Such a cute adorable coffee shop over by Grove! Seriously, it felt like I was in a Hallmark movie... lol! Latte was delicious and service was excellent. Looking forward to trying other menu items next time around. :)

Chocolate icing, vanilla sheet cake
Candace

I chose this bakery because I was celebrating a special event, a retirement party, and I was on cake duty. It was recommended for me to go to a grocery chain bakery to get the cake, which is really a staple in a lot of the circles that I'm in. But I hate their cake. So I decided to take a chance and try Cameo. I've had their cupcakes in the past, and I couldn't recall if I was very blown away by them, but I decided to give them a try because it was the thirteenth hour, and I needed to make a game-time decision. The bakery is beautiful with indoir and outdoor seating. A small group quietly played a game at one of the tables and it was lovely seing them enjoy their company. When I received the cake, it looked very lackluster. I was not impressed with the decorations, which may have been a gap in the way i ordered online. It wasnt my priority and i really wanted to make sure that it tasted amazing and that everyone enjoyed it. The person at the bakery who helped me gave me specific instructions on giving it time to thaw, not letting it sit out, and was very helpful in that way. When it came down to serving the cake, everyone was blown away. Everybody asked me where I got the cake from. Even our honoree, who typically does not like cake, wanted more. It was just a big hit. The host of the party threw a small fit, thinking we didn't squirrel any of the cake away for them, but we did. And some people tried to take more than their share home (they were stopped). I was very proud to serve it, and if anybody wants to celebrate me and not get a Cameo cake, I'm going to turn into Miss Trunchbull from Matilda and make them eat the whole cake themselves.

Birthday Cake Cupcake, red velvet cupcake
Shayla M.

Stopped in to pick up a couple of cupcakes. The interior is beautiful and a place where you can sit inside and enjoy the view. I tried the red velvet and a birthday cake flavor. The cupcakes were okay. I don't know if I was blown away with the texture of the cake. I thought the flavor options were pretty good. The workers were friendly.

Classic Cinnamon Roll

Cameo is so lovely! We visited to experience the festive decorations and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. We made a reservation on their website and upon arrival, I was glad we did. There's limited seating indoors, about 10 tables mostly for parties of 2. There's also patio seating with a few space heaters. There was 1 server handling all the tables indoors and she was fantastic. We tried a couple lattes, croissant sammies, and the cinnamon roll. The chicken salad sammie was my favorite. The croissant was fluffy and buttery and the chicken salad was refreshing. The cinnamon roll was great too, though a tad too sweet for me, and is made with croissant dough.

Red velvet espresso martini
Nancy C.

The Boston Cream Pie Cupcake is what dreams are made of!! The chocolate frosting on top pairs well with the yellow cake and, as a fun bonus, there is delicious Boston cream in the middle! It does sell out so be prepared to go on the earlier side if you really want it. They also have an incredible espresso martini and fun holiday variations like a red velvet espresso martini. The restaurant always decorates for holidays making it a fun place to go for a holiday brunch or just a midday pick me up!

Yelp says I've been six times, so I suppose I'm a touch overdue for a review. Cameo is a gem. I love how they decorate for the seasons; it always feels bright, in touch, and thoughtful. They have their own little parking lot too, which is nice in a pinch. I don't think I've ever had a subpar pastry there. They're known for their cupcakes, and most recently I tried their gingerbread - so good! I also love their seasonally inspired cocktails. I had the gingerbread white russian and it was lovely. I also brought the sage sausage savory cake home to my boyfriend after a girls' visit, and the dude inhaled it in like 10 seconds flat. Service is friendly, prices are reasonable, and I will be back I'm sure!

Salted caramel toffee, double chocolate, white chocolate raspberry, birthday cake
Grace K.

I struggled to rate this place. Cute place, good coffee, not good cupcakes. I got an iced caramel macchiato and that was a solid 4.5 +. Very coffee forward and I can taste the caramel. The cupcakes were a 2.75. They look good- but they were dry (especially the almond raspberry) The vanilla cake was maybe the better of the four cupcakes - softer but tasty eggy / chewy. Not really soft and moist. The chocolates were both dry, dense, and not soft. The raspberry jam tasted chemically. The best part of the four cupcakes was the chocolate ganache on the double chocolate. The inside was extremely cute and cozy looking. The service was nice and friendly.

So cute! Sat at the bar with my bestie and ordered her favorite....pimento! We'd been coffee hopping and the platter was a great pause on our journey. The espresso martini was delish and I really liked the energy in this spot! Oooo and the cinnamon roll was OOOEY GOOEY GOOD!

