The Virginia Peninsula's Cyber 3-D Cafe Will Hook You Up to the Net

I know that cyber cafes are popular in some areas in the United States, but I honestly hadn't seen one anywhere near where I lived until now. We have one on the Virginia Peninsula, located at 1213-A George Washington Blvd., in Yorktown, Virginia.

The café has a good location, on the front corner of a strip shopping center, which houses several other eating establishments as well. Drive-by traffic is heavy on George Washington Blvd. and the nearby communities often frequent this particular center.

The Cyber 3-D Café is not large, but it doesn't need to be. It focuses primarily on light food, coffee, smoothies and, of course, a computer connection. While some people meet there for a quick bite to eat, the café is primarily frequented by singles. Most of the customers drop by to grab a cup of coffee and chat on the net or get some work done in a relatively quiet atmosphere.

The lighting is excellent because two sides of the café are covered by ceiling to floor glass windows. There are no curtains or shades to inhibit the light. The tables and chairs are comfortable enough to spend a small amount of time there without encouraging customers to linger too long. Some are set up specifically for those not "hooking up" their computer, while others are set up specifically for that purpose. There are setups outside of the café as well.

The décor is simple, done in a coffeehouse motif. It is sleek, uncluttered, and clean.

The café offers standard coffee, both hot and iced tea, bottled water, and canned soda. Their hot specialty coffees include:

Vanilla Café Latte;
Chocolate Mocha;
Bianca Chocolate Mocha;
Hazelnut Mocha;
Caramella Latte;
Milky Way Latte; and
Raspberry Cheesecake Latte.

The regular size is $2.75 while the large is $3.75. They also offer a "build you own" opportunity with any mixture of the following flavors: vanilla, mocha, white chocolate, caramel, raspberry, Irish cream, hazelnut, almond, cinnamon, macadamia nut. Many of their flavors are also available sugar free.

Their cold drinks include the following frappes and smoothies for $2.99 each:
