Norfolk Coffee & Tea Co 212 East 18th Street, Norfolk, VA 23517

"I absolutely love this coffee roaster/store. We have an espresso machine at home, and are a bit picky with our coffee. We have been buying our coffee beans from here for over 2 years for our home and absolutely love it! We’ve sent many friends to them as well because I just don’t think you can get better coffee anywhere else around here. It’s roasted fresh in house (the smell in the shop is mmmmmmmm) and they have their own blends or single origin from all over the world (fair trade and organic options as well) and they can give it to you whole bean or ground. The staff is friendly and the owner greets everyone who comes in. They usually give a discount if you pay cash, so hit up the ATM on your way there!!"

"Didn’t realize they closed at 130 on Saturday. Gave them a call and they stayed open a little longer for us. Staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. And the owner was full of great stories and even better customer service. Will definitely be back soon."

"This place is the friendliest! Looks a little iffy on the outside but I promise you it’s great. I was greeted by the owner who was extremely friendly. I was looking for a certain bean that they sent overseas to my husband while he was deployed that he loved. He said it beat out all the other coffees hands down. Cool they have the roastery right there to see and a ton of variety. Even had warm peanuts! The owner was so sweet and gave me a free seasoning for it being my first time visiting in. Very reasonably priced too. Definitely would recommend!"

"We’ve been getting coffee from Norfolk Coffee and Tea for close to two decades. Even when we were stationed in Japan we ordered it. The Southern Plantation has been our favorite roast. Chris and the staff are always so polite and courteous. If you’re looking to support a local business and get amazing coffee, look no further than Norfolk Coffee and Tea. 10/10!!!"

"We had a great time here. Small locally owned shop. A great place to just take in the smells and the rustic look of aged equipment. The owners were very nice, giving out free cookies and being there to help with anything. Quick to start up a conversation and very polite. The teas are plentiful and come in bins that give thorough directions and suggestions on how to prepare the tea and what it goes well with."
