Astraea Coffee

I love me some coffee. In all ways. I will take it how I can get it and when I travel, I always look for a cute coffee shop to try. Astraea Coffee isn't new - it's been a place I've been dying to try for a while but just haven't been able to sneak over for one reason or another. I like the location because I like the Princess Anne Courthouse area of town. I liked it even more when Their parking lot is small and I must've shown up during a really busy lunch rush bc there was absolutely no parking and their lot is small so I had to back out at an angle... but, it's right beside a local park with tons of parking and you can easily park and walk over, which is what I did so crisis averted, I'm back on track! Inside is cute with various rooms and mismatched furniture. I was really impressed with the menu with loads of wraps and salads and smoothies as well as breakfast foods and an açaí bowl and such. Large menu.In the end, I went with a chicken Ceasar wrap and iced oat milk latte. The latte was really really good. The wrap was out very quickly and a huge portion size. The gals working behind the counter was also super nice.I plan to come back when it's warmer and enjoy a walk around the park and lunch. Great first experience.

I recently stopped by and decided to try their Butterbeer Latte, and it did not disappoint. The combination of brown sugar, vanilla, and the deliciously creamy cold foam was perfection. I opted for almond milk instead of whole, and the drink was still rich and flavorful! A little sweet, but doable. The interior of Astraea is bright, clean, and perfect for getting work done. I brought my laptop and ended up staying for a few hours. The atmosphere is incredibly remote work-friendly, with plenty of seating and outlets. Plus, their playlist was a total vibe--just the right mix of upbeat and chill to keep me focused.I also have to shout out the staff, who were super helpful and patient as I tried to decide what to order. I'm pretty indecisive, but they helped me through the menu with a smile and made me feel welcomeWhether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in to get some work done, I highly recommend.

I've been here twice now and definitely recommend if you want a smoothie or a chill place to catch up with a pal. Their smoothies are delicious, which came as kind of a surprise, honestly. The Law Abiding is great! Astraea is a spot to work only on days you don't have meetings and need to be on the phone. The music is super loud and even with noise-cancelling buds in, doesn't really allow for conversations. I also tried the Thai wrap which was just ok. There needs to be more peanut sauce and flavor. They have cute swings and patio seating, though all of it could use a refinish to look a bit more inviting. The service here is decent. I appreciate that you are at least greeted when you walk up to the counter. Most baristas nowadays don't even give you the time of day. There is a suuuuuper tiny upstairs with some kid friendly areas if you've got the young ones.

Take my review for what it's worth, based on a one time visit. The establishment definitely has charm and is cozy. It was busy and crowded on a torrential downpour of a Saturday. We met up with friends and family and were able to occupy a corner table on the first floor. It can get noisy quickly. I'm sure we added to that noise.I had a bagel with cream cheese and the bare arms sans the spinach. Both the bagel & the bare arms smoothie, were unremarkable. My husband had the chai latte which he enjoyed and we shared an oreo mint brownie. The brownie was delicious but we were given the smallest piece. I must not have seen that small piece in the case hidden behind the massive pieces displayed in the front. Hence, the disappointment when it was handed to us. I would have requested a different piece had I paid attention. While this coffee house may check off all the boxes for others, unfortunately it didn't for me. (Which is ok, not every place will be for everyone.) It is a great place though to catch up with friends and be in a comfortable, cozy kind of loud environment. As well as convenient for those who work at the courthouse nearby. It's located next to the Whitehurst-Buffington house. Their small lot to the left when entering is next to the more ample parking lot of the West Neck Creek Nature area.

Every time I am in the area, I make it a point to pop in for a quick pick-me-up! This is such a cute coffee shop! Located in a renovated cottage, it feels like you're walking into a friend's home and it's always so comforting to me and super cozy. - Parking -Private lot in the back of the cottage with limited spaces, but spillover parking can be found further down the street. Parking is in the back. - Vibe -The cottage has two floors. Bottom floor has 2 sections for you to sit in. When you first walk in is the foyer/fireplace with a few options for seating, by the bar by the window, a table or a one seater by the fireplace.To the right of the front door is another room with 3 tables,If you walk past the fireplace, you'll find the order counter and where the kitchen is. Upstairs, you'll find a couch and a play area and in the very back, you'll find another more quaint and semi-private room with a few more tables. My fave seat in the house is the table at the top center window. It's so cozy and they've even equipped it with a blanket!Outside, you will find super cute photo ops all over the place. There's even a "LOVE" sign, made of pallets! - Sips and Noms - They carry baked goods from various local vendors. You can find doughnuts, cookies, brownies and today, I found a new baked item, the scones! These are GIGANTIC, and looked like it was baked in a pie dish (it had the form at the bottom). The texture was a bit off for me, so I think I'll stick to the other goodies. As far as drinks go, I've enjoyed the Double Jeopardy latte (my go-to) and hot chocolate. Both great! They also carry handmade goods from local artisans! Love that! Just go out there and hang. Such a great space to work or just meet up with friends. And lastly, but not least, the service is on par with the vibe! The baristas are always so friendly and truly give off the friend vibe. I already feel like I am walking into a friend's home, and they treat you as such! Enjoy, Friends and never stop exploring!

I ordered the White Christmas Latte which is a seasonal menu item! My mom and I both shared a Lox bagel. Both items were delicious and truly made with love. We were welcomed with a warm presence from the staff and an open dining area.

A great source for a coffee lunch with a veggie wrap, bagel, or something sweet to brighten your day. This shop has ample interior seating with two levels, bar seating, and porch chairs. They have a variety of alternative milk options from oat almond to 2%. They have a small curated merch collection from stickers, shirts, handmade jewelry, & coffee to go. They have a smell bakery car with gluten free treats. I ordered a veggie wrap that was packed with hummus, fresh spinach, julienned carrots, red onions, and an option to add bacon. The flavor was robust with the added vinegarette dressing. The coconut chai with oatmilk was delicious and filling. Come to check out the cozy vibes and relax with the calm music while completing your studies. There is ample parking behind the shop.

I love visiting Astraea! There is a certain charm about the area around the end of Holland Road, and along Princess Anne. The coffeeshop is built out of an old house, and as soon as you enter the door you feel that charm. I always take family here for a cup in the morning when they visit. They have SUPER YUMMY coffee and food options. They always *pack* their bagels with toppings, their overnight oats are the perfect healthy breakfast (they're delicious), their wraps are great and super yummy too. The attendants serving the counter are always friendly and chipper, the service is great! They offer great recommendations if you dont know what to get. Definitely check this place out!

Astraea Coffee is a cozy haven with a homey feel and live music, perfect for enjoying coffee with friends and family. It's kid-friendly, has plenty of Instagrammable spots, and offers quick service.

The coffee, food, atmosphere is all AMAZING! I've driven by this place so many times and never gone in until today. I'll never drive past and not stop in again. And it's affordable. Exactly the vibe you want from a cozy coffee shop.
