Belvedere Coffee Shop & Diner

I don't have a lot of positive comments about the Moxy, but the diner/breakfast spot off to the side of their lobby is a definite plus. This was a last-minute stop on my way out this past Wednesday morning in the 7am hour. The Moxy is a party hotel, essentially, so I wasn't too surprised to find myself the only customer of the establishment when I wandered in. There were two women manning the fort, who were both very nice and told me to sit anywhere; I chose a comfortable booth and began reviewing the menu. Pretty standard stuff here; lots of omelet and pancake options, etc. I got a little frisky and ordered the Cinnamon Apple Pancakes off the seasonal specials menu, along with some scrambled eggs and toast (got to get the sweet and savory in). The pancakes were really good; they're doing something right with those. My only minor nitpick was that because you're cooking the cinnamon into the batter, it burns on the bottom and you end up with a few pieces of tough stickiness, if that makes sense - my primary gripe with homemade cinnamon rolls as well. Still overall a recommend. I was probably too full to order everything that I did, but the eggs were also very decent; on the damp side, which is my preference, and didn't need any seasoning, which is rare for me. The service was excellent; given that I was the only person in there it would have been pretty egregious if it wasn't, but everyone was attentive and kept the coffee flowing. My food showed up within a few minutes and I was in and out quickly, which was great since I was on a grown-up business trip and accordingly on a schedule. No issues here at all. If you're not a guest at the Moxy I imagine this place is a bit under the radar, especially since it's not right on the main drag (it's only accessible I think through the Moxy lobby and/or a subtle side entrance). Especially in November, it's hard to find decent spots that are still open - if you're seeking sustenance right around sunrise, you could do a lot worse than this.

Christie is the absolute best! The food is great and the price varies from $9-$15 per meal. Portions are large and cooked to perfection. Atmosphere is a 50s diner vibe with a modern twist. As long as Christie is here, this is where I will be for breakfast!

Stopped in to support the owner of the well known "Ray Rays". Good classic Americana stayled dinner which is small and quaint. Staff was pleasant and served up some great coffee. Ordered up the following: -Cream chipped beef over toast w/ two eggs over easy -Eggs, pancake and Ham Got the orders but bacon came instead of ham.. One grill chef doing his best. Creamed chipped beef was spot on, pancakes had great flavor buy were a bit thick. Batter may have needed a bit more water. Wait time took a bit, but enjoyed a second coffee. Single chef was doing all he could. I would request that the original "Loco Moco" be added to the menu! 4****

Only had breakfast but I wish I stayed here. Beautiful property, amazing lobby, right on the ocean but has a pool on site. Breakfast service was great - greeted by the cook upon entry and taken care of by wait staff, the food was served quickly and was exactly as ordered. Clean and well-lighted, the restaurant is long and offers a view onto the street and out to the ocean.

Visited VA Beach the 1st week of April. The entire week I just wanted a hearty breakfast, not some hotel bagels, waffles and cereal. Halfway through my week, I had to try something. After searching the strip, I decided to send my daughter over to Moxy to try out Belvedere (To Go). This was the best breakfast we had our entire week on the beach. The food was prepared just as ordered. In the pic is the breakfast bowl I had. The grits were a side order, but I dumped it into the box with the bowl. This bowl was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned really well; even the cheese grits was tasty. My daughter had the French toast, also with a side of grits (pictured as well). Scrambled eggs and sausage. Everything tasted phenomenal and the prices are extremely reasonable for the amount of food you receive. Check out the menu for the specifics and stop in if you just want a nice hearty breakfast. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely make this my go to spot whenever I visit VA Beach.

Excellent diner. We had breakfast here both mornings we stayed in town. Christine was great. Helping serve and cook so she was very busy but she still made sure we were taken care of.

Visited this restaurant for a quick breakfast. Good food, except the fact that they do not serve any espresso based drinks such as Cappuccino, Latte, etc.

This was a great hidden gem. By far, the cleanest restaurant in the Virginia Beach area. AND the staff was terrific, AND the food was fantastic. Really great breakfast made fresh to order. I loved the French toast, eggs, and sausages. The grits were perfect, too!

Found this spot while we were in town for a few days and it's a must for breakfast! The servers are sweet as can be as well as cooks behind the counter. The food was great and the coffee was delicious as well, which for me is a huge plus! They have a variety of creamers where as most diners have just cream as an option. It gives old school diner vibes with the layout and furniture. We came back again the next day for some to-go food before heading home and it did not disappoint.

