Located in the Historic Somerwell House (circa 1700), Little York Confectionery is Mobjack Coffee Roasters' commitment to enhancing Main Street in Yorktown. Their charming candy shop features ice cream, house-made chocolates, candies, and treats.
This brick and mortar shop is also home to Yorktown & Co., featuring a full-replica Stanley Steamer Wagon. It's fitting for the Colonial National Historical Park Battlefields.
The shop has a variety of chocolates, but the Yorktown onion bonbon caught my eye. It's chocolate with raspberry.
The name references the Yorktown onion flower, a local plant that blossoms in late spring and early summer across the area—most commonly seen in historic Yorktown landscape.
I also had a berry sorbet, which was so nice on a hot day. Plus, there was a cookie that added a little bit of crunch.
A nice little shop in a historic area with plenty to explore.
