This place is popular and you’ll see why. The staff is friendly and cheerful. The space is inviting. While you wait, merchandise for sale is sprinkled throughout the store.The outdoor seating is some of the best around, especially for kids (lots of safe, off streets space) and for private conversation (tables are well spaced). The location in the back of the shopping area lends to a quieter, low traffic noise space. Very relaxing.They offer several tasty quiches and bakery items, even gluten-free and vegan options from a local vegan sweet shop.My dirty chai was excellent. My companions were happy with their tea and coffee choices. We’ll return.
Decided to stop by Roast Rider because of the good reviews and they were right! The syrups are made in house and they have a good variety of options. I tried lavender in a white mocha and it was the perfect blend! A great spot with great customer service. Don’t skip out on the chocolate croissant! It was delicious. Perfect spot to hang out a bit and enjoy your coffee
I truly didn't leave that first review, however, I also understand the small business perspective as I too am a small business owner. I loved the shop and tipped the barista and WILL RETURN. The 1 star was definitely an error. So relax all is well ?.
Roast Rider is top tier! Flatbread, pastries, cookies and good lattes! Very relaxed environment and many seating options! Highly recommend
A cozy coffee shop to unwind or meet friends for a great cup of coffee. The flavors are wonderful. Every time I've been here they never disappoint. I also like the fact I can get decaf cappuccino, I know this defeats the purpose but some days I can do with out the caffeine. It's always been a good experience.
Worst latte I’ve ever had. Ordered a large skim latte with a double shot of espresso, and it had absolutely no flavor to it. The color was barely off white to the point I genuinely wonder if they forgot to put the espresso shots in it…. The atmosphere was great, but im pretty sure the latte was literally just a cup of steamed milk… (I realize that lattes are mostly steamed milk and espresso, but I’m talkin 98% milk. 0 coffee flavor or color detected)
I went to Roast Rider for the first time in August and basically went every day after that! My experience was nothing short of amazing! The workers were all so kind and their service was what made me keep coming back! It was hard to believe that working at Roast Rider was a first job for some of them, they all were so experienced and knew how to help a first timer like me! Defintely sticking with these guys!
I really loved te atmosphere and the customer service of this place. Will definitely be back!
I’ve been coming here now for over five years, and this place is consistently the best quality coffee & tea in VA Beach.
Chai oat milk latte with cinnamon is a must-have
