Three Ships Coffee Roasters
Three Ships Coffee Roasters is a coffee shop in ViBe Creative District, Virginia Beach, located at 607 19th St. The ViBe District's flagship third-wave roaster, importing and roasting top-lot beans in-house with a Norwegian-influenced light-roast style.
Three Ships is the roaster that put Virginia Beach on the specialty-coffee map: a third-wave operation influenced by the Pacific Northwest scene and Norwegian roasting methods, importing top-lot beans from around the world and roasting them in-house. The Old Beach cafe on 19th Street sits in the heart of the ViBe Creative District and pours until 6pm daily — late for this town — with a second cafe at 612 Jack Rabbit Road serving the Hilltop side of the city.

Upcoming Events Nearby
Old Beach Farmers Market
July 11, 2026 – October 31, 2026 · weekly (Saturdays 9am–noon April–October; 1st & 3rd Saturdays November–March)
The ViBe District's Saturday-morning market runs every week from April through October, 9am to noon at 611 18th Street, with local produce, seafood, baked goods, and Virginia wines from area farms and makers. When the regular season ends in late October it doesn't disappear — a winter schedule continues on the first and third Saturdays through March. Parking is easiest in the Runnymede lots on Cypress Avenue or the convention center lot.
First Friday ViBe
August 7, 2026 – October 2, 2026 · monthly (first Fridays, May–October)
On the first Friday of each month from May through October, the ViBe Creative District opens up from 6 to 10pm with local artist pop-ups, live music, open mic sets, and DJs — a chance to meet the makers and muralists who give the district its character. It's the ViBe at its most ViBe: deliberately local, a few blocks inland from the boardwalk crowds. Park in the ViBe lot on 18th Street or at the Oceanfront Library; the season's remaining 2026 dates run through early October.
Neptune's Coastal Craft Beer Festival
August 15, 2026 · annual
The Neptune Festival's 11th annual beer afternoon takes over 31st Street Park with more than 60 beers from around 30 breweries, heavy on the coastal Virginia scene. Two bands play through the 3–8pm session and local food trucks handle the eating. It's a compact, single-day festival — an easy add-on to a mid-August beach day, a block off the boardwalk at Neptune's Park.
