Excellent cafe overall, would give 4.5/5 if possible…read more Food is elevated beyond what is in the area, with options rivaling D.C. 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. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax with friends or enjoy a quiet moment. 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.

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.

Inside you'll find a very cozy mom and pop shop where you can find all sorts of treats from pies cakes cookies and especially donuts. I was sent this location from someone in the area for a request of donuts but when I got there I decided to try a little bit of everything. Donuts are delicious and taste fresh and their chocolate chip cookies are very good with the homemade feel. Service is exactly what you'll expect where the clientele are asking for the owner by name. Definitely recommend if you're in the area

I LIVE for this dish. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory in a creamy white sauce. I honestly wish they served it year-around. For an appetizer we had the Trio Bruschetta, which was amazing. What I love the most is that you're able to get the best of sweet (ricotta and honey) and savory (pesto) in one appetizer. Service at Orofino is always top-notch. On the night we visited, our server was training a colleague, and it was all super seamless. The ambiance was perfect, though the back room can get a little loud given the acoustics and lack of sound absorbing panels.
