Commune

This little restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, with plenty of lush, living plants that make the space feel cozy and inviting. The staff is always attentive and ensures a great experience. We enjoyed some delicious, warm drinks while it was raining outside, and the food was absolutely tasty. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a comforting meal. Definitely give it a try!

I love it here. Never had a bad experience. The food is always so good. And their lattes are perfect. I don’t think the waitress told us her name but she was good and attentive. I typically will get the chicken and waffles but I did something different and got the burger. It was really good and the side of potatoes were cooked so well. The apple pie latte was so freakin good. The aesthetic in there is the best. The wood is great. The tables look hand crafted. Go.

I definitely would recommend this place to everyone. The food, staff, and atmosphere were great. Pretty small place with a constant crowd, but it's definitely worth it. The double stack burger with pimento cheese was spot on.

Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. With delicious, thoughtfully-prepared dishes that embrace local traditions and sustainable practices, it’s easy to see why this restaurant has quickly earned a loyal following. We ordered Cornmeal Waffles, Iced Chai Latte and Tidewater Mushroom Benedict. We left feeling nourished, satisfied, and inspired by the taste of real food. Highly recommended!

Small place, good food, great service. Atmosphere is subjective. Great laid back vibe. Shared dining area. Meaning, a table that sits 10, will be shared between parties of people that fit into the 10 chairs. I love the concept of breaking down walls. My husband would hate it. I go with my girlfriends. ;)

Stopped by for some brunch on a Saturday morning after going to a different restaurant with a wait, so we definitely expected to have to wait at Commune as well, but we got to sit down right away! The atmosphere here is so lovely, the restaurant itself is bright and floral and sweet and all the staff were very kind. The cocktail menu was INSANE, I got the Hummingbird mimosa and my fiancé had the White Russian and not only were the drinks strong, they were gorgeous too! Our food tasted so fresh and was so filling, and we left extremely satisfied. I love that they use local seasonal ingredients and list their providers on the menu, it made the whole experience so much more fun to be able to see where the food we were eating came from!

I have come here twice and the food and service is just amazing. I have tried the strawberry latte and the peanut butter honey latte, both delicious. Food wise I've tried quite a few things. The biscuits and gravy are damn perfect imo. Nice thick fluffy biscuits with an amazing delicious gravy. Ate the whole thing easily. The strawberry muffins are fantastic. Not over sweet, they focus more on the flavor of strawberry rather than an overload of sugar. Cut in half and then toasted. Served with fresh butter. Delicious! The pimento cheese board with pickled veggies is an absolute banger. Wonderful variety of pickled veggies, all delicious. Cheese was great too! Chicken and waffle was great! Juicy and crispy chicken with nice thick waffles. Great flavor. Hash tots was a pleasant surprise. Very tasty and great to share. Overall if you are looking for a good brunch spot, check this place out. All food is locally sourced. In the back of their menu it tells you where's alot of the wine, coffee, veggies, etc come from. Staff are very nice. There's also 2 big bathrooms in the back, pretty clean.

Me and my boyfriend come here once a year on our beach trip and it is the best place ever! THE WAFFLES ARE TO DIE FOR! We absolutely love it! The coffee and lattes are also delicious!

My favorite brunch in Virginia Beach. you want good food? good service? good drinks? Did you start your Saturday at 10am? Go to commune. After all, you can't drink all day if you don't start early. May as well load up with a potato bowl as well.

Ordered some type of eggs benedict. Green hollandaise didn't have much to it. Wasn't loving the biscuit type toast for it, but was especially disappointed when I ripped open the egg and the white was the runniest white I had ever seen. It kind of poured into the toast that by the time I showed the waitress it wasn't as egregious as when I first saw it run out watery. She tried to argue that's how they come and had some back-and-forth with the cook where he said he can't do it with a firm white and runny yolk. So of course it's sent back and then I had a hard yellow, but as anybody knows a good poached egg has firm, not runny uncooked whites with a warm creamy yoke. Multiple google sources confirmed this, so was kind of insulting when the workers said we were incorrect / crazy for expecting a normal poached egg. It is hard to gauge the doneness of a poached egg, but for a $17 plate it should be correct. Though, they did comp the eggs for this situation. The ham was overly salty and too dark of a color from my preference. The salad and vinaigrette was subpar according to dad. Did not enjoy the grits. I loved the bacon. I asked the waitress what drinks were good and she said a latte so I said sure, but she had meant the honey latte which was good, but I had thought she meant a normal latte without sugar, so I guess miscommunication on both of our behalf's for not specifying.

