My husband & I visited The Local for the 1st time on a day trip from Williamsburg. Upon entering we were greeted by staff behind the counter but also met with obnoxious rap music, the opposite atmosphere we expected. We were not asked if it was our first time or if we needed help. We asked a question about the soup of the day & the staff didn’t know (not a good sign) so yelled back to the kitchen for an answer. We placed our order & then moved tables trying to find a quieter spot. We sat in a window seat with a nice table & cushions. We found dead flies littering the window seat & then, in the 10-15 mins of waiting for our order, we killed half a dozen more flies buzzing about our heads & the window. I know staff saw us struggling & one commented though not sure if she was amused or embarrassed- she didn’t offer a solution or apology. Our food arrived & I found barely a quarter cup of chicken salad on my”fresh local plate”- it’s the smallest portion I’ve ever seen. The chicken salad was over salted but mixed into the greens was palatable. Once I attempted to mix in the chicken salad, I discovered it was covering up spring mix that was past it’s prime & turning rotten- I had to pick out a quarter of the greens & also found a rotten blueberry & strawberry. The dressing was fine & without trying to be rude, I attempted to eat the rest without dissecting it further. This salad was $14.50 which I found a huge ask for the quality & portion. The advertised “house made chicken salad” clearly utilized premade grilled chicken breast- I’ve previously had chicken roasted & prepared in house equating to proper “homemade chicken salad” so that was disappointing. My husband’s sandwich was ok but no staff member followed up to see if our food was ok, ask if we needed anything…and they were standing a few feet away with a clear view of our table…and there were only 2 other people eating in the cafe during our meal. I really wanted to love this place & went out of the way to support a local small business but was completely unimpressed & disappointed by such a mediocre & unwelcoming experience. I could’ve enjoyed a bowl packed with more protein, vegetables & toppings for much less money at Cava- sometimes supporting a small business is a total bust & sadly that was our experience at The Local. Hope mgmt makes changes to improve the experience- it could’ve been 5 stars with some attention to detail & excellence.

A charming, welcoming & your best breakfast/lunch restaurant in Irvington, VA. Here, the great staff know their regular customers, serve the freshest foods to order as you sip on delicious coffee. We enjoyed The Local so much that we returned each day of our stay nearby. While you wait for your delicious breakfast or lunch (best chicken salad ever!) browse through a book from their new “Book Club” selection. Highly recommend: Salmon on bagel, Chicken with salad, Breakfast egg, sausage sandwich. They will also pack for to take on the road.
This establishment has a mission statement as a gathering place, gallery to support local artist, opportunity & fair staff wages, maintain environmentally sustainable presence when possible while delivering quality coffee & freshest ingredients. Bravo to The Local!

Eaten here for breakfast several times over the years. Excellent breakfast options including health-conscious, vegetarian and vegan (but also great sausage and egg sandwiches!) Great coffee/espresso drinks, but a note of caution to make sure you give them a minute to cool – I scalded my tongue last time in my haste to get into my latte!

Overall very reliable, only caution is not to be in a hurry. It’s a small place and they get bogged down with breakfast fish pretty easily. That said the food was worth the wait!

Delicious food! We ate here twice during our stay in white stone and it’s so good! Service is friendly, food is made to order and so yummy. Loved their green smoothie and the vegan breakfast sandwich was truly excellent. We are vegetarians and found lots to order on the menu. Highly recommend!

My wife and I love this place. We went both days we were in town. Much more than a standard coffee shop, excellent food made to order (gluten free offerings for those with allergies), coffee drinks, and merch!

Excellent. Visiting from out of town for work. This is the kind of spot you are looking for if you seek out good food when you travel. Probably going back tomorrow for lunch.

This place is great! It really is a local gem. The food is great with local ingredients (as possible). The coffee is amazing. What really struck me was how friendly the owner was and how adorable the decor is. I love the local artisan goods for sale – art, skin cream, and more. Will definitely be back.

It’s everybody’s favorite local place in Irvington — no wonder they apply named it the Local. It’s a coffee shop with great additional food choices. Yesterday, I got the avocado toast, and my friend got a chia bowl (granola with apple). Both hit the spot. Staff is always cheerful, and it’s a serious go-to place.
