I'm a big fan of buying local honey and they have a wide variety of flavors from different farms around Virginia! The restaurant part of the business is phenomenal too! The food is fresh, mostly made to order, and tastes amazing, definitely give the tallow fries a try!! They have a wide variety of seating areas where you can enjoy your food, in the farmer's market area at a picnic table, or outside at a cute little coffee table, or in the greenhouse surrounded by lush plant life (my personal favorite). The staff is friendly, they wont bother you while you browse, but they are happy to answer any questions. Overall, I think this is a FANTASTIC community place (which we don't have many of these days), perfect for a fun road trip break, a quiet lunch, or a relaxing place away from school for college students nearby!

They also have the best prices around, even beating out some grocery stores (and taste that can't even be compared). Stop in; you will not be disappointed!

We ordered sandwiches (sun-dried ham panini, breakfast sandwich), coffee and shared a cinnamon roll as a treat- it was wonderful! I would definitely recommend cinnamon bear for a yummy lunch or for a baked treat with coffee!

I went randomly on a Friday , but would definitely go back right as they open to get a better selection. I grabbed an oat loaf because I was intrigued by oats being in a loaf. Super moist and good.

Being the mom of a freshman who is 3hrs away learning how to navigate special days where you can't be present is new and can be a challenge. Of course I sent a care package full of treats, but I wanted her to also have something fresh. I ordered a box that came with six cupcakes, two cookies and half a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. This was a large enough box for her to share with her friends (highly doubt this happened. My girl loves sweets lol) or to keep her satisfied all weekend lol. Ordering was easy and delivery was a breeze. They checked in with me the day before to confirm the delivery time and even snapped a really cute picture of her holding her surprise. I definitely plan on visiting them in person on my next visit to the Burg. If you're looking for a few sweet treats, I'd highly recommend Sweet Joy's.
