Dale House Cafe - James City County

A quiet retreat from the bustle of Colonial Williamsburg, the Dale House welcomes guests of the APVA-owned side of Historic Jamestown for a bjte to eat and deink alongside of the James River. The caterer at the Dale House is exceptional. Beer, fountain soda, coffee, hot tea, and other bottled beverages are offered. The pastries and sandwich breads are home baked. The soups, sandwiches, salads, and quiches are just the right ticket for lunch. I strongly recommend any sandwich on the croissant buns if they are available as a special!Just be sure to purchase the APVA ticket in addition to the fee for admittance to the National Park in order to access the Dale House. Recent changes have required both tickets to be purchased due to ownership division of Historic Jamestown by the APVA and NPS. But, a week long pass is well worth the price for returned admittance to enjoy the offerings and unobstructed Jame River view at the Dale House!

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!

Went in March, cup of coffee and homemade caramel brownie in nice atmosphere looking out window to the water, wonderful0 Parking: Close to building, ok for big trucks

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.
