Little York Confectionery home of Yorktown & Co History Tours — Attraction in Gloucester Point

Both the confectionary and Mobjack Coffee Roasters/Petit Cafe are owned by the same folks from what I can tell. If you have kids along and there's nothing over in Mobjack that they want: there will be something they want over here.

Multiple flavors of ice cream are available as well as cups, cones, and milkshake options. I will happily vouch for their "Mobjack Espresso" which reminds of the concept of a Starbucks Frappuccino, but is leagues better than anything Starbucks can create. Opposite of the ice cream counter you'll find another counter where almost everything for sale was made in-house. The Yorktown Cannons, the Fleur-de-lis chocolate squares, the multiple flavors of bon-bons, chocolate-covered marshmallows with sprinkles, chocolate oyster shells, all kinds of things. Everything I mentioned by name is made there. Just like the selections at Mobjack: anything you pick will be a winner.

Also offered are candies and other treats you can find that are helpful for those who appreciate a sense of familiarity with various confections.

Before that room there is a seating area where you can wait for milkshakes as well as a gift shop area that has multiple items made locally as well as elsewhere in the United States; such as fun or funny magnets made in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Such a sweet little confectionary! My partner and I stopped in this weekend and were really charmed by the atmosphere of the building and the extensive selection of vintage candies and house made confections. We stocked up on a box of 12 different chocolates and you can really taste the care that goes into making each one & the quality of the ingredients—the London Fog and the dark chocolate truffle rolled in cocoa powder are my favorites so far! And I don’t think I can go back to store-bought marshmallows after tasting the ones that they make.

Aside from confections they also do house made ice creams. I took one of the staff’s recommendations and went with the banana pudding ice cream in a waffle cone topped with spiced pecans. When I tell you that I would make the trek from Norfolk to Yorktown just for that … I mean it! The location is perfect as well if you want to grab yourself a cone and walk down to the beach.

In all: a fantastic new place to have in Yorktown that’ll be a must-stop whenever I’m in the area! Kind & helpful staff, great atmosphere, and tasty treats! And stop by Mobjack next door for lunch, coffee, or a freshly...

Our experience with Yorktown & Co. Tours was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Yorktown. The staff was not only welcoming and fun but also exceptionally knowledgeable about the Revolutionary War. The battlefield drive was meticulously organized, with each stop and piece of information delivered with both enthusiasm and accuracy. The team was fully prepared to accommodate our numerous questions, requested stops, and even our energetic "Huzzahs" throughout the tour. We highly recommend this tour and company—your trip to Yorktown would be...
