The Almeta

We stayed at the attached hotel and the Almeta offers a small complimentary breakfast to hotel guests (fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, granola, cereal, orange juice & coffee). We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast as well as ordering some extras! The cashiers are so kind and really made your morning! I got the smoothie bowl on day 1 and really loved that it was on a bigger bowl so the ratio of smoothie to toppings were better! The next day I got avocado toast in sour dough and added bacon! We also got iced coffees every day, my favorite was the honey lavender! They have tables for couples and families as well as a very cute bar seating by the window. We enjoyed the convenience of this breakfast spot but I did think it was a tad pricey.

The food is not great. My mom had the Cibata sandwhich and I had a bagel. Bread was tasty, but the "egg," gross. It's not real egg, just a yellow brick vaguely resembling an egg. Do not recommend. Coffee was good though

The ambiance is wonderful, several seating areas, comfy chairs, reg tables and bar seats. I ordered. Cortado and an espresso. The glassware they used is very nice and appropriate for the drinks. Did not try any of the food. The espresso was way too dark (it tasted burnt), not my taste. The service was okay, not exceptional. I noted that the girl who helped me took a break from cleaning the floor to take my order and make my drink, she did not wash her hands first. Food handling no-no.

I've tried to go here so many times. Confirmed with staff that it would be open the following day. Dragged my kids out. It's just never open ‍

The owners of Sawdust Road in Pungo and Battlegrounds in Great Bridge announced their opening of another sister coffee shop/cafe on the Eastern shore - The Almeta. I've been huge fans of both for a long time, of course I had to pay the new place a visit when I was in the area.The service was polite, but not overly friendly. They had several options on the menu for both food and drink. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich and the orange hibiscus drink. The sandwich was pretty good! Not the best chicken salad I've had, but good enough to satisfy my empty stomach after a bike ride. The drink was perfectly refreshing!I would go back if it were convenient, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

The salted honey latte was sooooo good. We also got the breakfast bowl and the avocado toast with pickled onions and tajin. The atmosphere is great and the food and coffee even better. High recommend.

I will be dreaming of this coffee until our next trip to Cape Charles! It was so good! I got the coconut mocha and my husband got the blackberry bramble latte. We both agreed it was one of the best cups of coffee we've had... and that's really saying something as we are big coffee people! We also got the 'house Becky'- bacon, egg, and cheese bagels. Very good! I'm a big fan of the chipotle aioli they put on it.

Loved the breakfast burrito and iced americano. The staff was super friendly, definitely coming back!

Me and my girlfriends came here after we discovered that the coffee house was closed for the day. We were skeptical after visiting once and how expensive it was but decided to give it another try, and I wish we hadn't. One of my girlies had a hair in her food, and when it came out the second time it was not made the same as the first time. The bacon was frail, skimpy, and did not even taste good, not worth the extra $2. We got Nutella toast ($9), only one piece. Same with the avocado toast which was $11, you are not getting your moneys worth when you come here, and you have to buss your own table which i usually wouldn't complain but when it's this expensive I don't think that should be a requirement. Would not recommend and it's sad to say this because I'm a local and always looking for some good breakfast. I will say their coffee was not bad.

Negative stars need to be a thing. Never ate any food. It didn't look good. The service was terrible. The lady at the counter short girl with brown hair (bowl cut bangs) wire rimmed glasses, was very curt. I handed her a $10 bill. For a 3.50 cup of coffee. She handed me a dollar and 50 cents back. When I told her I handed her a 10 she snapped back that it was only a five. I said no ma'am. It was a 10. She said sorry it was a five. I asked her to check her drawer. She huffed and jerked the drawer open which was under the counter out of sight. She said nope I only have one ten here and it was already here when I opened. I'm at a point where it's not worth the hassle to deal with people like this. It's 7.50 lost. But beware. I'd look elsewhere.
