This was an absolutely brilliant cafe! Hot chocolate was a pleasant treat after a thrilling, unexpected, quite enjoyable and educational guided tour with Mr. Tom Patton from Aldrich Bed & Breakfast. The cafe offers excellent choices of sandwiches, a variety of snacks and other hot beverages that hit the spot on any cold winter day or well just any day you may have an opportunity to visit this once in a LIFETIME IN THE MAKING HISTORY… during three tour met archeologists who were actually digging for over 400+ artifacts from the original settlements of the English at Fort Jamestown! We actually witnessed the findings too! WOW! Was also blessed to witness use of new ground penetrating identification technology being used to fine areas where they should dig next! AMAZING! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND VISITING THE JAMESTOWN ISLAND!

Hummus wrap, tunafish wrap and 2 cran-apple curry coleslaws. Excellent! And the staff was friendly and even showed me what brand of curry powder they used for it so I can make when we get home. Really appreciated that.

We discovered the café by accident, and were pleased with the offerings. The menu is not overwhelming, but it’s all you need. We had the North Carolina barbecue and the turkey sandwich with brie on a cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. The barbecue is juicy and good quality, not at all commercial tasting. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the service was fast. They have lots of homemade sweets if you like that. The seating by the water is lovely.

This was a welcome place to rest while looking around Jamestown, and the peanut pie and cookie we chose were OK. The best thing about this cafe is the view overlooking the James River and watching the ferries crossing over.

This cafe is set in the park(paid access). It's on the river, with a nice view an offers outside seating. It has sandwiches, salads and homemade desserts. The sandwich choices are few, with daily specials. We split the turkey ruben one of the specials. It could've been a good sandwich if they upgraded the quality of the lunchmeat, added a little more dressing but, mostly if it was cooked longer to melt the cheese. We were hungry so it filled the void. Will we return? For a drink, yes, to eat no.

This is a delightful cafe with unique sandwich offerings in the heart of Jamestown with a beautiful atmosphere, as you can opt to dine outside on the river.I highly recommend the turkey and brie on cinnamon swirl bread with cranberry mayo. They also have delicious homemade desserts such as blueberry pie, brownies, and cookies. The only thing I thought was a little pricey was $3.75 for fountain drinks, so we opted for canned drinks instead.
The staff were great! I was very pleased to get an old fashioned ham salad sandwich. Ate every bite.Wheelchair accessibility: I was in my scooter, no problems, everyone was very supportive.
Thank you for making a conscious decision to include vegan entrees and sides! My vegan family absolutely loved the Vegan Spring Wrap (Waldorf-style for those reading) and adored the vegan lemon-basil chickpea salad side, which is a refreshing alternative to a bag of chips. The kids were happy with their uncrustable sandwich meal. We really appreciate not only the effort, but how delicious it was! ❤️Vegetarian options: Veg/Vegan options!

Nice place while exploring Jamestown. Had my dog with me, so did several other people. Dogs are allowed, just not where you buy the tickets. The cafe was very accepting of dogs also, treats and a water dish for them. Listen to the guided tour, you may actually learn something if you're not careful. Colonization of the new world was not all roses and chocolates like it's made out to be. Prices aren't horrible considering it cost $21 for two people at Wendy's, ~$11 isn't so far off for good food at a very interesting place. Nice covered patio to watch the ferry and other boats go by.Wheelchair accessibility: Make no mistake, it's pretty much all dirt (light pea gravel), but I saw, at least, four people in wheelchairs. So it's very doable.

Excellent Food.... excellent. Definitely above average quality & very reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly, and there's ample seating right on the water. It's a real treat to have a place this nice little of the park. Usually get overpriced touristy places with junk, definitely not the case here. Highly recommended