Stopped in for some brunch while walking our dog. Thankfully there was patio seating! The inside had a cool vide, but with our dog - we stuck to the patio. I have extensive allergies and I'm so grateful for the staff and kitchen talking through the menu with me. I was able to safely eat a number of items with only minor modifications. I got the cornmeal waffles and they were quite yummy. My husband got the friend chicken sandwich, which he enjoyed. We would gladly return.

Visited on a whim this morning when we stumbled upon open seats outside while riding our bikes past headed to a coffee shop down the road. It's been on the must try list for quite some time! I opted for the waffles and fried chicken, it was very good. First time having cornmeal waffles, while different they were great. The fried rice bowl was tasty and HUGE. The coffee and service were also on point. Not sure why we waited so long to try it...excellent! The ambience outside is nice however it's along a busy street so expect typical VB strip vibes.

The food was amazing, very delicious. But the service was very slow. Our waitress Jamie forgot to place our order, and we waited for an hour before our food came out. Very aggravating situation.

I will start with, I don't know if this place has any parking, but thankfully someone was pulling out from the side of the road and we were able to park there. So if parking is usually something that will hold you from going somewhere this place is probably not for you. But if you do not care and you're here to try a good brunch spot, this place has a pretty good size menu with multiple protein options, and I think I saw vegan option too. My favorite item is a beet latte I know sounds weird beets in a latte but it was so delicious. I went with my partner and daughter and we all agree that we will be going there again. The server was nice it's a small location it was a bit busy but I never felt like I wasn't getting what I needed. Again, if you're looking for something new to try and want to get out of your comfort zone. This place is it.

Farm to table at the oceanfront. Private parking. Solid 4 overall, mostly because of the creative and diverse lunch menu appealing to my vegetarian friend. Fried rice bowl was heat hot, made with fresh ingredients, and very filling. Service was very friendly but tad on slow side. You may want to be forward if you're in a rush.

Came here for brunch on Easter Sunday and had a wonderful experience! This review actually sits at a 4.5/5 because adding honey to your tea is $1.50 and a side of bacon is $6.50, which I think is quite literal highway robbery. But, the food and service were very good. We started with the fruit fritters and didn't expect so many and for them to be so large, but were pleasantly surprised! The fresh cream was a lovely touch. I had a chai latte and my husband had a macchiato, both of which were very nice. For brunch, I got the Tidewater Mushroom benny and my husband had regular eggs Benedict. The flavor of mine was amazing. My husband's meal was also very delicious, though the ham didn't even keep one full day (as leftovers, not sure why). For a $65 meal, I would expect you could definitely add some other kind of sweetener to a chai latte, so that was disappointing (to have been told I could add honey....at $1.50 a scoop). The ambiance is simple and tasteful. We sat outside on a sunny day and that was lovely. I do wish their spot was closer to the ocean!!

Wanted to try someplace new before heading over to Plant House for a class and so glad we picked here. Like the name suggests they are communal tables and they had a full house. Loads of plants and the service and food were great. Ordered; Veggie Fritters Crispy Potato Bowl So tasty

