Coalescence Coffee

Location: Coalescence is a great coffee shop located in the Ghent area of Norfolk. This is close to major hospitals and EVMS. Vibes:This coffee shop takes the cake for best lighting. There's so many windows in the building that give it this bright open space. Which is great for people who like a little sunlight when they're doing some studying or work. There's plenty of tables and space to work. There's even an updated play area for kids to entertain themselves while parents chat with a coffee. Food:They do have sandwich's aside from their coffee. Today I tried the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. In my opinion it was the most delicious sandwich I've had at a coffee shop. It was juicy, warm, and savory. It hit all my checkmarks. For a drink I ordered a seasonal coffee called the ginger bread latte. I like my coffee on the sweet side. This didn't deliver quite as well. However, I've been here before and know there are plenty of great drinks. Overall:This coffee shop checks all the boxes. Plenty of space to work, kids area, and great food and beverages.

My hot latte was barely warm. The flavor of the beans I didn't think was anything to write home about. I liked the latte art, instagram photography, the modern atmosphere, and the service (how they offered to bring the coffee to where I was seated), but for the coffee itself, I'm not seeing how they have a 4.7. I should have complained about the temperature but just wasn't in the mood, nor did I want to emphasize that I wanted it hot when ordering because that seems insulting and can change how they do it if it's done right normally. I understand that coffee is not supposed to be boiling (195°F to 205°F // 90°C to 96°C), but there's a big difference between boiling and bathwater - I just don't think the milk was heated up enough.

Hands down best coffee place in the Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Pourtmouth area. Workers are very nice and coffee is next level. 10/10

Next time I'm in the area, I'm for sure stopping by here again! The staff was so friendly and there was plenty of space to sit and sip our drinks while enjoying the vibes of the spacious cafe. I was especially impressed by the diversity of the space - people all around were studying, working, chatting, and there was even a private party happening in a different room. I tried the rose latte (I'm more into sweet drinks, which there weren't a lot of options for) and it was the perfect balance of sweetness, coffee, and fragrant rose flavor that felt very authentic. My only regret is that I didn't get to try the incredibly delicious-looking baked goods like the cookie butter muffin!

I've visited Coalescence Coffee several times, and it's always a great experience. While the shop doesn't have a parking lot, street parking is usually available, though it can be a bit tricky to find a spot right in front.The shop itself is spacious with various rooms and seating arrangements, so you're likely to find a spot even if you prefer some privacy. They offer a fantastic selection of specialty coffees alongside classic options. I haven't tried the food myself, but it looks delicious and many customers seem to enjoy it.Whether you're catching up with a friend or working, Coalescence Coffee is a great place to visit. The modern, picturesque setting makes it a standout stop on any coffee tour.

Talk about a cool place. The inside of this place is absolutely beautiful. I went with a group of people we were doing a Saturday morning coffee crawl and walk. This place was on our list of places to go. So glad I went such an open space great for a large group to meet. Watching them make your order was like watching a scientist or chemist. I was tossed on whether or not to order a cold brew coffee or try something new It was suggested that I try the Churchill cold, and boy was it deliciousI am excited to go back. They offer classes every Saturday on coffee. I have to try the class. Any excuse to go back and try they even offer food they have a large room that they rent out which would be great for small gathering or a party.If you are a coffee lover, and want to experience a different kind of coffee experience, this place is a must go.

Very cool and hip place in town for coffee! They have street parking options in the vicinity. It's a huge coffee shop with plenty of seating. They have a conference room as well for meetings. The energy and vibe was really great here. The drinks are unique . They offer miel coffee. It's bitter and needs some getting used to. It's very clean in here and it gets plenty of natural lighting. They also sell merchandise which were cool to look at.

Saturday 1020am dine in visit w wifey, 3.5 overall. Ran out of biscuits right when we got to register. Vanilla latte, black coffee, and breakfast sandwich $18 before tip. Sandwich dropped/finished before wife got her latte, not great; served in to go cup wo any "sorry for the delay." Fend for yourself on street parking.

Nice place. Espresso mango was good. It was iced. My cappuccino was nice and smooth. We split a blueberry bagel. It was served with cream cheese. It was all good. Nice roomy place. Looks like an old fir station. Outside is black.

Amazing spot to study and/or relax!!!Their coffee is great and they have a great variety to choose from. The baristas knew it was my first time here and they were very patient with me and explained what was on their menu, which drinks they're known for and what their recommendations were.I've been looking for a nice coffee spot to do some studying and I believe I found it! Super calm environment - calming music all around and it's not too loud and obnoxious. Everyone else in the room is studying/working too so they're pretty considerate of the environment as well. It's a spacious cafe and they even have an event room that you can reserve if you want.Be warned though, parking is atrocious (not their fault of course). Good luck trying to find street parking nearby but I'd say it's definitely worth it.
