I might be a little biased here since I have been going to this bakery since I was little, but Westhampton has the best pastries, doughnuts, cheese crackers, rolls, macarons, and devils food cake - anywhere on the East Coast!! Everything is divine and from, I think, old German recipes. They only use real butter and real sugar, and it is all wonderful. :)

I have been coming here for years. Always delicious and it’s good to support a local business. The owner takes their time answering questions and helping me make a selection. Thank you!

Got a birthday cake and it was not good at all. My daughter got sick and there was something wrong with the cake. The icing did not taste right. It tasted like some cheap cake mix you would get at the grocery store. Never

The baked goods are delicious (Especially the radio bars and eclairs). And, the staff is polite and helpful; They do not make you feel rushed. It always feels clean & light.

I was going to a different donut shop but decided to ride 8 and 1/2 mi out of my way for the best donut in town. I don't regret my decision.
Absolutely my favorite Donut in Richmond. The chocolate glazed is amazingly addictive.

We tried to book them for my wedding a little less than two weeks ago by sending an email. I am not a cake person, and they were the only bakery that offered pies on their website. We did not hear anything back, were in the area, and decided to pop by to try a few goodies. The man behind the counter was very rude when we mentioned we hadn’t heard anything back. He claimed that they didn’t respond because prices of pies were going to change for the holidays. He also made it sound like it would be too late, even though it’s in December. He also kept saying “I think we can do it, but I’m not sure” over and over, which was not professional. An email correspondence explaining this would have been nice rather than not hearing anything as well as a definitive yes or no. Do not recommend for catering services.

I have been going to Westhampton Bakery since I was probably 2 or 3. So around 60 years. I love their eclairs and all of their other chocolate goodies and the cookies are great too. I love their Boston Creme cake, the Carrot cake & their Strawberry cake. I Have never ordered any type of sheet cake from them so I don't know anything about them!
AWFUL service for expensive, fairly good food. Will not take orders online, so I called. I shared the cake order, was put on hold, was hung up on after holding 20 minutes and then called back but was told to hold immediately as they answered. Sent an email about the order and it was never returned. Grumpy employees who sometimes warm up in person, but clearly not over the phone. They do not seem worried about a lost sale or customer so good luck, I'm done.

We ordered a vanilla Christening Cake that cost over $60. Instead they gave us a chocolate cake to which the mother of the baby was allergic. Then the best they could offer was a $15 credit to be used on a future order. They first tried to give us a cake for someone named, Ethan, so I think this was Ethan's chocolate cake with the wrong name on top. Poor customer service.

Only have good things to say over the past couple years. Consistently incredible pastries to pop in and grab on a daily basis, and they made a delicious wedding cake for us without a hitch.

Visited for the first time yesterday, and this place has a wonderful nostalgic feel to it. I got there around three and expected there not to be much left that late in the day but there was still a decent assortment of pastries to choose from. Everything looked and tasted like it was hand made. For $21 I got 4 pastries two iced over cupcakes and a coffee cake, in my his day and age that’s a great deal! Will definitely be returning!

This is my partner's favorite bakery. He grew up going here so it's filled with warm memories for him. His favorite things to get are fudgies and butter stars. He also always raves about how incredible the donuts are when they're available. I would personally give this bakery 3.5 stars. Westhampton Bakery has classic American sweet baked goods. What I mean by that is they feel very sugar heavy/based. Which sounds silly because all baked good are sugar based, but there is something extra sweet about them. Although I wouldn't seek it out on my own, whenever he does get the fudgies and butter stars I do devour quite a few. I think the fudgies are my favorite of the bunch. There isn't any seating inside so it's a grab and go kind of spot. The bakers/cashiers here are kind. It's a very cute and old timey bakery that I enjoy going to mostly because of the smile it brings on my partner's face.
Great donuts very nice
