Their bread is also great as is their granola; too bad the granola becomes a bit too pricey if you want them to mail it, though it's nice they have that option. Just a premier bakery worthy of the Charlottesville food scene.

I've been going up to Staunton often recently for family matters, and I've loved taking time to…read morecheck out all the local businesses when I'm able to. Reunion has been a breath of fresh air - really good espresso drinks, pastries, and breads. To be 100% honest, Crucible's coffee is better, but their pastry selection is minuscule and they can feel a bit stuffy. Reunion's pastries are good, though I wish they had more French-inspired things like pain au chocolat, croissants, or even soft cinnamon rolls, but I feel they excel more at the breads side of baking. I got a mini sourdough loaf once and it was excellent! Service is always friendly and happy, and the shop itself is cute, but there isn't much space inside. I'm all for tables outside, but there's not much real estate there either, especially on a busy morning. I think a small adjustment to flow could make it easily sit a couple cafe tables inside without it feeling so crowded. I just miss the days of being able to hang out and have good coffee and snacks while doing some work on a laptop. Seems like most businesses would rather have you out the door instead. I have high standards for bakeries and cafes, and Reunion meets most of them. They're now my favorite place to go in the mornings in Staunton... if they're open. I would go there much more often if I could actually eat my breakfast there instead of having to get back in my car or sit in the blistering summer heat.

A local recommended that I check out MarieBette Cafe for an afternoon pick me up and I am so glad…read morethat we decided to visit! This cute little European inspired coffee shop makes a MEAN peach matcha made with a housemade syrup from locally-picked peaches. Honestly, it doesn't get any better than that! We were also on the search for their famous pretzel croissant but unfortunately it was sold out (and usually sells out earlier in the day). We will definitely have to come back again to try.

I ended up here mainly because Cou Cou Rachou is closed on Monday. This place was quite crowded (on…read morea holiday morning) and was struggling to keep items in stock, running out of cookies while I was there and having issues with their oven as well. I ended up getting a brioche with a chocolate hazelnut filling, which delivered amply on texture, though the amount of hazelnut was quite small. An unsweetened iced tea was a good compliment to the sweet bread. Their cooked food menu was modest and didn't have much for me, and they were struggling to get it out anyway. It's a nice space, and there is certainly some quality in the baked goods, but I came out thinking that if my usual spot right up the road was open, I wouldn't even think of coming here.

Beautiful bakery with wonderful service and such an amazing cupcake selection, some unique flavors…read moretoo. Flavors we tried: vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, raspberry white chocolate cookie dough and vanilla with strawberry icing and chocolate shavings (not sure of the actual name). All were very tasty, but for me, the highlights were chocolate (excellent), red velvet and vanilla, just amazing, all moist with the right amount of icing. Really want to come back for other flavors. The staff member that helped us was so friendly and helpful. She let us know that it's a good idea to buy in advance as they sell out quickly. She wasn't kidding! When we came back after lunch to pick up our cupcakes that we did buy in advance, some of the flavors were completely gone! So if you know what you want, get it right away.

Baked on the James is an adorable bakery right on the main drag (the only drag) of Scottsville…read more They have a wide variety of cupcake flavors that rotate seasonally and daily (check their social media for a list of flavors!). They are a small batch bakery so their flavors do sell out throughout the day so I recommend getting their early if you don't have a pre-order. Service is quick and staff are very helpful. Small tables a small selection of gift items in store. Cute little bee mural. The cupcakes we have purchased have universally been moist and the frosting has always been the perfect texture and not overly sweet. My husband particularly enjoyed the maple bacon and our guest loved the M&M cookie dough (even the cookie dough tastes homemade in the best way). We know what stop to make when we have guests now!

Seriously, these were some of the best scones I've ever had - crispy sweet outer texture, soft and fluffy on the inside, no crumbly mess like other scones. Wide selection of teas to choose from - I picked the lightly fruity Lady Grey, my husband the warm and toasty Genmaicha. And the savory sandwiches were a step up from the basic white bread standard - roast beef on a pretzel bun, tuna on a croissant, open faced cucumber, chicken with roasted red pepper spread. A lovely way to spend a late morning or early afternoon in downtown Harrisonburg.

Let me preface this with the fact that I've never been to a Mexican bakery before and had no clue what the pastries were I was looking at. I immediately fessed up to the woman working there and asked her to tell me what to get. She was really helpful and friendly and explained everything in the shelves so I'd know what I was getting. The flavors and textures are different from what I've been used to at Italian bakeries, but everything was super yummy. Unlike so many fresh pastries, the leftovers were still moist and fluffy the next day and made for a second good breakfast. The price was great for the quality and quantity ($7-8 for 6 huge pastries). This may be a regular stop when we're in the Harrisonburg area now.

I asked her to make Texas sheet cake, of which she'd never done, and she discovered there was a chocolate and a blonde recipe out there. She made both, not know which we preferred, and also added a few other cupcakes to add color and more flavor to our assortment - all of her own doing and not asking to charge us extra. We gladly compensated her for her sweet thoughtfulness and for treating our daughter's wedding as if it were thing she had on her plate. She's delightful, dependable, and took our daughters wedding personal to make it a beautiful presentation. We travelled back to TN with the few left over desserts and I seriously have hidden them to eat them myself. Highly recommend. She's very responsive and a pro and her sweet husband helped with the delivery.
