The good news, though, was our search for Vino 124 led us to Shenandoah Confections, featuring artisan chocolate and tea. I had a chocolate chai alongside a few of the artisan chocolates and WOW is this ever a fantastic gem for Front Royal. The staff are knowledgeable and affable, and I know this store is a new place to visit when in the area. ADDENDUM: The coffee service has taken a hit. No longer are you drinking from proper cups and saucers. It's all paper cups. That kind of kills the feel of the place, so it was once very cool but it gone down slightly. I think Pip has made it clear though--we're not going back there. Drinking high quality tea from paper cups will not stand.

They offer local drinks, preserves, jams, desserts of all sorts, and homemade sauces. Honestly, it was really hard to choose something to try. The owners spent a few minutes with us goin over their menu and everything looked SO good. We settled on the Strawberry Shortcake and the owner's own concoction the Nutty Professor. The short cake was ALL homemade (the sauce, whipped cream, and sponge cake). The cake was very light and refreshing and not too sweet. This was HANDS down the best Strawberry shortcake I've ever had. We ate the entire thing in the car. The nutty professor is very unique and SO good. It's very rich but is a cross between a peanut cup and a snickers combined. It's very good but only take a couple of bites at a time We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area. A must try if you're local or visiting!

I got an iced Turkish rose pistachio latte (less sweet since the flavor combination sounded pretty indulgent) and it was absolutely incredible. It came with cream on top and was honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. I also grabbed an almond croissant, and it may have been the best one I've ever had. Exactly what I needed on a tough hike. The inside feels like a cozy living room with tons of live plants and so many cute little corners to sit and relax. Everything was spotless, the staff were super friendly, and the whole place just had such a welcoming vibe. This added a serious "umph" to our hiking day. Highly recommend if you're in the area! Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!

I was on the road cruising around Northern Virginia, pulled over and looked for good pub food. As I…read morewas searching Yelp, I found this place and the first picture I saw was what looked like a pastrami sandwich and onion rings, but in fact, it was a Reuben, which is OK. I walked in and I was greeted immediately and I was welcomed in. The only negative and I won't ding the restaurant for it is somebody is wearing so much perfume I felt my throat closing off, that's not the restaurant fault. I just moved to the other end of the restaurant and even though I could still smell it, it wasn't unbearable. Now back to the Reuben ,it came out with a generous portion of pastrami The bread was toasted. It tasted good, not great or not awesome but still respectable. The onion rings were very good, just a little over salted. Now here's the awesome part that gets them an extra star otherwise they would've only gotten three is that their beer is really outstanding, especially the IPAs. I enjoyed a small flight, picked a beer and had it a good lunch on the road. Solid place.

It's safe to say all of my guests felt the same. We all LOVED it. Sussy is the best! My faith in online ordering has been restored, and it's all thanks to Sussy! Most people would fantasize about a fancy wedding with hundreds of guests, but I was really happy with my small COVID-19 wedding with only 4 guests, which took place in our apartment. We did everything ourselves, from the decorations to the bridal hair and makeup, and the last thing I want to do is make a cake myself. Sussy saved my day and made my dream cake come true and even better than I could imagine. I'm never a fan of chocolate cake but hers was just magical. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the raspberry buttercream and also the delicious dulce de leche filling. I originally sent Sussy a cake design that I found online and loved, and I was expecting an exact replica of it. But NOPE! She did not copy a single thing from it, which I highly respected her for. She used her own designs and listened to my ideas to come up with the most beautiful cake ever! I also really appreciate that she picked a Baileys strawberry and cream bottle as the centerpiece as my wedding color scheme is rose gold-peachy pink. The bottle really tied everything on the cake together. I LOVED EVERYTHING about the cake. Thank you so so much for making me a beautiful cake, and I definitely will order more from you in the future when there's a special occasion.

The thing that put me off was the aggressive signage everywhere prohibiting this and that. No pets, restrooms for customers only, tables reserved for 2 or more customers, no outside food, etc. I'm sympathetic to business owners trying to prevent customers from taking advantage in various ways, but these kinds of things set an unwelcoming tone that annoys me. If you don't show a little confidence that your customers are good people, they will feel your judgment.
