Zeke's Beans & Bowls
Zeke's Beans & Bowls is a coffee shop in ViBe Creative District, Virginia Beach, located at 616 Norfolk Ave. ViBe District original pouring made-to-order pour-over coffee alongside açai bowls and poke — open to 8pm, long after the espresso bars close.
Zeke's built its following on an unusual triple bill: gourmet pour-over coffee ground to order, açai bowls layered with fresh fruit and granola, and the poke bowls it claims as the only ones in town. The Norfolk Avenue original on the ViBe District's southern edge stays open to 8pm — hours no pure coffee bar in the neighborhood keeps — and shares its block with Back Bay Brewing's Beach House taproom. A second location serves the Pleasure House Road corridor in Bayside.

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 Festival Boardwalk Weekend
September 25, 2026 – September 27, 2026 · annual
Virginia Beach's signature festival closes out September with its 52nd Boardwalk Weekend, spreading across the Oceanfront between 1st and 35th Streets. The headline draw is Neptune's International Sandsculpting Championship — 22 large-scale works by sculptors from around the world — alongside an art and craft show with more than 200 artisans, twenty-plus musical acts across festival stages, the Grand Parade, Neptune's 8K, and a surfing competition at the jetty. Most of it is free to attend, and it reliably fills the resort area for one last big weekend of the season.
