Red Truck Rural Bakery/Marshall

Amazing food and coffee! Nice stop on my way around DC from New England to NC/SC. Kelsey and Team do an amazing job - stop in, eat, and say hi, you won’t be disappointed!! Cheers! 🙂✅👏🎉

Cute rural find! Yummy biscuit breakfast, good coffee, and plenty of seating if you want to get some work done.

The new setup is brilliantly done! Surprised they got the remodel done this fast. Marshall needed a full-on Cafe and Espresso Bar, this definitely scratches that itch.

Something happened. Its been a year since ive been at this place. It’s clean…friendly. But the food. What happened? Ordered the breakfast sandwich. It was microwaved. The egg was the consistency of tofu you get in hot n sour soup from a cheap Chinese restaurant. Non crispy bacon some sort of jam to give it flavor. All on a piece of cibatta bread that absorbed the grease. I ordered the coffe cake donut as well. Which tasted like lard covered with way to sweet icing. Not the quality for price im expected. Next time ill pass. In my pictures you will see the horrible quality of this over priced sandwich. Go to Old Salem or to Marshall diner get something made fresh this is an overrated overpriced trap. (Update) after reading other peoples reviews all in the same ballpark. Its obvious the staff/ownership doesnt care

A must try. Truly delightful place. The best blueberry pie period! You also must try the lemon blueberry muffins. And the spinach feta croissants are delicious. Everything is very good! The staff in the Marshall location are true professionals from the bakers to the customer service personnel. The location is very convenient from Interstate 66. You get off and you get right back on. Lots of parking in the back. Thank you Red Truck Bakery for a great experience.

Great bakery! Lemon lime pie and cherry lime muffin were awesome. Go early or order ahead if there is something you really want, like apple pie. We’ll have to order ahead next time too! 🤪

Red Truck Bakery in Marshall, VA has been on my must-visit list for ages, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The charming country store vibe paired with the onsite bakery made for such a delightful experience. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by heavenly aromas that make it impossible to leave empty-handed. I tried the French ham and cheese quiche—absolutely scrumptious and almost tempting enough to buy a whole one to take home! Their selection of pies is incredible, and I couldn’t resist grabbing a fig scone too. I’ll definitely be back to sample more of their delicious treats!

Stopped for a treat on Sunday. I got the last egg and cheese on a biscuit and hubby had a tuna salad sandwich and a blueberry muffin. Two coffees, fresh brewed. We sat at a table in the window and enjoyed watching folks come and go, inside and out.

Buy some pastries and a quiche. The biggest one they have. Have a slice a day until there is no more quiche. I brought a quiche to a weekend in Shenandoah National Park and it saved me from having to wait an hour for lunch in a park restaurant during a busy weekend.

Great fresh pastries, breads, cookies. Plenty of seating and easy parking. The associates are friendly and get you in and out quickly.

Stoped by half past moon for coffee and of course had to come to Red Truck for a breakfast sandwhich. I love this bakery and stop in every time I'm visiting! It has that country old time vibe with fast service and a friendly staff. I've had my eye on that pecan pie, so definitely getting that next visit!

What used to be a destination bakery has become yet another non descript place with TV menus and push button lattes. I could get those at a near by Tatte or Maman. Sad to see the new owners chose to go this route and in the process lost what made Red Truck bakery Red Truck Bakery. Progress? Now I have to find some other place.

Had the lemon Meyer and strawberry basil. The lemon Meyer was your classic lemon pound cake that you can't go wrong but you also feel like you could make it yourself taste and looks wise. The strawberry basil was pretty with a patterned strawberry frosting. The frosting was very yummy but that was like the only strawberry flavor that came through and the basil was overpowering making you feel like you were eating a pesto cake and I honestly couldn't finish a slice once I had eaten all the frosting.

I was not expecting to find this wonderful bakery on an exploratory journey. But here it was. Unfortunately, we arrived fully fed so we were limited on what we decided to buy. At first glance, it appears their focus is mostly on cake and pies (which is fine by me). And what really caught my wife's interest was the Almond Cake with Amaretto. Why? Because it was gluten free! And when we finally returned to our home and sampled the cake, it was delicious! Moist, flavorful, and light to the taste. A great surprise! We look forward to returning and trying more.

