Cafe Milo — Restaurant in Norfolk

I am stuffed, actually I'm beyond stuffed!! I wanted to have brunch, but it seems as though all breakfast/brunch places in Norfolk, VA, close at 2pm. Thankfully, I was able to find this place called Cafe Milo @cafe.milo_va

The Brunch:.....🥓🥐🍳🥣🥚🍞🍓🍇 I went with the French Toast and Chicken. My server mentioned that was a good choice, but suggested that I get it Banana Foster Style...😁...I did of,course, because I'm always willing to take recommendations from the people that work there....This was so sweet and savory, I really enjoyed the cooked bananas topped with walnuts. The French Toast was good, too, but it was just something about mixing the well seasoned chicken with the soft banana and walnuts. It's different but so good!

I also got a side of fruit, bacon, and sausage, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I asked her if the fruit came with some Tajin on top, and she was like "naw" 🤣 I know what I tasted it had some type of spice to it... You can see in the pictures that the fruit had something on it....Regardless, it was damn good!.

The Drinks:🥂🍾🍸🍹 I've always asked what is brunch without a mimosa? Honestly, it's just regular ole breakfast to me, actually a Continental Breakfast. I was very pleased to see Cafe Milo had about 9 different Mimosa, but unfortunately, I had to limit myself to only 2 because of travel..🥴🥴 I started with the Pineapple/Watermelon and she did my mimosa right!! Very good champagne to juice ratio. Next, I had the Mimosa Rita, which had tequila in it . This was good, but the Pineapple/Watermelon was a hit for me. I want to try all of them, so hopefully, I can try the flight next time.

The Service: They were very nice people here, as soon as I walked in, everyone spoke. This is no exaggeration. Literally, everyone spoke and welcomed me in. I strongly encourage everyone to visit this restaurant for good food, great service, and an all-around amazing time.

Restaurant Rating: 94 out of 100%...

My husband and I stumbled upon this little place while on break from a glass blowing class across the street. From the outside, it is small and unassuming; but once you're inside, you can see how special it is.

The staff very clearly love what they do and where they work. You can feel the happiness and affection emanating in each corner of the building as they casually chat with one another and stroll between guests asking how their experience is. The layout may be tiny, but the staff makes it feel so much bigger than it is.

The vegan falafel wrap was to die for. My husband could not stop raving about Milo's Burger and the seasoned french fries. The best part of my meal, however, was the whipped coffee with lavender flavor added in. Our server said he had never made that particular drink before, but he made it like a pro. It was easily one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had.

I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone in the Norfolk area with some time to kill. It was truly a hidden gem. We will definitely...

Update: I visited this place again and had an amazing experience! I met one of the owners and he was truly amazing, very polite, and was very hospitable! I ordered the lambs chops, eggs, and grits. The food was superb and seasoned very well! There was no wait time to be seated and our food came out shortly after ordering. I was very impressed! I'll definitely be dining here again!

I dined here last week for brunch and can say that the food is absolutely amazing! The staff were very friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in! It's a very nice and chill atmosphere and is a little small in there. There was one server there and he was really nice and friendly. The food was very reasonably priced, well seasoned, and the portion sizes were great! I ordered the turkey sausage, waffles, seasoned potatoes and eggs with grits. The grits were different but had a lot of flavor! The seasoned potatoes were the highlight for me!! I loved it! I would love to try this place again. Also, they had a very nice...
