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!!!

So that's when I found this really good latte flight. I highly recommend it! You get it hot or cold. They have food. A cool looking fish tank. And honestly, a lot of good looking lattes and drip coffees. Definitely a nice place to hang out. You can sit outside or inside. Service was pretty quick and the staff was really friendly. If I live closer, I would come here way more often!

In addition to the peaceful atmosphere, the furniture was comfortable and the staff was so friendly.

However, what really stole the show were the treats. The Turkish Coffee was superb. It was authentically made via the sand method. I got the Ottoman which had milk added with touches of cinnamon and cardamom. It was a wonderfully flavorful concoction. We also got Turkish Delight and Baklava to take away. The Delight lived up to its name, especially the chocolate brownie variety. It was an exceedingly delicious treat. The baklava were also terrific as they were loaded with honey. To top things off, the proprietor was one of the nicest and most engaging people you'd ever want to meet. He is originally from Istanbul. I enjoyed my conversation with him since that is a city which I highlight amongst the ones I have been privileged to visit. It was a lovely visit to this delightful shop and we hope to return in the future when the chance arises.

Maybe it was just a bad batch the coffee was a hard to drink. Overall the ambiance and the service was really good the coffee could just improve.
