I'm stunned by the lack of reviews for this gem of a bakery. Nestled into the craziness of Carytown, this bakery offers a sophisticated dose of sweetness. "Babka is my love language," I mean, yes, same. And in addition to full loaves of babka, guess what else they have? Babka muffins (chocolate). They're on par with DC's Call Your Mother deli's babka muffins. So good! I also ordered the chocolate chip scones, which come in a two pack. They were delightful also. I also heard great things about the lemon pastry and the vanilla scone. Just look at the pictures I posted. Do you know how hard it was to limit myself to two items? Somehow I managed to turn and walk away from the Oreo cookies and black and white cookies. But, moderation. I will obviously be back and I recommend you all follow suit too.

I love bakeries and I have a big sweet tooth so when we walking around carytown and saw Claudia's Bakery we HAD to go in. When you walk in there is an open area with a few tables and chairs and a stairway up to the Bakery cases. I didnt see a ramp or other way up if you could not navigate the stairs. Everything looked delicious! The person at the counter was friendly and answered all our questions. We were there pretty late in the day so the cases were not full. We settled on 2 cookies to go..... the million dollar cookie which was a chocolaty cross between a cookie and brownie. And a oreo chocolate chunk cookie. Both were tasty but the oreo one was on the money DELICIOUS!!!! We will be back to try the babka next! +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

Such a cute bake shop and cafe! I got a brown sugar latte and it was delicious. The barista helped me brainstorm how to make it less sweet (we landed on 1 pump instead of 3). I also got two small pastries (I forget the name) but they were also delicious. I wanted to try so many more items including the chocolate chip cookie, cheesecake brownie, and more. This is a super cute bakery with lots to offer, I'll definitely be back!

Gluten free vegan 6" cake for $95. ‍
Varvara L.

it was the first time i ordered from this bakery. And the last for sure. I emailed Claudia asking if they can make a GF vegan and soy-free cake. It was for my daughter's birthday and there were a few people with allergy restrictions. the bakers were very responsive and kindly explained what brands are they using for substitutions. I was charged a nonrefundable amount of 95$ before taxes for the smallest 6" (!!) cake, triple the price that I would pay elsewhere. Oh well , I thought, that's my daughters birthday, why not splurge. It was chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and covered with candy canes. it is very expensive compared to other places I ordered from, but I wanted to try a different place and bakers seemed nice. When I picked it up it looked super cute, exactly like in the picture that I provided reference. I asked if I should serve it right out of the fridge, and I was told it's better to take it out couple hours before serving. The cake was out of refrigerator for only one hour, at the end of the birthday party we open the box, and it was completely melted! I was shocked because it never happened with any cakes that I ordered at other places before, nor with the cakes that I baked. My 13 years old baked a GF vegan cake just recently, using a recipe from the box of carob and it was great. I emailed the bakery with my concern and attached a picture. For $95 it is a vary very bad experience. I got zero response. No apologies, no offers of full or partial refund d, no offer of a discount in the future ... nothing! Definitely not recommend this place.

I swear the entire time I was here (~2 hours) the line was extending to the door. It was crazy. After trying my coffee I understood why they're so busy all day. It is my new favorite coffee in Richmond by a long shot. Unfortunately I ended up spilling my coffee on my laptop and am scarred for life and will probably never be back to this location. Obviously this was my fault but still traumatic. Overall, try this place out! It will not disappoint! My absolute favorite coffee in Richmond!

I was a bit disappointed that they only offer whole or oat milk, as I was used to having more milk options (like low fat or nonfat). I can't drink whole milk and I'm not a big fan of oat milk. The barista recommended that I try the oat milk and said if I didn't like the drink, they would make me something else. I asked for light oak milk and hoped for the best. My latte was served in layers, so I got a big blast of oat milk in my first sip, but after I mixed my latte, it tasted so much better. The coconut flavor really came through and offset the oat milk flavor. I was really happy with my drink and with the super helpful barista. I'll for sure be coming back!

Was planning on ordering coffee for my family, but before doing so I walked in with my baby to use…read morethe restroom and change her. Unfortunately, there wasn't even a changing table available. Instead, I was stopped and loudly reprimanded by a large, intimidating male employee in front of a line full of customers because I had apparently "used the wrong door" and "skipped the line." When I explained that I needed to use the restroom before ordering, I was told I should have used the other entrance -- despite the fact that the door I was directed toward had a clearly posted sign saying "Please Use Other Door." The entire interaction was humiliating and completely unnecessary. No customer, especially a mother carrying a baby, should be publicly shamed over something so minor and confusing. To make matters worse, the bathroom itself was filthy. Even if I had attempted to change my daughter on the floor due to the lack of a changing station, it would have felt unsanitary and unsafe. Businesses love to say they support women and families, but too often mothers are treated like an inconvenience the moment they actually need basic accommodation and decency.

I love the decor, and the seating area feels appropriate for the space. It still has that community, shared vibe that I remember. The baristas are so nice and answered my questions without hesitation, even with a line. We tried the turmeric ginger latte, both caffeinated and decaf, and wow, really good. As always, their pastries are amazing. I also really appreciated that they asked if the almond horn was for a gluten allergy so they could change their gloves. It's the little things!

My parents and I stumbled upon this bakery while exploring Richmond this morning, and I was…read moreimmediately impressed by the diversity of options they have. One of the things I instantly noticed on the menu was their vegan breakfast sandwich with a homemade bean-based sausage patty. I got myself an egg and cheese sandwich on a buttermilk biscuit (delicious, by the way) with pepper jack cheese, veggies (tomato, lettuce, and avocado), and for a dollar extra, one of their vegan breakfast sausage patties. I was immediately impressed by how flavorful the patty was- you get a crispness upon the first bite and then the creaminess of the beans afterwards. It was absolutely incredible in a way I can't even describe. I also got the Thai iced coffee, which tasted as sweet as a typical Thai iced tea, yet in coffee form. I may only be spending a few days in Richmond, but I'm absolutely coming back next time I'm here to try more things. DIVINE! The woman behind the counter was super sweet too. If you're in Richmond, run here!
