37 Best Bakeries in Virginia Beach

“I don't usually write reviews, but the food at this place is legit. I tried the Cuban burrito and quesadilla and they were both great. I'm Cuban, and while this is not traditional Cuban food, the flavors are very traditional - and they are amazing! Perfectly seasoned and a huge hit with my whole family.“

“Wow first time coming here and so impressed by the pastries, crepes and coffee offerings. The atmosphere is also fantastic.“

“When I graduated with my bachelor’s degree, I moved back home to Virginia Beach to begin an online master’s degree program, which was not exactly what I wanted. Nevertheless, I decided to make the most of a less-than-ideal situation through the ultimate studying essential: coffee. I made it a mission to try as many coffee shops in the area as possible and can’t decide if it was a good or bad idea to start with 17 Hands because instead of branching out, I just kept coming back!I was initially drawn to 17 Hands for such a fun assortment of specialty flavors. My quick perusing of their social media accounts indicated a fun atmosphere, so I had to check it out myself. While it’s not somewhere I would go to study, I can confirm the vibes are good. The first drink I tried was the fluffernutter latte, which was a gamble. I am passionate about peanut butter but had never considered pairing it with coffee, and it did not disappoint. As you can probably surmise from the pictures attached, many more fun beverages have since been consumed! I can confidently say that 17 Hands has my favorite cold brew in the area. And what’s not to love about a coffee shop with house-made flavored whipped cream?!One slight drawback is that 17 Hands is no secret—it can get busy on the weekends, and you might have to wait for your drink. That said, I will continue to campaign that good coffee or their INCREDIBLE house-made chai is worth the wait. Come with a friend-- it’s just extra time to enjoy each other’s company, and once the caffeine hits your system, any residual grumpiness is guaranteed to leave your body.All that to say, I will continue to refer friends to 17 Hands. I’ve sampled some other coffee shops, but something keeps pulling me back to 17 Hands. What started as a let’s-make-the-best-of-a-less-than-ideal-situation has now morphed into “Let’s go to 17 Hands to celebrate!”“

“Always so helpful and friendly! Everything we’ve bought has been amazing! Their bread, pies and my faves sour cream coffee cake and the peach pie when peaches are in season is to die for!“

“These cookies are sure to cure your late night sweet tooth. I have to drive past this place every night I leave work, it’s very hard not to stop and get a cookie the size of my face! Everything is perfect about these cookies, ? the flavors rotate so there’s always something new to try, they are probably 1200 calories each, and absolutely delectably delicious from the taste to the texture!“

“Fantastic coffee and pastries. Throughly enjoyed the ambiance and the playlist. Will return to try more specialty lattes.“

“There is just something so irresistible with this place and this bitso-bitso! They have all the Filipino desserts and pastries that will transport you back to your childhood. I highly recommend this place. The service was efficient and friendly!“

“Love this place! I have been a member for about 2 months and so enjoy this club! The instructors are phenomenal and so are the other staff members. I am new to the concept of Pilates and love learning new things everyday.“

“Great lumpia as always but they’ve really stepped up their pancit game as well. Deeeelucious!“

“If you're in the Virginia Beach area and catch a sweet tooth this is the place to be! Excellent desserts, extraordinary service and a wonderful atmosphere.Parking: The only knock here is the road construction currently going on. Made it a little difficult to get to.“

“When you walk in the door everyone greets you with a hello and a smile. I love to visit an establishment where everyone comes across as if they are HAPPY to be at work and eager to assist the customer. And that’s exactly what my daughter and I received when we walked in. And the establishment was SUPER clean inside!!“

“The best cupcakes in Hampton Roads! I've stopped by their truck at CHKD a couple of times now. Their cupcakes are perfect. Always the right amount of sweetness and bold flavor. My favorite is the red velvet. The staff member running the truck is always very friendly. I'm looking forward to trying all of their staple cupcakes and their featured flavors of the month!“

“Visiting from Florida and was told about this bakery and gell in love with the red velvet, lemon pound, delicious sweet potato pie and the bread pudding is to die for. Prefer this over Nothing Bundt cake“

“OMG! I went there for the first time! Delicious!! I had the lemon ice box cinnamon roll and a piece of lemonberry coffee cake! Why did it take me soooo long to get there?? I will definitely be back! The staff was awesome too, explaining how they handle nut free orders (for my granddaughter).“

