Crema's Take

Tucked in Virginia Beach, this espresso-focused spot blends serious coffee craftsmanship with an unexpectedly fun, laid-back vibe complete with a ping pong table and a full breakfast menu that locals rave about. The baristas really know their craft, offering both traditional espresso drinks and creative specialty beverages in a welcoming atmosphere that feels just as good for a solo coffee session as it does for lingering with friends. It's the kind of place where excellent service and genuine community vibes make you want to stick around way longer than you planned.

Really good food! Great atmosphere and customer service. There is a ping pong table customers can play a game or two while waiting for their order.

This is accomplishment was recommended to me by a friend who recently moved to town and she said they have an excellent selection. They have a great assortment of coffee and espresso, smoothies, frappe’s and non-caffeinated drinks. They have burritos and sandwiches that are served all day And smaller bakery items for sale upfront. They also have a mini storefront area with merch, coffee beans, mugs, and other vacation souvenirs. There is ample seating outside some of it is covered and there are plenty of picture taking opportunities here there is a side parking lot and street parking available. There is also a ramp out front for wheelchair accessibility.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Java Surf Café & Espresso Bar is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the laid-back beachy vibe and cozy ambiance make you feel right at home. There’s a great mix of indoor and outdoor seating, perfect whether you're meeting a friend, doing some work, or just relaxing with a great cup of coffee. They even have a few ping pong tables available, which adds a really fun and unique touch to the atmosphere. I tried the S’mores Latte and the Coconut Blondie Latte—both were incredible! The S’mores Latte had that perfect balance of chocolate and toasted marshmallow flavor, and the Coconut Blondie was smooth, sweet, and rich without being overpowering. Easily some of the best specialty coffee drinks I’ve had in a while. We also had fresh bagels with cream cheese, and you could really tell everything was made with care. The bagels were soft and fresh, and the homemade cream cheese was flavorful and creamy—so much better than anything store-bought. Overall, Java Surf delivers on all fronts: great drinks, fresh food, fun atmosphere, and a welcoming space. Highly recommend this spot for locals and visitors alike!

Charming cafe. Interesting too as they have a ping pong table and merchandise section in the middle of the dining area. Service was friendly. I ordered their Mexi Melt, a recommendation from the staff. I’d love to give it higher than a 3 stars but I couldn’t ignore that the cream cheese on the everything bagel was half inch thick, making it too rich. Then with the guacamole and the very generous melted cheese just made it over the top. Sometimes you can have too much of good things. The turkey sausage was not a whole piece but just slices not enough to cover the surface of the bagel, making the proportion of dairy/fatty to protein to carbs disproportionate.

We visited this locally owned eating establishments while on vacation for breakfast one morning because it was walking distance from our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere this place offered, the deliciousness of their food, you can tell that care is taken while preparing the food and coffee. We met some really nice locals who told us all of the best places to eat and visit in Virginia Beach, which we were very grateful for. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and we were able to have leftovers for a snack later. There is an outside seating area that is covered as well as an additional outside seating area that is not covered. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked the patrons as well as the staff were extremely friendly. The ping pong table was a neat addition to both the inside searing area and the outside seating area. The prices were fair. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent tasting food and beverages. Easy walkability to the beach and hotels.
