Delightful cafe with delicious fresh made items. We had the tuna melt and chicken pesto wrap. The sides were excellent, especially the apple slaw. We are looking forward to trying the heath brownie and giant peanut butter cookie both made in house that we took for later.
Atmosphere was nice and service was good. There is outside seating available in nice weather.
Officially one of my favorite places in Virginia.
Extremely welcoming and just a cheery place to relax and have a nice meal. I haven’t tried anything here that has been anything but above and beyond in flavor and presentation. I love everything from how everything is decorated to the freshness of the food. Best key lime pie I have EVER had. Fresh squeezed juices available and lovely drink choices. Will always recommend and always want to come here! We usually go for breakfast on the weekends and get there just early enough to be parked and seated easily. Whenever it is busier or more crowded they do an excellent job of having someone out to direct parking and they are so accommodating and friendly
This was our first time visiting Leaping Lizard Cafe. The food was amazing and decent priced. The waitress was very attentive, and the atmosphere had a nice home ambiance. I got the duck hash. It was outstanding! My parents both ordered the bread pudding dipped french toast, which I sampled a piece, and it was also very delicious. Will definitely return.

Outstanding food, service, and value! All ingredients very obviously fresh and high quality, lots of care clearly put into every menu item being fantastic both in taste and presentation, and generous serving sizes all around. Sangria and blueberry basil mojito were both perfect - excellent balance of taste and strength. Fried green tomatoes and hummus appetizers are both great options - especially love the basil aioli, sundried tomato pesto, and house bread! Both duck tacos and butternut squash lasagna are unique must-tries, amazingly savory and delicious. Reese brownie was an exquisite way to punctuate the meal. First visit, can't wait to come back for brunch sometime!
Update 11/2023 - made it in for brunch, another great experience! Top notch service, sweet potato and ham biscuit excellent, duck hash a must-try. French toast pretty good, maybe a little mushy being made from bread pudding, but hard to complain too much. Apple slaw unique and absolutely fantastic! Key lime pie a must-try as well.
I love this place. The food, drinks, service, atmosphere, and parking is superb!
No valet. However, there was someone to show me where to park due to the small lot.
I usually order off the specials menu. Always unique and tasty. The best brunch place ever!!
We had been recommended this place after moving to Norfolk but it took us awhile to make our way over since it’s not super close to our place; huge mistake, I wish I had come the day I moved here. We came for Sunday brunch and a reservation is definitely a must but even a day or two in advance is pretty doable. Parking is super challenging so if you’ve got a big group, try to carpool and minimize your cars. We ate inside but both indoors and outdoors were cute and cozy. I ordered a blackberry basil mojito which was delicious and so well balanced. We ordered the sweet potato biscuit with ham and jam (a must) and then 5 dishes between the two of us to try at the table/take home. The service was incredibly fast and everyone was welcoming and kind. Everything we ate was fantastic; the cantaloupe was perfectly sweet, all the meats were so flavorful and well cooked. We will absolutely be back many times and bringing all of our guests.
Beautiful place for brunch with outdoor, covered patio and indoor seating options. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is perfect for a beautiful Saturday/Sunday brunch. Note the Leaping lizard appears to be very possible and you will not only have to wait for a seat but also a parking spot. Make sure to give the blueberry biscuit a try, super delicious. Duck hash was a very tasty and unique dish
I'll admit, I've only eaten here 3 times, but each one was great.
A rustic bohemian vibe with a really good menu. I would have liked to have seen some chicken and waffles on there, but the alternatives were good. The French Toast is definitely worth your time.
The garden and outside area is lovely and super comfy. The only issue, and it's a small one, is parking. You'll for sure get a spot, but just be patient and maneuver carefully.
Otherwise, this is a great spot and highly recommend!
On a busy Saturday during brunch we were greeted in the parking lot by the hostess pointing out a space for us. A short wait in the bakery gave time to speculate the layout of the original house. The unique seating areas are charming and hold so much for the eye to see. The service is exceptional and the food! Oh yes, people come for the extensive and varied menu. Whatever you choose include a sweet potato biscuit. You will be disappointed if you don’t! A favorite place whenever we’re in the area!
Overall, a pleasant experience, the food was very delicious, a lot of very fresh ingredients, and new and surprising combinations that were very good and a welcome change to the normal brunch menu.