Commune has been on my radar for awhile. I was attending an event nearby and my friends wanted to meet up for brunch before going and I suggested Commune since it was so close. - Parking - If you come early enough, you can snag a spot in their private lot shared with neighboring businesses or you can also find parking on the street. - TLC - The service at Commune seems to be a more shared experience, where we had a main server, but had other servers brought our food and take other requests. They were all really kind and sweet. - Noms & Sips - Yaupon matcha latte - I am familiar with yaupon after having lived in Savannah, where this medicinal plant used by Native Americans comes from. The latte was tasty, but a bit more grainy and earthy than what habitual matcha drinkers are used to, so FYI. Gold milk latte - My friends each ordered a golden milk latte, with different milks, but both slurped it up and expressed how they were tempted to order another because it was so delicious! Hash tots - this is a shareable dish! We ordered this dish thinking it was an app size, but the tots were huge, almost like a giant donut hole. The texture is interesting because it is both a soft and mashed-like texture, as well as shreds of sweet potatoes. It is served with this delicious sweet, mayo-like sauce. Not sure if I would order it again, only because it was so filling, and we barely had room for the three other dishes we ordered, but it was tasty! Farm grit bowl - I've never been a fan of collard greens, but all that changed at Commune! I'm also not usually a fan of grits either, but I would definitely order this again! It was comfort in a bowl with a little bit of fancy sprinkled in. The grits were nice and creamy, accompanied with a chicken sausage patty, topped with a poached egg, microgreens, a slice of watermelon radish and a generous helping of collard greens. Normally, the fumes of the vinegar that is used to cook down collard greens, go up my nose, which in turn, throws me off, so I've never really been a fan of the preparation at the majority of places. However, at Commune, I could have eaten an entire bowl's worth. I did taste the vinegar, but it wasn't as overpowering and just really paired well with the grits! So good. Cornmeal waffles - this is their interpretation of the chicken & waffle dish. The waffles were a lot more dense, and hearty since it was made with cornmeal, but I liked the grittiness and was definitely more filling. The chicken was battered and seasoned nicely and the fact that they used thigh meat was a bonus! The chicken was juicy! Biscuits & gravy - This was my least favorite dish, but it was still good. I felt like the biscuits were just a little flat and not as tall and puffy. It still tasted good, an egg makes everything better, and the salad added a nice healthy balance to a heavy plate. Overall, the vibe is stellar. Lots of wood and plants as decor, with art from a local Virginia artist D. Kane on the walls and his signature black and white design on their menus. This is a farm-to-table concept, cooked with produce grown in their garden out back. I've heard that the rest of the ingredients are sourced from as local as possible. This all means, it is a bit more pricey, but I would definitely return knowing that they are using quality ingredients and putting so much care. Enjoy, Friends and never stop exploring!

I always love coming to Commune! The food is always good and fresh, the service is always good and I love the simple dining ambiance. Outdoor seating is available as well. I absolutely love the fritters every time!

My favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach. This is my last meal before I fly out and it's delicious. I got the biscuit egg Benedict, and the sorbet mimosa and the breakfast on Baltic coffee drink. Everything is always great here and it's not busy on the weekday which makes it easy to get in. Check this place out when you can. All farm to table food and it's all delicious.

I first was turned off because the ladies inside saw I arrived before they opened and didn't alert me after they unlocked the door. It's not got customer service to have your guests standing outside longer than necessary. The food is VERY unique and fresh which I don't have a problem with but basic eaters will. The waffle has grains inside the batter and the grits are herby.

Excellent farm to table fresh food. Worth the wait! Give this place a try. We enjoyed our breakfast bowls very much.

Commune has now become my favorite breakfast place at the beach. Someone asks if I want brunch - I'm suggesting Commune, hands down. We live close enough to bike to the Vibe district now and explore on weekends and we do this often. We held our marriage reception at next door Esoteric and we love their break-off bakery, Prosperity, across the street. Commue is cool - and I love the vibe here. It lives up to the name - a communal type place where you seat yourself and sit with others at the same table if you're a smaller party and seat yourself outside at the patio or at the bar area. The menu is wonderful and always boasts fresh and local items - nearly everything is sourced from Virginia farmers and they have a list on the back of the menu where everything came from. Love this! They feature seasonal berry waffles and sandwiches with peaches, strawberries, etc. as they are in season and the waffles are WONDERFUL. Made of cornmeal and have a delicious texture. You won't regret them. A few visits ago we saw a Pimento cheese board on its way to a table so we had that last weekend and it was SO good. A huge portion of delicious pimento cheese with a ton of pickled veggies like carrots, radish, okra, cherries, onion, corn, etc. with a huge bowl of toasted wheat bread and drizzled with honey to finish. YUM! Their sandwiches and breakfast burgers are large and delicious as are the chicken and waffles. They also have some lighter toasts and veggie items if that is your thing with a really delicious sweet potato and egg and veggie (squash and onions and other veggies) scramble bowl. It can get busy on weekends during peak season - but the wait isn't usually too bad and they have a few bakery items for sale at the front of the store. Literally nothing on the menu is bad. The coffee is a bit weak in my opinion but I like their lattes and other drinks. They offer oat milk as a sub for dairy.

