18 Best Cafes in Williamsburg

“Kingship coffee is so good I decided to serve it exclusively at my Bistro & Bakery. Viktor is expertly knowledgeable in the many facets of roasting and brewing, it is mind boggling. The customer service is a standard bearer for other local businesses.“

“We have always loved walking Capitol trail with our kids, but having spoke and art there now makes it so much more enjoyable! First walk of the season, we stopped in for lunch and were totally unaware of the live music!!! What a great addition to this already amazing little place! Thanks for a great day!“

“When we arrived we were told the wait would be 20 minutes, but we're called to a table in 5 minutes. The waitress immediately came to our table and took our drink order. Drinks took 10 minutes then we ordered and our meals were done in 10. The service was incredible and food was perfect. would definitely recommend it“

“Friendly staff, delicious hot coffee. FYI if getting a frozen coffee 'surprise' they use ice cream...no wonder it was incredible!“

“Stopped before leaving Williamsburg to grab lunch. Friendly service, served quickly and fresh. Definitely recommend.“

“The Liberty Lounge at Colonial Williamsburg offers a warm and inviting environment that provides a pleasant place to pause during a day in the Historic Area. The staff were friendly and polite, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere. The coffee was good and made for a nice break. The military memorabilia on display added interesting historical context and character to the space. The restroom was clean and operational. However, the water fountain being broken was a noticeable drawback in an otherwise comfortable and well-intentioned space.“

“Awesome staff, awesome food!! Great fun and relaxing environment to get together and chill!“

“I really enjoyed my cheeseburger. They have a great condiment bar where you can choose your own toppings.
Ordering is cafeteria style, and made to order while you wait. Lots of options from sandwiches, burgers, fish, pizza, quesadillas to salads.“

“While visiting Colonial Williamsburg, we were looking for a simple and reasonable place to eat. We decided on this location and were quite pleased. They have a great selection of drinks, food and desserts. I got the ½ Turkey sandwich with American cheese, bacon, lettuce and cheese on Focaccia bread with ½ Caesar salad ($15). My wife got the same sandwich with a Greek salad. They both came with pickle wedges. The only issue I had was that the whole time we were there; no employee ever came out and wiped off any tables or straightened the chairs.“

“This place was clean, food was great but the service was lacking.“

“Y’all, I am not usually a fan of donuts. But these *chef’s kiss*. Not only did they smell and look absolutely amazing, but these have to be the best donuts I have ever tasted. A very lovely lady named Mama Dee brought a plethora of these to a bunch of people doing their best to show up for themselves, and when I tell you they didn’t last long, biggest understatement ever. What is usually a very chatty room, turned completely silent as everyone sat back and indulged in these delicious treats. You could hear “mmm” and “oh my God” every couple of seconds. The apple fritter had me in, personally. I know one things for sure, I will absolutely be going to try more. Thank you Emilys donuts for pouring love and compassion into each and every dessert. Everyone absolutely enjoyed them and wanted to know where they could get more.“

“The Cupboard ~~ Great little spot to stop in for a snack or drink. Especially terrific is Siba, the nicest of ladies who makes the best hot tea anywhere. Who knew adding orange slices and cinnamon sticks could turn it into something special!“

“Love Aromas! My fiancé and I were in town for the weekend, we were recommended to Aromas from a local and it did not disappoint! The coffee (cold brew and latte) was great, the food was filling and fast and the atmosphere was lovely! We will be back next time we are in town!!“

“Up until this morning, my family never had a negative experience at the Williamsburg First Watch. The food was always good. and the customer service top-notch. That changed today. It started with the waitress...she didn't offer any sort of greeting and, when my mother asked for a plate of bacon to share after I had ordered the "Trifecta" breakfast (with bacon, eggs over easy, and a multi grain pancake), the waitress asked me if I still wanted what I ordered and, when we sought suggestions, she stood silent. She gave us coffee when we asked, but poured hardly any in the cups and left us barely half a carafe. My eggs came over hard instead of over easy (as did my mother's, even though she asked for over easy too. The bottom of my pancake was burnt. (I took pictures of all of this in hopes that I could speak with the manager). I also ordered orange juice, which was never brought to the table. Our waitress then disappeared, so I had to flag down another waitress to get more coffee. creamers. and a few napkins. She at least was gracious enough to offer to do so. When I finally saw our waitress at the counter, I raised my hand to get her attention, and she gave me the "wait a minute" gesture. It took her five minutes to get to us. When she did come over, I asked her for what we needed, and she didn't seem overly thrilled about getting what we asked for. When she dropped the check, I told her she never brought my juice, and wanted her to remove that from the bill, which she did (with a half-hearted apology for that at least, after asking me if I still wanted it, which would have been pointless after the meal). Forty dollars for a meal experience worth less than half that. All-in-all, compared to past experiences, I can totally see why so many negative reviews have been posted lately.“

“Our favorite place to go to. Employees during the morning shift are absolutely the greatest.“

“Good food fast service. Lots of outdoor tables . Busy but moves fast.“

“Big shout out to Jayme for being awesome.“