Perfect place to get your sugar fix. I got a cinnamon cupcake that I'll be thinking of a long time--it hit the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. Red Truck has some nice sandwiches, too. I think I've tried all three main flavors over the years. This time, I tried the egg salad sandwich, which hit the spot. Service was friendly and quick, despite the crowd on the Saturday afternoon when I stopped by. The setting is country casual and appropriate for the food sold at Red Truck.

Everything is delicious. The lemon Meyer cake; yum!!! The chocolate truffle cake mmmm. Scones; muffins; donuts; everyone can find something!! We love the red truck. Great service; great location in Marshall.

A SPIRITED MINCEMEAT PIE TO TRY! I want to thank Red Truck Bakery for their superb customer service care! I have never experienced the level of dedication from a place of business to make a customer happy! Your personal attention to make an unfortunate situation for my family's purchase to a wonderful memory is greatly appreciated! deborah

Somehow I've never visited Red Truck Rural Bakery before - so today, I stopped in to check them out. This location is on the main drag in downtown Marshall, VA. They offer a ton of baked goods (pies, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, croissants, and more). They also offer hot, pre-made breakfast biscuits - either with bacon or sausage - and with some of their pepper jelly. I was unsure about how a pepper jelly would work out from a flavor profile perspective - but my doubts were unfounded. I ordered the Bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit - and even pre-made - it was fantastic! The biscuit itself was awesome! Outstanding biscuit texture! And the pepper jelly was amazing on this sammich! I also purchased for later - one of their pre-made frozen Chicken pot pies. They also have a pretty awesome selection of dessert style pies - including one I've never tried before - a Peanut pie! I mentioned when I was checking out - that when we were kids - my Mom used to make these incredible Mince Meat pies - and that I've never seen one since. One of the ladies behind the counter shared that they make Mince Meat pies during the holidays! I was so excited! I will be back for more breakfast biscuits - and some pies! There is a good bit of seating here. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was good! #RedTruckRuralBakery

A group of friends and I were at a local AirBnB and the owner had had a copy of the most recent cookbook and had left a load of the lemon blueberry cake for us to sample. We were interested by the cookbook and took a day trip down to the bakery around 3 PM on a Saturday so most things had been sold out. We bought some vanilla chai muffins, a gluten-free chocolate raspberry muffin, and a box of the honeysuckle and sweet tea cake to take back with us. I foolishly thought the muffins would make it back to the car. While waiting for my friends to finishing their selections, I dig into the chocolate chip raspberry muffin without low expectations (I've never had a tasty gluten-free pastry) and was immediately blown away. The muffin was very moist and sweet. I let my friends sample some of my muffin then quickly devoured it in case they wanted more. I moved on to the vanilla chai muffin and was not let down. It was more airy than the gluten free muffin but still was exploding with flavor. We had to leave otherwise I would have bought more things along the way but was definitely thinking a stop by the bakery would be a must on the way home. Upon arriving back to our Airbnb, we unwrapped the honeysuckle and sweet tea cake and each took a slice with an afternoon cup of tea. There are small amounts of what tastes like candies citrus zest towards the bottom and it was moist and sweet like the other goods we had sampled. We also dug into the lemon blueberry loaf that was much lighter and less dense than the honeysuckle and sweet tea cake. I didn't have the opportunity to stop by again but am happy to see they do ship some of their products from their website!

It was okay. We stopped due to the numerous accolades, but nothing really wowed. Half of the items were sold out by noon, so we tried what was available. The oomami sausage biscuit was good, but half of it was really hard and tough, not soft and flaky. The service was also meh, it was like boop beep boop that will be $50, thanks.

They say they have the best coffee on the East Coast....dont believe it. I got a cup of coffee yesterday and it wasn't even like warm and the carafe was flashing 0:00 meaning it needed New Fresh Coffee. I told the young lady at the counter and she literally says "I can Microwave" it for you !! I also advised her that the 1/2 & 1/2 cream carafe was empty and she says ok ... I sat there and drank my Microvwaved coffee for 20-25 minutes and she literally didn't replace either carafe. They weren't busy and during that time she had 2 customers...otherwise she stood there. Have had their baked goods in the past... WAY OVER PRICED !! Plenty of seating but all are hard metal seats. Only street parking. Marshall needs a Dunkin... it would put these places out of business !

