Pale Horse Coffee - Great Bridge

Usually, I would rate this business as 5 stars however recently I've noticed a slip in customer service. My order has been forgotten twice in a row when the store is pretty slow and it is beyond frustrating to have your time wasted because the workers would rather chat it up with their friends. Today instead of a Blueberry Bang I got a "tea" that tasted like dirty water with a weak peach syrup to cover it up. It is pretty disappointing.

This place is AMAZING! The coffee is definitely the best I've ever had, and they have a decent food selection for being a coffee house. The atmosphere is top-notch. I love the military relevance in both decor and menu names. This place was also really busy when I went, and I thought I'd be in line and waiting forever, but they were so fast it seemed like I was the only one there. I also have pretty bad social anxiety, but I did not feel that once despite the place being busy. The bathroom was not only very clean, but also really pretty. I cannot say enough good things about every aspect of this business.

Great coffee shop and yummy coffee. From hot drinks to iced lattes (oat milk is an option). They have a variety of their own coffee whole bean or ground and some souvenirs such as shirts, tank tops coffee mugs etc. With a nice quiet atmosphere and seating area. Veteran owned and operated with great baristas that are knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommend supporting this small business and the veterans that built it.

Love the atmosphere and the friendly staff. We got some Patriot Beans that we can't wait to brew ☕. Highly recommend this place for a beverage quick stop!

It doesn't matter if it's hot or iced, Pale Horse has the very best coffee. They have a great variety of flavors, and always happy to see you and serve you!

Quiet, but a bit cold-feeling. By that I mean that the building is very open, high ceilings, open floor plan. A warehouse feeling. Kind of like Coalescence Coffee in Norfolk. I believe it was once a warehouse of sorts, so it makes sense. Not really something they can fix. It is a different kind of environment you would find at a place like Fair Grounds or Cure Coffeehouse, both of whom live in smaller, old buildings. Regardless, I can focus on homework. The few times I've been there no one was being very noisy or loud, something which I often experience at a place like Café Stella. Seems people usually go to Pale Horse to read a book or do homework, minding their own business with earbuds in. Perfect, I'm doing the same thing. However, the open air type building they're in doesn't provide for a relaxed or secure time, there's no nook or corner I can find to get comfortable. Nothing against the coffee itself, but rather the facility they chose to move into. Atmosphere affects the overall experience one has at a restaurant or café, cafes especially. People go to eat at restaurants, but people often go to cafes to have coffee while doing something else, and the surrounding environment can influence the effectiveness of the work or task the seek to accomplish while at the establishment. I don't particularly like Pale Horse's environment, but others may find it perfectly acceptable. It is a matter of preference. I figured I would let people know about my experiences while here, in light of my preferences and interests, which the purpose of these reviews.

Came in to buy some whole bean espresso for my Gaggia Classic. @ nearly $18 for 12oz of whole beans thats pretty steep. The coffee tasted good but i will stick to my Lavazza Alteco Organic beans. Better bang for the buck plus it doesnt have pesticides. Alteco sells for $18.64/2LB on their official website. I enjoy supporting small business but not when they are pricing nearly quadruple what it should be

Pale Horse is the best coffee. Tastes far superior than any other coffee houses I’ve visited. The selection is vast, service friendly and veteran owned is the icing on the cake to me.

We just had our first visit here today and we will definitely be back! They are doggo friendly and even remade my coffee when my derpy boy knocked the first one over with his tail. Their Chai Tea Lattes are pretty amazing, too 😁

This place is awesome. After just moving here, this is not the ONLY place I get coffee. The place is awesome inside, and they just did a bit of a remodel, so now there's even more room. The swag is pretty awesome too. My one and only complaint... Please consider opening up a little earlier on the weekends? I'll come work the early morning shift😉. Thanks!!
