The Chai was excellent and made me feel like a warm cozy sweater had enveloped me. The food was equally enjoyable and generous portions! Service was prompt and we were checked in multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed and that the food was good, which it was! Definitely would wander off destination to stop here again, as it was worth the extra couple of miles detour.

It's a cozy and small location but you feel welcomed and apart of the community as soon as you seat. Recommend beating the rush hours for any meal as they're generally packed but worth waiting. Prices are competitive and the food makes you feel like you're back at home enjoying a heart meal. I opted to take on the Hungry Man breakfast and boy was it's worth its weight in gold. Highly recommend for breakfast and excited to try their legendary pizzas next time I'm in for a lunch or dinner meal.

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.

The guy who served me was very friendly, letting me try 3 samples and having a positive attitude. The flavors seemed promising, from s'mores to Cookie Monster, but it was a bit underwhelming. The ice cream tasted more like milk with toppings, rather than ice cream itself. I'd prefer to get Mimi's Ice Cream, or Jeni's. The prices were reasonable, with the milkshake cup being on the larger side.

Seated quickly and server was there in under one minute and gave us a bottomless pot of coffee and brought Splenda (which is not on table.). My wife ordered avocado tacos and said they were excellent. Her grits were excellent! My food however was not great. Ordered beef hash and eggs. I really wanted corned beef hash but not on menu. Beef chunks, what few there were, were actually cold as in right out of refrigerator cold while all the other ingredients were just right so it's like they tossed them in at last minute with no time to warm up! Overall it was very heavily seasoned and after a few bites I lost my appetite. Way too salty too. Again the grits I ordered on side were excellent. I took 3/4 of my meal home to try to eat later and perhaps add some corned beef hash to but haven't had the desire to finish yet after two days so likely I won't eat it. Something about the seasoning and overly salted that didn't sit well with me. Overall this is a very pleasant upscale restaurant but there are zero bargains on menu ($54 with tip for 2 people for breakfast = very high IMHO.) Music was a bit loud as we were almost directly under and between two speakers. Could just be me but I can't see any need for high volume music in such a nice restaurant. Perhaps when it's busy it helps with the overall din? Checkout was super easy with QR code but I dislike the 18% low end suggested gratuity. Let me decide. I know there is a customized tip capability but 15 vs 20 should suffice. Less for poor service which I doubt you will get at First Watch. However I cannot ever recall in my 76 years tipping any server more than 20%. Overall the food selection is fairly non-traditional and limited. 1 pancake is $9. Seriously WHO orders just one pancake? If one goes to Cracker Barrel you can get 3 pancakes, a meat and two eggs for a buck more. And delicious. This place is definitely more upscale but honestly it's about the food, right? I prefer good tasting food vs upscale so likely we won't return (but man those yellow grits with a big scoop of butter on top were delicious - better than Cracker Barrel for sure!). If I should ever return I'm ordering two sides of grits (or a big bowl) and that's it! Out for under $8 + coffee. Not sure how this chain will survive but if I were the operations manager I'd find a few menu items to sprinkle in that appeal to us tightwads, with hope some will order the higher priced offerings. A very basic pancakes, eggs and meat for ~$10 would get my attention. Almost all their menu items were in the $14-16 range which is like dining in the big city. Too much for Fredericksburg I'm afraid. It's not that we can't afford First Watch, it's that First Watch's (2 of them) are out of their element here. I wish 'em luck but fear, like the past tenants in that building, they won't make it unless they can find a menu that packs people in 7 days a week. There were probably only 4 tables occupied during our Tuesday at 11am visit. My father owned/managed several restaurants growing up and he always said you can put a restaurant in a barn in a cornfield 20 miles from no where but if the food is excellent and price is fair the public will beat a path to your door every day! He was right.

However, nothing really stood out as exceptional. The service was friendly but a bit slow, even though the place wasn't very busy. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, but the tables could use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness. Prices are fair, though I've had better breakfasts elsewhere for the same cost. Not a bad place to grab a morning bite, but not one I'd go out of my way for either.