I'd actually say 3.5. Very classic diner vibe. Bright, clean, airy interior with the blue and white decor. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly and efficient, which we appreciated. Pancakes: a solid, dependable, classic item. No frills at all here and that's just what I wanted. These aren't insta worthy super fluffy but they are tender and satisfying. Western omelette: hubby's verdict was "good". Filled with veggies and bacon and eggs cooked through. Nothing special but nothing bad, just classic diner fare done well. Hash browns: not great. Too oily and not fluffy enough; definitely an aftertaste from Being cooked on a griddle with meat so if you are a strict vegetarian I'd skip these. Overall it's just... a good diner. Not great, but not at all bad and a decent spot to grab a filling breakfast on the beach.

The Belvedere is a classic Virginia Beach diner that's been refreshed and now shares space with the Moxy Hotel. It keeps the charm of an old favorite with its simple menu, fast service, and timeless diner décor. The food comes out hot and satisfying, and the prices are very reasonable--especially for an oceanfront location. A great spot for a no-frills, tasty meal with a bit of history and character.

I didn't go in for much, just a simple breakfast snack. I ordered grits and coffee. The grits were amazing. They were real, tasty grits. Nothing instant. The coffee was refreshing. The staff members were kind and ensured I was taken care of. The atmosphere was quite family friendly and the location is adjacent to the ocean.

Food was great, especially the cinnamon pancakes with baked apple special. Good service too.

If you have been to the previous iconic Belvedere Coffee shop that was located where the Hyatt Place now sits you become nostalgic. New owners painstakingly recreated the 1960's shop and did a fantastic job recreating the vibe. The new location is in the Moxie Hotel further South. They have their own entrance. Parking is easiest by hotel valet, but off season easy to locate options. On season more challenging for pay lots, but it's just across the street and convenient. I have fond memories of the old place and even though they made every attempt to recreate it's still a miss without the beach view. They elected to not position the shop a few hundred feet back which would have been ideal. Anyone that knows the Belvedere will tell you their signature is the Eye Opener sandwich which I did get. Orders are by counter only, no wait staff unless this has changed. The young employees that helped were energetic and friendly. Food came out in about 10 minutes and was delivered to my retro style blue booth. The visual looked great and tasted fantastic! The Eye Opener consist of an onion roll, tomato, fried egg and choice of ham or bacon. If you're looking for a diner style atmosphere come to the Belvedere Coffee Shop. I hope to return soon.

I visit Virginia Beach with my wife every other year for her conference, and we always find time to stop in our hometown. One of the highlights for me is breakfast at the Belvedere. It's been a staple for as long as I can remember and remains one of my favorites. Although it's no longer in the old hotel and has moved closer to the Moxy, the quality and service have stayed the same. It retains that old-fashioned charm and a touch of nostalgia that takes me back to my childhood. Excellent service, excellent food, highly recommended.

Sunday 9/7/25 was my first time at this cafe. I have had it on my list for awhile now. Upon entering we waited to be seated and after like 5-10 minutes Brook approached us and welcome us with a smile and also let us know that there was a 25-30 minute wait after ordering food and that we had 1 party ahead of us but we were escorted to the Moxy hotel lounge area to sit and wait . We were ok on the waiting the music was awesome and the ambiance relaxing. After like maybe 30 minutes I noticed a party came in and just sat at the booth we were waiting for but Brook came to us quickly and apologize and found us another booth. Once we were seated the whole ambiance went down hill , We were seated and the waitress that was tending the tables (Hanna) was too busy chatting it up with a couple towards the front of the cafe and finally about almost 10 minutes came to introduce herself and ask if we would like some water and drinks. We ordered our drinks and waited to place our order, upon her return we placed our order we ordered two western omelette's with hash browns one order of rye toast and one order of wheat toast , we both received regular white toast although it was not our order, needless to say any restaurant we go to and order a western omelette the ingredients are onions, peppers, diced ham , and cheese , this omelette had no cheese , no diced ham and had onions , peppers , diced bacon, and dice tomato's , the waitress did not communicate to us that they were out of hash browns and took upon herself to bring us tater tot's instead of letting us know so we could choose between tots , fries or grits , my grandson ordered a patty melt which was delish but the fries were u see cooked , Hanna came to our table after we placed the order to ask again what my grandson had ordered. I am not sure if yesterday was an off day but it was not an omg experience for sure , and although being friendly and communicating with your customers is very important it should be the same straight down the board, because after we waited almost 35+ minutes to sit down the service after that was not a wow moment. Over all Brook 10/10, Hanna 2/10 , food 3/10,. Like I always say when doing my reviews this was just my experience and your experience may be different as well as your taste buds. It's a cute and quaint establishment so go check it out for yourself but for me I am good

This was a great hidden gem. By far the cleanest restaurant anywhere in the Virginia Beach area. AND the staff was terrific AND the food was fantastic. Really great breakfast made fresh to order. I loved the French toast, eggs and sausages. The grits were perfect too!

