36 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.“

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 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!“

“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.

We will definitely be back to that specific location. Thank you Mary for making my babies special day amazing !“

“Our wedding was on July 11th and we ordered from Storybook Bakery because they were the only bakery who had reasonable prices for a 3-tier wedding cake. Our cake was only $326 which was phenomenal because other places were charging $800-$1,000 for a 3-tier wedding cake.

I really loved the user-friendly website they had. Ordering was so simple and easy and I was able to order a gorgeous pre-made, 3-tier cake, that Jessica and Erik were able to add our wedding colors to. The cake was a vintage style cake and it quite elegant. The top two layers were vanilla with the bottom being chocolate. The cake was delicious, moist, with the perfect amount of buttercream icing. The guests absolutely loved the chocolate as it had layers of what looked like fudge in between the layers or cake. The slices were a mile high tall and did I mentioned the moistness of the cake?! It was amazing. The vanilla was delicious as well, but the chocolate was the crowd favorite.

Our guests loved the cake. We will be ordering from Jessica and Erik in the future for events and milestones. We also support veteran owned businesses. Look no further if you want a beautiful and reasonably priced wedding cake!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Drivers DO NOT GO TO ADDRESS it will take you to a closeed gate maked with red X on picture
Go to green spot look at picture

Great place everybody very nice tight place to get to plenty of room/space to back in to a dock door“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
