Their coffee is SO GOOD firehouse coffee is my favorite local coffee place. I'm gluten free and I got the chicken salad on lettuce with a side of chips and it tasted amazing. They even were able to give my puppy a little pup cup with a dog treat in it! Very friendly staff! I highly recommend firehouse coffee!!

Awesome coffee shop. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Good coffee. There's no need to go to mainstream/chain coffee shops when there are ones like these. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich was good.

Firehouse Coffee in Hampton is a hidden gem! The coffee is always perfect, the food is fresh and delicious, and the service is warm and welcoming. Easily the best spot in town for a great cup and bite to eat!

Stopped by after a run at Fort Monroe and had a great experience. The staff was super helpful in recommending the perfect drink—a refreshing lavender iced coffee—and the atmosphere was really cool and relaxed. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to!

A hidden gem on Fort Monroe, this is a go to spot for my family and I. Best breakfast sandwiches and honestly the best chicken salad I’ve ever had. It’s made fresh daily, 10/10! It’s a small quaint place with outdoor seating. I am not a coffee drinker but I’ve heard great things about their coffee selection! Highly recommend

Starbucks be damned! This place is the epitome of what a coffee house should be. From the books, board games, and good music regularly playing in the background to the friendliness of the staff and quality of their drinks and snacks, I will never set foot in a chain coffee shop again!! Only real con is a lack of public restrooms, which seems a little counterintuitive when dealing with "regular" coffee drinkers.

Stopped in for afternoon coffee and ice cream with the family. Very personable staff, clean tables and overall welcoming vibe. Prices seem to be somewhat higher than I might expect - but they aren't prohibitive and there's something on the menu for everyone. This place is an asset to Fort Monroe, hope it stays a long time.
