Mea Culpa Cafe

Eclectic food and coffee in a cage in a very nicely remodeled older house. Cool vibe. It's a hidden little place, you could miss it if you're not looking. Just a sign on the porch of an otherwise unpretentious house. They have a great way of talking things you'd think of as savory and turning them sweet and vice versa. Really nice play on some classics. Very cool

OMG, YALL THE FRENCH TOAST!!!!!! Amazing. When I visited there was a pop up book shop. Yes! Got a delicious mocha. Yes! Again, the french toast!! Double yes. Yall must try it. We got a waffle too, was delicious as well. Atmosphere is great. Kids are ok, but def a leave your kids at home so you can vibe lol. We ate outside so our daughter wouldn't disturb the other patrons eating in peace. No one seemed to mind her running around all crazy though (thankyou). Also, they have a fridge outside with stuff for people that need it, so if you're feeling charitable bring some stuff to put in there for someone in need. 5 stars!

I live nearer to Pungo so I was super excited to finally be in the area and get to experience this place! I appreciated the fresh tasting, creative flavor combos and satisfying portions. Ordered the orzo bowl & waffle with lemon curd and you definitely get what you pay for. Atmosphere is good to study, do laptop work or hang with friends. Maybe we can talk about a second location? ;) Well done, Mea Culpa!

Quality, elegantly prepared espresso drinks in a gorgeous setting - you can't beat the breezy, shaded wraparound porch. The waffles are exquisite also. Service is without flaw. There has always been ample street parking when I have visited.

Really nice place, coffee was great, thanks!

Best waffles in town! Cute cafe inside an older house, but it's set up with ample seating. Great ambiance with lots of windows and green plants.

If you want artisanal, local, non corporate coffee and food... This is the place

Accidentally stumbled upon this place this morning for Mother's Day breakfast with my 7 yr old. It was delicious!!! He enjoyed his chocolate waffle. I've never seen him eat so fast! I had the goat cheese waffle. I swear to you, I've never had anything so delicious. I can't describe the taste but I can tell you, we'll probably be here every Sunday from now on. And my coffee was super fancy, like you see on TV, so that was cool too. Lol.

Coffee and food is amazing!! I love the light and airy feel inside.

This was the best food I had during my week in Norfolk! Great coffee as well, highly recommend

Second time there. Sunday at lunch time there are barely seats. There are reasons for that: The attention is kind, the coffee is good, and the food is (at least for me) original and super tasty. I consider the price fair. The place is clean, the deco is hipstery and welcoming. I'll be making this my go to for Sundays.
Edit: omg what is on those waffle sandwiches!? Today was DELICIOUS 😍 my new fave Sunday breakfast joint.
