The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg

My mother-in-law asked if we could stop in there after our day in Colonial Williamsburg. I had never been into the shop before. And I wish I never went in, lol. I ended up buying several cans of peanuts and pecans because they were so tasty. It was nice to have the samples because that's what did it for me. Definitely will be back. They also offer senior discount and military discount.

One of the other reviews said the name is misleading and it is. They do have a lot more than peanuts. We ended up getting a couple different varieties of nuts and a honey mustard. It has all been very good. I am glad you can order on line because we will be ordering some stuff for our Christmas party this year. You want to make sure you stop here, they have something everyone will like.

We've been visiting this shop since '75 and always love coming back. They know how to do nuts right and have adjusted to the tastes of their clients over time, by having low-sodium or creatively flavored nuts like Sea Salt Caramel, PB&J or Wasabi (yes it's spicy!) And they will ship anywhere.

Just returned from a nice visit to Williamsburg. While wandering around the Market Square area we found this nice place. It’s actually not correctly named as they sell a LOT more than just peanuts. Their selection is quite broad and includes all kinds of nuts prepared in many, many ways, syrups, honeys and jellies, doughs, and a gaggle of other food-related things.

My wife bought a few items as gifts for friends and family. Prices are a bit high but you have to expect that from a small shop in a very touristy area. Highly recommended for yourself or for gifts for others as you roam around the old town area.

First time in. They have all kinds of peanuts. I like the spicy ones like the jalapeños

A great variety of nut types are available, many with flavoring or chocolate coverings. They also had jelly, dough mixes, and seasonings.

We always get the Dill Pickle Peanuts when we visit! They're delicious! We also grabbed some salsas and other small things.. they always have a yummy selection! The staff is also always very friendly!

The hand picked nuts were very good, lots of whole nuts, no halves. I really like the spicy nuts, maybe more than the hand picked. We haven't tried the rest of our selection yet, but I'll update that later.

Variety of flavors and types of good sold here, not only peanuts. They have the best malt balls and peanuts by far. We got the crab salsa this time but we will get the garlic ginger sauce and horseradish spread when we visit next. We even got our dog a bone that he loves for 3.99!

Great variety, Fantastic Quality. So Good. Well worth the trip. Plus in-Store Specials.

These are my favorite peanuts. They snap when you bite into them. There’s other nuts in the store too and a variety of flavors. I got regular peanuts. Chocolate peanut butter covered peanuts and Georgia pecans.

We love this place. Always our first stop. Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans are a must have!! Buy something people!! Samples are awesome, but taking a few cans home is even better.

Some of the most delicious chocolate-covered Kosher nuts this side of the Atlantic! They’ve also got a great selection of salted nuts, plain nuts, caramel-covered nuts, and even wasabi-covered nuts. In non-COVID times they offer free samples, and the place serves as an attraction of its own, but for now they are responsibly only offering “take out”. The location is in a beautiful section of Historic Williamsburg, and it’s well-worth exploring the surrounding areas. Overall, this place is nuts! ;)

I love this place!!!! Free samples and lots of personality. Plus the have honey mustard peanuts, simply put best peanuts in Virginia!

I appreciated the safety precautions that this store enforces. They lock the door when they are at capacity, have hand sanitizers available, and have one entrance and one exit to encourage one way traffic. I felt like this was the safest store in Merchant's Square!

Now about the peanuts! We got the Santa Snack Mix and Dark Chocolate covered peanuts. We mixed them together and they're perfect!! They make great gifts too!

I always try to visit here. A great variety of items.

Very nice peanut shop in Merchant's Square in downtown Williamsburg . I highly recommend the milk chocolate covered cashews. That are incredible

Excellent peanuts and stellar service! The New Orleans Creole Peanuts are amazing.

Cute gift shop. They close at 5, which is strange but I guess it's a Williamsburg thing. Nice assortment of treats, small decor, and of course peanuts. The variety of peanuts is impressive, I believe they will allow you to sample one or two if you can't make up your mind. Nice people and a good stop if you want something unique from Williamsburg.

We are locals. My husband loves coming here for the peanuts. He has tried several and enjoys all of them.
