Ezma's Bread Box Café

Was my first time trying one of their sandwiches after hearing so much about this cafe from a coworker. I had the breadbox blt sandwich and it's probabaly the best cold cut sandwich I've had here in Virginia. I ordered to go but everyone was very welcoming to all customers and friendly as well. Will be back for sure and will recommend to others.

Finally decided today was the day to try this place. Everyone raves about it so I've been wanting to try it for a while. I peeped the menu before I came and settled on the fitness bowl. Well that didn't happen. The smokehouse pizza just sounded so amazing, so I got that instead. It IS amazing. The garlic crust is so good and I like that the ham was fresh sliced ham and not little cubes of ham. I got the small pizza and was only able to eat three pieces. I took the rest home. My friend got the waffles and said they were yummy. Service was great and there were a few other tables of folks eating. We came right when they opened so they didn't have a chance to get crazy busy yet. I can't wait to come back and get more of this pizza out here margherita pizza. They have breakfast pizzas too, but this smokehouse was so good I prob won't stray from it.

My wife has been telling me about Ezma's for several months, and I finally got the chance to visit. I was not disappointed. Ezma's is off the beaten path in a non-descript strip mall, but it apparently has a very loyal clientele as the place filled up rapidly during lunch.Upon entering, I was impressed with the casual air of a Caribbean beach bar and accompanying booths. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even as it got busy, we never felt rushed.My wife was impressed by the omelettes. So was I. They were light, cooked to order, with fresh ingredients. It was one of the best omelettes I've had in Virginia Beach. The accompanying fruit was an abundant serving and very fresh.We also tried the sourdough French toast, which was simple, served with fresh strawberries, and very tasty. A brief comment about a lunch item: During a previous visit, my wife did not care for the stuffed cabbage which was well cooked but too acidic.We were impressed with the breakfast selections. We will return soon to sample more of the lunch menu.Yes, they sell fat loaves of bread in the back!

Ezma's is so cute. I have no idea how I didn't even know this place was here... A friend brought me here for lunch and I absolutely love it! Great, large menu with breakfast all day (always a win), entrees, sandwiches, soups, pizza, you name it. They sell their fresh, house-made bread inside as well as a few other little goodies like cookies and such. Staff are always super friendly when I've been inside and their Chicken salad sandwich and plate is to die for! Omelettes are large and in-charge and full of items and appetizers and entrees look excellent. My husband is going to try the pizza next time. This is the perfect spot for a girl's date or brunch and I highly recommend supporting this small business. House-made delicious chips, breads, and mostly everything else. This is a real hidden gem you can drive right past.

My husband and I visited this restaurant on a night when they started hosting music. Unfortunately, the kitchen was backed up, so it took a longer than expected time to get our food. Since we were not starving, we didn't make a big deal about it. But under normal circumstances, I think we would have been annoyed and might have left. Anyways, while we waited, we got a small bread basket. The bread was freshly baked and quite yummy with a pat of butter. My husband order the Cheeseburger, and I ordered the gyro sandwich. Both sandwiches came on a pita 'bun' with was different for us. Maybe 3 of my homemade chips were crispy. But for the most part, they were all limp. Overall, the ambience was welcoming and the staff were friendly. Our little server barely checked on us. I had to wave her down, but like I said taking in to consideration what was going on that night, I think we will try to visit on a night with no music.

Almost felt like I should turn around when the lady greeted us at the front. Very dry and unwelcoming. However when one of the regulars came in she was very sweet in telling them she would clean their regular table off in the back. The waitress was very sweet best part of the restaurant. Food was decent but portions are small and the value is just really not worth it. Strawberries looked unwashed and bananas were clearly bruised. No kids meals which is usually fine because portions are usually enough to share a little with him but not this time. Maybe we will try back in a few months and see how it goes.

Back in the Spring, Ezma's was profiled on Channel 13 for their Friday Flavor segment. The backstory on how the owner immigrated from Bosnia to live the American dream was just fascinating. Since then, they landed on my Yelp Collection and finally, Sophia and I got the chance to try them out and see if the hype lived up to the billing.We managed to arrive right before they opened up where a small crowd waited for seating, especially a big group from a local church. After getting seated, we went right to ordering. Both of us ordered the blueberry cream cheese breakfast pizza with a side of sausage and coffee. It did take awhile to come out since the bigger party that had more attention that the smaller tables, but I'll tell you this, the wait was truly worth it. The pizza alone is enough for two people so you really don't need any sides at all. Each slice was covered with fresh blueberries, cream cheese and enough whipped cream to cover each. I'll admit I'm not a big fan of blueberries, but this dish here was no problem at all. It was so much that we both had to-go boxes. You'll never go wrong with a full stomach :)This was truly a delight. Great decor, friendliness from the staff and great food. What more can you ask for? Definitely will be a repeat. Till next time :)

I had high hopes for this restaurant because the was featured in the news. To say the least, I was disappointed. My meal was $50 for an egg, 1/4 can "corned beef" hash, a sandwich, defrosted focaccia, a few ketchup packets, and dessert. This breakfast special was $15.00... when I opened this up at home I literally thought I got the wrong order because this can't be possible. The service was very kind though but something is not right in the kitchen. Update: I just found other leftover pieces of potato at the bottom of my order???

First off, the customer service here is excellent. The food comes in decent portions, with a wide menu of items to choose from. There is a nice, relaxed ambiance that just makes you feel at home.

I went with a group to the bread box while attending a conference in Virginia Beach. We had 45 minutes break during the conference to eat. While the staff was able to seat our group of 9 all together and quickly took our drink orders, that's where the positive interaction ended. The staff never came back to take our food orders. We waited 25 minute. Two different people went to let staff know we were ready. Eventually we had to leave and settle for fast food in order to make it back to our conference on time. Very disappointing for an establishment that had such good reviews!