“It is really good but I went a 1 pm and they didn’t have to many options of bakery . The girl told my friend they were not putting more stuff out for the rest of the day even that they close at 3 pm . The tiramisu was really good so I will go back. I hope next time they have more options .“

“Not that I have ever had a bad experience here but Mahlay truly made my visit for a pickup one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in a long time. It was raining and she still went above and beyond to make sure my pick up was simple and fast. I called ahead to let her know I was on the way and while she was outside talking to another customer she turned and spoke to me and even remembered my name. Thank you Mahlay for such an easy experience. I hope every customer interaction is just as pleasant as you are.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Lots of options on the menu and a huge variety of desserts. They also have a huge selection of gluten free foods and desserts. The staff was so welcoming and polite.“

“The 5 stars is for both the customer service and the food!!I had been emailing with the bakery for a few weeks about our wedding. They always replied promptly (which, when planning a wedding, is a just the best). They even reached out an extra time to see if i had any additional questions.I visited the baker today because I had a sweet tooth. It's such a cute little location with TONS of goodies to choose from. I ended up purchasing a cheesecake brownie and cranberry scone, and OMG, divine!! This is, hands down, probably one of the best bakeries in Virginia Beach.“

“A friend brought us some biscuits & gravy & bacon & cheese kolaches to try about a month ago. All I can say is OMG! I live in NC on boarder of VA so it’s not easily accessible but I will get there soon!“

“Lots of options, and some really creative Pretzel designs. Very friendly staff as well.“

“It's a discount bakery and food store. If you're looking for a more reasonably-priced bread like loafs and bagels and English muffins, this is the place. They have a great selection of snack foods, especially for kid treats and school lunches. They also have easy to prepare soups and seasoning mixes. It's a little hidden gem for families on a budget or older people who don't like the congestion of a Wal-Mart type atmosphere.“

“Thank you so much to my cake lady! Our wedding cake and the cupcakes we ordered exceeded our expectations. Mrs. B is the sweetest lady along with her husband. She worked with us to make sure we had a great tasting cake and excellent experience in the process. My husband does not like traditional cake so I googled cheesecake wedding cakes and this lovely lady popped up. She has great communication and makes amazing cake. I’m so happy we went with you! We ordered 90 assorted cupcakes and a 6 inch key lime cheesecake cutting cake. She made that cutting cake look like an actual wedding cake. People thought it was normal cake! Thank you so much again Mrs. B. :) People keep telling me randomly “oh by the way, that cheesecake was so good.” I was excited to get married but boy I was excited to eat some cake. Please check her out y’all.“

“Delicious pastries, salads and sandwiches. Definitely worth a visit. You will love it.“

“Great people and even better pastry and sweets! Highly recommended! Try the spoon bread!“

“Just recently came back from my Philippines vacation and have been craving similar pandesal. I usually go to another Filipino Bakery nearby but their pandesal is not quite the same. Walked into Roela's bakery and was surprised to see how huge the selection is! Their pandesal is very delicious and closer to the ones I've had in the Philippines. There were so many desserts that I haven't seen before. The ube tiramisu was so delicious! I don't think I will go to another Filipino bakery, Roela's is the real deal!“

“Great Cakes, Great Staff, and Huge Supporters of the Community.“

“I called the bakery today I live in New Jersey. I have a friend that is ill and in a facility close by the bakery today is her birthday. I had no way of getting down there to bring her a cake. I asked the woman on the phone do you deliver and she said we really don’t and then I explained the situation and she’s so kindly said That when she closed the store, she will personally deliver it herself. That was the sweetest thing I’ve heard in a very long time and I want to tell you that you brought tears to and the biggest smile to my friend today. I really do appreciate it and she said your cake was absolutely Delicious to anybody out there. I recommend you go to this bakery you will be satisfied and once again so that kind woman. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Yvonne. I give this bakery five stars“

“My favorite breakfast place in the area“

“We decided to use Incredible Edibles for our wedding and it was the best and easiest choice! They made the tasting SO easy, with a local pick up and at home tasting. We honestly had a hard time choosing what flavors to go with because they were all SO good. We went with a small, simple design for our cutting cake as well some sheet cakes for our guests. My dad (who is a big dessert guy) said it was the best wedding cake he's ever had. Thank you to the team at Incredible Edibles Bakery for making the most beautiful and delicious cake as well as being SO easy to work with! -Lindsey and Colin Ah - The Estate at River Run 5.14.22“
