Discovered this indie coffee shop in Williamsburg near Busch Garden exit off Merrimac when I was…read moredown for a brief visit and OMG - BIGGGGG LOVE!!! So much to love about this new discovery besides the fact that it's NOT a Starbucks lol and for those that know me, you know I love and love to support and discover tucked away indie coffee places (see my reviews!). This place is also a roastery and sells their own bean blends. I don't know the history behind the shop and name but was told it is chemistry themed and owned by W&M alum - yassssss! Service is SUPER friendly and excellent so that's a bonus! I lovvvvvvve that the latte menu is chock full of super creative seasonal flavors - so many to choose from!! I stopped by twice while in town and staying just down the street. Had a hot Rose Macaron latte and the next day had the Lemon Bar. Both were DELICIOUS. NOT OVERLY SWEET BUT WITH SUBTLE FLAVORS AND BOLD ESPRESSO TASTE. NOTTTTTT WIMPY WEAK. Both days I had the OG Bacon Egg Cheese sando on an ET bagel that was a decent accompaniment to my seasonal lattes which were clearly the stars of the show. I was there during the week - once mid afternoon, the other day late morning and it was not crowded at all both days. The seating area is HUGE. 2 separate adjacent rooms - walk through the front ordering area and you'll find a large, super cozy and inviting "living room" type space with comfy couches, armchairs, dining tables with chairs and even cubes for studying. Dark and moody vibes. SUPER COZY, RELAXING AND KEPT VERY CLEAN AND TIDY. The other seating area has a bunch of tables and chairs, lots of windows, brighter and more conducive for gathering. I took and posted a bunch of pics and some vids so check them out. So glad to have discovered this coffee spot and gem! Will definitely be back when I visit Williamsburg again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

So that's when I found this really good latte flight. I highly recommend it! You get it hot or cold. They have food. A cool looking fish tank.

If I live closer, I would come here way more often!

She and the barista were very kind and quick to serve our coffee. Ambiance: small interior with more indoor space that appears to be for events, as well as outdoor seating with a small garden in the back. There's also a huge polaroid collection of dogs (and a cat) on the wall for people that have visited with their pets. So cute!

Cool vibe, bit of a modern industrial roaster aesthetic. Staff were patient, professional, and provided good recommendations. I went with a Rwandan special pour over, one of my nephews got the hot chocolate, my daughter and another nephew each got iced caramel lattes. It was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed seats in their beautiful garden area. The Rwandan was served at optimal temperature and was complex and delicious! My daughter and nephews enjoyed their drinks as well. I will certainly return!

Their pastries are all fantastic and my favorite is the cookies and cream pastry. I usually order my regular, an iced Americano with oat milk, and it's delicious every time. I also started getting the smoked trout spread with focaccia, which has been a great dish to snack on while finishing up work. In addition to the smoked trout spread, they offer bagels with different cream cheese spreads, a kale Caesar, and their popular tiramisu dessert. The staff are always friendly and will bring your drink to you if you decide to sit down. I also like that they stopped offering free Wi-Fi on the weekends. It promotes a space that helps people be more present, and I love that.

Um YES PLEASE!!!…read more This was a last minute decision to stop when we were on our way back from the farmers market and BOY am I glad we stopped in! Buckroe coffee was one of the best coffee shops I've been to in quite some time, too bad it's on the other side of the water from our house! Walking in you can tell it was once a bank, LOVE older buildings and stories like this! The atmosphere inside was amazing, there were all different types of customers enjoying conversation, working, and just enjoying time in their 3rd place. I ordered a blended mocha frappe. PERFECT on the hot day! My daughter ordered a lemon & white chocolate latte and it was one of the best she has had (and like her mother, she does love her coffee and is VERY picky) My husband went the non coffee route and ordered a Mango smoothie and found it refreshing and finished it in the car on the way home. If you are on the hampton side of the water I highly recommend you stopping at Buckroe coffee. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to head back up to the farmers market so I can stop here again on the way home :)

What a pleasant surprise!…read moreI was welcomed upon entering and the cashier was extremely helpful with what to choose for my first visit. I substituted oat milk in my crème brûlée latte and it was a great substitution without changing the taste of the drink. Not too sweet. My breakfast sandwich was nice and flavorful. Croissant crispy and light, cheese nicely melted. I would have liked my bacon consistently crispy but it didn't take away from the quality or taste at all. Now the açaí bowl...wow! As soon as I lifted the lid, I could smell the fresh fruits. It was a great balance of fresh ingredients. This was my favorite item. Great value for the price and I can't speak enough on the freshness of the ingredients. 100% returning!!

My husband and I are regulars at Big Ugly but I've never taken the opportunity to try Taxus Street until this week. I tried to come on Monday and quickly learned they were closed, so returned the following day. They operate inside the brewery and have a nice setup in the corner. There is lots of seating - bars and high tops - and it's a great spot for a morning gathering. There was a meeting in the upstairs loft happening during my visit. The barista who assisted me was working solo. She was super friendly and happy to answer my questions. I was glad to hear they offer decaf espresso. I opted to try one of their seasonal lattes - the Mounds Bar latte with almond milk, mocha and coconut cold foam. It took only a few minutes for my order to be prepared. I did find the drink to be slightly sweet for my taste and would ask for half sweet on my next visit. For the lactose intolerant, they have almond and oat milk options. They also have several pastries and some hot food options to choose from like overnight oats and breakfast burritos from Burrito Perdido. I was really pleased with my recent visit and I'll be happy to come back soon!

It came with tomatoes, something else I never had on my sandwich. Something wasn't quite right about it, I didn't realize, but their bagels are just meh, they certainly are not NY quality. I had their cream cheese and bagels. I like poppy seed bagels best. There was way too much poppy seeds and the taste just wasn't great. I did have their potato knish, that was yummy. I tried to get that on my last day there and they were sold out. I asked for latkes, also sold out. I didn't try their reuben, if was staying longer I would have tried that. Weekends are very busy and no seating. They do have Dr. Brown sodas, so they do follow some tradition. I just wish they would get better quality bagels. But I still think it's definitely a worthwhile visit. Great location.
