Zeke's Beans & Bowls
616 Norfolk Ave, Virginia Beach, VA
Crema's Take
“Zeke's Beans & Bowls is a cozy Virginia Beach gem that seamlessly blends fresh-roasted coffee with vibrant poke and açai bowls, making it equally satisfying whether you're grabbing a quick cold brew or settling in for a nourishing meal. The intimate space draws a loyal crowd who keep coming back for generously portioned signature bowls like the Cali and the Brazil, all crafted with noticeably fresh ingredients and backed by genuinely friendly service. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that feels like a treat every time—whether you're a regular treating yourself or a first-timer who'll immediately understand why people return again and again.”

Often poke bowl spot of mine. I only have ever gotten the cali bowl but I will continue getting it time and time again! Great portion for the size small that I usually get. Just wanted to point out the employee from today 3/3/26 at 12:30pm when I went. Didn’t see a name tag but she looked to be maybe 20-24 years old and had shoulder length black curly hair. She was so personable, attentive, helpful, and on it today! Great worker. Got pretty busy around 1pm and she was the only one taking orders and bringing them out. Heard her talking to customers when bringing their food- asking if things looked good, if they needed anything, apologizing for the wait when it had only been maybe 10 minutes since they ordered. Just seems like a reliant worker who really likes their job. Suggestion- get the workers name tags so I could’ve mentioned her name in here! :))
Quaint. Fresh healthy options and excellent service! Tried a couple of smoothies and a chicken bowl, all were fantastic. First time here but not the last
Cozy place, good for a quick bite. Seating inside and out. We tried fresh made coffee and delicious poke bowls. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking lot behind the building as well as street parking along the side. Located on the first floor.
Zeke’s is such a gem in Virginia Beach🌊! I got an acaí bowl and my husband tried the Brazil Bowl. Both were fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. We decided to try a poke bowl for the first time and went with the Bubba Bowl… Wow! It was absolutely delicious, and the rice tasted so fresh. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe of the place is cozy and laid-back. They play great music, have convenient parking, and it’s just an all-around cool spot to hang out and enjoy good food. Highly recommend!!
I normally come here with my brother for a treat every few months, and this last time made my decision of not coming back. I was not too bothered with the wait because it is a smaller establishment but busy since it was by the beachfront/convention center. It went downhill from the order placing, customer service /delivery of food brought out to the table, and the cleanliness of the seating area. My brother got the Blackbean omelet burritto, and I always grab my favorite the spinach salad with Blackened tuna. His food was so so but the temperature could have been warmer with the egg. On the other hand my salad was a big disappointment. I was not given the proper Soy ginger dressing but instead the very salty soy dressing that goes with the Poke/sushi bowls. By the time I realized the differences I had already poured on the dressing and started to eat it at this point I couldn't finish the food due to the high salty taste and I had to drink water for the rest of the evening. My latte drink was watery, no flavor. The girl who brought out the food looked unhappy to be there working and the table we sat had some stickiness to the table top. At this point we just hurried to finish up due to the lack of attention and the busyness of the place there really wasn't time to bring up the error to fix the orders. I will just find elsewhere to treat me and my brother too on the beach next time.
