My husband and I discovered Williams Bakery last holiday season, when I was seeking a gingerbread cookie fix, and my husband came home with these colorful and delicious cookies! Thinking these delightful gingerbread treats were only available during the holiday season, we mistakenly didn’t visit Williams Bakery again until a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the great news: they actually have these wonderful gingerbread cookies year-round, we found out on our most recent visit!So what’s so special about these gingerbread cookies? Loaded with strong ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and molasses flavors, this cookie features crispy edges with a tender center that melts in your mouth. An exciting treat, each bite builds a little from the spice blend, giving your body and soul that all-over warmth that only wintertime spices can. Decorated with a soft, velvety buttercream icing that acts as a sweet foil to the spiciness of the gingerbread, these ginger men and women were donned with candy-coated chocolates as well. Each burst of chocolate flavor combined with the spicy profile of the cookie really made for an interesting and well-balanced experience. As you may imagine, we have decided that Williams Bakery is *the* place to find authentic and delicious gingerbread cookies!Now, it was bright and early in the morning when we arrived at Williams Bakery to relive the past holiday’s memories, and it was chock full of patrons, as well as baked goods! I took myself and my camera on a short tour, as it was crowded (rightfully so!) and therefore difficult to snap lots of photos. Each and every shelf, nook, and table was occupied by the most delightful treats, ranging from classic oatmeal raisin cookies, decadent oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies, colorful M&Ms cookies, their very own Spice Cookies, light and airy angel food cakes, luxurious breads stuffed with nuts and fresh orange, as well as ready-to-heat and serve cream cheese frosting smothered cinnamon rolls. Why, there was even a gingerbread cookie kit for you to decorate your own gingerbread cookies with your loved ones!In addition to the walls and tables piled high with these culinary delights, there was an ample counter stuffed with individual donuts of all sorts, cookies, and other exquisite pastries to be purchased a la carte or by the dozen. Knowing that we were saving our gingerbread cookies for later in the day, we knew we had the perfect reason to order some fresh baked donuts to start our holiday morning, and promptly requested both a lemon filled donut and a cream filled donut.As soon as we got home, we neatly divided each donut so that we could share our breakfast, and each experience the flavors and textures we were so excited about! These donuts were both baked so nicely, with a delicately crisp but tender outside, with a light, fluffy but still doughy inside. What made these donuts sing was their balanced composition, as each was filled with just the right amount of creamy filling, ensuring that each bite had the proper ratio of filling to donut. As for the lemon filling, it gave the perfect amount of “pucker;” it was a well-balanced, sweet and sour flavor with a rich and cheerful attitude. A smooth, ambrosial cream filled the second donut, with its farm fresh ingredients and balanced textures.Hopefully, you can see how joyous our trips to Williams Bakery have been, and you know we’ll be back time and time again. If this location of Williams Bakery is farther from you, don’t worry, there are two more locations in the Richmond area that should suit you!Parking: People are in and out quickly (such fast service!), so there is parking available!

Highly recommend Williams Bakery!! I requested a sheet cake for my daughter's baptism with just less than a week's notice, which they were able to accommodate, but then backed out because a family member wanted to make it. When we realized there wouldn't be enough time to make that in addition to all the other things we were making, I reached back out again and they happily accepted. The cake tasted very real and fresh, and the design was beautiful! There are some bakeries where cakes taste very artificial and boxed, but this is not the case with Williams Bakery. We will definitely be ordering from them again and we can't wait to try their other pastries on display!

Omg, me and my mom used to go to this bakery every Sat. This was my first time going back in three years and let me tell you....... still baked fresh and delicious.
Just discovered Williams! Oh my is it good! The cheese straws are the best and love the "bugs" dessert!

Williams Bakery is a real old-fashioned establishment that has a variety of baked goods from rolls to Donuts. They have a few unique things in their pastries are very good. A coworker used to get two dozen every Friday to share in the office. I like that their chocolate donuts are glazed chocolate but they also have old fashioned with chocolate. I like real donut shops and real bakeries where they take the time to create variety instead of sprinkling cereal on one donut recipe flavor
