Coffee here was mediocre. I saw this place on a tour guide of VA Beach so decided to give it a try. I got 2 signature lattes, one Almond Mocha and one Toffee Bar - both with almond milk. I had high hopes and was excited because the descriptions seemed like they would taste delicious. I was underwhelmed with the flavor. They hardly had any sweetness, and I had to add some syrup when I got home to salvage it. Luckily, the flavors came through enough, but I still had to doctor it myself which defeats the purpose.All in all, the vibe is nice and they have lots of merchandise to purchase, so it could be a good place for souvenirs if you’re visiting VA Beach, but in terms of a good quality latte, I would go elsewhere.

Great coffee shop! I got a Making Waves smoothie that was delicious and the employee helped me choose a coffee as I wanted to try something new and it was great as well. Must try if in the area, and they supported the half marathon I was there to run. Super cool!!!

Went here on a whim while on vacation. We had the blended drinks - I had the Snickers one the first time. It was so good, we went back again and I bought a bag of their house blend. Totally worth it! I’m drinking some now! The shop itself is small and cozy and the staff is super friendly! Definitely a must when in the ViBe Creative District!

I paid almost 10 dollars for a lunch bowl that was maybe 1/4 the way full, the only thing I asked for was no onions. No Peppers or carrots were in the bowl and a small amount of spinach and chicken. This is the second time they have done this to my order, I will no longer order from them, knowing you charge someone for something is maybe filled with 3 dollars worth of food is ridiculous. I have added pictures with the dressing on, you can see the bottom of the bowl, thats how little is in the bowl.

Was not happy with my visit came to pick up a door Dash order took me 10 minutes to drive to the place. When I walked in the counter girl immediately was judging look at me and very often Lee said it’ll be down in a minute. I stood there for 15 minutes minutes. Watched other people come in three or four minutes after me to get their food and coffees before me. Multiple copies I was only there for two items a wrap and one latte. Place that has a Hawaiian Vive you guys sure are pretty judge mental for people that have a Hawaiian style. This isn’t the first time I’ve came there and felt like I was unwanted. I realize door dash drivers are not your priority but we are people and the job runs on a time frame and then you blatantly take 20 minutes to make an order I should’ve picked up in five that’s a little ridiculous and kind of feel like you do it on purpose. Needless to say I won’t be returning to this place.. in a time when the world is so hateful and stuff happening all around I don’t wanna go to a place that just makes makes it worse. Def not the vibe

I was apartment hunting and came across this so I told myself to try it out. I was wondering why there were many people there. I like this place it is a nice place to chill relax and just drink.

Really cute place, full of character. Went here after the Saturday Farmer’s Market. Banana Nut smoothie was delicious. It’s only .50¢ to upgrade to a large smoothie - do it! Mediterranean wrap was nice, but mine didn’t have the feta cheese. A large variety of coffee selections, love the vibe!

Love this cute (super busy) coffee spot! We stopped by twice during our trip. The drinks blew our minds the first time so we were extremely excited to go back but the second time those same drinks tasted really different and weren’t that good. Baked goods were delicious! Looking forward to trying their other signature lattes when I’m in VA again

Prices for food a bit high. Need to speed up service too slow. If you looking for quick pickup and go not the place for you.

My wife loves this place and anytime were in the area we stop by. Weve been to Hawaii and she fell in love with kona coffee. I honestly am not the biggest fan so this 5 stars is more from her. Although the blended coffee slushy think that comes from the machine is what I get everytime and its awesome and great on a hot day.

AWESOME and underrated spot! I had a coffee in here the other day and it exceeded my expectations. The interior was super fun and had local coffee vibes for sure. They have a HUGE assortment of pastries, I highly recommend the coffee cake, it was the best I’ve had. Staff was super friendly and upbeat!

We try to come each time were in VB. They have tons of flavor options, and their blended coffees are so smooth. This time things seemed a little hectic, but they were all working hard to keep up with the demand. I miss the chalkboard menu so you can stand out of the way and decide what you want. The biggest menus are directly in front of the register so you cant really view them without being in someones way or staff thinking youre ready to order. We still love them, its fresh and accurate and delicious. Even tho they were busy there was only a 10 min wait.

Coffee was great and tasty, the baked goods were extremely yummy and delicious! Small with limited seating and parking though, so make sure to come at a less busy time if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee inside! The staff were very sweet and hard working, and I highly recommend checking this place out!

My friend recommended this place to me because Im an avid coffee drinker. I bought three different coffees, and disliked all three. I threw them out then walked out. Do not get the grasshopper, the Irish hazelnut mix, or the pumpkin island. All three of these drinks can be made better at another location.

