Fathom Coffee

Love the coffee & friendly staff Highly recommend!

I had the opportunity today to try Fathom Coffee's most excellent locally roasted single source coffee while attending an early morning local business networking event at 1701 Virginia Beach Coworking. The brew was delicious and smooth and I am kicking myself now for not buying some before I left the event. I will be returning soon and I will definitely be bringing home some of their excellent roasted coffee beans when I do.

Great coffee,check it out!! Nice selection for Joe Lovers!!

Visit our friends at #FathomCoffee and ask for the 1957 blend and try their other amazing flavors! #contesbikeshopvb #someonenamedstefan

My favorite coffee is Fathom Coffee-smooth, flavorful, and with wonderful aromas. I drink my coffee black and Fathom Coffee is the bean for me!
The people inside the coffeeshop are always ready to share their love of coffee with you. Friendly and knowledgeable, there is a perfect exchange of information going on while they do the "pour-overs". The perfect way to start your day...

I am not surprised this place has five stars. The service is fantastic, the vibe is perfect. I went here on a whim and it brightened up my whole day. Beautiful patio in the back to chill and nice coffee too

Absolutely lovely, a must see on the beach! Smoothest decaf latte and kind service. Hope to be back soon!

Very nice cup of coffee. Lovely friendly staff.

I really needed to edit my original review, as I got a (much longer) chance to play with the Poseidon Espresso. As I messed around with the grind and ratios, I finally hit the sweet spot with extraction.

And I had to lift my review from four stars to five. I can admit when I’m wrong. ;)

I can truly say, I pull an outstanding double espresso with Fathom Poseidon Espressos! I’m not even using a Breville Oracle Touch (as stated on the back of the jar), but that’s pretty close to a “god shot”!

———————-Original Review———————-

Fathom Coffee is a great addition to the Virginia Beach coffee culture! I’ve been looking for a locally roasted coffee bean, that fits my pallet, every sense I got stateside from Italy. And, Fathom Coffee has hit the nail on the head, not just with proper roast and an ingenious method of off-gassing their beans, the flavor was spot on (with some grinder adjustments). The Fathom Poseidon Espresso, was very well balanced in terms of flavor. And the customer service at Fathom Coffee...absolutely wonderful.

No product has ever reached perfection. Anyone that believes that their product is perfect, is lying to themselves. So, here are a couple possible points for improvement.

1. Espresso is normally without oil. Oil in coffee affects the ability to achieve crema, which is important to most people (not all) in the espresso world. Crema adds to the visual appeal of espresso, but nothing really in terms of flavor, it is just foam, really. The more oil, the less crema. The Poseidon Espresso, contained small traces of oil, so it’s a little lighter on the crema.

2. On my normal espresso grind setting of “3.2” using an OXO grinder), Poseidon Espresso came out a little on the lighter side. But after going a little finer than normal, I got the punch to the tastebuds I was looking for. I would have liked to see a little bit more strength in flavor.

Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase, and I will be a returning customer! I’m very excited to try more of the Bob Werby creations at Fathom Coffee! Thank you for a great product!

Awesome coffee and best staff!
