38 Best Bakeries near Portsmouth

“I have discovered the best desert spot. The selection of cookies, cheesecake in assorted sizes and flavors. I was originally stuck on the banana pudding cheesecake squares but recently I have tried the Strawberry and Keylime. I have not been disappointed. It is great to visit this location for the ambience and variations of cheesecake. This store also sells no crust and sugar free selections.“

“OMG!! This is the best cinnamon roll I have ever tasted!!! We wanted to try something new and searched up cinnamon rolls. The roll was not overbearing with cinnamon, it wasn't too thick, and the icing was perfect. I am so happy we decided to give Lovin' Oven Bakery a try!! Chef's kiss 🤌🏾💋👩🏿‍🍳 Love it! Thank you guys for being everything we wanted and more!! They even added a free roll! 😉 😘“

“great experience & product everytime! the people working are always very kind and the prices are AMAZING (a full mason jar of jelly + brioche bread loaf + an extra snack = 6$!!!!) For such affordable prices compared to big grocery stores, id make the stop everytime especially to support a small business helping the community! by far my favorite corner store in the area!“

“Top notch customer service. Tasty cake. Claire is awesome. I live in Florida and had to order a cake for a party I was hosting in Virginia. The process was smooth and Claire was so nice and very helpful. All my guests absolutely loved the cake. 5 stars!!!“

“Auntie Anne's just like any other. They also carry Green mountain coffee which is nice because the alternative is from subway. Service is always great and the lady's behind the counter are always friendly and seem like the enjoy being there, which translates to all of the customers around.“

“Such a fun place! If you want a true Italian experience where the owners and operators are the ones actively engaged, go see them! Before we left, we got hugs from the chef and lots of laughs!“

“Me ha ido allá para comprar el pan fresco, y siempre está deliciosa. También me había probado su lattes frías y son muy ricas, sólo quisiera que estaban un poquito más grandes por su precio! I have purchased the fresh sweet bread they sell in the store and they’re so delicious and freshly made. I’ve also purchased their iced lattes, and they are fantastic to say the least. I do wish the sizing was a little larger for your pricing, but hands-down I’ve definitely purchased again.“

“cute place and cozy excellent 👌 service by workers“

“Elite Custom Cakes will forever be my go to bakery for amazing cakes! I was absolutely speechless when I went to pick up my cake! Jose has a god given talent! He took my image and suggestions of what I wanted and turned it into the most beautiful cake I have ever seen! ♡♡♡“

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

“We recommend the chocolate chip cookies and the yummy wheat rolls. We also enjoyed custard pies. 😀😀“

“I had Tessa make my son's cake for his birthday. She was professional the cake was beautiful and it was delicious.“

“I ordered a cake for my wife's graduation from University. I gave them a general description of what I wanted along with photos of the colors and details.
In short, they did a great job! The cake came out almost exactly like what I had pictured in my mind and the coloring reflected the school colors perfectly.
We had the carrot cake and it was moist and tasty, with no nuts, thank you very much.

One unusual thing that happened is that the store had written the wrong date down, and I missed the error on the invoice. They made the cake one week too early. Ordinarily this would have cost me a decent penalty because I should have noted the date when I signed the final contract. However, after we discussed the issue they did not charge me the fee and instead used the cake for something else for which it would have been useful. This was unexpected but greatly appreciated.

Great service.
Great cake.
Wonderful decorations.

Thanks Carolina Cupcakery. I will definitely be using you guys again.“

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

“Walked in to the smell of freshly made cupcakes. Now the cupcake was kinda small to me, but for around $3 it was fairly priced. But let's talk about the favor it was good so maybe that's why I wished it was bigger. Will definitely come again and grab more than one.“

“Crumbl never disappoints! The cookies are huge, soft in the center with that perfect chewy edge, and the rotating weekly menu keeps things exciting. I love how creative the flavors are — from classics like Chocolate Chip to fun ones like Churro or Key Lime Pie. The presentation is always on point, and the pink box makes it feel like a treat before you even take a bite. Prices are a little higher than a typical cookie shop, but the size and quality make up for it. Definitely my go-to when I want to treat myself or surprise friends!“

“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 send my fiancé here once a week for their scones and amazing coffee. I’m currently drinking a caramel apple spice and it is so good. Everyone needs to know about this place!!“

“I have used Mesee cupcakes for two custom cakes (with another in the works) and I will continue to order from her from now on. She has A+ customer service along with awesome cakes! They are exactly what I ask for each time and so delicious!“

“All the dipped fruits are delicious and fresh. The customer service is outstanding. I'm happy to have a local baker in the area. I wish much success and always sold out. Just lovely at Lovely Cakes!“

“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“

“We placed a large catering order and everything, from the biscuits, muffins, and cookies, to the pies, cinnamon & raspberry rolls were delicious. Fresh, homemade with clean ingredients. The order was ready on time and Nicki's communication and service were excellent. The perfect local place for all your bakery and dessert needs! 10/10 recommended.“

“Yesterday I visited your Chesapeake,Va location. It was my son’s 10th birthday and he came to pick out his cake, miss Mary made him feel so special. She sing him happy birthday, took our order and hooked my baby up with a free mini lemon Bundt cake. Not only was the customer awesome the cake was amazing. We will definitely be back to that specific location. Thank you Mary for making my babies special day amazing !“

“Absolutely delicious cookies! They were fresh and packed with amazing flavor. The packaging was beautiful and kept everything perfectly intact during shipping. Delivery was fast, and my order arrived in perfect condition. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality, delicious treats“

“Amazing, delicious!!! I wish they had a location in Williamsburg I was blown away by how flavorful their desserts are. The prices are really good too. I bought like 3 different things at the farmers market from them and it was only $6. I was very pleasantly surprised.“

“I must start by saying that I am a cupcake connoisseur as they are my weakness. I had a chance run in with the owner and her one daughter while they were in Washington D.C. after they did a wedding. In talking to the I mentioned my fondness of cupcakes and they happened to have two cupcakes of their own and they were kind enough to give them to me. As it was at breakfast I didn’t eat them. I returned home to Pennsylvania and ate them the following day. Thus they were now two day old cupcakes and they were still moist and delicious. I was hooked with the cookie butter and I forget what the other one was. I looked them up online and too bad they don’t shop cupcakes as they are 5 1/2 hours from my home. I do plan to go off course when traveling south to get cupcakes from them. These women are amazing bakers and great personable people. One class act at the top of their game. Thanks Dawn and Lindsey for one amazing cupcake.“

“I love this place! They have the best donuts! When I go there I feel like I'm visiting old friends because they are so nice and helpful. The Italian Lemon Cake is wonderful and so are the pies. I haven't had anything that I don't like“

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

“We are obsessed with your gluten free cake can you please make more flavors!!!!“

“Soft pretzels, always fresh, fast service. I give a 4 because everytime you go in, they have to make something. Im all for fresh, and I love their pretzels, but sometimes its inconvenient. They need their own till in my opinion because it can get confusing if you are the next in line or someone from subway. And please speak up for hard of hearing people.“

“The food is delicious! I’ve been here a few times, and my top tip, come early if you want the best picks. The good stuff goes fast, and for good reason, since this is one of the best Filipino food spots around.
In terms of food, I especially enjoyed the papaitang Kambing and Kaldereta, which are chef’s specials on Saturdays.“

“I just had their new chocolate peanut butter cookies. My GOD… Freaking delicious ? !! If you love peanut butter, Reese’s, or a fan of chocolate and peanut butter you’ll absolutely love this cookie. Super soft and decadent. A must try!! You won’t be disappointed“

“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.“
