Really enjoyed the cool decor and the classy vibe of this place. The food was amazing -- I got the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread, and it was delicious. The bread was so good, especially for gluten free! Ordered a coconut macaroon as well, and it was perfect. Wonderful service!

Great coffee and some baked products. I didn't look but I assume they have some gluten free products and probably breakfast choices. Love the ambiance.

We found this place on Happy Cow while looking for a place to grab some morning coffee/matcha and breakfast. It was right down the street from the Oriental Garden we were coming from, so it seemed like a good choice. So happy that we got to experience this place. Great food, coffee, matcha and service! They have a lot of vegan and gluten free options, which we were excited about. We both opted for the oatmeal and added flax, dried cherries and peanut butter. It's made with their housemade plant milk and was delicious! Loved the atmosphere and the artwork also. Overall, this was a great find and a fantastic way to end our quick Norfolk excursion.

Great atmosphere. Great selection. Comfortable seating area with a relaxed vibe. I usually order online because the menu is so great. I was pleasantly surprised when I went in person. I usually get Coffee which is great but this time I got a smoothie which was also excellent. The smoothie bowls are really good too, they are always filled with fresh fruit and the presentation is beautiful. They do have a gluten free bagel option. The bagel is a little dense honestly but it's nice to have the option.

This was our first visit as a we will definitely go back. Coffee and tea were both good. We had avocado toast and a Cuban on a gluten free bun. Both were excellent. The server was also very nice. The inside decor was a bit eclectic and comfortable cafe style. I would have given 5 stars, but the outside seating could use some attention. We chose to go there because the have outdoor seating and we liked to take our doggo. The server brought her a bowl of water and was very welcoming. If the patio had been better cared for- swept, etc.. it would instantly have become my new favorite place. Again, we'll definitely go back. Also, plus points for the GF options.
