I absolutely love the Captain’s Den; the atmosphere is always so welcoming and fun. The food is amazing, the board games make it such a great place to hang out and laugh with friends, and the music is totally my vibe. It’s just one of those spots where you can relax, enjoy yourself, and make the best memories.

They don't skimp on portions! Food is great every time. This time, we got the club, roast beef on foccacia, and a mango smoothie. We've also tried the breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich on croissant, breakfast platter, and the honey do latte, which were all also great.

I ordered through DoorDash. The food was AMAZING!! I got the S’mores Latte, the Reuben Sandwich, and the chicken tenders with fries. The next time I get food from here, I’m going to sit inside. I’m sure the atmosphere and service would match the great food! We live in Hampton so it took awhile for the food to get here, but everything was packed nicely and the food was still mildly hot when we got it!! That was the best Reuben sandwich I had in a long time!! The chicken tenders were nice and crusty on the outside, and tender on the inside. The hand-cut fries were delicious!! The S’mores Latte tasted awesome, but I know it would’ve tasted more like s’mores if I would’ve gotten it at the actually facility. I would recommend going here 100%.

Very neat coffee shop. The muffins are reasonably priced and delicious. The coffee choices available are great. I enjoyed their iced tea. The French fries are hand cut and amazing! Glad we tried this place.

There are two things that a cafe needs to stand out: A design aesthetic that captures its personality of what it wants to convey and fast service for food & drinks. The Captain’s Den meets both perfectly. I got the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich, one of the many unique sandwich choices they offer on their breakfast menu. It was a great amount of food for $10+ dollars around here — at least based on my experience. I recommend the cafe and the waffle sandwich. If you are craving something more like a lunch or dinner meal, there is another menu that offers a bunch of choices that fit those needs. This is a great place to stop by and grab a coffee and snack. There are a good amount of tables, couches and board games for you and a few friends to play.

We were out of town and looking for a breakfast place the day before Thanksgiving. Every place we went to was closed. We found this place across from Christopher Newport and decided to go here. It definitely has a college atmosphere, but the food is delicious. Several of us got the breakfast platter, which consisted of scrambled eggs, Texas toast, potato casserole, and bacon. My daughter got a croissant sandwich with sausage and egg. They have a wonderful coffee section, and the coffee drinks were wonderful.

The food is great! The coffee seems way more authentic than Starbucks, fries are perfect, and menu items are priced appropriately for the size and quality. The staff was very friendly. They have couches and different sizes and height tables. They have games and books avaliable while you're there. Food came out very quickly too!

Nice little cafe, bakery, coffee shop located right next to CNU college in Newport News. food and drinks are tasty and service was excellent. Open at 7:30 recommended you come by and grab a bite if you’re around they also have beer, lunch and dinner! Btw the breakfast quesadilla is pretty big you could share it with someone if you’re not too hungry.