Truly satisfying. Pick anything from the pie cabinets, you cannot go wrong. Service is friendly.

We stopped in right before they closed on Saturday. The staff were so welcoming. We felt bad cutting it so close but were excited to get some tasty treats. We got the caramel pecan cake, a brown butter cookie and coffee. This bakery is really cute with lots of amazing choices including the their cookbook.

Have been visiting red truck whenever I pass through. Not sure what's going but quality has gone down and prices up. My $4 blueberry lemon muffin had 3 blueberries in it. Sad.

Late Sunday morning of Labor Day weekend, we decided to take a drive out Interstate 66 (NOTE: This is not the 'Real' 66!), and found ourselves in the small town of Marshall. The Red Truck Rural Bakery appeared to be the main attraction on Main street on that morning. We went in and found this bakery to be charming with staff that clearly cared about serving customers. We had one of the "ham scones", a "chocolate croissant", a "cinnamon roll" and a slice of the "tea bread (i.e., raspberries inside)". We ate everything and then my wife bought more "tea bread" to take home. We were able to find a seat, but this place is really popular and seating is the only potential problem. In addition to street parking, additional parking is available behind the store in marked spots. This was one of the highlights of our drive from Northern Virginia.

Wonderful spot to grab a coffee and muffin/pastry/croissant in the morning. Staff is very friendly and baked goods are delicious.

A staple stop on every trip through Warrenton! Their granola and orange loaf come home with us every time. Open seating, yummy coffee and breakfast sandwiches for dine in or take out. A must do stop!

The strawberry rhubarb pie had a very strong flavor of lemon and the crust was so hard I could not cut it. I ended up giving the crust to my dog. Disappointed in this pie.

I've been coming to Red Truck Bakery in Marshall for years, especially for their sandwiches. Today i ordered sandwiches, 6 for 77.00, and whoa. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! I'm not sure what happened here. The bread, which used to be cibatta, or wonderfully thick grain, was the equivalent of Wonder Bread. White bread, stale along the edges. Absolutely like you might get at a roadside cafeteria. Will not buy sandwiches here again. I had bragged about their sandwiches to visiting family and it was embarrassing to serve these. And the visiting family PAID! Which made it even more embarrassing. So sorry to have this experience at a previously loved place.

Great cakes and pies as well as a nice assortment of cookies and pastries. The coffee cake is particularly good, moist and tender with a delicious nutty crunch. They are known for their granola as well which is moist and chewy loaded with nuts and fruits. Don't miss out on their frozen take home dinners either - the lasagna is super cheesy and delicious and the chicken pot pies are better than grandmas! (Sorry grandma but it's true.) You can order ahead to pick up which I highly recommend as they sell out fast especially on the weekends.

I've been dreading to write this review because I've been a loyal customer and hug fan of Red Truck for over a decade. But since the sale of the business things have gone downhill and fast. I've given them several tries, thinking perhaps an off day. Unfortunately the quality of baked goods has declined (gummy muffins, dry cakes) and decreased in size. I was in the Marshall store on Saturday morning- empty and disorganized display cases with few choices, limited counter staff, very few people. I used to have such joy coming in but unfortunately this was the last time. Brian put his heart & soul into the bakery - very sorry to see the decline.

Ordered a Christmas dutch apple pie...paid days in advance of pickup. However, when I went to pick up, at exactly the agreed upon time noted on my receipt, they had sold out of Dutch apple pies. They offered me instead a walnut/ apple pie. I reluctantly accepted. I don't like pies with a great deal of crust. Have never tasted a worst pie in my seventy years!! Half pieces of walnuts dominated the pie, no apples small amount of applesauce at the bottom....Pie was very dry with a massive decorative crust that was tasteless. The pie was inedible.. Paid over $40.00. My complaint after Christmas was ignored. No reimbursement or credit for something else. Also be careful with the deep chocolate cake. Some days very good, other times it tastes like the Duncan Hines cake mix was used. The new owners no longer provide the same quality of baked goods as the previous founder/owner Brian Noyes.

