“Amazing design AND taste!! Kelley made 3 golf-themed cakes for our birthday weekend. The large cake was a 3-tier golf "Caddy Shack" cake. EVERYTHING was edible, including the gopher ;). I hope Kelley will post a photo of the cake/s, since it won't let me do it here.“

“Best baked goods and Bubble tea selection ever! Blows away Panera and Starbucks.“

“We got our first cake here for my daughter's first birthday and it was beyond amazing! The cake was beautiful and it tasted so good! Heather is so talented and we will definitely be going here every year! Highly recommend!!“

“I spent days searching for a local baker who could make a sugar and dairy free wedding cake, and now this is the only place I trust for allergen friendly desserts. I've tried many local bakeries that supposedly cater to allergies only to literally throw $40 desserts in the trash because they're inedible. But not Marie, the desserts she makes taste amazing every time. She's super creative and is always coming up with new recipes, great customer service! If you have allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions, this lady is the baker to go to!“

On the day, the wedding cake looked exactly like the inspirational photos we had sent over and it tasted even better than it looked. The price was great and we got lots of compliments. If you’re looking for anything custom made in the Richmond area we would highly recommend!“

“You know those places you walk into and just stop, take a look around and soak in the smell? Yeah, that's RVA Bakehouse. I basically just hand them my wallet when I go in. Coffee is good, scones and cinnamon rolls are AMAZING along with just about everything else. You really can't go wrong here.

As a side note: We use their product as prizes for local mountain bike races that we host and everyone who receives one is hyped.“

It's all great, and my favorite by far is the Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread. I once ate three of these in one sitting, with no regrets. The staff was friendly, and the choices are PLENTIFUL.“

“Sefton is the greatest cafe in richmond, the staff are so kind to everyone who comes in. I get the same thing every time I come in to the point where barista’s and the owners know my order 😂. I get it bc it’s easy on my stomach, but they have such an amazing looking menu and are always changing it to fit the season! I always make sure to bring friends and family who are visiting here because it really is a special part of the community 🙂“

“Literally the best cake I've had in a long time. The cake takes me back to my childhood...it was amazing. They made a turtle shell cake which we thought no one would be able to deliver and it was better than the picture we sent.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Super sweet owners. We were offered tasty samples of several items. We went gor lunch and left with extra food for the weekend. Hummus creamy and delicious 😋. We'll definitely be back. yummy“

“We used the mixing bowl for our wedding this past May. I had such a lovely experience with them throughout the entire planning process. They really helped us narrow down our options and speak to the way in which each flavor and icing style would present aesthetically so that we could help coordinate our choices to fit our wedding! They also were extremely patient as our guest count fluctuated and allowed us to edit our guest count accordingly up until the very end! The cupcakes and cake turned out BEAUTIFULLY! People were absolutely raving about how delicious the wedding cake was — some even said it was the best they’ve ever had! They also helped facilitate our design plan of incorporating edible flowers into our desserts. It looked so cool and unique! I would totally recommend them to anyone in the market for a wedding or event. They’re great!“

“Look forward to the oatmeal cream pies every year when we come down for the Richmond Marathon. Thanks so much for whipping up another batch tonight!! Perfection! #WillRunForOCP“

“Westhampton Pastry Shop (or as my family always called it, “Westhampton Bakery”) has been the bakery to which my parents took us. My favorite has always been the butter cookies, but the cheese danishes, Gingerbread Men, cakes, bread, and honestly, everything is delicious! I just returned from there with a big smile on my face the friendly staff and our chats. Now, do dive into to one of the delicious things I bought. But, which first?“

“My favorite coffee spot in Richmond ☕️“

“My wife and I stopped in for a snack and I am never disappointed. Auntie Anne pretzels are sooooooo delicious by themselves or with a dip (my personal favorite is the sweet glaze and my wife's is the cheese). Although it was loud in there, they got the order right, fast, and efficiently. All the staff looked quite happy and having a good time, but that doesn't take away from the customer. I'll definitely be back to this location.“
