    Biggest coffee shop I've ever been in. Loved the atmosphere. Staff were friendly and the coffee was good. A lot of seating and food options. Great place for a big group. A little pricey, but I'd go back.

    Premium Italian

    I had visited Column 15 for coffee before but this was my first meal there. We each had a panini board. I chose the Premium Italian which had just the right balance of salty prosciutto with fresh mozzarella, roasted tomatoes and spinach. My partner had the Raspberry Ham and thought it was delicious. We sat outside because it was a lovely day. The restaurant offers counter service only.

    Flight of nitro

    We walked in and we were immediately greeted. The menu was a bit overwhelming - so many great options to choose from. The space is huge. It's very inviting and community oriented with couches, table and chairs and individual work spaces. We had the classic nitro flight- including butterbeer, snickerdoodle, Milky Way, and honeybee (good). The one with chocolate syrup on top was less than appealing bc of the syrup taste. FYI each mini beverage had a lot of added syrups. Maybe ask for 1/2 the amount if you don't like sweet coffee drinks . We had pancakes and a breakfast sandwich. Good and reasonably priced!! I'd come back but wouldn't get the flight again. It was too sweet for me.

    Had this coffee spot on my radar for a while and it did not disappoint. This place has a huge seating area and it's a whole vibe. I got the nutcracker latte off the winter menu and it was sooo good! The ladies at the counter were super helpful and service was fast. I'll be back for a coffee flight next time!

    Nice large area for people to gather, study, relax, mingle. As you enter there's an area where you order and wait sitting on benches. Clear view into kitchen, on a Saturday at 5:30pm the kitchen's closed - and they're open until 7pm. Service is friendly. So my thing is the offerings ( how unique or special that sets this cafe apart, the taste of their coffee concoctions) and value for what you pay. Thru havd flights , comes in 5 different flavors but I didn't order since I found out it's all the same coffee taste, just difference in toppings. It's $3 per small drink in a flight. So I just picked one flavor ftlm their flight and ordered it as an individual drink. I ordered the maple mummy. Not stellar. It actually had hints of apple (that was weird). And I could order 12 or 20 oz. I should have ordered smaller because it cost me more than $10!!!

    Really cool place. First time having their coffee in the actual location. Other times was at the farmers market downtown. The coffee is really good and this place is actually fairly large so lots of people doing business, etc.. The big negative I would give it is that the service was excruciatingly slow..... it's like the workers are moving in slow motion. We waited for like 30 minutes to get two coffees and there was only a handful of people in line before us.

    Wow! I visited Column 15 for the first time today (9.12.25) and can't fully express how amazing the service was! Emily was extremely knowledgeable of their many drink offerings (especially the seasonal ones). I can be very indecisive and had no idea what to choose. She patiently steered me to their seasonal "Toil & Toffee" iced latte, based on my preferences. It was DELIGHTFUL! The cherry on top was the ambiance of this coffee shop. It's cozy, clean, and spacious. I love it here!

    Superb coffee if you're visiting Williamsburg, VA! Nestled in a strip mall with plentiful free parking, Column 15 includes a wide space with outdoor seating. The interior is pleasant and open. I ordered a Cafe Americano on a Sunday afternoon which was lovely in providing a sorely needed caffeine rush. On Monday morning, I returned for a regular drip coffee with a splash of whole milk. Be sure to stop by in the morning after the pastries arrive. While the service on Sunday was a bit slow, it was stellar on early Monday morning!

    Coffee is ok but there was a huge line and it's expensive. The food was mediocre and it took over 20 minutes to get a toasted bagel with ham and cheese on it. They had an issue and lost our order so I got free coffee coupons. I came back now over a year later and got a coffee that was good and free.l but I ordered another sandwich and honestly I would have been better off going to Panera or McDonalds even. The kitchen here is definitely an afterthought.

    Always an amazing experience going to column 15. We had friends in town and knew they'd enjoy a yummy flight. The new summer flight was delicious and crafted very well. The baristas definitely take a lot of pride in their work. The new, larger space is a great addition as well.

    Column 15 has recently expanded their space and had a grand re-opening. They have doubled in size which will be great for all the guests. I know they like to host events as well, so having a bigger space will be great for that. For their grand re-opening they gave everyone a feee drink. It was so generous and kind. My husband had an iced coffee and I tried their summer breeze which is one of their spring specials. As usual the drinks were delicious. Can't wait to go back and try some more of their yummy drinks in their newly expanded and updated space.

