“try the apple crumble cake!”

We just got back from our first visit to Colonial Williamsburg, and we snacked here at Raleigh Tavern Bakeshop several times. On our first stop here, my husband asked what the apple crumble cake was - he was told it was not like what we think of when we think of a present-day crumb cake and that it was good. He tried a piece, and it was so good we got it several more times during our stay! It's more like a really thick, sturdy apple pie - there's nothing "cake-y" about it. The crust is almost like shortbread, and the crumb topping and the filling are loaded with cinnamon. It was amazing!! Try some for yourself!

I live in Williamsburg and I love this little shop. It is tucked away and a nice place to get breads, cider, lemonade, etc. And it is reasonably price. Try the ginger cakes or tavern rolls. Excellent.

WE stopped in at the bakery while visiting and I had a really good walnut brownie and DH had an appleturnerover that he said was very good. The hot cider was just what we needed on a brisk day.

“My Favorite Place in the Colonial Area !!”

I am a "very long time visitor" of the Colonial Williamsburg area ... my first visit was in November 1969 ... and I come back every chance I get, which is either once every year or eighteen months (I live in Texas). The Bake Shop has a large selection of items ... Sally Lunn bread, cookies, gingerbread "cakes" (I call them cookies) ... and my favorite are the gingerbread cookies. I make a "bee-line" for the bakery as soon as I can so I can get some to help me "make it through the day" along with a glass of cider. I do this daily ... thank goodness with all the walking I don't gain any weight!! When I have to return home to Houston, I come away with 3 or 4 dozen of the gingerbread cookies as I've gotten some people at home "hooked" on them. I would highly recommend visiting this shop so you can relax and "people watch" while you are taking a break ... then you're set for the next thing to see on your long list of things to see and/or do!!
