Boasting "explosive milkshakes," funnel cakes, churros, crepes, "bubble" waffles, and plenty of other mouth-watering treats, the Sweet Spot is a confection shop like no other. Their Instagram-worthy concoctions will be sure to wow you and your family. They promise fresh ingredients, making your delicious "art" on the spot when you order."

"Check out The Sweet Spot, which has earned four stars out of 26 reviews on Yelp. You can find the creperie, which offers desserts, ice cream and frozen yogurt and more, at 1718 Atlantic Ave. This story was created automatically using local business data, then reviewed and augmented by an editor."

"A quick walk from the beach, visitors will find The Sweet Shop. This Instagram worthy ice cream place has attracted both tourists and the local community. The shop with its bright pink adorned walls and booths make for the perfect backdrop for food photos and of course selfies."

"Their website puts it best, “SPOON Dessert Cafe is one part hometown bakery, one part old world tea room, and one part urban coffee house swirled into a single relaxed and yummy establishment.” SPOON is all about using natural, locally sourced ingredients and making sure that everything they serve is made with quality in mind. There’s something to satisfy every sweet tooth from cookies, brownies, scones, pies, and cakes to pastries, and the most awesome thing about this café is that their menu changes every two to three weeks, so there’s always something new to try!"

"Pourfavor, a spot to score coffee, tea, sandwiches and desserts in Mears Corner, is another cheap go-to, with four stars out of 118 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5705 Lynnhaven Parkway, Suite 108, to try it for yourself. On the menu you'll find muffins, cinnamon rolls and assorted cakes."

"Located inland in Virginia Beach, Pour Favor Coffee Shop is serving out lattes and cappuccinos that are almost too pretty to drink."

"Before we dive into their unique Sours and award-winning IPAs, the historic building Reaver is housed in holds stories which make this brewery more of a destination tied to American history instead of a place to slug brews. The building was formerly a post office that dates back to 1945. While inside you will notice an upstairs portion to the brewery which is also classified as a catwalk - original to the layout of the post office."

"Next up is Mears Corner's Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing Co., situated at 1805 Kempsville Road. With 4.5 stars out of 87 reviews on Yelp, the brewery and event space has proven to be a local favorite."

"The Backstory: Deadline is one of the newest breweries in Virginia Beach, as in opened-its doors-a-few-months-ago new. The name plays on the history of its three founders -- Jason Marks, Erica Greenway, and Darrell Cuenca -- who all have backgrounds at news organizations. (Marks and Greenway work for local broadcast stations and Cuenca was a writer for the Virginian-Pilot, the local newspaper.)The Brewery: Deadline is a nanobrewery, which means it’s especially tiny."

"Grapefruit Tequila Shandy Photo Credit: @deadlinebrewingproject. Deadline Brewing Project is a nano-brewery specializing in hand-crafted, unique, flavorful beers focused on seasonal and local ingredients. They have plenty of Trivia Nights, too, which is always fun to get the crowd together for a good round of themed trivia."

"Serving up Italian cuisine to the people of Norfolk is Razzo. While small in size, Razzo makes up for its lack of space with a menu full of flavour. The lemon chicken – pan-fried with crispy pancetta – has contributed to the venue’s popularity, with its simplicity but intensity of flavour."