Commune is a sustainable eatery, bakery, and cafe. Visiting this locally sourced Farm-to-table restaurant has been on my list for a while and I am so glad I finally did. Commune is located within the Oceanfront area of Virginia Beach's cultural arts enclave - The Vibe Creative District. The Vibe Creative District is full of exceptional murals and works of art. The seating is either bar stool seating or community table seating. We ate inside but there Is outdoor eating also. The menu was creative and there was drinks- alcoholic and non-alcoholic. We ordered the following: *** stars -Veggie Fritters - Zucchini squash fritters pan fried served with herb aioli. * star -Hash Tots - Fried sweet potato "tots" drizzled with local honey, served with honey mustard aioli. *** stars - Crispy Potato Bowl -Golden potatoes, farmer's cheese, roasted garlic aioli, pickled mustard seeds, sunny egg...substituted sunny egg for egg whites. ***stars - Skillet Hash - Sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, corn, zucchini, squash, tomato jam, sunny egg..substituted sunny egg for egg whites. *****Heirloom Tomato Sandwich- Thick sliced heirloom tomatoes, shaved raw onion, and burnt onion aioli served on Texas style potato bread...added sausage patty.

My most favorite restaurant. I always come right when they open so I can pick any seat I want. I always sit at the bar though so I can chat with the bartender. They're always so friendly. They always have great recommendations for food and beverages too. On my most recent visit, I got the turmeric latte with oat milk. So delicious. It went perfectly with my waffles and bacon. I went a la carte on the waffles and bacon since I don't like eggs. The side of bacon is humongous and well worth every penny. I love that everything is farm to table and it's just so delicious. It's nice and quiet right when they open too, so that's enjoyable for me. Not sure how noisy it gets later on. Definitely my favorite place to bring friends and family to.

One of the best breakfasts anywhere. The only problem is trying to figure out which great thing to order and devour. Anything with biscuits is hard to pass up. Eggs will be done perfectly. Cute place and friendly service. Excellent, strong coffee. Don't miss Commune!

Highly, highly recommend as a breakfast spot while in VA beach. Much of the ingredients are locally sourced, and you can really tell how fresh everything is. I loved the cornmeal waffles, and would definitely order those again. They were the perfect amount of whole grainy-ness and sweetness. The vedge sandwich was solid as well-- eggs, cheese, greens, a slab of sweet potato all on a fresh brioche. This came with a sauce of my choosing. The crispy potato bowl was delicious, but could have been improved with a little less mayo, and one more egg. No big complaints though. Coffee was also very tasty-- we tried the seasonal peanut butter latte both hot and iced, and you can't go wrong either way. There isn't a ton of seating, and it is communal, but that's a great way to strike up conversation with others! Ambiance is pretty chill. Service was fast, and helpful.

We were in the Vibe district and this was on my list of places to eat. Inside is smaller than I thought. We ended up on the window counter, which was fine. Started with some amazing fritters, which are complimentary. We had the hot honey chicken, double stack burger and the fried rice bowl. Everything was fantastic and plenty of left overs.

Atmosphere and service, fantastic! Food was mediocre. We shared the Hash Tots as an appetizer, which needed salt. The sauce served alongside it didn't really seem to compliment the tots, but that's just personal preference. For my entree, I couldn't make a decision on an actual entree so got an appetizer and side instead. I got the Asparagus Tartine, which was my favorite bite of the morning and the fried chicken, which was unfortunately .. not good. Overcooked completely with an insane amount of breading. When it first arrived, I was impressed by the size, but I ended up only having 2-3 small bites of edible CHICKEN and tons of leftover un-filled breading. My friend got a bowl with veggies, eggs and chicken sausage and hers was much better. The chicken sausage was probably our favorite thing on the table.

We stumbled up the gem, walking distance from our hotel. The Commune has the coolest vibe, urban decor and a fabulous menu! We started with the pimento cheese board and I would highly recommend it-- so good especially the pickled beets! We enjoyed great conversation and coffee as we waited for our food. I got the fried chicken eggs Benedict-- amazing and so much flavor! We ended with their blueberry fritter doughnuts-- a must!! Great value for the money too!