Winter cocktail menu
Diamond N.

Very nicely decorated cafe/bakery for the holiday. Small so unless you're open to outside seating not very ideal for groups larger than 4-6! A variety of coffees and tea are available plus a full bar. We didn't dine here as my group had brunch elsewhere but we all enjoyed our drinks. I had the seasonal White Russian which was delicious. My fiance and another friend enjoyed the mimosa flight. I also got a cupcake which was good but a little dry because I think it was refrigerated. I would try a baked good again but would get it to go and enjoy at home at room temperature. Our server was a very sweet vcu student whose name I don't remember but she's very attentive and kind!

Cappuccino

Great vibe with the furniture, the decoration, and the colors in the indoor space. The outdoor space looks very enjoyable, but I haven't sat there yet. The staff is friendly and polite. Although I try to stay away from sweets, their cupcakes look delicious. Illl have to have one of my kids try them and tell me if they are good :) I do like their cappuccino.

Cute cup
Christina S.

Vibes: impeccable. Beautiful outdoor seating area remniscent of if you visited your posh neighbor's front lawn for afternoon tea. Inside is cozy with separate areas of seating. The bathroom is beautifully decorated as well. 100/10  Service: nice service overall, i didnt realize it was a full service restaurant at first. The servers were really nice and chill with me treating it as a coffee shop even though they were full service. The menu was a little confusing but that could have just been my own fault. 4/5 Food: i noticed they had a lot of alternative options for different dietary preferences (veg, gluten free, dairy free, etc) which was really cool. I got a ham and cheese croissant. It was buttery with good flavor but looked... deflated... which was an interesting presentation. I am curious to try their flatbreads though! 3/5 until I come again for some other options Cakes: extra category for the cakery! I... didnt get a cake but i heard they are good. Oops  Drink: i got a coffee, it was solid. I'd give it a 3.5. Their creative mixed drinks look really fun, and it definitely goes with the cute vibe they have Worth: Yes. If you are looking for a place with cute af ambience to chat with a friend or take family out for some time together, this isna solid pic. For the vibes and the very kind service, I'd come back! I disclaimer, I didnt try their cakes and I understand they are known for those.

A friend of mine has been telling me for years that they have the best chocolate chip cookies in the city here at Cameo, and shame on me for taking so long to finally visit. I wanna gatekeep but honesty and transparency and what not... The chocolate chip cookies are sold in sandwich form, and they were rolled in sprinkles this particular day. I'm not a fan of sprinkles... I know that makes me sound like the Grinch of desserts, but they induce unnecessary chewing and have very little detectable flavor, at least not enough to warrant their presence. In/on ice cream, they're intolerable. On cookies, however, I can manage. For the best cookie in RVA? Sprinkle me up, baby. The cookie was soft, thick, and extra salty which works so very well with the other flavors. I also ordered a coconut cream cupcake and it was incredibly fresh and delicious. The texture was soft and fluffy, and the coconut flavor was prominent but not overpowering. I can't give a firsthand review on the pupcake I bought, but my fur-nephew definitely approved. He's reporting me to PETA for only purchasing one.

Boston Cream Pie cupcake
Oscar E.

Cute is an understatement. This restaurant is adorable, and serves a really tasty variety of sweet and savory cake. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, and the decor was so in line with the spirit of the restaurant that the whole experience felt like I was eating in a theme park (and yet it was not overwhelming). Highly recommend you try the savory bundt cake. My salmon selection was really good, and my cousin ordered the same thing. I'll add that parking is slightly tight around the area, though I didn't have any trouble getting in or out. Bought a couple cupcakes to go, as I think might be custom for this place, and really enjoyed those too. Thank y'all for a lovely time!

A friend and I stopped in today to have some sweet treats and wow we were both amazed with this place. Not only does it offer amazing and delicious baked goods, but it also has hot food, alcoholic beverages, along with a lot of cute items for sale. It was painful to stand in line to place my order because once I thought I had figured out what I wanted, I saw something else that looked equally delicious. I ended up with a slice of salted chocolate caramel cake, which came with extra salted caramel, and it was delicious! I couldn't eat it all so it was nice to have the rest of the piece later at home. My friend got one of the Shindigz cookies and raved about it. She said it was one of the best cookies she's ever had.

Service is always warm and friendly, and there are lots of tables to sit inside or outside in their garden area! A Richmond staple and for good reason!

I ultimately had to ask another customer who was standing in line if they knew where to pick up a DoorDash order. The entire experience was incredibly dismissive and unprofessional.

I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,
