We did a sheet cake for my shower as we wanted the cake to be the star. Their catalog of creative cakes is incredible!! Their location in Matthews is a beautiful little shop in Matthews station (near the CM public library & Pizza Peel.) They have lemon or almond cake by the slice daily or today's special was key lime cake. $5 a slice is very reasonable for such yummy flavors. Plus the slices are huge and shareable size if you want. Truly a mouthful of happiness with strong lovely lime and citrus in a buttercream frosting of key lime. I highly recommend their cakes and thinking this combination of cakes and library books is wonderful!! Parking is in the public lots or spaces in Matthews station.

The interior is beautifully decorated and feels warm and inviting. I also loved the thoughtful touches like seating, books, and a little toy kitchen set for kids, which makes it feel especially family-friendly. The baked goods were fantastic across the board, but the chai cookie and oatmeal cream pie were definite standouts. Overall, this is such a cozy, welcoming bakery with amazing treats and a lot of character. I'll definitely be coming back to try more!

I was in Charlotte for a business meeting and decided to stop by The Batch House to sample a few…read morepastries and bring something home to my wife. From the outside, it is an adorable spot with a beautiful, inviting building. Unfortunately, the remarkably unfriendly welcome I received inside immediately crushed my enthusiasm and made me regret walking in. I very nearly turned around and left. I can't say whether the staff was simply having a bad day, whether I didn't look like their usual clientele, or whether something else was going on. Whatever the reason, the interaction tainted my visit from the start. I purchased a Funfetti cupcake, a chocolate chip cookie, a snickerdoodle cookie, and a Key lime pie bar. The chocolate chip cookie was merely okay. Personally, I think a standard Nestlé Toll House cookie made at home would have been better. The snickerdoodle, on the other hand, was outstanding and easily the highlight of everything I tried. The Key lime pie bar had a wonderfully creamy texture and a lovely graham cracker base, but it contained barely any Key lime flavor. There was no citrus punch or brightness--just a smooth, creamy custard on top of graham cracker. The cupcake and frosting both had excellent flavor, but the cake itself was far too crumbly. A little more moisture and structure would have made it much more enjoyable and prevented it from falling apart. Overall, the baked goods were a mixed bag but showed some real potential. Unfortunately, I probably won't return. Even good pastries have a difficult time overcoming an experience with staff who make you feel unwelcome, and I don't particularly enjoy spending money somewhere that leaves me feeling that way. To those about to nosh, best of luck--and consider wearing a little emotional body armor.

They have a variety of items that they sell and the cakes are really yummy; however where they lose the stars are the fact that they do not accept certain coupons like buy one get one that are accepted every store, this choice has me wondering how long this establishment will be present at this area. They really should follow what other stores do in the city of Charlotte do to be consistent. It's optional to get your purchase from this location. Honestly after visiting I would go to the other ones. Good luck

As an avid home baker and lover of all things local, this place has everything I want in a local…read morebakery. Well-crafted, naturally leavened breads and pastries w/ a rustic twist, exceptional service, delicious local coffee and all of the good vibes. I recently visited and picked up some pastries - a croissant, a pain au chocolat, and my fave: a kouign- amann. You know how your chocolate croissant never has enough chocolate? Virtuoso serves up the right balance of flaky, buttery, crackly pastry w/ a nice thin layer of chocolate that covers the entire base of the pastry - perfection! These aren't croissants are airy and light as they should be. Now to my fave - the kouign-amann with a twist. A buttery toasty laminated pastry similar to croissant but and filled with a creamy not-to-sweet egg custard that will make you swoon! It's like if a a kouign-amann and a Portuguese pastel-de-nata had a baby! #IYKYK They have a great variety of sourdough breads including baguettes, country loaves and some made with locally-milled whole grains. The coffee is locally roasted Enderly coffee. The record player spins cool tunes and the good vibes are off the charts. What a blessing to have this place in our backyard. Runs don't walk, y'all.

There is a lobby area with a few tables. Another side room with a Pac-Man console table. Then the small space where you can order your baked goods, coffees and teas. There isn't much space when the lines get long. Its a bit awkward to get in and out of the main store. But what you get in that room after making your way through the line is some high quality goodies. Some things I can't even pronounce. I got some flaky pastry with a custard filling. It was crispy, sweet and delicious. I also tried a few bites of a coffee cake made with ginger cream cheese and blackberry. My family loves this place and comes often. I'm from out of town so this might be a one and done for me. But it was worth checking out.

If you're craving cookies, cupcakes, milkshakes, or soft serve, this is definitely the place to go. One thing I really loved is that the soft serve comes with unlimited toppings. If you run out of room, they'll transfer it to a larger bowl for just $2 more, which I thought was a great value. I ordered two cookies to take home--the classic chocolate chip and the churro--as well as a churro milkshake. The milkshake was perfectly blended, deliciously sweet, and topped with fresh whipped cream. It was definitely an indulgent treat that's worth the splurge. Both cookies were soft, flavorful, and you even have the option to add icing and extra toppings if you want to take them over the top. The service was friendly, the concept is fun, and everything felt fresh. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood for a sweet treat!
