Kobros Coffee
2406 Colonial Ave, Norfolk, VA
Crema's Take
“Run by identical twin brothers who pour genuine passion into every cup, Kobros crafts espresso-focused drinks with artistic flair and creative signatures like their housemade vanilla shaken espresso that have people driving across the city just to visit. The laid-back, welcoming vibe here feels earned rather than performed—baristas will chat coffee, music, and sports with equal enthusiasm, and the ample parking plus laptop-friendly setup make it easy to linger over drinks made with real care. Whether you're after their expertly pulled espresso or adventurous offerings like miso caramel lattes, you'll find the kind of specialty coffee shop that becomes a destination.”

You need to come here. This is a laid back establishment. Positive vibes, fresh roasted coffee beans made into the nectar of the coffee gods. Each drink is crafted with love. 5 stars isn’t enough.
Ample parking! Top tier customer service! Tried a cold brew and a miso caramel latte both were super tasty. These kids will chat coffee as well as music and sports. If yer into craft coffee def a MUST TRY!
My experience at Kobros was okay. I asked for a drink that represented Kobros. They suggested their housemade Vanilla. So I ordered a shaken espresso with no ice. I received a shaken espresso with ice and hardly any flavor. Perhaps it's just an off day. They seemed very friendly. I might come back.
Kobros Coffee is the type of shop that you drive across the city to get to because of the quality of the drinks and the artistic vibe. The owners are identical twin brothers and they work so hard to produce great drinks and create genuine community. Craft lattes are excellent, bagged coffee is great (different roast most weeks and can be shipped anywhere). You have to experience their annual Blue Lips and Drip into the Atlantic it’s wild. Best coffee shop in Norfolk for sure. Updating my review to add that the pistachio toast in the Merry Widow popup was fantastic and definitely brought the SF Trouble Coffee vibe to the east coast! The vibe at Kobros can’t be beat.
We were so happy to find Kobros coffee shop while on vacation in Virinia beach! It’s run by twin brothers, and you can instantly feel the warmth and passion they put into everything. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee. Bonus, it is a dog friendly place. The coffee itself was so good, that we had to instatly buy their beans to take home with us. They take the time to chat with customers, and make you feel like part of the family. If we would leave in the area it would definitely be our go to coffee spot.
