Elliot's Fair Grounds - Norfolk

This place is excellent! The people who work there are friendly, the coffee is awesome and the food is goo!

This is a REAL coffee shop! Not like that fake substitue accross the street (starbucks). I 've been to coffee shops all over the country and this is a very good one. If you like good coffee, charming atmosphere, good pastries and sandwiches, and fair prices... this is your place. If you like coffee flavored drinks or inferior coffee beans sold at 'good stuff ' prices, then starbucks is accross the street for you!

Anti-everything. One of the places that wants you to spend $20 or something to use a debit card. Annoying. Also, I overheard the baristas saying that they were paid on the waitress scale don 't know if it was a ploy to get tips or what) but if that is true, that is absurd $2.45 an hour I think). <br/ <br/ This can be a nice alternative to Starbucks or just another 'we hate everything corporate ' place that owes their existence to the aforementioned behemoth. Depends on who is making your drinks.

Great coffee, excellent atmosphere!. I love this place! It's become a bit of a home-away-from-home for me and my son. The people who work there are fantastic, and the coffee is the best you'll find in Norfolk. When I first moved here, I tried every coffeehouse in the city, and so far, none compare!

Hit and miss. I love independent or smaller coffee joints. This place is very cool and eclectic. The adjoining store downstairs (Texture) has very unique items. <br/ <br/ The hit and miss comes in on the coffee side. I will say it is more hit than miss but when they miss they miss big. a few time we have gotten bad lattes but this place is still worth a visit. Plus they have punch cards. Gotta love a place with punch cards!