Unfortunately since the sale last year, things have declined. The coffee cake that was delicious is now meh. The Ranger cookies that were addictive, are now just sugar laden bombs, plus you don't need the chocolate on top of them. The chocolate chip pumpkin muffin was too heavy on nutmeg. This morning the kitchen is blasting their radio, you cannot have a conversion that side of the bakery. Hopefully someone that cares about this local treasure will buy it and restore it to its former glory . Coffee is still good.

I live in Marshall. There are two things I love- the ham and cheese with honey mustard on Foccaccia ( Rosemary Basil). well, those days are over. I mean why fix something if it's not broken? The ham in cheese is terrible - some freaking horseradish sauce and pickle. . I've asked about this gross concoction for several months " we are perfecting the focaccia " or " focaccia takes too much time to make" FFS. Brian left the recipes- it's in the cookbook. it's disgusting currently. The chocolate chip cookies fluctuate from a small cake type thing to a flatter more authentic cookie. It's never consistent. So keep relying on the out of town business because the locals know you guys are just not rockin it any longer- fyi, the egg salad is runny too.

This used to be our go-to place, especially during the early days of the pandemic. However, it has steadily gone down hill in the last year. The baked goods are really hit or miss: muffins are often wet inside, croissants are stale and chewy, and the cookies are stale and occasionally taste like plastic. The sandwiches are really not good, and are sometimes made on grocery store bread (they are not cheap either). I've found hair in my food there on more than one occasion. So why do I keep going back? Well, it's just about the only place in Marshall that's open every day, as well as past 4 o'clock. And occasionally the stuff can be decent, but you just never know. I am really baffled by the hype this place gets. Following them on Instagram, it seems like the owner was a well-connected wealthy guy who decided to open his own bakery as a vanity project. Even when the quality hadn't gone downhill, this place was never amazing. It was average at best, and seemed to benefit from reviews from a lot of the owner's friends. I wish there was anything else in Marshall that sold quick bites.

So many yummy options, it was hard to pick just pick one item. I did purchase the Applejack butter pecan cake. OMG! It is absolutely delicious, so moist and lots of flavor. I don't think I could go back and NOT get it again with another cake. I also bought a ham quiche to take home and eat during the week. A friend got the butternut squash quiche, but that one was disappointing. The squash was not cooked. I would of thought that they would of baked the squash before placing inside the quiche, but it was raw. :( even if you rebaked the quiche, it would still be hard. That's too bad. The ham quiche was tasty after reheating it. At one point, there was a section not as combined, but that could of been that I waited to eat the last quarter of the quiche four days later. Not sure. Going back to the cake, I also tasted the pecan pie and chocolate cake/brownie. The pecan pie was good, better than the chocolate cake/brownie, forgot the actual name. Definitely a place to stop by when driving on 66.

I can't find something to critique here! The staff was so sweet and attentive. The food is amazing. The coffee is pretty good. The ambiance is 10/10 - so clean and cute. I love the flow of foot traffic as well. This is a must visit!!!!

Thank you once again Yelp family for pointing us towards the right direction. Red Truck Bakery is such a treat! Free parking is available behind the bakery. Indoor seating is available. Restrooms are in the back and clean. The cashier was friendly, helpful, and packed our goodies neatly. This bakery is super cute and they offer breakfast/lunch specials, ice cream, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pies, muffins, croissants, breads, etc. We tried a few things and everything we tasted was made with quality ingredients. Some of our favorites were the breakfast sandwich, Focaccia, Flourless Chocolate Truffle Cake, and Moonshine Double Chocolate Cake. The breakfast sandwich was fresh and flavorful. The Focaccia was super fresh and fragrant, the rosemary smells so good. Their cakes are fluffy, not overly sweet, and the flavors are on point. So glad we visited and can't wait to come back!

