Anita's Cafe & Dessert Bar — Restaurant in Fredericksburg

Anita’s Cafe & Desert bar is just a few weeks old!

Long story short, my boyfriend and I had stopped at a coffee shop down the road. We decided to go for a stroll while we sipped and stumbled upon Anita’s! We automatically knew it was new to the neighborhood and wanted to go in and just take a look. One of the baristas, Caroline, noticed I was drinking a Matcha, and offered to make me one on the house to try one of theirs. And I must say I was stunned at the quality compared to the one I was currently drinking!!! She explaied to me how they use powder and milk instead of mainly water. I also got the chance to meet the owner, Anita! She was so kind and we got a chance to chat about how she started this business. She even came over to introduce herself to my boyfriend as well. The staff here are all very friendly, and might mention the aroma from the fresh baked goods!! I can’t wait to visit this place more often & I plan to try everything they have to offer. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in downtown...

This was our second time hitting up Anita’s, this time I wanted to try some food. The inside is open and so bright, the simplistic display of all the amazing pastries and sandwiches was beautiful, and they had flavored iced tea!! They can flavor black, green, or berry iced tea in pretty much anything you would like. I settled for peach and it was so delicious. The chicken salad on croissant was the best chicken salad I have had in a long time. You have the option of cold or toasted. There was a healthy amount of onion, celery, walnut, and cranberries mixed in. My boyfriend enjoyed his house salad with artichoke, capers, and fresh mozzarella. He also ordered the bulletproof coffee with lavender, which he loved.

Everything we order from there is so fresh and just plain yummy. It is definitely one of our favorite...

Anita’s Coffee & Dessert Bar is everything you could want in a coffee shop—and more! I’ve loved visiting Anita’s since the Italian Station days, and seeing her bring her vision to life with this new space is nothing short of inspiring.

She hit the nail on the head—from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the incredible energy that fills the space. Whether you're stopping by for a quiet moment with your coffee or catching up with friends, this place feels like home.

The vibe is unmatched, the employees are spectacular, and the passion behind this small business shines through in every detail. It’s the kind of place where everyone belongs, and I couldn’t be happier to see a strong, driven woman thriving in our small town.

If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and visit Anita’s—you won’t...
