Mea Culpa - Review - Park Place - Norfolk - The Infatuation

"Mea Culpa is a coffee shop where you can get an exceptional espresso drink and, if you’re not in a hurry, some of the best food in Norfolk. There’s typically one barista at the bar and one chef in the kitchen single-handedly churning out breakfast plates that run laps around any brunch in town, like impossibly moist, savory corn pancakes topped with lime aioli, parmesan, honey, and cilantro. They’re open Thursday through Sunday, or whenever they feel like it, so checkInstagrambefore you head over with a book or a good friend and nothing else to do that day." - Alicia Camden

Such a really great place to just relax or chat with friends. There is also seating outside so you can enjoythe weather. The food taste amazing, the presentation is wonderful and the portions are more than enough.

I’m a NY bacon egg and cheese kind of guy, but Mea Culpa Cafe has their own unique twist on the sandwich, and I have to say it’s fabulous. So glad I found this place. Had to take the pic before I finished it.

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Norfolk, serving a small yet brilliant menu. The place is very clean. Coffee is delicious. I had the oatmeal with egg - I could eat it everyday. My spouse had corn pancakes and was very satisfied. My child had the lemon curd waffle and devoured it. The portions are hearty. It is a small kitchen - so don't expect lightning fast food - worth the wait. The staff were both professional and kind.

This place is IT! Great vibes, best cappuccinos around, and all the food is made to order and flavored with love. It may take more time than usual but it's worth the wait. I also appreciate their attention to service. We always come in with our rambunctious toddler, so little gestures like bringing the food to our table and turning the CC machine to me as I wrangle the toddler means a lot. Oh, and how the baristas turn the cup so that the foam design faces you is the cherry on top. Thanks, Mea Culpa!

My husband and I go here at least once a season to read and enjoy yummy lattes and breakfasts. The people who run the shop are super kind, and they do a great job with their menu. I almost always get the goat cheese liege waffle with egg— it rocks my world every time! 🍳 We also got corn meal pancakes and a pistachio latte (all 3 pictured). There are a handful of seats available outside on their porch as well. There is a food pantry by the front door, as well as a small second-hand bookstore on the stair case.

I have been a regular patron at Mea Culpa for the past four years. The menu is unique, packed with fresh ingredients, tastes delicious, and modifiable for people with dietary restrictions. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating to customers needs. The atmosphere is relaxing, clean, and comfortable. There is even a little book pop up in the front of the cafe that adds extra charm. Thanks for all that you do Mea Culpa! Norfolk would not be the same without you!

Favorite coffee shop that I visited in Norfolk! They use local beans and the coffee was made with care. They use house made syrups and their vanilla oat milk latte was so good I came back and got it a second time. Drip coffee comes with a free refill. They have a limited food menu with unique items that were all very good. We tried the banh mi and liege waffle and both were hot, fresh, and delicious! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the place itself is cute and quaint. Employees are friendly and service was great. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Norfolk!
