Breakfast & Brunch
These are our favorite go-to places for breakfast and brunch. Some are close by and some are a bit of a drive, but whatever you choose you’ll experience a little of what it’s like to be a Virginia Beach local!
Good food with a clean, fun atmosphere. There is always a wait on the weekends, but it’s never too long!

Our all-time favorite breakfast place! You will definitely need to wait for your seat, but with the outdoor bar and gardens, it’s all part of the experience. We love to walk next door to sawdust road for coffee and tea while we wait for our seat.

This place is soooo delicious. Truly farm-to-table and it supports local farmers! Commune is a must-visit place, and pared with a walk to the boardwalk and a trip to the local farmers market, it makes for the perfect morning.

There are other locations for this place (and they’re all delicious), but this one is our favorite. We love to stop here on our way to Chic’s Beach or the botanical gardens, and with upstairs seating it’s easy to relax and breathe before moving on to your next adventure!