Worth the hype! We went on our way to Barrel Oak Winery. The reviews of this place are pretty intense, even Obama chimes in and said they made "darn good pie." Unfortunately we didn't try the pie because it's at least 20 dollars, but I'll take his word for it! We got sandwiches, even though the website stresses that this is first and foremost a bakery. The bread for the sandwiches was out of this world! The focaccia was too good. We had the veggie loaf and meat loaf sandwiches. Both were good. They both had something zingy and crunchy to contrast with the loaf--meatloaf had amazing pickles and the veggie loaf had tangy pickled onions. Got the soup of the day, lentil, and it was just okay. The coffee is purported to be "best on the east coast" but that seems a bit overblown. We grabbed some pastries to go, most notably the apple donuts and the long, skinny maple bacon donut. Delicious! The ambience and decor was nice. There was nowhere to sit at first but a nice family gave us their spot as they were leaving. We'd definitely come back!

Honeysuckle & Sweet Tea Bundt cake & their famous VA ham with pimento cream cheese!!!! SO MUCH MORE!!!

Terrible peach pie. Crust was so tough you could not cut it. $36 wasted. Small apple cake wasn't worth the $35 I paid either.

Stopped by this cute little bakery after the skyline drive! It felt so homey and the service was great! I had the brownie and the honey suckle cake which was delicious! I wish the brownie were a little more fudgy but the cake was absolutely divine and very moist

OMG!! It's a good thing I don't live anywhere near this place, I'd be as big as a house! Everything we tried was amazing. Ended up chatting with the unassuming and delightful owner. The staff is laid back, helpful and efficient. My only nit was I didn't see prices posted anywhere on the table with the cakes and pies and I'm not sure I would have purchased the lemon bundt cake if I had known in advance it was $31! It was very good but not $31 good. I don't regret getting it, just a heads up to be aware before you jump in with both feet and your wallet. If we're ever in the neighborhood again, you can bet we'll be stopping in.

While traveling though we saw this bakery and were very excited to try it! Once inside we probably got carried away since we skipped breakfast and we ordered over $40 of food plus a $25 book. We got a blueberry muffin, a donut, sausage & jalapeño muffin, sausage scone, cinnamon roll, two cupcakes, sausage biscuit, and a coffee. We gathered our goodies and got back on the road. Almost immediately we noticed my choice for breakfast, a blueberry muffin, had been left out. Quickly scanning the rest we thought that was all that we were missing. I figured correcting the issue of one single muffin would be no big deal, but boy was I wrong! To be a cute little rural place in the country they sure have some major trust issues! They did not believe me that I had purchased said muffin or perhaps that I'd purchased anything at all. I'd like to point out that is hadn't been 10 minutes since I'd ordered and paid. I'd like to also point out I have NEON PINk hair! That usually makes me a little memorable. After having to repeatedly list our purchases they did finally locate the sale in their system. Then they verified yes I did buy a muffin, but they are still staring at me like I'm lying. I ask if I can get the muffin I paid for only to be told they don't have any. WAIT - HOLD UP! WHAT? A.) what's in the case w/ the blueberry muffin label? B.) why did you sell me one IF you were "out" of them? C.) how could I be lying about not receiving my muffin if they never existed to be ordered, sold, and put in my bag? I'm told those are gluten free muffins in the case, but that's not what they sold me. At that point I'd had enough and since I don't believe in being rude to retail workers I decided to just leave. I hoped they enjoy the $ they took from me. It was only then that they bothered to offer me a replacement of some sort, but at that point for a bare minimum of 5 minutes they had insinuated I was lying. Every customer in the place had caught on and were shooting me looks. It was incredibly embarrassing to be treated as a dishonest crook when in fact it was the bakery who stole from ME not the other way around. We once again hit the road and my dear hubby is enjoying the items he ordered for himself while I stare out the window since I got shorted my breakfast. He finished one item and asked for the donut he ordered. I'll let you guess - yeah we got shorted that too! Look, straight talk here - mistakes happen. We're all human! However, when you screw up you have to be ready to make it right. You don't deny it so hard you end up insulting the person you've already wronged. We did attempt to make contact with the shop once we realized we were short other items. We couldn't ever get a clear connection with them. This started out over a simple mistake and a muffin of all things, but it ended very badly because of staff escalating to the point of insult instead of simply correcting their mistake. They preferred to assume I wanted to take advantage of the bakery and really became the thieves themselves. Shame on them!

