It’s a good little place to pickup some pretty excellent baked goods. Recommend the cookies as they were basically amazing. Can’t wait to come back when we visit Williamsburg again!
Yummy freshly baked cookies and a small choice of beverages. The bakery is located behind the reproduction of the historic tavern where the intellect and wealthy planned their separation from King George III. It's in the heart of the restored area on Duke of Gloucester and an absolute must visit. The bakery is a hidden treasure so follow your hunger and thirst pains to this historic watering hole. Try one of each homemade cookies. Though the presentation isn't authentic the taste approximates it!!
Stopped in here for afternoon coffee and Hot Chocolate on 25 Sept 25. And a Chocolate Chip cookie to share. Self serve coffee and chocolate and then cafeteria cashier, Montana, checked us out. Total bill $14.84 Outdoor seating available but we needed shade on this hot day. Friendly family next to us gave us visiting tips for our next day trip to Washington DC
We enjoyed the freshly baked signature cookies, still warm. The courtyard, surrounded by blooming trees, had a lovely atmosphere.
Make sure to stop here in the morning around 10am to get some fresh ginger cakes. A traditional recipient made the “old way” in a wood-fire oven. When the cakes are warm they fill you up with joy. Limit 6 per person but also under $2 each. Such a great treat to start out your historical day!
Colonial Williamsburg tradition - brick oven ginger cake cookies and a glass bottle root beer. Great seating area / picnic tables in the back and side. The actual oven and bakery is in the back of the front building in the street.
The fresh gingerbread cost is 3 for $4! It was delicious and hot with just a touch of crust on it. Oh to die for! The well dressed baker was kind and virtuous. Because it was Christmas time you can get a “fat man” ginger bread man cake which is also delicious. A ten percent discount is added for patriot pass or military. They offered breads and other cookies but we left with a huge bag of gingerbread!
Came here for the ginger cookies and wasn’t disappointed — they were delicious. Similar to the Caribbean keke/quequi/honey cookies, they are dense and packed with spices. There were plenty for sale when we arrived.
★★★★★ This charming little village bakery is nothing short of a treasure. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread and sweet pastries — the kind of scent that instantly feels like home. Every offering is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality in each bite — flaky, buttery pastries with perfectly balanced sweetness, tender cakes that melt in your mouth, and breads with a golden crust and soft, airy interior. Nothing feels mass-produced; everything tastes handcrafted with care and pride. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place where neighbors gather and visitors quickly feel like regulars. It’s clear that this bakery pours heart and dedication into every tray that comes out of the oven. If you appreciate authentic, freshly made baked goods prepared with skill and love, this little village gem is a must-visit. I’ll certainly be returning for more. The ginger cake and cream soda were my favorites.
I had been searching everywhere for a simple cup of coffee and someone pointed me in the direction of this place. Now, it's not a bakery in the traditional sense but they offer cold drinks, sandwiches, coffee and tea as well as an assortment of breads and pastries. Even if it's a bit busy it flows very nicely. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. It's a great little place that's about halfway in the town . It was a bit of a maze when leaving because you kind of access to a lot of backyards but it makes for some great photo ops.
