A New Perk at Yorktown 1781 CAFÉ BY AROMAS

Guests will find a new perk at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown with the opening of 1781 Café by Aromas.

1781 Café will offer a new coffee-centric menu, building on the success of AromasWorld restaurants on Prince George Street in Williamsburg, the Swem Library at William & Mary and The Captain’s Den in Newport News.

Opening its doors in mid-May, 1781 Café offers patrons affordable and delicious food and beverage options, including grab-and-go food options for individual guests and groups, in a comfortable, cozy setting.

While the museum café has long been a favorite option for midday lunch break, guests now can stop by throughout the day to purchase a cold or hot coffee drink or a delicious smoothie with a snack.

Museum-goers watching the immersive “Siege of Yorktown” film, complete with smells of coffee from the Revolutionary War trenches, can act on their senses to find a variety of coffee options nearby at the cafe.

Adult and school groups can pre-order healthy boxed lunches and enjoy those at the picnic areas adjacent to the museum’s re-created Continental Army encampment, Revolution-era farm and near the bus loop. 1781 Café, open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during museum hours, joins Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation as a new museum dining option. The café at Jamestown Settlement is administered by long-time hospitality partners, JCM, Inc., the owners of Second Street Bistro in Williamsburg and Newport News.