I was at the Sports Center and wanted to go somewhere to grab a cup of coffee and maybe a small bite to eat and Yelp guided me to Commune. It's a Locals spot with community seating which helped alleviate a long wait. Our waitress was very nice! She have an outstanding coffee recommendation: and burnt honey and lavender. It was really too pretty to drink but then I tasted it and that moment passed. My husband had the affogato and loved the ice cream that came with it. We both had very similar sandwiches: ham biscuits. I wanted a fried egg so I had the classic. Whatever I said earlier about grabbing a small bit to eat was out the window. The breakfast biscuit sandwich was huge! It made for a nice lunch as well. 5 STARS! Great service, unique coffee that I can't even explain, and a good solid breakfast sandwich. It's not cheap, but it's filling!

Small menu with amazing fresh-local food. This is my second time here this week. The food was so great that I had to return.

Excellent food and service we enjoyed our experience in the restaurant. The parking was a little challenging but we eventually got a spot

Food is always delicious, but the servers are always extremely rude and ignore me when I come with my girlfriend. Today we watched 4 other groups get served before they even brought us a menu. The consistent rudeness leads me to believe they are homophobic at this location. Wish they'd treat all customers equally.

if you haven't been, go. If you have, keep going. The food is great, the vibe is amazing. Please, who is your houseplant supplier?

We loved the food. It tasted fresh. The peach cornmeal waffle was delicious (and huge). The latte was delicious. I really have nothing bad to say and will certainly return

a but pricey, but probably fair for farm to table ingredients. Cute place, food was great, portions are huge. Strawberry latte was amazing.

Every time I come to VA Beach I come to Commune and every time it hits the spot! This time I ordered the chicken sandwich which was chefs kiss and the iced golden milk was refreshing.

Commune is absolutely delicious! They are a rustic farm-to-table style restaurant on Virginia Beach Blvd with delicious food and a great atmosphere. I arrived around 9AM on a Sunday and there was plenty of space at the bar and at the communal tables. The staff was very polite and provided lots of great recommendations of their favorites. I went for their Classic Breakfast Sandwich with chicken sausage and pimento cheese. The sandwich was delicious and had a great spicy kick to it. The vegetable toppings were fresh and delicious. I could taste the fact that it was farm-to-table quality in every bite. For dessert, I had their fruit fritters which were the seasonal fruit of apples, fried in dough, rolled in a glaze and topped with whipped cream and powered sugar. They were delicious and I cannot recommend them enough. Be sure to save room for dessert and try these if you get the chance. Overall, I recommend anyone try Commune!

I wish I could also give half stars because this is at least 3.5 stars. Beautifully decorated restaurant. I also thought that the service was great. Madison was very helpful and polite and helped us with some choices on the menu. Now onto the food. I had the pulled pork hash. It was decent. It had a sweet white sauce that I wish there was less of. I also got a watermelon mimosa. It has no added sugar (for the health conscious), but that left it lacking in flavor. I was able to get a little simple syrup to sweeten it to my liking. Overall not bad.

Came here for lunch several times while in VA Beach. The double stack burger with pimento cheese and bacon was perfect every time. Service was great and the place was no frills but nice. It is a little off the beaten path, but worth the trip if you are hanging out in the area.

Best place ever. Always get the fruit fritters - the fruit changes depending on the season!

This is an incredible, vibey place in VB to get REAL GOOD FOOD. It's all locally sourced and that makes it soooo delicious. Great stop for family with lots to choose from. Definitely stop here!!

This is listed as a breakfast and brunch place, and we're delighted to find plenty of lunch items on the menu. My husband had the Commune burger and I had the ham, apple and cheddar grilled sandwich. Both were really good. Each came with a side salad of the freshest greens I've had in a long time. Yum! I also had a decaf cappuccino- I love when decaf is an option. The decor is warm, lots of wood and communal tables. There is outdoor seating also. The servers were very professional and helpful. We love this place and will be back when we return to VB.

