When I inadvertently ordered a drink that I couldn't actually have, the baristas just made me a new one, no complaints (even though the error was mine!). The menu is full of interesting drink options, and none of them include cow's milk - all of their milks are plant-based, which I really appreciated! I would definitely stop by this coffee shop again when in Fredericksburg.

We went to the store before hitting the bookstore an a couple of sustainable stores nearby. Their latte menu is huge and they can make a lot of different combinations of lattes. They also have cafe affogato which I wanted to try but chickened out since it was early in the day for that much sugar. I got the pistachio white chocolate mocha latte and since it was their birthday, they had free whipped topping and sprinkled with all drinks. I got the whipped topping on my iced coffee and it was amazing! I could taste the nutty flavor of pistachio and also the white chocolate. They didn't fill up the cup with ice and give very little drink which I also appreciated. They also had pastries and some food items but the food menu is relatively small. I'll come back for coffee when I'm in the area for sure.

My wife and I were running errands on the Martin Luther King Jr holiday, and we decided to take a…read morebreak and have some lunch. As usual, my wife started looking for a place we haven't been before. Having been in Fredericksburg now for almost 2 1/2 years, the list of such places is getting shorter. We were out Route 3 west of 95, and she found a place called Affogato Europa Cafe. It's a family-run cafe and bakery featuring pastries, sandwiches, coffees, and lots of other sweets. It was a very clean, friendly looking place. We looked at the menu and my wife decided to have a Beef and Onion Burek, which is a traditional Balkan flaky pastry filled with, in this case, beef and onions. It was fantastic. Very flavorful and the pastry melted in your mouth. I'm a sucker for anything with the word "breakfast" in it. I had the Balkan Breakfast Panini. This marvelous sandwich contains egg, chorizo, cheese spread, provolone, tomato, and arugula. It was outstanding and the chorizo was very tasty (though a bit hard to bite through). I know I love a sandwich when after I put the last bite in my mouth, I feel a little sad because it is all done. Such was the case here. My wife had a Cortado espresso, which she loved but was a bit strong for me. I had a London Fog, which seemed like a latte with a hint of Earl Gray tea. I loved it, and when my wife tasted it she pronounced it "nummy". She doesn't use that word a lot so when she does I know she loves it. After lunch we split a Lava Cake, which is a small but decadent chocolate cupcake. The dining room was small but comfortable. The servers we encountered at the counter were very friendly. Rest room was very clean. It's not really close to us, but when were shopping out on Route 3, we'll certainly try them again.

This has been our go-to for a little energy boost as we are passing on the I-95. It is located…read moreacross from the Waffle House on Warrenton Rd and next to the Sleep Inn Hotel on Iras Ln. It's a nice little stand alone coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a drive-thru. Immediately upon pulling into their well maintained parking lot, the exterior drew us in with a modern aesthetic and clean textured appearance. The inside continues the same appeal with their various seating arrangements and displays. We love, support, and appreciate their mission (evidenced by their merch & decor), which is to serve coffee and culture to those who love America. The service has always been phenomenal--friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We've come at less busy times so we haven't had to wait in line or wait long for our order to be fulfilled. They offer 5 signature beverages, aptly called "Hero Beverages, which consist: Liberty Bell (caramel & vanilla), Betsy Ross (wild blackberry & white mocha), Jet Fuel (spiced brown sugar & energy boost), 1776 (sea salt toffee caramel & mocha), and Smokey Joe (hickory smoke). These are available iced or hot. My go-to is the Liberty Bell. They also offer some tasty treats, sweet and savory. We've enjoyed their blueberry muffin and their sausage & egg on a waffle. I find that some of their food items have usually run out or have changed since our last visit. Granted, we usually get here mid-morning or later in the afternoon. There are 2 individual restrooms available, which are usually clean and well maintained. Overall, we enjoy stopping by this place for our little pick-me-up as we're passing through on our long trips. We also appreciate that we can support a business that are committed to upholding our military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders.

Bagels and pastries are of excellent quality with prices reflecting this. Anita's is a consistent treat for me; I love the European influences and dog-friendly atmosphere. Service is solid, though, the name-yelling system falls apart a bit when it's a common name on a busy day. As for coffee -- it's good, not life-changing, though, I've never had a drink I did not like; it is simply a bit above average compared to what's in the area. Absolute gem in Fredericksburg with a beautiful brief walk to the riverwalk.

Delightful desserts and a cozy café vibe!!!!!!!!…read more Anita's Cafe & Dessert Bar is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy something sweet. The desserts were fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in flavor--not overly sweet, just right. The drink options paired nicely with the treats and were made with care.

Staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which added to the overall charm of the place. Overall, Anita's Cafe & Dessert Bar delivers quality desserts, great service, and a lovely ambiance. A well-deserved five-star spot that I'd happily visit again.
