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.

i like 2 go 2 bake shop

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.
