JoJack's Espresso Bar & Cafe
5700 Churchland Blvd, Norfolk, VA
Crema's Take
“JoJack's is a Norfolk gem where the owners actually know your name and care about getting your order right, crafting thoughtful breakfast dishes like herb and sausage pancakes and creative bowls (mushroom spinach over grits, anyone?) that match the quality of their standout espresso drinks. The team here—Jordan, Jo, and crew—bring genuine warmth to every interaction, staying patient and knowledgeable even when things get hectic, which keeps regulars coming back for both the food and the feeling of being welcomed. This is the kind of independent spot where they'll happily work with you on substitutions and make you feel like a regular on your first visit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

If i could give this place a 20/10 i would. Absolutely phenomenal food (i ordered the fresh herb and sausage pancakes and a purple haze latte). Everything was the perfect proportions and everyone that worked there was so kind. They did take a little while to bring out my food…

I am always looking for great food spots in Portsmouth. I passed this spot and decided to look up their menu. I saw several items on their breakfast menu that I wanted to try. We went on a Sunday at 10am. It's a small dining area but there were a few open tables. You seat…
I tried their mushroom, spinach book over grits with avocado, and a poached egg with a scone. Was craving something different , and they definitely delivered. Everything was absolutely delicious if you're a fan of the ingredients, which are my favorites. Hidden gem worth…