The servers were fantastic despite the food taking a while to come out. The food once we got it was delicious. Simple yet tasty. Ambiance was the standard diner vibe, but governor youngkin was dinning there at the same time and made it a bit chaotic. Our server beth was awesome, as well as the manager who was so friendly.

We were sat right away at the bar. The food was delicious and Lourdes our waitress was so kind and attentive. I highly recommend checking them out.

Everything was super! From the service to our food, to the cleanliness of the diner. We both enjoyed the classic breakfast and coffee. Hit the spot and would return without a doubt.

Had a lovely diner styled breakfast at Belvedere, inside the Moxy Hotel. The cozy and clean diner design right by the beach is very charming. We got two types of cheese on the ham and cheese omelette and it was delicious. It was my first time trying creamed beef on toast, which is cool but I don't know if I'd go for it again. The pancakes are really nice, fluffy and aromatic. I liked that their jams for toast included the selection of apple and orange marmalades on top of the usual strawberry and grape. Apple is my fav now & the hot sauce they carry really impressed me with its flavor Lastly, I appreciated their flexibility to whip up an "affogato" with their coffee and ice cream. Our server was very outgoing which made the vibes even cooler. It does get super busy & you'll have to be more patient for service around 9am even for a Monday.

We were welcomed warmly, all servers were sweet and attentive, the menu is simple and affordable. I highly recommend this place if you want a decent and quick breakfast.

The food was great . Big shout out to the cook Kristy and the beautiful waitress Beth.

The staff was very nice, professional and accommodating. The food taste great and freshly prepared in full view sight. Then cooks displayed clean cooking techniques. So much awesomeness

My partner and I did not know what we wanted for breakfast. We knew we wanted a breakfast sandwich. We looked on yelp, and we looked on DoorDash, but nothing came to mind. Then we came across this restaurant. It was the best decision of our vacation. We both ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich for nine dollars. And my partner got a side of fries. I also got the sliders with a side of onion rings. All of this came up to a total of about $35. When the food was cooking, we could just smell how good the cook was putting her love into this food. We knew that we were going to get something better than waffle house and way better than IHOP. Once the waitress came back and said, here's your food and took it up, so we took it up to our room and , I cut the sandwich diagonal, because it was on Texas toast. I took the first bite of the sandwich and it was not soggy. It was not salty. It was the perfect combination of bacon, egg and cheese. I highly recommend getting this sandwich it does come with a side of hashbrowns. I would have recommended to ask them to be fried a little bit longer.

The food was good. The service was good. It's one of the better breakfast/brunch places on the beach.

This is a must stop for a diner atmosphere breakfast or lunch. It's located in the Moxy hotel and it's replicate of the original Belvedere Diner that was torn down a few years ago. It's small inside so it's not great for large groups. We sat at the counter and we got there early on a Sunday morning. Hardly anyone there but by the time we left the place was packed! I got the breakfast sandwich with a side of hash browns. Loved the Texas toast. It was more than enough food. The scrambled egg was perfect - not overcooked at all. Absolutely loved sitting at the counter and watching the cooks who were providing us with some funny entertainment. The cook; Meghan, was wonderful and made sure we enjoyed our food. Very friendly and truly cared that the food was good. Our waitress Maddie took great care of us. I will absolutely be back.

Good diner attached to the Moxy Hotel. Service was attentive, food was very good, typical of a beach diner.

My friend and I just went for a coffee and ended up getting food also. Clean establishment. The cook was great and our server was kind and nice to chat with. From these Ct girls from the 860 we say Thank you!

Love this place! It is your classic diner inside one of the coolest hotels at the oceanfront (The Moxy)! Prices are very reasonable and gratuity already included in the check. Service was friendly and food good! We will definitely be back!

Went back this am service was much better. Our server was Angela. She was very good. They give you A LOT of food. Pancakes, with 2 eggs, sausage, toast, and she asked if I wanted hash browns or grits! A lot to eat!

Virginia Beach, Virginia - the "Belvedere Diner South" located in the "Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront" on 12th & Atlantic Avenue offers a super oceanfront view of the beach ... the ORIGINAL "Belvedere Diner" (since 1968) was originally on 36th & Atlantic Avenue, but was demolished in 2019 ... my 1st meal at the "Belvedere South Diner" was pretty darn nice - the "spirit" of the original "Belvedere Diner" can be felt here ... the smile-riffic serving team of "Shannon" & "Kirsten" made me feel glad I selected an 18 block "Wheelie-Nelson" oceanfront breakfast cruise today ... grill-master "Ryan" served up a good LK'n "Creamed Chipped Beef" over hash browns & toast (aka "SOS" for any WW II veterans) - darn tasty too ... super-server "Shannon" introduced me to "Team Belvedere" members - "Kirsten", "Ryan" & "Tim" ... the view, the atmosphere, the diner-seating and the interactive staff have won a new groupie - "Run-A-Way Bill" will return ... server "Megan" (not here today) gets an honorable mention for her smile-riffic greeting on my 1st peek at the "Belvedere South Diner" on "Friday da' 13th" - her positive-attitude smile made me anxious to return ... #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabBelvedereDinerSouth #BelvedereCoffeeShopSouth #rabDiner #Diner #rabMoxyVB #MoxyOceanfront #rabWheelieNelson #rabVirginiaBeachOceanfront #rabVirginiaBeach #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia 10.18.23 Wednesday

