This was one of the first blog posts I’ve written, and since then there’s been so many new cafes opening up! Here’s a list of the majority of cafes and coffee shops in Williamsburg starting with the closest to campus!
Town Center Cold Pressed – an on-campus cafe located in Sadler serving anything from coffee to cake pops!
Column 15 – Located in Swem and serving up a fun drink of the week! There’s also a full service cafe a short drive from campus
Starbucks – Possibly the busiest Starbucks in Virginia, right across from campus!
Culture Cafe – Across the road from Chick-Fil-A, Culture Cafe is a perfect place to study and get a pastry!
Bakeshop – Use your dining dollars for pastries, bagels, pizza, and drinks
Eleva – Right off Jamestown road right by Merchant Square, find a selection of drinks, pastries, and baklava!
Illy – Located across from Wren in Merchant Square, Illy is a perfect spot to study and grab coffee!
Aromas – Aromas is a staple of Williamsburg with so many options for both food and drink from 7am to 8pm!
Kiln Kingdom – Kiln Kingdom is super unique in that it’s a store and cafe in one! Grab a coffee while shopping for a new mosaic lamp!
Hohl Cafe – My personal fav! Hohl is located in a house and serves the most delicious food, pastries and drinks!
Secret Garden – A bit further into Colonial Williamsburg, Secret Garden has bubble tea, ice cream, and more!

Whale Tea – Also within Midtown, Whale Tea sells boba tea and ramen!
Anon. Cafe – Moving to New Town, Anon. Cafe is a new coffee shop with a variety of drinks!
Kung Fu Tea – If you couldn’t tell, I love boba tea, and Kung Fu Tea is the best out there!
Another Broken Egg Cafe – If you have the chance to venture down Richmond Road, check out Another Broken Egg Cafe for brunch and pancakes!
