We loved this coffee shop! We stopped for a quick pick me up coffee on the way back to the beach from having lunch at Barrel 17, and very much enjoyed it. They have a lot of very original options for coffee drinks and food. Next time we are in town we'll definitely come back to eat!

We LOVE Java surf! We use to go all the time and that even my daughters first restaurant. She would always get avocado until she could have eggs then avocado and eggs. We haven’t been in almost 4 years so when… we went to Virginia that was the first place we had to go back too. I was so happy because she finally got to try the mexi melt and she loved it!😍😍 1000% recommend this place! Great food and super nice staff.

Very slow service. Waited an hour for my meal which was a BLT. Bacon was soggy and cold.

I moved here from Northern VA about 6 months ago. I found this gem of a coffee place. Great look, vibe, coffee and food. This has been my favorite coffee shop ever but then today I had the worst experience. I worked in the restaurant business for 10 years and was caught off guard by the way I was treated. The strange thing is it wasn’t a grouchy… server but the owner himself. I go there at least 3 days a week and tell everyone I know how great it is but now after today…. You are the face of this great little coffee shop, why would you treat any customer (especially one that

Me and my fiance visited Virginia about a month ago and noticed this cute little spot right beside the Airbnb we stayed in and let me tell you they did not disappointe the service and atmosphere was definitely giving a vibe to look for and the food and beverage was very memorable if you stop by make sure you order a mimos with strawberry, and chicken sandwich, and the homemade blueberry muffin it was our favorite breakfast/brunch spot

Horrible horrible horrible first the young ladies are trying their best but the setup of the restaurant is absolutely horrible. So you have to order outside then you can sit inside or outside. If you order coffee or any drink it takes maybe about 15 min to get that, Food took over 45 minutes to get an bacon and spinach omlette my coffee ran out and not even a refill there no table service. The spinach and bacon had more bacon then eggs the cappinchio was just sooooo strong and disgusting. I don't recommend this place at all until they fix their menu and their chef cause it was really bad. They

Loved it here! We walked from our hotel on 24th street. We were confused at first how to order but the girls explained that you order outside and then pick a table inside or out and they bring the food to you. I made my own breakfast sandwich- a croissant with ham, cheese & cream cheese and it was AMAZING! I also had the toasted marshmallow iced coffee which was good, a little strong but I added some cream & sugar and it was good! My boyfriend got the cavalier club and he loved it! There is a pitcher where they offer free water which is cool. Very down to earth atmosphere. We wanted to go back

Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Limited parking, don't recommend parking at the restaurant if you have a large car as you probably won't have space. Orders were placed outside then you can choose to sit indoor/outdoor and the food in brought to you. The staff was all very kind!

Great food and great coffee. I got the build your own breakfast sandwich, which was delicious and a really tasty iced chai latte with almond milk. My boyfriend enjoyed his Americano and one of their scrambles!

Cute little spot. The murals are beautiful and the staff are all friendly. I got the craftsman shake and it was delicious but it was $8.00 for a Starbucks tall. It was not work that much for the size you get. My husband got the pico avocado salad and it was served with no dressing. I got the Baja jack panini and it was good but it was nothing I couldn’t make at home. There is so much potential for this place and it’s super cute which attracts a lot of people in but the prices are so high for the quality and quantity of food you actually receive. 3 stars for atmosphere 2 stars for the food.

We are visiting from out of town and loved the coffees and smoothies. Best iced coffee we have found locally. The music and atmosphere was great. Staff was very friendly but finally the thing that led to… leaving this review was the changing table in the bathroom. Any place that goes to the extent to have a clean and much more comfortable place to change your babies is a thoughtful and inclusive place I would choose to spend my money 💕

Excellent all around! Friendly service, great food and coffee and a great atmosphere. Perfect for enjoying a hot breakfast and coffee on a gloomy day. Erica was the perfect hostess/server and the food came out fast. I got “The Lighthouse” and it did not disappoint.

I would give 5 stars just for the coffee but the food, staff and decor all deserve 5 if not more stars if I could rate any higher!!! I thought I would have a "light" lunch and ordered the club sandwich. This thing was HUGE and tasted amazing!!!! Definitely Worth going to if you're in town!
