Went today for the first time and was blown away. We had the quiche of day and it was the best I've had hands down. Also had the pumpkin chiphon cake that was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back.

Cruffin tasted very good, although the format is a bit challenging to eat. The quiche was alright, I just wish it came with something more (like a side salad) so it could work as lunch. There is a large free parking right next to the shop.

I have been a home baker my whole life. I grew up competing in county fairs, placing against adults by age eight. I've had the opportunity to eat pastries all over France. I am not a professional by any means, but I know what good baking tastes like. Everything I've been served here has been incredible. Perfectly baked. Incredible attention to detail and consistency. Flavors are always completely on point. It's a treasure to have nearby. Staff are always pleasant. Coffee drinks, again, just the attention to detail on flavors is wonderful. Everyone seems happy to be there, which is also really nice to see. They have limited, but available gluten free items, too. Usually an assortment of 1-3 rotating baked goods and a wide variety of macarons.
We absolutely love May’s Parlor!! The BEC breakfast sandwich is one of my all-time favorite breakfast sandwiches, and their flavored lattes are the best in Norfolk.
One of my favorite cafes/bakery. The pastries are fresh and there's always a pretty big selection and new ones every week. The drink menu is huge and there's new flavors all the time. The space inside is super cute and inviting. There's never a wait and there's a few tables inside and few tables outside. It's a busy place but there's always seating. Clean bathroom. Everytime I go I always get extra cookies, they're huge and so delicious. Anything you get here, you can't go wrong, always delicious.
I visited VA beach back in July and tried May’s Parlor.
I have literally been craving their chocolate croissants SINCE THEN and I’m states away- which is obviously why I’m compelled to write a review, months later. Definitely would visit again! <3

I was gifted three tasteless, dry, inedible macaroons Saturday from May's and am stunned by the previous comments. Not sure when or where your previous macaroons experience was but I can promise May's was the polar opposite. The double chocolate was the best of the three but that's not a compliment. The lavender macaroon tasted like soap and I'm not sure what the tan macaroon was, but other than sugar and shortening? any other food profile was absent. Perhaps the bakers had a bad day but these tasted of bad factory and cardboard box.

One of the BEST breakfast sandwiches in the area. The brioche bread is INSANE. Definitely recommend trying

May's is a nice little spot for pastries, coffee and light brunch & lunch fare. The inside reminds me of an old timey ice cream parlor, and the metal chairs were uncomfortable, but everything else is pretty nice! The server comped an item on our meal that came out late, so huge kudos for that. The breakfast sandwiches we got were tasty but a bit heavy on the aioli. Still a good place to know about for a scone and a coffee :)
Excellent little bakery with lots of fun and delicious options! Loved the blueberry brioche danish, perfectly sweet while not overbearing, and the fig and caramelized onion and goat cheese scone, nice and savory with subtle flavors, and excellent warmed up a bit.

The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was so unique, and soooooo good. It was delicious!!!! Pleasant surprise. The cheese was so creamy and melty and the brioche bun was one of the best I’ve ever had. Great place. The staff were super kind.

I was excited to see something finally open up where the old Pasha coffee house was. But this bakery didn’t live up to the hype. The pastries are very good but really expensive. The staff are not friendly or particular helpful at all, but it is worth the occasional visit.