    I came in to enjoy an evening coffee! The service was amazing!! The atmosphere in the coffee shop is so eclectic! The mood is chill' My Nitro Crème Cold Brew was perfect! I would absolutely return. The ladies were also so sweet and helped me as it was my first time here!

    I love coming to column 15! The space is beautifully decorated and is a great place to get some work done or read a book! There is a wide selection of food & drinks, I especially love their seasonal menus! And the baristas are always kind and helpful! Rae always makes me the best lattes!!!! She is so knowledgeable and gives the best drink suggestions!!

    Extremely underrated. I've never been to another coffee shop that has frozen ice balls of coffee to put into coffee.

    Met up with a friend and tried their drink of the week which was absolutely delicious! I wish I…read morecould remember the name but it had coconut milk and some cherry flavor and just great for a hot day! Also tried their maple pecan cookies and I was surprised how good they were! The brownie was a little too rich for my taste but I will just get more cookies next time! Service was good and it's a little tight in the space when it is busy, because it is a popular spot with the college students and those visiting Williamsburg, and hey even us locals!

    Dinning Experience: 2/5 Coffee: 4/5…read moreFood: 3/5 Prior to eating at this location, we had died across the street and thought it'd be nice to give it a try based on the outward experience and the folks sitting out in front at the sidewalk tables. It looked to have a good vibe, but once we walked in, we realized it was a coffee shop that served food. You have to get in line grab a menu and place your order. Any coffee, water or juice juices are delivered on the right side of the bar and the food is delivered on the left side of the bar. And what I mean delivered that's where you have to go to pick it up. The food is served on Small paper plates so you will lose some of your food as you try to cut or move it.. I ordered the breakfast platter which was scrambled eggs, choice of meat, potatoes, and toaste. My partner had the cheese omelette with sourdough toast. There was nothing special or extraordinary about the food. With the small paper plates that they use food easily fell onto the table top. They don't offer water in a cup, but rather you can buy a bottle of water. If you didn't realize that after you ordered, you have to go back and get in line so that you purchase your water. (We assumed they had water/cups to use). We left felling unsatisfied.

    Sophia and I arrived here on Friday morning since we had the day off due to the holiday. The last…read moretime we were here was probably a year and a half ago. All the previous times were all excellent with the food and beverages ordered. Let's see if this visit continues the good luck. We were immediately greeted by the staff and promptly seated. To my surprise, they completely remodeled the restaurant. Going from 9 tables to close to 30 and looking gorgeous from head to toe. For the entire hour we were there, it was a sight that I can't forget. Congrats to Tipsy Beans for this :) Enough gloating about the interior. Let's discuss the food. My beverage was a large iced Mud Turtle latte and my meal was a meat lovers omelet with mushrooms added (for only 25 cents extra). Everything was excellent. The latte wasn't too sweet which was very good for me. And their tall glass (which is new for remodeling) was really cool. The omelet was cooked perfectly with the protein and veggies all coming together. A home run all around. Thank you Tipsy Beans for making us feel at home. Top notch service to go with a wonderful meal to start the morning. We'll be back again soon :)

    They recently added on and opened back up, which is great because they needed more seating!…read more Had brunch/lunch here with friends and we all enjoyed our meals! I had a club sandwich and it was good, the bread could have been a little more toasted, but not a big deal! My friend enjoyed her avocado toast. My other friend thought her drink was a little too sweet for her tastes but just be sure to ask how sweet the beverages are before ordering if you are interested in a sweet beverage! We sat in the back new area and it's a little less light back there. Service was good even on a busy morning! I didn't like how they charged for bbq sauce for my fries! I know times are tough but really?

There is parking right next to the building or a pay to park parking lot across the street. The first two hours in the lot are free. ***EXPERIENCE*** We ordered the lychee oolong tea and the matcha milk tea with crystal boba and mango. My lychee oolong tea tasted just like fresh lychee! I will say it's brewed on the stronger side, so was a bit more bitter than I was hoping, but it was really refreshing. This is a wonderful spot to get some work done. They have strong wifi and lots of outlets. I appreciate the natural lighting in this space. ***PRICE*** Depending on what type and size of drink you get, prices range from $5-8. ***BATHROOM*** This spot shares a bigger building with other businesses. There isn't a bathroom in the actual Secret Garden space, but if you exit through their bigger building, you can find Women and Men restrooms not too far away. There are a few stalls in the Womens. ***CONCLUSION*** There is an extensive list of things you can order here! There is something for everyone. It's a great spot to meet up with a friend and get some work done.
