aLatte Cafe — Restaurant in Norfolk

After trying many overpriced items and not loving anything I thought I'd just tell the barista what I wanted. I informed the cashier I wanted a sweet iced coffee with cream. The cashier said she knew what to make me and just rang something up. I trusted that she'd make me an amazing drink, so I said okay. A minute or so passes and I go up to get my order and it's a black cold brew...not sweet and zero cream. I then told a barista that it's not what I wanted and she basically said too bad. After a minute or so she said she'd make me another drink, then after dropping it off decided to say this "next time you know what you want just say it and dont leave it up to us". I think sweet iced coffee with cream is pretty clear. Needless to say I wont be back, so there wont be a next time and they also lost the business of the company I had with me.

I’m giving 5 stars for the service, smiles and friendly faces - but unfortunately zero stars for the coffee. Since arriving from Australia I’ve been dying for a real espresso coffee, a latte or cappuccino, but it appears there’s not a single place that knows how to actually texture and pour milk for milk coffees. I was disappointed after searching high and low for a venue that had an espresso machine (back home you won’t even find a place, any type of place, without one), other than Starbucks - who certainly do NOT know how to work milk. This place unfortunately was no different. I can’t drop the venues ratings though based on that, it’s obviously just an American - a country where espresso coffee culture just doesn’t exist. I so wanted to jump in behind their machine and show them how to do it - but didn’t want to insult. Again, though, the place was lively and people...

I haven’t been here in a long time. The atmosphere is pleasant. Real chill as it should be for a cafe in downtown. Ordered an egg waffle with butter and syrup, Canadian bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a large coffee. The coffee was excellent. However the egg waffle was reminiscent of an eggo waffle that I grew up eating. Not much happening there. The kicker is the Canadian bacon egg and cheese sandwich or should I say just an egg sandwich. Yep, no Canadian bacon! Just egg and cheese. Maybe we should have gone to our regular spot. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Try better! We support local businesses but it’s hard when things like...
