House of Consciousness/Jikoni Cafe

I love how cozy and Afrocentric the vibe is. The staff is pleasant. I’m not vegan, but their Vegan Philly cheesesteak brought me back‼️ Please get the Vegan Biscoff cheesecake, ona scale from 1-10, I give it a 12!

A very clean, open and relaxing place. All food and special dishes are vegan! Their vegan milkshakes are worth the 30 minute drive!

This is truly one of Norfolk’s hidden gems. But not for long, I’m telling everybody I know about this fabulous place. This is vegan food at its absolute best. And if you want to see customer service and customer appreciation in action? Just drop by and grab some food. You can thank me later.

Easy 10 out of 10 ! The yummiest vegan food I have EVER had ! && I'm excessively particular so that says more than a little bit. Mad flavor, beautiful space, beautiful service. Will visit every time I am in Norfolk!

So I recently purchased some tea ( KeWi) from this establishment. Now I'm all for supporting local businesses. BUT the BUCK stops here! Now I purchased the $31.50 bag of tea. Got home started reading the ingredients. Then BOOM!!! The damn tea expired in 2024.... Please look at the expiration dates for your products. Your items and food are already extremely over priced for the small amount. The funny part is the price on the tea is $30.00. But then you had the nerve to add an extra $1.50 for an expired item.. Shame on YOU! Update..... So I did go on KeWi ( the fabulous locally owned business) website and their teas cap prices are $22.00. Now I don't see the particular tea that I purchased listed on their current website. So you charged an over price of $9.50? Plus the local ( grocery) taxes of $2.18? It's ok.... You can keep the $33.28... But in the future check the oversight of your expired items. 🫣🙂🤗🫢🤭😊😉

I had the Mafuta Black smoothie. It did not disappoint. This is a chill environment. They have a sitting area to eat, a sitting area to read books, incense, black soap, crystals, sage, etc. Very unique shop.

Both of my visits have been good. My father isn’t vegan but has visited multiple times and even suggests it. Our second visit was at 7:25pm on a Friday. We were the only customers since they close at 8pm. It’s great to have good vegan food. Just be aware that there are many books, art work, gemstones, sage, and other things related to certain spiritual practices. We go for the vegan food though. Be prorated to spend a lot of money if you get dessert.
