The selection here is immense with a large variety of jarred goods, drinks, dairy products and even meats. I ended up buying a jar of pickled watermelon rinds and sweet potato butter. Both were delicious selections that I haven't really seen anywhere else. The cashier was really nice and bagged my items for me. They only accept Cash or Checks, not CC. This prevented me from grabbing more, so I'd definitely recommend coming prepared with cash so you can get everything you'd like. The prices are fair and cheaper than what you'd find in the grocery store, so it's a decent trade-off for the cash-only model!

I ventured out this store last weekend. There is a very nice selection! Very friendly and…read moreprofessional staff. They do not take debit cards but let me take my items anyhow. I went up the street to the 7-11 and got cash to go back and pay. Highly recommended you try this store.

The Cheese Shop was highly recommended, and I can see why. It was a little confusing, but once we…read morefigured out the process, it was a short wait till we were enjoying our lunch. We ordered the Italian, turkey, and daily special from the counter. They use high-quality meats and breads. I really enjoyed my sandwich, which had a lot of prosciutto in it. I chose chips and a Colonial Williamsburg iced tea to go with my lunch, and they were good as well. It was a hot summer day, so this was the perfect spot to take a break and have lunch.

I admire this cheese shop in Merchant Square. It's definitely a place you'll want to check out when…read morevisiting Colonial Williamsburg. The first level is the market, filled with an abundance of craft beers, drinks, cheeses, breads, sandwiches, deli items, ingredients, and more. The lower level is the tasting room, and there's also outdoor seating available, although it can feel a bit tight. We didn't get a chance to try anything since it was close to closing time, but I can definitely see this place getting super busy on the weekends.

First time at the Farmers Market. An hour drive from VA Beach on a cloudy morning. Got here at…read more10:30am. Parking is a great challenge even in public parking areas. Thanks to my 2-seater I just squeezed between two cars that really didn't care about conscientious parking to allow another car room to park! The social media ad for the farmers market said 30 to 40 vendors. Didn't feel that there were as many. Maybe because of the weather. I got some goat milk bath soap!

Not only are the products good, there is a plethora of options, from coffee and ice cream to bread and biscuit to pierogi and ravioli to eggs and cheese; produce, flowers, knife sharpening, the list goes on... parking can get a little tricky sometimes but there are plenty of lots around so just keep circling you'll get a spot. I love coming to the farmers market after we get some breakfast around the corner and even if we just walk through and don't even buy anything. It's just so much fun to see people out there selling their goods and other folks just there to have a good time and shop!

Absolutely my favorite shop in Williamsburg! SO many unique spice blends and flavors. Everything we…read moreget here, we LOVE! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, love striking up a conversation with them! It's so calm and cozy, every time we go it's a great experience. The teas are so good and I usually do not like tea, but these are on a whole other level! The staff is so great about explaining the teas to a newbie like me! Obsessed with the fall flavors like the hot buttered rum!

Great shop in merchant square! The store is full of anything you could want spice or tea related. I…read morewalked out with a beautiful green translucent olive oil bottle that I can't wait to use. They have your standard spices, but also curated spice packs that makes trying new recipes much simpler! If you know someone who likes to cook, this shop would be a great spot to pick up a gift. On the other side of the store is a wall full of various flavors of loose leaf tea, ranging from highly caffeinated black tea to herbal. They also have a small booth inside the shop where you can order a cup of hot or iced tea from any of the flavors in the store. They have various sweeteners you can add to your cup, but I wish they had the option for a splash of milk or cream as well.

I've been buying teas here for a while but really want to holding a Herbology 101. The store owner is very knowledgeable and has a lot of educational materials you can look at when making your blend. You can also sample it as you are making it to make sure it's the right mix. I was also able to blend a bath soak for myself. The entire experience was wonderful and I'm really impressed with the ambiance and knowledge of the staff. It's clear they've put a lot of effort in their shop and it shows. I'm a loyal patron and highly recommend this spot to others.

At some point I tasted legit honey at a friend's house and realized the difference is remarkable. And then I did research that backed this up. So now I eat ECA honey. The texture and color are richer than regular grocery store honey, and the flavor is sweet (of course) with a hint of sour. More importantly, it's produced in the region, raw, and unfiltered. From what I understand there are a couple stores that sell it, but I live in DC so I just order mine online. Shipping is prompt and you get the sense the owners do this for the love. And I haven't gotten sick all winter, so it must be helping!
