Lot 63: Bakery, Coffeehouse, Pub, Wine Bar — Restaurant in Winston-Salem

I honestly can’t believe this hasn’t been done yet because it’s just such a good idea. Make a cozy, rustic, quality coffee house with good WiFi/coffee/tea and most importantly food and put it in the most historic beautiful part of Winston-Salem, in Old Salem. Lot 63 does not disappoint.

As soon as you walk in you are greeted with multiple lounging areas with couches which almost masks just how spacious the entire taproom is. Despite having enough space to fill with large comfy lounging spaces, I counted at least 20 individual seats where you could plug in to an outlet if you are working on a laptop.

Did I mention the amazing smells that greet you wafting through the door as soon as you walk up? If you haven’t had it yet you HAVE to try the Moravian sugar cake. The staff is incredibly friendly and clearly invested in the success of the taproom. It feels like they take every order with personal interest.

After getting my tea and sugar cake I meandered to the back of the taproom where I discovered ANOTHER cozy sitting area hidden inside a small alcove to the right fully outfitted with outlets. I expect to be here very often...

Finally had a chance to swing by Lot 63, and it does not disappoint! Excellent coffee and baked goods, a beautifully adapted historic space with custom furniture, and lots of nods to both Moravian traditions and the Wilkerson family.

1. I was so surprised to find Cafe con Leche on the menu, what a treat! Excellent brew.

2. You cannot beat Wilkerson baked goods, that’s the best hot cross bun I think I’ve ever had! The Wilkerson family prides itself on high quality ingredients and they clearly use ample spices. The difference is obvious from the first bite - both the hot cross bun and Love Feast roll were amazing. 😊 Hoping they’ll eventually stock larger packages here.

In addition to the many Moravian touches throughout the space, the furniture was handcrafted by an Amish family near Yadkinville and adds so much to the ambiance. I’m interested in buying some as well, but the company name I was given is listed online as going out of business several years ago? Would management be willing to share how...

Came in on a Sunday morning and it was quiet - barely anyone there around 8:30am. Right in front of the shop it seems like they have a bit of parking but I did see some signs that said fire lane no parking in front and behind of that space. The woman serving me was kind and efficient. I knew I wanted something cold and with pumpkin so she recommended an iced latte. I was happy to learn that the large 20oz came with 3 shots of espresso and before she made it, she confirmed that was ok which I appreciated. The pumpkin latte is probably one of my favorites that I've had! I also tried the rosemary cheddar scone (I ate it before I could get a picture) and that was soft and fluffy with the perfect amount of rosemary. I microwaved it with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds and it came out warm and soft like it was straight out of the oven. I was pleased that the scone wasn't hard which is what I was originally expecting. I'll certainly be back to...
