I've visted this place multiple times. They kindly greet everyone that walks in, it's very welcoming. The atmosphere is inviting and looks like a great place to just hang out. Their coffee and baked goods are delicious. My absolute favorite thing about this coffee shop, is that the drinks are consistent! They taste the same every time, I love love love that! So good!

Legit women, family, and AAPI (Asian and Pacific Islander) owned business that is bringing a little taste of their Samoan culture to the 757 here in Norfolk. Tucked right in the little neighborhood Walmart Shopping behind McDonald’s, Thrift Store City, and Romantic Kingdom. This place is a must-try if you’re on East Little Creek road.
They have a diverse menu ranging not only coffee and tea but on top of matcha, Italian sodas, lotus energy drinks, smoothies, milk teas etc. with pastries and food. There’s a little something for everyone with an island flair.
We ordered from their Valentine’s Day menu which happened to be Taylor Swift themed. My lady got the Wildest Dream (White Chocolate Rasberry mocha) and I opted for their Champagne Problems (rose and strawberry latte).
As a college student, the coffee is the type of coffee you drink without the jitters yet still gives you the sustained energy you need to get through your day. It was so clean, fresh, not too sweet. Just perfect. The strawberry/raspberry flavors were an additional element that blended seamlessly with our coffee which made it enjoyable to the palette that keeps you wanting more.
I literally want to try everything on the menu. Their lotus drinks look delicious, I also want to try their chai, matcha, and smoothies bc anytime a cafe offers those categories I get excited that it even is an option so yeah we’re definitely coming back.
Try Apelu the next time you’re on East Little Creek and try for yourself. Tons of Natural sunlight beaming into the store. Beautiful interior design. Makes you feel like you’re at a welcoming cafe. All the employees, I assuming the family and friends are super friendly and look happy to be there. The gentle lavender color scheme suits the brand well. Bathrooms were my favorite part. Look, I never been to a place that had diapers in their bathrooms. This is great for growing families and women. I felt seen being here. A type of place where anyone at any age can come. Great location, with plenty of parking, things to do around the area. Go see for yourself.
