Carrot Tree Kitchens

First time here but will not be the last! Stopped in to grab some desserts to-go. It was 1:30 and they were already sold out if their Cowboy Cookies so I took that as a good sign to come back and grab one of those when I need a cookie fix! I was there for their pumpkin cheesecake roulade and their pumpkin caramel cheesecake roulade and they did not disappoint. Both were absolutely delicious. They have an area before going into the restaurant for grab-n-go goodies and people behind the counter to get you backed goods as well as food items such as soups, meats, prepared salads almost like a deli. There are also frozen cases with frozen items and baked goods out in the counter to grab. Service was nice from the ladies behind the counter. Can't wait to try out the restaurant soon!

Nice breakfast/lunch spot near Jamestown Settlement. They also have a dessert counter where you can grab cookies, cakes, and other goodies to go. Employees were friendly. They have separated seating areas, but weren't busy during our visit. Inside is very casual. The BBQ sandwich was really good. I added the small side of coleslaw to it. The included potato salad side was fairly bland, except for the pickle flavor. About $15 for this meal. I stole a few French fries from the Mrs, which were good, as was the green goddess dressing that came with her wrap. She said the wrap was also very good. Most meals ranged from $10-15 on the menu. Breakfast items available all day.

I have seen this place for many years and finally decided to try it out. I entered through their bakery entrance, which was attached to their restaurant. Clean, organized, but a bit small. There were four customers there and space was limited. Food items were clearly priced and there was a decent selection of sweets and prepackaged salads. A young girl, very polite, was serving other customers and just my luck, the older woman served me. She was rude and disinterested with helping me. I was rushed through my order even though I expressed being there for the first time. I purchased tuna salad and ham salad. The labels showed price per pound, so I asked for 1/4 pound. I was told they only sell at 1/2 and 1 pound containers. Agreed to 1/2 pound option. These pre-packed containers are not exactly weighted so the price will be much higher than a true 1/2 pound, which increases the price of the items. It was a Wednesday when I purchased the salads, and noticed there were dated tags showing the date they were made; Tuna on Sunday and Ham salad on Monday. Tuna salad was watery and basic tuna. Nothing more, nothing less. Tuna and mayo. The ham salad was bland, and again nothing more, nothing less. I also ordered a lemon bar, brownie, and "sample" carrot cake, as it was called. The pictures I've included do not do justice to show the tiny portion sized desserts. Lemon bar was hard, dry, and stale. The brownie was dry and hard. The sample carrot cake bite was literally one bite. Flavor was okay, but for $3.25, I'd like more than one bite. This place is pricey and the quality of the items I purchased are not worth the expense. I will not be returning. Poor customer service, pricey menu, inaccurate advertised pricing, and perhaps stale/old desserts.

First time here, after wife received several recommendations. Place is much better sized than we were led to believe, with plenty of seating. Place aWas busy, but not overly so, between 1/2 & 2/3 full. First indication of things going awry was standing at the hostess station for twenty seven minutes (with obvious seating available). Finally seated and were able to order minutes later. Plenty of time to examine the decor, which was tastefully decorated for the season. Waters arrived (no lemon in mine for some reason, although both of us requested-guess wife just looks nicer!). I ordered the Brunswick stew and wife had the breakfast croissant. Bowl of stew was small - felt more like a cup size. Would have liked some hot sauce, but after food was dropped off, waitress never reappeared. Wife's breakfast sandwich was very nice. Overall, seemed seriously understaffed, which affected all aspects of the meal.

Carrot Tree is such a welcoming place for lunch or bakery treats. It's a real locals spot and a gem!The menu offers breakfast and lunch, with sandwiches, salads, soup, and quiche. I especially like their side dish of carrot salad, which contains pickled carrots in a sweet vinegar. During our most recent visit, we ordered the First Ladies lunch, which included a piece of spinach quiche (they offered other quiche versions too) and a side, for which I ordered the carrot salad. Many of my friends ordered the sampler, which came on a bed of lettuce with scoops of different salads, like tuna, chicken, egg, and pimento. Another friend ordered the wrap special, which was peaches and chicken. Yummy!!The restaurant is larger than it looks from the entrance, as it has another room towards the back. It's brightly lit with cute rabbit- and carrot-themed decorations. The bakery and prepared food to take home areas offer a wide selection of cakes, cookies, pies, etc. and meals like quiches, pot pies, etc. See photos. They can accommodate groups of 12 for large lunches with friends and can provide separate checks. Service is very good!!

Delicious breakfast croissant made with over medium eggs, topped with bacon, and cheddar cheese. Large carrot slice as a side. Hubby had a Brunswick stew which he found bland. The place was too large for the staff of the manager and two servers. Very slow to seat us o/w excellent food for me.

LOVE CARROT TREE! i come here at least once or twice every summer. My grandma treated me to lunch today. Went with my usual: the Yorktown onion and carrot salad. SO YUMMY

My friend and I were blessed with another wonderful meal and experience here yesterday during lunchtime. Our timing was perfect as we were immediately seated and then the crowd rolled in. However, even with the large crowd the attention we received was perfect, as was the food. Our terrific waitress and also the owner checked with us multiple times to see if anything was needed and on how our food tasted to us. All-in-all our visit here was perfect and we look forward to our next visit to Carrot Tree. In between my visits we will very much enjoy the tasty desserts and soup I brought home. They have amazing and wonderfully tasty choices! Go check it out!

I got the lemon bar and raspberry linzer for a snack and it was so delicious! It tasted homemade and fresh.

Everyone has their own opinions and the reviews made me try this place, I have to sadly say I am not a fan. This one is a miss for me. I had lunch and was excited to try their rave reviews carrot cake and it didn't win me over, unfortunately it was very dry and I couldn't finish it.
