Feast on Fall Flavors in Downtown Norfolk

Comfort-food season is upon us, and Downtown Norfolk's restaurants and coffee shops are ready for it! We've pulled together some of the must-have crave-worthy fall favorites for you here so you can welcome the coziest season with open arms. 

1.) Get your slurp on at The Stockpot Norfolk's Ramen Night

The Stockpot Norfolk's fall menu has plenty of belly-warming dishes, but we are particularly loving their classic Wednesday Ramen Night. After all, what is fall without some warm, savory soup to cozy up to?

2.) Cozy Up to s'mores in a mug with the Fired Up! Blend

Richport Coffee has teamed up with S'mores Amore to bring you a perfect blend to go with your s'mores blondies or brownies. The “GET FIRED UP!” Blend is 100% Colombian Coffee with flavors of Toasted Marshmallow, Chocolate, and Cinnamon. Grab 2oz or 8oz bags from S'mores Amore in Selden Market

3.) Shake up your PSL with Cure Coffeehouse's Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Latte

Cure Coffeehouse, in the Freemason District, offers the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte for fans of the original, but invites you to mix things up by trying their Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake latte for a little more autumnal adventurousness. 

4.) Enjoy some ooey-gooey comfort food at Grilled Cheese Bistro

Local favorite Grilled Cheese Bistro's fall menu leans even further into the comfort-food status of a classic grilled cheese, introducing pork belly, apple jam, and more seasonal flavors into the equation.

5.) Add some kick to your coffee with a flight of Hair of the Dog's boozy lattes

Hair of the Dog celebrates the coziest season with boozy coffee creations, like this coffee flight packed with fall flavors, including French Toast, S’mores, Salted Caramel, and (of course) Pumpkin Spice. Check out their whole menu during your next brunch outing! 

6.) Explore Cafe Genevieve's new fall menu

Visiting Cafe Genevieve, located in the Selden Market, is like a taking a Parisian getaway without ever leaving Downtown Norfolk. Visit the French inspired bakery to try their scrumptious Fall macron flavors: pumpkin spice, salted caramel, and the return of crème brûlée.

7.) Stick-to-your-ribs Southern food with a French twist at Syd's FishPig Cafe

Nothing says Fall quite like warm, savory comfort food, and Syd's FishPig Cafe has exactly what you're looking for. The charming restaurant has a vibe all it's own, just as eclectic as Chef Sydney Meers himself. The menu changes often, but you can count on an amazing experience every time. Get your reservations by calling 757-904-3680.

8.) Cool down on those warm fall days with Shake It Up's Fall shakes

Sometimes in Norfolk, a beautiful Fall day can still be 90° out. Get your pumpkin spice fix while still beating the heat at Shake It Up inside Selden Market. Chill out with some creatively decadent Pumpkin Cheesecake or Pumpkin Maple Coffee milkshake creations all season long.

9.) Try something a little different at Virginia Cheese Company

Ooey gooey comfort food with all the flavors of Fall: Virginia Cheese Company is taking zucchini bread and making it into a grilled cheese sandwich — with pumpkin. Grab their Fall Petite Grilled Cheese, with delicious Shallot Zucchini Bread, a schmear of pumpkin, Parmigiano Reggiano and Dubliner Cheddar.
