Dinning Experience: 2/5 Coffee: 4/5…read moreFood: 3/5 Prior to eating at this location, we had died across the street and thought it'd be nice to give it a try based on the outward experience and the folks sitting out in front at the sidewalk tables. It looked to have a good vibe, but once we walked in, we realized it was a coffee shop that served food. You have to get in line grab a menu and place your order. Any coffee, water or juice juices are delivered on the right side of the bar and the food is delivered on the left side of the bar. And what I mean delivered that's where you have to go to pick it up. The food is served on Small paper plates so you will lose some of your food as you try to cut or move it.. I ordered the breakfast platter which was scrambled eggs, choice of meat, potatoes, and toaste. My partner had the cheese omelette with sourdough toast. There was nothing special or extraordinary about the food. With the small paper plates that they use food easily fell onto the table top. They don't offer water in a cup, but rather you can buy a bottle of water. If you didn't realize that after you ordered, you have to go back and get in line so that you purchase your water. (We assumed they had water/cups to use). We left felling unsatisfied.

Discovered this indie coffee shop in Williamsburg near Busch Garden exit off Merrimac when I was…read moredown for a brief visit and OMG - BIGGGGG LOVE!!! So much to love about this new discovery besides the fact that it's NOT a Starbucks lol and for those that know me, you know I love and love to support and discover tucked away indie coffee places (see my reviews!). This place is also a roastery and sells their own bean blends. I don't know the history behind the shop and name but was told it is chemistry themed and owned by W&M alum - yassssss! Service is SUPER friendly and excellent so that's a bonus! I lovvvvvvve that the latte menu is chock full of super creative seasonal flavors - so many to choose from!! I stopped by twice while in town and staying just down the street. Had a hot Rose Macaron latte and the next day had the Lemon Bar. Both were DELICIOUS. NOT OVERLY SWEET BUT WITH SUBTLE FLAVORS AND BOLD ESPRESSO TASTE. NOTTTTTT WIMPY WEAK. Both days I had the OG Bacon Egg Cheese sando on an ET bagel that was a decent accompaniment to my seasonal lattes which were clearly the stars of the show. I was there during the week - once mid afternoon, the other day late morning and it was not crowded at all both days. The seating area is HUGE. 2 separate adjacent rooms - walk through the front ordering area and you'll find a large, super cozy and inviting "living room" type space with comfy couches, armchairs, dining tables with chairs and even cubes for studying. Dark and moody vibes. SUPER COZY, RELAXING AND KEPT VERY CLEAN AND TIDY. The other seating area has a bunch of tables and chairs, lots of windows, brighter and more conducive for gathering. I took and posted a bunch of pics and some vids so check them out. So glad to have discovered this coffee spot and gem! Will definitely be back when I visit Williamsburg again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Made a quick stop for some coffee on our way to the beach. Glad we did. My daughter ordered lattes…read morewith homemade earl gray syrup, which they both enjoyed. They really liked that Column 15 made the drinks iced by adding a big cube of ice made of coffee. That way the drink doesn't get diluted as the ice melts. Brilliant. For me, I got the Americano. It came standard with only 2 shots of espresso- a no no in my book - but the drink was still reasonably priced after I added an extra shot. The end result was an excellent drink. I've now been to several coffee shops in the Williamsburg area and I'd say this one is my favorite so far. Next time I'll stay and enjoy their inside tables or patio area. Both looked nice.

I got the honey vanilla latte with oat milk. It was very smooth and not too sweet. It also wasn't scalding hot so I was able to start drinking it right away. They also have a "for here" option, where give you glass or ceramic cups/plates to use while there. In addition to the peaceful atmosphere, the furniture was comfortable and the staff was so friendly. She chatted with me about when they opened and the events that are sometimes held there (today was a thrifting pop up).

I stood to the side near the sweets to browse and still no "I'll be with you in a minute" While waiting, I noticed the prices of the baklava - $3.95 for a very small triangle. The Turkish delights had a sign that you get 1 free if you buy 5 of $2.95 each. They looked good but I wanted to ask about the ingredients. Well since I wasn't acknowledged, I figured maybe another time ...

The turkish coffee was AMAZING! My husband was raving so much about everything they have. The unique process to their coffee making was awesome to watch.

This is the perfect location in Williamsburg. You have to go!

The "chilli eggs" were great. The lamb was so good we saved half just so we could have it later in the day. The lattes were solid, too. For a place where you have to wait in line to pay and have your food brought to you, it is not cheap. But the prices don't feel like you're being gouged either. Just don't expect to get out of there with two people and pay $30 dollars. It will not happen. Also, don't expect quiet. This place is loud. Small rooms with lots of chairs and nothing to cushion the noise. My perfect visit: 1. Have someone order the food and find seating. 2. You go to the dessert place a few doors down and get a medley of treats. 3. If you're two people, order three things and share a bit of each. 4. When you're almost done, order two coffees to go then sit back down. 5. Someone will bring you your coffees and you can walk out with drinks in hand and snack on chocolate covered items as you walk back to your car. 6. Complain that you should have gotten the large coffee and didn't ask for napkins so your fingers are a bit sticky. 7. Drive contentedly home and talk about what your favorite thing was. 8. No, no one is nice about merging back onto that highway, but that's not Hohl's fault.

I have no affiliation other than I'm a frequent customer of Bodos. The service was very good. Especially since I had a credit gift card that had to be entered manually. The staff were patient. It's a grab and go place. So scope out a place to sit outside if you want to eat right away.
