The food was delicious and there were many healthy choices. I had a fresh Caprese Salad and fresh brewed iced tea. My friends each had a different dish that they loved. The cafe is directly across from the water so this makes for a fun, off the beaten path oasis. We are so happy that we sought them out!

Wish I could have this very one every day for lunch. The baked Brie was wonderful. In the salad and on the Brie platter, the candied pecans were the stars! I live a two hour drive from Washington, but I can see coming back just for lunch at Water Street every once in a while. Service was great, the view was very nice, and the cafe is a fun spot to spend an hour or two.

The shop is very cute with seating both inside and out, plus a room in the back where you could have a little get together.

When i think cowboy boots i think tepid, drip-coffee sitting on a burner in police-station break room, being filtered into the mouth of an overweight, but no-nonsense detective with crumbs in his wilford-brimley mustache. This place is dripping with a barn-y, live-laugh-love vibe. It's very yeehaw. And they play Christian music; which, messaging aside I probably wouldn't mind except Christian music is always across-the-board godawful. Point being, it is a very specific vibe. But. The owner runs a tight ship. It's a high volume place and no one is lolly-gagging; everyone is bouncing around on their toes, nimble and bright-eyed, ready to test the limits of their blenders with the just-called-in-order of 14 smoothies and fraps, on top of the snaked-around-the-building line for the drive-thru. They have a good system, and are usually on point, with efficiency and speed and accuracy. I have been going there for the better part of a decade and i have never had a drink screwed up. Furthermore, my drink is always consistent, regardless of who makes it -big points for that. There's another place in town where my choice beverage varies wildly in taste and consistency depending on who is working that day. Also they don't use any of those garbage Monin liquid syrups; they use the better Torani syrups, and even better, they mix the espresso with the syrup, so that it's emulsified properly in iced coffee-drinks and not just sitting heavy on the bottom of the cup for you to suck up in one go through your straw.

Sat and cooled off and enjoyed my delicious latte with a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie chaser. Did I mention peanut butter and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations? This treat did not disappoint! I have also enjoyed a Snickers latte, and it was equally delish! I'll have to make up the splurge with extra steps all week, but it was well worth it! I'll enjoy counting this cost! The staff was friendly and chatty, and even asked how sweet I preferred my latte! Turned out one of the girls and I share a love of horses! Also, ladies, if you like beautiful interesting spaces, check out the ladies room! They've taken a rustic wood table and made it a sink, paired with a beautiful deep red wine wall treatment...it was a joy to see! And trust me...it's not often (like...EVER!!!) that I comment on the beauty of a bathroom. Well done! I was so captivated by the lovely ladies room that I didn't even get a picture of my snack! Can't wait to visit again and try something else new!

An outstanding evening at The Mulberry House!…read more From start to finish, this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time, and a huge part of that was my server, Kylie. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely made the night feel special. She was happy to accommodate modifications to my order without missing a beat, checked in at exactly the right moments, and brought such a positive energy to the table. Service like hers is rare, and it truly elevated the whole experience. The food was fantastic. The Torched Tuna Crudo was fresh and beautifully balanced, the Spicy Honey-Garlic Shrimp was packed with flavor, and the Seared Salmon was cooked perfectly. And the view! Sitting outside and enjoying the setting made the evening feel like a true getaway. If you're visiting, ask for Kylie. She's a gem, and The Mulberry House is lucky to have her. I can't wait to come back!

The sun hits just right in that little space. My point being, if you're coming at that time, opt for indoor seating. We were told that new owners recently took over and that the food was better. I can't speak to how it was, but it wasn't great this night. We ordered the whipped burrata cheese dip and it was tasteless. The bread was cold and hard and also tasteless. We then ordered the Caesar salad and they do offer anchovies, which is rare. But, it was also not good. At all. It literally had one crouton. One. We decided to call it and head out. The server was very sweet and attentive.
