Always Latte Cafe — Restaurant in Norfolk

La Vie Always Latte... La Vie Always a Pleasure and delight! I read a lot of great reviews, but I tell you, nothing is like a journey all your own. First, the location is great, it's at the entrance to a trailer/mobile home subdivision - the setting seems so appropriate that you can imagine this cafe to offer the wonderful escape to mobile home residents just outside of their homes. Then upon entering, you are greeted with very cozy setup - couch by a table full of magazines - the comforting message here is to stay a while. There are tables too of course. You have to come here to immerse in the hospitality and the friendliness of the owners that is so intoxicating. They would share fun facts about how this place was once a pharmacy (no wonder you see the wall cut out that you have clear view of the shelves), that their beverages are named after their brood of canine family. Speaking of love for furry friends. I asked if it was okay to bring in mine. Guy got a pup cup to go - thank you! There's also an area in the back sort of like a doggie park, so convenient! Back to what they offer: a looooong list of coffee beverages which come in hot, cold or even blended? and their Lotus drinks that have health benefits - they even have a glossary of all the roots and plant extracts that go with their healthy drinks! They offer pastries which they would warm up for you. I ordered the Smores (hot) and the lotus drink (orange passion flavor). Their 757 deal that runs throughout October gets you a specialty drink and a pastry - sweet deal! Both drinks were delicious! And oh they support local businesses - there are beautifully handmade leather bracelets (I bought 7!!) and some necklaces of...

As a fellow small business owner, I recently visited Always Latte Cafe/La'Vie Cafe in Norfolk, VA, and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual hangouts and focused work sessions.

The menu offers a delightful range of beverages and snacks. Their coffee is top-notch, with rich flavors and the perfect balance of strength. I tried their signature latte, and it was one of the best I've had in Norfolk. The pastries were fresh and delicious, complementing the drinks perfectly.

One of the standout aspects of Always Latte Cafe/La'Vie Cafe is their commitment to supporting other small businesses in the area. Laura, the owner, goes above and beyond by hosting networking events through her business association, creating a strong sense of community and collaboration among local entrepreneurs.

The cafe also has an amazing aroma—a sophisticated, almost floral scent from the teas they use, mingling beautifully with the classic coffee smell. It's a sensory delight that adds to the overall experience.

The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every customer feels welcome and well taken care of. The service is prompt, and the baristas are skilled, crafting each drink with care.

Whether you're looking for a morning pick-me-up, a place to relax, or a spot to get some work done, Always Latte Cafe/La'Vie Cafe is an excellent choice. I highly...

WOW in every way :-D If I could give more stars I would! Pam, Laura and "Mom," aim to please every customer that walks through their door. After entering their cafe, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly conversation, and you felt like family. My husband ordered the garlic and herb grilled chicken sandwich, which was delicious. I ordered the the tuna salad (homemade) with melted provolone cheese on marble rye which was heavenly. Our biggest decision was what to order for dessert because they have an assortment of desserts from cookies, brownies, mochi, cheesecake muffins, coffee cake, etc. We shared a lemon mochi pastry which was so filling that we couldn't eat the protein rich walnut crunch coffee cake. No worries! We ate it later! Both desserts were awesome! We chose blond roast (chemical free) coffee which was tasted so unbelievably good I could've drank an entire pot, and then some (lol). Lastly, their prices are very fair. *Additionally, these women genuinely care about supporting their local community. We should pay it forward, and kindly support a woman owned...
