I wish I…read morecould remember the name but it had coconut milk and some cherry flavor and just great for a hot day! Also tried their maple pecan cookies and I was surprised how good they were! The brownie was a little too rich for my taste but I will just get more cookies next time! Service was good and it's a little tight in the space when it is busy, because it is a popular spot with the college students and those visiting Williamsburg, and hey even us locals!

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!!!

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.

I'm a local. I live less than 4 blocks from this place. I could go to any local place - I know…read morethem all - and I come here for breakfast at least once a week. The location is perfect. Hohl is a block from Merchant's Square where all the shopping for Colonial Williamsburg is and it's literally next door to the parking garage. Park in the garage for 2 bucks and walk 60 seconds to Hohl. The service is great. It's limited - you order at the counter and they bring it to you - but it's always friendly and prompt. The prices are reasonable. It's not cheap, but it's not stupid either, and the whole experience is totally worth it. The food is uniformly excellent. Tasty, served hot/cold as appropriate, innovative and well presented. My favorite is the house muesli. Fabulous. The seating inside is kinda close and cozy, so know that going in: if you have more than one small kid, please do everyone a favor and eat at the picnic tables outside. This place is a full-on local's favorite. Do not miss it.
