This very very small restaurant that looks interesting. It's very quaint. It's not family friendly…read more Service was great and the place was nicely decorated. I would say it's for more older adults wanting a very quiet lunch. Great place to have tea and a dessert. Selection of food...well..lunch menu is small. Not much to choose from so I would say it's really just fair. I was disappointed in the quiche and you don't get any choices. There's so many quiches to make these days. We only had one choice that was a big disappointment and it tasted just OK if it had a better menu or a little bit bigger menu that expanded to have some real choices we might be back but I don't think so that's why the three stars is for the fact that it's a lovely place to have a very nice cup of tea....

The cafe is…read morehoused within The Mole Hole boutique, which sells gifts, decor items, jewelry, purses, and ladies clothing. Today's review really is about The Gathering Place cafe, which is why we went to The Mole Hole. It's absolutely lovely. They have about 4 to 5 tables that could accommodate 4 people. Plus they had a cute table for two. The tables are elegantly decorated with linen floral napkins on pretty placemats. See photos. The food is light fare, but with ample portions. We started with iced teas (they also offer beers, wine, and champagne). For entrees, we ordered the spinach salad with salmon and pecans as well as the ham and spinach quiche with the southern pea salad. The pea salad contained peas, corn, pimento, and shredded cheddar cheese -- quite unique and very good. My husband can't stop raving about it. We really enjoyed our meals. All food is made in house. See photos. Service is prompt and friendly. You pay at the final checkout up front so you can pay for food and any shop purchases together. Bring cash for your tip, as their receipts don't include a line for a gratuity since they are primarily a shop. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday for lunch until 3 p.m.

When the W&M Bookstore opened my senior year, we rejoiced. Finally. Finally. A place to hang out…read moreand be tragically hip with a cup of coffee and some friends. A place to perpetuate our belief that we were oh-so intellectual with our copies of "Leaves of Grass" and "The Psychology of Close Relationships." The old bookstore sucked because it was small and cramped and had nothing but textbooks and W&M Beanie Babies. The bookstore is a Barnes & Noble, so no bonus points for the indie thing. But...then again, it means the store is always stocked with the latest releases, and that the inventory is huge and varied. It also means there's hardly ever a shortage of textbooks, which are all housed in the basement level. There is an *abundance* of W&M gear here. Everything from your standard hoodies and track pants to playing cards, license plate holders, captains chairs, and foam fingers. You can get the W&M or Tribe logo on just about anything humanly conceivable. A lot of it is really nice, too. There is a plethora of Williamsburg merchandise as well. Same idea as the W&M stock. Upstairs -- along with typical non-book stuff you see at a typical B&N -- is the café, "proudly" brewing Starbucks coffee. Again, no bonus points for fueling the corporate machine. But there are tables and chairs for showcasing your latest Mac laptop along with your genius-making textbooks. I know it's cheesy and corporate, but I ALWAYS stop in here on a trip back to Williamsburg for nostalgia's sake and usually end up with yet another W&M logo'ed item.

It's always a turn off for me when I come into a card shop and the people behind the counter aren't knowledgeable about the products they're selling. P R I C I N G Another reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of the items were priced... and then some of the items weren't.. There is nothing I dislike more than having to come to the counter every 5 seconds to ask employees how much something is...

I go into a card store to see the old boxes of cards and rummage through them to enjoy the feeling of finding that card you have been searching for, and a third rate website cannot do that for me. Average pricing I guess Atomic Comics is far superior for Yugioh bulk, and is a superior store in general with happier, more friendly staff. So all People looking for bulk should be warned that this store has none of it and that Atomic Comics is amazing!

First thing on morning of December 26, we were greeted with signs of 50% off Christmas merchandise…read moreat the front tables at the entrance of the store. We picked 2 items and went to register - by the way there was no line as the store was empty. Cashier looks at the gift box of chocolate and other Christmas item, and states she needs the manager to approve. Manager then comes over to yell at us about customer reclamation project where he accuses every customer of moving merchandise to sales table. I'm sure everyone woke up the morning after Christmas to rush to Homegoods to move merchandise. We asked for them to call District Manager, at which point he again lectures us, but refuses to walk 25 feet to look at the sales table. In my opinion, the way he treated us is because of our race. Maybe it would be in the customers best interest to actually put clearance stickers on the clearance merchandise instead of blaming customers for them not doing their job. Incidentally, don't fall for their credit card - 34.99% interest rate is highway robbery, plus they offer no promotional financing for large purchases.

I was in town on an early Friday night, and the store was EMPTY. Friday late afternoon and early evening in my store is swamped because people want to see what's new. By the end of the day Saturday, whatever you wanted Friday and didn't get is gone! I saw a cabinet on Friday that I made myself a deal with -- if I came back after work Saturday afternoon and it was still there, I'd get it. Well, it was. So I did. Yay! There was second piece that I was eyeballing... it was waiting for a customer to pick up when I got back Saturday!

The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful! I had the pleasure of unexpectedly meeting and speaking with John Fogarty, Burton Parish Church Comptroller, who readily gave me some insight on some of the items displayed in the museum and made me excited to visit their Church too.

While we have been to Bruton Parish church many times, (it's my favorite thing on DOG Street by…read morefar) currently the church is closed for tourist visitation due to the installation of their new organ. With that in mind I figured I would finally make the big one block walk down to the gift shop to see what they've got shakin'. The scene would best be described as part hospital gift shop meets a Hallmark store for the 70 and over crowd. So many little trinkets and nick-knacks everywhere. Also noteworthy is that while the shop has an excellent mission, the prices here are very steep. Deals you will not find and some of the clothing that they're selling has never been seen in public since the Golden Girls was cancelled. Dorthy Zbornak would have had a field day in here. In the back of the building is a small chapel which is very respectfully laid out even if it was odd walking by tables of "discounted" Christmas things right by the entrance. I bought my obligatory Bruton Parish fridge magnet ($7!) and had a nice talk with the one volunteer at the register about the current organ project and a few rumored things happening in the near future. She was really a great ambassador for their brand and truly showed that this is a living-breathing-vibrant Episcopal church. I'm not really a retail person so I doubt I'll be back but if you are into trinkets or curiosities then this place might be for you and at the least it's worth the short trip away from the CW buildings on DOG Street.
