Baked goods are always great. Especially the rotation of different flavors of cruffins.

The food and coffee was really great and the employees were nice. But really disappointing there were no high chairs or even a changing table in the bathroom, my friend had to change her baby on a pad on the floor and I did my baby’s in the trunk of my car in the cold wind. Wish they would consider accommodating parents of little ones.

Norfolk location.... we have visited so many times and I'm always excited to see what is available for the day. The Cruffins are a must have no matter what. I wait for the flavor or the week announcement and immediately send it to my other half as he works only a few blocks away in hopes of him bring me one home. I work Monday through Friday until 5pm so I have to try to game for Saturday Mornings... My step son always requests to go for the BEC Sandwich no sauce!!! He has also grown to love that Mint Lemonade. We have never been disappointed with any purchase. Can't wait to try more and definitely need to go to the beach location.
Tiny little bakery/food place. Had the lox croissant which was pretty good. The cinnamon roll thing was a little dry. Not bad.

Food is amazing. Oh my goodness they do not miss! Everything is so good. So happy to have a proper kouign amann in Ghent.Coffee is okay. It’s definitely coffee. Wide selection of lattes and flavors to choose from. Not super keen on la colombe, it it serves its purpose.Atmosphere sucks, though. The yellow walls are so abrasive and upsetting.Great for takeout
I had to write a review for the Norfolk location finally! I usually go to the OG location, but I actually love this newer one as it's by my house and has about the same items/it not exactly the same hahah. I love love LOVE this place. It's always so clean, neat, and very friendly! They have an amazing assortment of pastries and lunch items! Today I got the Christmas weekly item which is Grinch croissants that are "ROAST BEAST", which are roast beef filled croissant Christmas trees lathered in garlic butter. I am so obsessed and wish I would have gotten more. This place is very easy to go in and get a quick bite. They have a few sit down tables where you can enjoy right there as well. It fits a decent amount of people going in for a quick bite! I can't say how much I love Mays Parlor and enjoy how well they pay attention to detail with their food. It's like stepping into a New York bakery, and being back home. Such a lovely little shop. I am your fan forever, Mays Parlor! You don't disappoint!

Great pastries! It can get a little hectic because they are so popular but absolutely worth the wait! The rotating cruffin flavors are fun and delicious.The breakfast sandwich is a great go to and I don’t usually like eggs so that is saying something! Their order ahead holiday offerings are always a hit! 10/10

Always a treat to drop by May’s Parlor. They have a lot of creative and delicious baked treats from macarons to cruffins to cookies, cakes, quiches, etc etc. They also have artisan sandwiches and serve up coffee beverages. Since it’s Fall season, I wanted to take home a slice of their pumpkin cheesecake! Love it! Must come by to patronize this cute and sweet establishment!
Makes a strong argument for best breakfast sandwich in town. Staff is always friendly and restaurant is always clean. Love frequenting this hidden

I rarely find myself in Norfolk, but as luck would have it, I had to run an errand in the area last week. It'd been a while since my last visit to the Oceanfront location and I'd never been to this one, so it was a prime opportunity to indulge in May's delights.I'd not had my caffeine fix for the day, so we started with a couple of lattes, perfect for the chilly weather day. The hubs and I had a couple of sandwiches for lunch - he the Ham & Brie and I the Turkey Bacon Pesto. He enjoyed his sandwich. As for me? I wanted to have 10 of mine; it was so damn good. It had the perfect balance of all the ingredients. I swear I could eat that sandwich every day and never get sick of it.Of course, we couldn't leave without a box of goodies that included a cruffin (I HAD to have) and a few other sweets from the cases. It wasn't an obscene amount, but it took a few days to eat it all, nonetheless. The standout for me was the s'mores cheesecake. It was light yet rich in flavor, which is a bonus for me since I'm not a fan of super heavy desserts these days.The service was super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be looking for another excuse to go to Norfolk again soon!

Adorable!I had no clue that a May's Parlor was in Ghent until I saw it pop up on my instagram feed. I immediately went the next day. No wonder I didn't know it was here, it's definitely tucked back in a shopping center between W 22nd and 23rd St. There was plenty of parking, but we had walked the dog so no need.Food- 5/5 hands down. We order the Quiche of the day, pain au chocolate, BEC, and two drinks (iced coffee and hot chai). Two major stars were the BEC and pain au chocolate. BEC had bacon, egg frittata, and a white cheddar with a garlic aioli on the best brioche I've had in a long time. They were very busy at 10:30am when we arrived, so the staff seemed slightly overwhelmed but handled it fairly well. The inside was adorable, only about 5 tables indoors and another 6 outside. But it was well decorated, and smelled SO GOOD. Happy Norfolk finally has an amazing pastry shop that isn't a pain to park/ walk to! Thank you!