Great breakfast, reasonable prices, excellent and friendly service. They serve mimosas and orange crushes.

The Belvedere South hits the spot as a real diner. It's newly remodeled and fresh. Our waitress was very attentive. It was a great place to watch the sun rise over a crisp morning over the Atlantic. The Breakfast Bowl hit the spot and I recommend it for people that enjoy sautéed peppers and onions. It was great overall experience.

Another great breakfast at Belvedere South. Shallah was an exceptional server and the atmosphere friendly and bright.

We had such a great experience here that we came two days in a row for breakfast during our stay at the Moxy! We're a family of four, and everything--from the food to the service--was spot on. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance made it even better: lots of natural light and relaxing music in the background. Shallah, Maddie, and Hannah were all incredibly friendly and efficient, making us feel right at home. And a huge shoutout to Ian and Telly for cooking up some truly amazing meals. Highly recommend!

This is a great place to eat breakfast. The omelette are huge and fluffy. The pancakes and French toast are old school good. Hash browns are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The staff is super nice and the prices are very reasonable. Love the old school cafe feeling as well!

Meh. The place itself was small but modern looking. My friend and I sat at the counter. The service was not great. They forgot about one of our coffees, and it took a while to get our food. A few people came in after us and got their food first. The food was great. Eggs were flavorful. The bacon was perfectly crispy, as were the hash browns. And the pancakes were perfection. So tasty and fluffy. The food is really good, but I'd probably call in to pick up.

The service was great! The place was clean and very cute. We LOVED the pancakes! We'll be back.

While staying at the Moxy hotel we saw this cute little diner attached. It's not huge at all with one row of booths against the wall and one counter's length of seats facing the cooks. But the staff and food were amazing! This place can get a bit busy but usually you can get a seat pretty quickly. The menu is not extensive with it being mostly diner breakfast and lunch options that have been staples of roadside diners for years (eggs and bacon, pancakes, blt's and so on) but they are done just a little bit better here. Nothing fancy or pretentious but fresh tasting ingredients cooked right in front of you so you know what's happening with your food. They also have a few adult beverages such as mimosas, manmosas and a local drink called a "Waterman's Orange Crush" that was spectacular and was made with a local vodka, fresh squeezed oranges and some other stuff. Prices are great, staff is extremely friendly with our waitress Courtney being wonderfully attentive but not TOO attentive. You know what I mean. Anyways, amazing decor, food and staff. Must try for yourself!

The scenery overall of the moxy hotel and the diner was amazing, we were wowed when we first walked in. However, our experience shifted when we were rushed to sit down and order because they were closing soon at 2pm (it was 12:58). From this point on our expectations were let down by the poor service and food quality. Our pancakes were burnt and tasteless, the chefs & servers were very loud and unprofessional (you would think the restaurant was crowded of people). Every now and then, the other servers would remove things we were using from our table while we were eating (ketchup bottle & syrup). The other server was the rudest of them all, we saw a family come in and he rudely turned them away because of "last call", he even made them feel dumb by saying "didn't you see the last call sign on the door? It says 1:30pm!" Overall, weird restaurant, servers make you feel uncomfortable

This place has been open for the past hour and we walked in and waited for someone to come help us, we even sat ourself down but the staff was in the back talking FOREVER. Couldn't find or make the time to come out and greet their guest. They never came out so we left. Ridiculous!

Cute little spot, super friendly staff, the food tasted great better then most breakfast and it wasn't pricy at all. They've only been open a month so it's might take a little long for your food but it's understandable and worth the wait.

Good view...clean...breakfast bowl and chip beef over toast was great! You can order to go and take it outside on the hotel patio (The Moxy) to get the ocean views....

Service was , Our server is very attentive and friendly, Even tho they were busy we never ran out of coffee and things we need, Food is great! im inlove with their pancakes! its different from like common breakfast places, Fair Pricing of the food, Oh and The location? The best! you can go in and see the Moxy hotel lobby, its a really unique cool place

Food is average and service was terrible. Did not feel welcomed or cared about at all.

Food was wonderful! Staff is super friendly!! Prices are reasonabe!! Definitely recommend!!