Jan.17, 2021: Nice fun tiny atmosphere. Very disappointing: Only ONE (cashier) of six staff members had their mask covering both nose & mouth; one staffer had entire mask under their chin; rest of staff only covered mouth. I pointed it out to the cashier that she was the only one who was wearing their mask correctly; she immediately looked at her peers mask next to her (making the beverages) and said nothing. Final thought: Mgmt does not enforce correct mask wear for staff.Aloha! Thank you for your response re: Jan.17. I visited (Jan.21) and again loved my purchases. Today, two of four staff members who I saw were perfect re: masks. I will continue to visit but helping to stop the spread is so important. Aloha 😎

First time there. Disappointed that they ran out of cream cheese. Not sure how that happens or why someone cant run across the street to 7-11... but hey, Im not in charge.The food we did get was good and the service was friendly. Im sure we will be back... just not sure how soon.

Really delicious, quality coffee and espresso! They have a great selection of home baked goods ready for grab and go. I ordered an everything bagel extra toasted with a slice of tomato and they made it exactly like I wanted.Friendly staff, great Hawaiian aesthetics.Con: expensive. Two lattes, one bagel w cc and one cookie - $19.Covid-19 update: as of end of July, they have outdoor and indoor seating and placed hand sanitizer on each table - super nice touch!

Excellent experience for my first time! Super friendly and very accommodating of food allergies. My husband and I don’t eat out much because of that, so we are always super careful when we go out and this place went above and beyond today to make sure my drink was wonderful! My husband even said his coffee was the best since being out in this area after coming from Washington state, which is well known for their coffee. Thank you so much for your outstanding customer service, we will definitely be back!

One of my favorite coffee shops down at the oceanfront! Whatever you get, its going to be delicious! I love that they use Kona coffee, and have never been disappointed in anything Ive ordered. I really love the Salted Caramel Smores Latte with an extra shot, and for food the Kona Steak with a sundried tomato wrap is my go-to. It is so yummy, and the bit of kick from the spices is perfect!

Love love this place! I get it delivered from door dash on my days off and I just love it! Food is so fresh and the frappe I get is very flavorful, creamy and not made of mostly ice, like I get from most places. If I could bring myself to get up early enough, I would come here before work each morning!! Their wraps are also amazing and are NOT drowned in sauce so you are really able to enjoy the flavor of everything!

While visiting from Vermont I stumbled across this awesome café! Some of the best breakfast food around and by far the best coffee I’ve ever drank! The staff was super friendly and I enjoyed chatting with the girls as I waited for my food. And the atmosphere is super cool and laid back! I made that my go to coffee stop for my entire vacation! Can’t wait to come back and visit again! Thanks from a very happy Vermonter!

Great little cafe with good coffee, good food, and good service.The coffee I had was great, which was medium roast black. Nice flavor to it and smelled great.The food was actually surprisingly delicious. I had the Kona Steak burrito which was amazing. I also had the zucchini carrot cake bread which was amazing as well, and paired with the black coffee exceptionally well.Service was great and staff was nice. Turnaround from ordering coffee is fast, food took a bit longer but they were also somewhat busy.Overall, its definitely a go to place if Im in VA Beach and Id be a regular if I was actually from the area. Definitely visit it if you had a long drive going to VA Beach or if you need your morning cup.

If this place isn’t close to where you’re staying or live in VB....go there anyway! Definitely the best coffee ☕️(and coffee shop) in town and one of the best on the East Coast.The coffee ☕️ is truly delicious - and I’m an Iced Coffee guy so it’s tough to make that as tasty as hot....but they did!I’ve had a variety of food here - today I had the Tropical Rush for breakfast and it’s fantastic. I’ve had the Sriracha Thai Chicken Wrap in the past as well and it was banging 💥.As always, a friendly reminder to BRING YOUR OWN CUP and stop using a 1-time Use container (even if they are recyclable!)!! 🥤🥤Bonus: Thank you Bad Ass for using real silverware and bowls (not plastic or paper) when dining in!

Review №59

Unfortunately the employees were extremely rude and unenthusiastic. Took 20 minutes to get our coffee when we were in a time crunch, would’ve just preferred they told us it would take a while so we could get our money back and not be late to our plans.When asking why it was taking over 15 minutes for a drink that is mostly milk, an dusty/frumpy older woman in a purple shirt, an employee, made condescending remark to us.Would not recommend this place. The coffee was nothing special and tasted burnt anyways. Waste of our time and money.

I’ve ordered from this restaurant twice. The first experience was delicious but the second was not as good. My friend ordered a build your own bowl and they forgot the avocado, but the food was good so she didn’t really mind. I ordered the body patrol and there was paper still left on the cheese. Really hoping this is a one time thing because I really enjoyed them the first time.

Review №76

Unsure how this place has such good reviews. I stopped here for to go breakfast and got a drip coffee, latte, pre-made bread and a breakfast sandwich. I waited over 20 minutes for the latte and breakfast sandwich to be made. My latte was very good but that was it. The drip coffee, pre-made bread pastry and breakfast sandwich wasnt good at all. Very mediocre. Hard pass on a busy weekend morning.No employees wore masks, which is gross to me at a food place and for how small and crowded this shop was.
