Buckroe Coffee Co.

Buckroe Coffee Co. is a veteran-owned shop in an old bank building on Pembroke Avenue in Hampton, and the original vault is still inside. It's bright and cozy, and the owner is usually around chatting with customers. Out back, there's a yard with a hammock, picnic tables, a Virginia LOVE sign, a small dog park and a playground in progress, plus community events. There's a drive-thru and pup cups.

The açaí bowls are a local favorite, and the avocado toast is good too. Try the Jessa, the Buckroe Buzz with strawberry syrup, or a London fog with a cinnamon muffin. There's a ham and cheese croissant as well. The wifi can be spotty, so bring a hotspot if you need to work.
