Kiln Kingdom

This place is an uber-charming and unique new addition to the Colonial Williamsburg shopping and dining area. Housed in the corner shop at Prince George and N. Boundary Streets, this spot has been many things over the years (for a long time it was a camera shop, if I remember correctly, back when those still existed, lol).It has been transformed into one part retail space selling lovely, colorful Turkish pottery and dinnerware and one part coffee and sweet shop serving strong and delicious Turkish coffee "on the sand" (heated over hot sand), Turkish delights and other house-made sweet treats.It's a great spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of DOG Street and enjoy a hot coffee and tasty dessert.

A newish addition to the area, and a nice one! Kiln Kingdom offers a mix of really lovely pottery and glass lamps, along with a chance to sit down and enjoy a half-dozen varieties of Turkish coffee and baklava at a couple small tables. The Turkish coffee is made in the traditional way with hot sand to heat the water instead of a burner, and with finely ground beans right in there, and it was delicious. In addition to a couple types of baklava (all of which were good), they had a selection of Turkish delights (not our thing, so we didn't try them), so you've got a couple sweet options to go with the coffee. Not a full-service Starbucks, but a really lovely place to sit down for a On top of it all, the service was super friendly and efficient, despite the effort to do the coffee right.No tea on the menu yet, but it sounded like that was coming soon, which would be great for the non-caffeinating...

This was one of the coolest and kindest cafes I've been into. We got to chat with the owner for some time, who was so wonderful in how he explained the coffee menu (they specialize in only doing Turkish coffees) as he did with their homemade desserts.

This is a really lovely place. Essentially, you come for the art, stay for the coffee :) The art is amazing, various Turkish designs of ceramic. I've gotten a really beautiful mug from there. It's also very affordable. The baristas of sorts are also very nice. Highly recommend this place.

This is a fantastic place to stop and get authentic Turkish coffee! Make sure it's heated on the sand. The Turkish delight is super delicious too. Very nice people and they have imported ceramics and other nice gifts. Highly recommend!

Turkish coffee was delightful. Pastries to swoon over. Brought back great memories of years past while in Turkey. A must try.
