Cafe Genevieve — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

This is such a cute shop!

Admittedly, not much parking and they clearly have signs that the surrounding businesses (with far more of it) are not friendly to parking in their lots.

It's in a historic building and is very charming inside. Staff were super friendly and I ordered a delicious iced latte and chose one of their special holiday macaroons (a large one) which was marshmallow flavored and shaped like a bunny for Easter. It was SO good.

I saw they have some breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soups, avocado toast and savories so I plan to come back for lunch or brunch sometime soon when dropping my daughter off at nearby daycare!

Very cute patio, tons of events and cookie classes as well as private rental of space.

I love finding new...

Super cute location. Had a tea previously and it was fine and a nice local option. Today, the croissants weren’t heated up all the way and all 5 were stone-cold in the middle. There was a private party in the back but since it was some of our party’s first visit, they followed the sign for additional seating and got confused when lady in the back stopped them and was quite rude about them accidentally trying to follow the sign into the back room. They were quite shaken. The barista seemed new and didn’t know the drink ordered. I know it’s an independent business and wanted to give them a try and hate giving sub 4-5 star reviews, but after $60+ of food and drinks, it will be some time...

Place was nice but nothing really special and parking is terrible. The service was slow and drinks were poorly made. Out of three coffees, only one was satisfactory. The other two tasted like burnt coffee. This was not a dark roast and it wasn’t expected to be sweet. There was ZERO flavor other than burnt coffee. I always like to try macaroons and these were ok. The two downsides were that the outer shell was so dry it crumbled in your mouth and hand like powder and the flavors didn’t even come close to the flavors they were supposed to be. Overall I am glad that I tried this cafe but I will not be back and won’t be recommending it to any friends or people...
