"I have had an amazing experience and one of the best sandwiches of my life. This hidden gem is easily one of my new favorite places to visit. The staff met me with a smile and provided exceptional prompt professional service. Rich and Lucinda Olson thoroughly answered my questions and described the coffee and custom cups available. My handcrafted sandwich was prepared quickly. The sourdough bread had a crisp buttery exterior while keeping the softness of the interior. My BLT had the perfect balance of ingredients. I look forward to visiting again soon to try other items on the menu."

"Just inside this office complex is room 104, with a little sign warning you the Island Cafe is inside. The ordering area is small, but there is a reasonably sized dining area once you've finished ordering. The chef is engaging and pleasant, the staff friendly, and the music well-chosen. Why did I wait until a second paragraph to mention the food? Because it deserves it's own paragraph! The bread is thick and toasted to request. The contents of the sandwiches and subs are generous. The specials are engaging, and the coffee is top-notch. While this is a cafe and not a delicatessen, the desserts are also very tasty. The sides on offer are all either made in-house or carefully curated for both quality and community impact. I strongly suggest eating here if you're nearby for lunch. I know I will, again!"

"I had such a great time at Viking Café — the food was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and you can tell the chefs take real pride in what they serve. The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were spot-on. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was cozy but still had that fun, energetic vibe."

"Wanted to take my daughter out for a quick bite after speech therapy as a mommy and daughter date, and remembered the Viking Cafe after meeting the owners who were super friendly. The cafe is a tucked away gem in Chesapeake! The cafe feels very warm and cozy and definitely family friendly when you enter, 100% good energy and vibes from this place. The girl that took my order and brought me my tea and food was so friendly and accommodating, she deserves a million stars for her hospitality. We got the scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon—and hats off to the chef! The eggs were delicious! Everything on the plate was great. I ordered a sandwich to go for my husband, which they placed in the warmer until I left which was so kind and a nice touch. Will definitely be returning. Recommend to give this place a go. Very positive environment and yummy food! Oh, and the cookies are kid approved!"

"Come raid and pillage the best coffee and food in the area! The staff are very pleasant and very efficient, made me an amazing roast beef sandwich. Top tier quality. The owners are some of the most amazing people you would ever hope to meet. Very understanding and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back!!"