Delicious, local food & great service! Let me also plug in the great aesthetics and music of this place too. My boyfriend and I decided to come to Commune as we're early risers and are health/sustainability conscious. Also, it's on the way out of VA beach in their cute vibe district/area. We were definitely interested in the cornmeal waffles and it did not disappoint. Their menu online was of their older summer menu, so they didn't have some items we were excited for damn was that peach waffle on point! I also wanted to try their field pea patty (it was just ok but amazing with their hot sauce) and my boyfriend got a side of fried chicken and then ordered another one cause it was that delicious! My boyfriend also had a glass of Virginia red wine and the aqua Fresca cocktail as his morning beverages of choice. He enjoyed both! They also sell bottles of wine. I wanted a coffee drink to go and was feeling a dirty chai latte. Was interesting to hear about their chai here as it's not naturally sweeten (like 8bucks) but they add honey. I decided to not get that and enjoyed plain. They also only have two milk options, whole milk or oat. We will definitely come back when we're back in the VA Beach area!!

The food is full of flavor and locally sourced ingredients. Visiting from out of town and was pleasantly surprised with the overall service and meal.

Loved this place! Our lattes & cappuccinos were hot and unique - my husband loved the peanut butter latte (made with their own peanut butter). The food was delicious and fresh and we loved that everything but the coffee is locally sourced. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast, I'd add Commune to your list!

Amazing brunch. I would highly recommend to others! Service was amazing. Location near oceanfront is also a plus. Inside gives a homey vibe.

Detailed Review: Cappuccino w/ burnt honey + oat milk : 5/5 Really good. Had what I think was bee pollen on top. Almost got a second one to go Golden milk latte w/oat milk: 5/5 "Best golden milk latte I've ever had" - friend Lavender soda: 4/5 Light and refreshing. A little strong at first but really nice overall. Ginger fix mimosas: 3/5 Nice and cute. Nothing to write home about but still pretty good Hot chicken sandwich w/crispy potatoes: 3/5 "Not hot, no chicken" - friend The potatoes and the aioli were probably the best part out of all the food items. Biscuits Egg Benedict w/fried chicken: 1/5 Nothing really had any flavor. It was almost like they forgot to season any of the food. The biscuit was dry and the eggs still had uncooked whites. Not sure why the lettuce. Overall: 3.5/5 Want to give it a 4 because it was so cute and the drinks were phenomenal. However, the food was really bland and for the price, it really should be more than just pretty. Would definitely return for the coffee

I can appreciate the wholesome food, but if I ask for ketchup and you tell me "tomato's are out of season" you can damn well expect I will never come back or recommend this place to anyone. The food is honestly really good, the environment is not for everyone.

Highly recommend. Staff is friendly Cofre was really good. Lavender latter and affogato Food- pancakes and fried chicken sandwich - insanely good

Food is fresh and different - large portions, suggest sharing most plates. Very busy on weekends, expect to share a table with others during busy times. Nice outdoor seating, drinks available if desired. Vibe is fun and vibrant. Service/food might take a while when busy, go on the weekends if you are not in a hurry but would like to relax!

Commune is way too expensive. $18 for ONE biscuit and gravy that had no flavor except for the 4 or 5 pieces of sausage... Extremely disappointing experience.

This place was amazing! The food was so good my husband and I were floored by how fresh everything tasted, we truly can't wait to go back. Our server took great care of us, and the vibe of the restaurant just tied it all together :)

Food was fresh and tasty. The cornmeal waffles are different but good. Everything tasted fresh. Tried the beet ketchup and wanted to buy a bottle to take home! The coffee had great flavor. Service was excellent. I will be adding this place on my list to return.

The food here is good, but PLEASE be advised that this restaurant does not list allergens in their food. I ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and ended up having two episodes of anaphylaxis and spending the night in the hospital because the pesto contained peanuts. This was not listed anywhere on the menu. If you have any allergies please be very careful and make sure your server knows, and maybe double check with the kitchen.

We went to this place because we missed our hotel breakfast. I chose it because they have an awesome selection of lattes, both iced and hot. The blueberry/brown sugar iced latte was PHENOMENAL, hands down the most gorgeous drink I have ever tasted. I ordered the biscuit eggs Benedict (as shown) while my entourage got the crispy potato bowl and the cornmeal waffles with sausage. Everything was delish, but beware of the portions. They are a little big but we have no regrets! The vibes here were immaculate but a little lacking on the exterior. Service was fast and the girls were very friendly!
