Plus, they stock freshly baked goods from The Division Bakery. Care goes into the preparation of each sandwich, and the results are very good!

Even the bottle is charming--the design uses an 18th-century botanical illustration from the Colonial Williamsburg archives. The tea was delicious and felt like the perfect Williamsburg find. It was a scorcher outside that day, or I would have bought more chocolate to take home! Super cute shop and definitely worth popping into while exploring Williamsburg.

The McKenzie Apothecary is a small reconstructed building located near the Palace.) Dr. Kenneth McKenzie owned an apothecary shop in Williamsburg from 1732 until his death in 1755. He practiced at various times on Duke of Gloucester Street and at this location on Palace Green. From the CW website: "Dr. McKenzie owned what is now called the Robert Carter House property from 1747 to 1751. In 1751 McKenzie conveyed the property to Philip Grymes, Receiver General of the Colony, for use of Governor Robert Dinwiddie while the ruinous condition of the Palace was being repaired. The deed transferred all buildings, houses and outhouses on the property except one building which presumably was the Apothecary Shop which was to be removed off the premises within six months from the date of sale. Presumably Dr. McKenzie constructed the shop during his occupancy of the property, though it is possible that he conducted his practice in a structure built earlier on the site. When the colony sold the lots in 1753, the shop had not been removed. The next deed, dated in 1761, did not mention the building, so by that time it either had been relocated or was considered legally inconsequential as a result of Dr. McKenzie's death in 1755." The appearance of the original shop is unknown, though several documents exist (including Dr. McKenzie's will) which recorded the professional equipment he owned or that was given to him including drugs, medicines, mortars and all other instruments. The present building was started in April 1951 and completed in March 1952. Unlike a lot of CW reproductions it does not occupy the foundation from the original shop as the colonial brickwork was considered not substantial enough for reuse and was removed before reconstruction. The exterior design was based on a common building design from the period and the 1782 Frenchman's Map of Williamsburg which shows a small square outbuilding to the south of the Carter House with lines drawn between the buildings indicating a walkway or a pergola that connected the two buildings. Strict authenticity was not followed in designing the interior of the reconstructed McKenzie Shop. It was intended for a possible residential usage which dictated a more functional floor plan than would have existed in a normal Apothecary. In terms of today's CW the McKenzie Apothecary is used as a counter service stop which offers drinks and a small array of prepackaged snacks. It's also one of the places where you can buy & refill the annual refillable mugs. The shop is normally open seasonally from March until the end of the year then closing during CW's dormant time in January-February. Also note the location. Yelp's map marker is wrong because CW's own website has this place listed incorrectly. This CW map lists the Apothecary at the correct location: www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/map?loc=McKenzie%20Apothecary&lat=37.2729988098145&lng=-76.7024002075195 Whereas Yelp is using this CW map where the address is for the Pasteur & Galt Apothecary Shop on DOG Street: www.colonialwilliamsburghotels.com/dining/mckenzie-apothecary/?_ga=2.207823574.512910083.1516863166-218621726.1516863166

They also have a refillable mug that you can take around Colonial Williamsburg and get refilled for a nominal fee. There is only one door, so when there's a line, it can be difficult to maneuver. We went for the bottled ginger ale and root beer. They were both cool and refreshing for a hot day walking around outside. We didn't eat here, but I was glad to see a few different vegetarian options: pb&j sandwich, veggie sandwich, side salad, and a fruit and yogurt option.
