Perfect breakfast place for everyone. There is traditional, fancy, and superb dishes combined with a relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere. I would bring children or make it my office. There is places for both here.

A bit of a sapphic vibe. (Wish they would grow this.) Latte was smooth breakfast sandwich egg sausage and special sauce on a toasted brioche was yummy. Prices are affordable . Regular coffee was a bit sour could be improved. Comfortable atmosphere. Good music. Lots of people on laptops . Liquor is available. Tea and coffee cooler of beverages.

This coffee shop is absolutely great. It's huge! Great for studying and family gatherings. The coffee they serve is excellent, I love that they use blanchard's, and the staff is super friendly!

Stopped in here randomly with my cousin and his dog early one morning in the fall. Atmosphere is bright and cheerful, very close to ocean front park. We sat outside with the pup and enjoyed the sun. There are also a couch and tables inside to sit at. There is no service outside on the patio so you just need to check in or pop in when you need something, since it is a fairly small space this isn't a big deal and helps it feel casual. We ordered avocado toast and strawberry waffles. Both were tasty, the portions were a little small but with the coffees and water we got, it was a very tasty experience. For sure a nice place to stop in for a bite, drink, break from the sun, or pit stop on your way to the beach! There is street parking and a shopping center nearby so finding a spot isn't difficult.

How amazing, the best coffee shop in all of Norfolk Hampton roads, Ashley was amazing, she introduced us to this location and I must say, I had the the espresso martini and it was so delicious . The coffee crumble cake was just as excellent , the croissant filled with chocolate was delicious , so was the crumb cake . The service is the reason for the review and the atmosphere was beautiful , will come back here again and again. Highly recommend

Very good bloody mary! It was flavorful and just spicy enough to satisfy. The bloody mary came garnished with a slice of lemon and three HUGE green olives. Tasty! I only wish I had come around three hours later, when happy hour kicks in at 4 p.m. That would've made it taste even better by default! I also got the breakfast burrito, which was basic, but good. It didn't need any gimmicks-- it had plenty of eggs and enough bacon to satisfy. The salsa that comes with it was good, as well; chunky enough for substance but smooth enough to pour out into the burrito between bites. I also ordered the pretzel for sharing, and I was pleasantly surprised when the order included not one but TWO big 'ol pretzels. Plenty for sharing! At first, I was a little disappointed that all the pretzel came with was hot mustard, but then I tasted it and it changed my mind! The mustard was very tangy and potent, and it went well with the pretzel. The pretzel was warm and soft on the inside. Stellar! I'll definitely be back to Mudita in the future.

we were visiting the area and wanted to get some good coffee. we stumbled across this place and it didn’t disappoint! coffee was fresh and natural. food options were filling and reasonable prices. The vibe was also nice to study or just hangout ! service was excellent :) the caramel latte was amazing and so was the cappuccino!!!

Really cute. Staff was very nice and coffee was of good quality. I got a cold brew with lavender syrup which was amazing
