A Cuppa and More at Mea Culpa

Three waffle-style pastries topped with raspberry jam, sliced almonds, and powdered sugar on a gold plate.

Mea Culpa Cafe, Norfolk

No more loading and unloading for Cristina Angelo and Kristopher Harvey of longtime pop-up Waffletina. They have a Park Place home of their own with a first-floor café, Mea Culpa, whose sleek modern style contrasts strikingly against its Rockwellian exterior (white picket fence, wraparound porch).

Along with their beloved Belgian-style waffles, they offer pastries, salads and Three Ships Coffee to start plus mimosa brunches and special dinners to come.

2410 Colonial Ave., Norfolk.
