Best coffee shops in Norfolk

Our guide to specialty coffee in Norfolk: 6 verified shops, including Cafe Stella, Kobros Coffee and Neptune's Fury Coffee Co.. Norfolk's coffee runs deep, from a roaster that has been firing beans since 1918 to a cluster of newer cafes roasting their own in Ghent and downtown. Between the Ghent side streets and the Elizabeth River waterfront, you can find house-roasted espresso, single-origin pour-overs, and twin brothers pulling a new signature drink every week.
