*first time visitor* When I first came in, I was instantly captivated, it’s huge and spacious with decorations that are the cutest!! The co founder was as kind as can be and such a joy, and the gentleman on the register at the time was Tony , he was helpful as well!! Lastly, the coffee was AMAZING, Will be back soon!!

Loved the vibe and the service was friendly. Ordered the tier-2 coffee and was not very impressed. I did appreciate that it was brewed fresh, but the flavor was slightly off-putting. Quaint selection of baked goods, would have loved to see a gluten-free option.

Great pour over and espresso, especially if you like naturals or prefer an alternative to cold brew for iced coffee.

Every time I come here, I have a great experience. Not to mention they give me coffee in a beaker.

Great atmosphere and wonderful people! The coffee is excellent and they have non dairy milks ( oat, almond & I think soy). The blueberry muffins are great and my one year old loves the biscotti. If you can have dairy, my husband reccomends the milkshakes when they have them.

We were visiting a friend here in Norfolk and wanted some craft coffee! This place had a really cool environment and a great selection of seating. The coffee was awesome..definitely recommend their pour over! It was nice getting to talk to the owner as well! Next time we’re in VA, we’ll be back!

I've only been in 3-4 times, have always gotten a pour over and once a coffee old fashioned mocktail. Everything has always been amazing and the space is gorgeous. I rarely leave reviews but the service is what sets this place apart and makes it worth sharing. Every time I've been in the same barista has helped me, I believe Jenny based on some other reviews. She is super knowledgeable and has no problem answering my likely mundane questions to help me with my at home pour overs. Any time I'm in the area, Coalescence is a must stop.

Never had a coffee experience quite like this place. Really clever and delicious curated espresso menu. Great atmosphere and friendly staff - seems like it should be pretentious but somehow they are just getting everything right.

Some of the best coffee in Norfolk. More importantly, the owners and staff are very friendly and warm. There is a lot of space (and outlets!) to get work done as well.
