The soy chai latte I got was pretty good, but I came back a few days later and got a soy latte, which got cold very quickly and the flavoring had sunken to the bottom. There are many coffee shops in Williamsburg to choose from. If you want to try a fan favorite, Aroma's is the place to go.

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!!!

I stood to the side near the sweets to browse and still no "I'll be with you in a minute" While waiting, I noticed the prices of the baklava - $3.95 for a very small triangle. The Turkish delights had a sign that you get 1 free if you buy 5 of $2.95 each. They looked good but I wanted to ask about the ingredients. Well since I wasn't acknowledged, I figured maybe another time ...

The turkish coffee was AMAZING! My husband was raving so much about everything they have. The unique process to their coffee making was awesome to watch. It is traditionally made in sand and that is what they did. The pricing was on point. Lastly, the bakery items. The baklava was fantastic!! So sticky and filled perfectly. This is the perfect location in Williamsburg. You have to go!

Came here to meet someone from Norfolk without having to cross the water. Let me say that…read moreWilliamsburg parking is often a nightmare, but there is a lot in the way of fair-priced parking lots nearby. Everything we had, I would get again. The "chilli eggs" were great. The lamb was so good we saved half just so we could have it later in the day. The lattes were solid, too. For a place where you have to wait in line to pay and have your food brought to you, it is not cheap. But the prices don't feel like you're being gouged either. Just don't expect to get out of there with two people and pay $30 dollars. It will not happen. Also, don't expect quiet. This place is loud. Small rooms with lots of chairs and nothing to cushion the noise. My perfect visit: 1. Have someone order the food and find seating. 2. You go to the dessert place a few doors down and get a medley of treats. 3. If you're two people, order three things and share a bit of each. 4. When you're almost done, order two coffees to go then sit back down. 5. Someone will bring you your coffees and you can walk out with drinks in hand and snack on chocolate covered items as you walk back to your car. 6. Complain that you should have gotten the large coffee and didn't ask for napkins so your fingers are a bit sticky. 7. Drive contentedly home and talk about what your favorite thing was. 8. No, no one is nice about merging back onto that highway, but that's not Hohl's fault.

We both ordered iced teas. I chose the blueberry lavender tea and asked for light lavender. It was really tasty and a nice pick-me-up. Service was prompt and the price was super reasonable. Only "meh" is that they don't have a bathroom directly in the shop, and I did have to make a run for one so that cut the visit a bit short.

It was loaded with corned beef and was still warm but not soggy, surviving the drive home. The staff are friendly and quick. I only had a short wait before my sandwich was ready. Any longer and I would have caved and gotten a slice of cake from the dessert case I was ogling while I waited. I'll definitely be back for another Reuben, but also to try their breakfast sandwiches and latkes.

I may be a bagel snob. I didn't really like the taste of their onion bagels. I don't know how to…read moredescribe the difference. They are big bagels though. The best bagels are in Charlottesville--Bodos bagels. I suggest The Jewish Mother take a trip and try what many consider to be the best bagels ever! I have no affiliation other than I'm a frequent customer of Bodos. The service was very good. Especially since I had a credit gift card that had to be entered manually. The staff were patient. It's a grab and go place. So scope out a place to sit outside if you want to eat right away.

You can grab a sandwich (lots of great options) and their house dressing alone is worth the stop. Seriously delicious. But the real fun is the cheese counter. You can build your own cheese board, browse all their incredible cheeses and charcuterie options, and then... here's the best part... Take everything downstairs to the cellar, order a glass (or bottle) of wine, and just enjoy. No rush. No fuss. Just good food, good wine, and a great atmosphere. It's one of those spots that feels like an experience, not just a meal. Fun, relaxed, and so, so yum. If you're in Colonial Williamsburg, don't skip this one. Grab cheese, grab wine, and settle in -- you'll be glad you did.

I also tried one of their chocolate chip cookies and a brookie and they were both delicious! Will get those again! Loved that on a busy Sunday lunch time that they had an employee greeting everyone and telling them how the ordering process works and directing people to where they ahold go! Made everything so efficient! No seating inside but plenty outside! Also lots of yummy treats and food items to look at inside while waiting for your sandwich to be prepared!