I was a little disappointed. I ordered a peanut pie and an apple pie. Both were very overpriced and underwhelming. Costco does better than this.

Yummy, uplifting and friendly! A great destination in the morning, lunchtime or afternoon. The ambience says have a seat and visit with your friends.

3/5, August 2021. We stopped here while in town for lunch. It's a country style bakery that offers all manner of baked goods. We got a few items to go. They were good but not orders of magnitude better than any other option. The service was good and they were able to move people through the line fairly quickly despite the small crowd. The prices were high as you would expect from a small business that was trying to set itself out as a premium brand. If you find yourself in the area it's probably worth stopping in. It's probably not worth going all the way out there if you aren't in the area.

Very tasty pies and cakes! They also carry moo thru ice cream and deliver excellent service. One of my favorite places to go!!

Read many reviews and saw the gorgeous pics online of the Shenandoah Apple Cake. Shipped and delivered quickly, but the cake was a mess. Partially collapsed, a mountain of crumbs in the middle (that seemed too perfect to have just been from shipping), and little icing that was discolored and cracking. Thankfully it tasted great, but had this been ordered to serve to others and/or given as a gift, I would have not been happy at all.

We popped in for lunch while visiting another business on Main St. A bit disappointing, we split a chicken salad sandwich; we agreed that the bread to filling ratio made it dry. The bread was good and the salad was good, but the bread over powered the salad.

The food is always good and the ambiance is nice and clean. However, I was shocked at how rude the employees were and how little they seemed to care. My mother and I went to get some sandwiches, a quiche, and a bunt cake which were easily over $70 and we would have bought even more had they not been rude. The employees were so unbelievably rude they would barley even acknowledge or speak to my mother which is unacceptable in the service industry. I have worked in many restaurants and retail stores and anyone who acted like they did towards a customer would have been fired. Hopefully this will be fixed because as of right now we are in no hurry to return.

Stopped by for our first visit today.... GF cookies were amazing! The s'mores cup cake was soo delicious we will definitely be back!

This bakery is just fantastic for its pies and cakes. There are a number of other bakery options to choose from. This trip I got the seasonal Shenandoah apple cake and it was amazing! It is buttery, rich but not too heavy ..if that's possible (see my picture). Every trip to this out of the way location is worthwhile. Quality of products is definitely a 5! The place is clean and service is decent. Why a 4? Hmmm.. there's just something missing here. Maybe the lack of comfortable seating and the homey feel you like to have with bakery/coffee shops. I would redo the interior personally. It very nice but kind of cold and unwelcoming. If you haven't visited and selected a cake or pie it's a MUST! Washingtonian rated the pumpkin pie best in the area!

What a yummy bakery, love that you can order online too through Goldbelly. Having left Virginia, I miss their famous peanuts, but you can even have those shipped to you. And if you really enjoy baking and love their treats, they even sell a cookbook if you want to attempt making some of their specialties at home!

I get my holiday pies either here or at the warrenton location. They are delicious. I love stopping in for baked treats and a hot tea. Great food and great people. Love the atmosphere at this location too, which is bigger inside than warrenton.

Oh yes - I'm right now enjoying a slice of the Applejack cake after our dinner. Delicious and very moist, especially considering it was sent from Virginia to our home near Denver, Colorado. We'll take the Meyer Lemon cake to our friends' home tomorrow and enjoy it after lunch with a glass of Prosecco. My husband also bought one of the cookbooks, which has some recipes we hadn't seen before and that we'll look forward to trying. Salut to the folks at Red Truck Rural Bakery.

During this COVID time, they're running orders out of their side window in the alley. The customer service was great! Very friendly employee who was helpful and giving all utinesels needed, along with generous amount of napkins. Ambiance? Can't vouch for inside, but they have put a few cafe chairs/table in the alley. Best way said is they're working with what they have. Now on to the actual products! The biscuit sandwich was amazing!! However, the pies were good quality but not the best (suggest Mom's in Leesburg or Livin' the Pie Life in Arlington for amazing pies). The crust should be flaky, whereas, the pie crust was made with warm butter oppose to cold.
