14 Best Bakeries in Norfolk

“I was given a mini key lime pound cake today as small gift from a coworker. Words cannot describe how WONDERFUL it was!!! This was my first one but I WILL be by this weekend to pick up an assortment! THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!!!“

“I've been wanting to visit this cute bakery for a while, so I was excited to finally stop by. When I arrived an hour after opening, the place was empty. There were three staff members—a barista, a cashier, and a bakery attendant. Of the three, only the bakery attendant greeted me with a friendly "Good morning," which I appreciated. The barista completely ignored me and the cashier was borderline unfriendly.

I would have liked a moment to browse the menu and bakery selection, but the cashier seemed impatient. A simple, "Is this your first time here? Would you like any recommendations?" would have been good enough.

I ordered the quiche which was bland. I also ordered the gluten free strawberry bar and that was absolutely delicious, so I might be back just for that.“

“Beautiful cake made for my 30th bday. Thanks again ❤️❤️“

“Great time . Big place where you can sit and talk while eating. Great tasting food and attentive servers and staff“

“Her custom cakes are beautiful and taste wonderful. We have ordered several over the years and they always bring gasps from our guests when served.“

“I stop in over with my daughter as a surprises treat for her she got a Danish and a bread pudding for later both where amazing. The place was so amazing and clean (19 years in food service clean is number one on my list) I will definitely be coming back to this place. Best customer service, best price's and amazing food“

“Every flavor is delicious. Bread pudding is the secret jam. S'mores Amore is a Downtown Norfolk staple!“

“cute place and cozy excellent 👌 service by workers“

“I was left stuck after another bakery had to back out on my order. DeMarco was the only one who was willing to step up on a short notice and help me. He made a horror themed cake for my wife's 40th Birthday, and it was PERFECT. Everything that I had hope to have done was done and I could not have been happier. From the black chocolate frosting to the raspberry filling that oozed out like vlood when cut, DeMarco showed that his expertise is worth my loyalty as a customer. I look forward to seeing what he can do for us in the future!“

“I bought several dozen cookies for our son’s wedding to add to our “Pittsburgh cookie table” using the online form. Nikki responded quickly and was very communicative. The cookies, molasses, oatmeal, peanut butter and thumbprints were all incredible. The home cooked, fresh, delicious taste yet beautiful uniformed presentation made them a hit and the first to go at the wedding. If you need cookies, go to Chicken Scratch Bakery, you won’t be sorry.“

“I walked in to a clean and welcoming store. The lady working explained to me that I could get the lunch special or purchase items from their store. I got the chicken adobo with rice and then some ube pan. It was DELICIOUS. I applauded to an empty room after my first bite. Everything tasted super fresh. Thank you to the staff that helped me with my first visit! Will be back to try the Lumpia“

“Fast unload once you get into the door I talked to several people in receiving very polite very professional and when it comes to getting into this place make left on olney and left into driveway. The other way to get in I was told that gate is permanently locked so olney is only way in. I had good experience will come here again.“

“it's different, it's creative, and by far delicious!!“

“My mother hired them to make the cake for my graduation party from Hampton University this past Sunday on Mother's Day and it was amazing. They brought my entire vision and design to life in absolute perfection and I definitely recommend using them for your next event.“
