Borjo Coffeehouse

Cute coffeeshop in the heart of ODU. I was in the area during my lunch break and decided to give a new coffee shop a try, and Yelp led me to this place. When I walked in, I was greeted right away. When I approached the counter to order, I did what I normally do when trying a new place, I asked the employees what they recommended, and they were happy to share their favorite drinks choices with me. I decided to try the Apple Jack Chai, which was one of the drink specials. Their drink sizes to me seem smaller than the average coffee shop, but I am ok with that because I feel like our portion sizes are crazy anyway, lol. When I received my drink, I loved that they gave it to me with the top off so I could see what I was getting. I took one sip, and I was like, "This is good," Then I took another sip, and I said "wow this is really good." It wasn't overly sweet, and all the flavors that you love in a chai (cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc) were all perfectly balanced and played very well with the apple flavor. As I was driving back to work, I only had one regret.....I honestly wished I ordered a medium, it was that good. I will defienly be returning to Borjo Coffeehouse again to try some more of their drinks.

Borjo was great! One of the best iced coffees I've had in Norfolk! It is on ODUs campus so all parking is paid, though I didn't have an issue finding a spot. The vibes weren't necessarily super cozy but it also felt very optimized for students studying. Definitely a place I'll consider going back to!

Good coffee! I like how they have a unique menu, I love getting fun coffee flavors. I did an ube latte, added espresso. The espresso overtook the ube so I really couldn't taste it. Next time I would make the drink sweet/add extra ube! Quick and friendly service, clean, nice relaxing atmosphere.

The all new Borjo's reopened two weeks ago under new management. They even put the original sign back up. They remain locally owned. The place has the exact feel of before with similar coffee, sandwich and desert offerings. Nice counter service today for an express on the go which was tasty.

I used to come here when I was a student at ODU back from 2008-2011. It has since closed down and reopened with new ownership. It's a new vibe, and not totally the same as the old Borjo, but still a place I would love to come sit & chill at regularly.My girlfriend and I went to ODU for some homecoming festivities, so we started our day off here. The service was great, but incredibly slow. We ordered a latte & two breakfast sandwiches, and it took over 20 min, but all were delicious.Definitely come and visit it- you won't be disappointed.

This cute little cafe is located right on ODU's campus and had the perfect ambiance. They play lo-fi instrumental music perfect for a study date or if you just need to relax. The service was speedy quick and the cashier was super attentive to any questions I had. I ended up opting for the maple brown sugar latte which is one of their drink specials right now. The latte was smooth, rich and just the perfect amount of sweetness. An overall balanced cup of joe that I would definitely repurchase. They offer a 10% student discount which was a plus for me :) Also offered are pastries and breakfast dishes which I will definitely have to come back to try. Their prices compared to your typical Starbucks are significantly lower which is another plus. Definitely will be back!

When you need a nosh or a drink, this is a solid option for the area. Decent food for the price. The employees are nice, but the cafe really lacks customer accommodations for substitutions such as size or swapping out breads.

The first time I came, I enjoyed myself and the drink was delicious. The second time was not as enjoyable. The drink had an overpowering amount of ginger and my experience with the staff was not pleasant. The young lady serving me was unwarrantedly nice-nasty. The ambiance of the place is nice. I'll give it that.

I haven't been here in over a year, and the last time I was here was for a job interview that I didn't get (sad I know, but that's life). I didn't really get to try much of the menu back then and I haven't had the opportunity to come back since.First, I'm glad I came after 5pm this time because I was able to find parking right in front of the shop (luckily because it got full by the time I left) so there's the /little/ window of opportunity for you to find front row parking.Second, their Mocha Java milkshake is SO THICK and yet SO GOOD that you really shouldn't drink it on a full stomach. Don't do that or you'll feel full really fast. It's so good and I'll definitely have to try their other milkshakes and iced drinks on the menu.Third, the baristas are so sweet and helpful and fun to talk with. They know how to do their jobs, and are so professional and make you feel like you want to come back. I appreciate that and that's one of the main factors in me frequenting a business. So major kudos for that. The space is big enough that you can accommodate a group meeting like there was today, and yet still cozy enough that you don't feel like you're being drowned out in the din of noise.I like that they are open until 7pm, and not that far from my work, so the next time I want to get some work done in between commuting home, I'll definitely make my way down there for some work and drinks. Go check it out if you haven't already! And they are partners with Taste I believe? And I love Taste so that's another bonus.

As a college student, I prefer to spend my money at a small business that serves quality drinks and food. The service is great, online ordering works out well, and everything comes out very quickly. It's a great place to sit and study or read or chat with others. As someone who's been to many cafes that have an uncomfortable vibe, I can confidently recommend this cafe. For those who like details: it can be a bit warm inside, but they have outside seating. You should wait near the counter for your drink, but if you order food they will bring it to you :) The bathrooms are nice and single person. Typically they play music and usually people will be talking to others inside, so it could be a bit too loud if you like quiet spaces.
