Savories
Michael S.

From Glen Allen to Midlothian is a fair hike, 20 miles each way. This little bakery was a great find, on my daughter's recommendation. At first glance arriving at noon, we saw the display case and felt disappointed at what few items were left. But it was more than great for us, as it turned out. The sweets -- a dulce de leche, a Nutella, and vigilantes, and alfajores -- were all delish, with the alfajores winning first honors. Good croissant flaky pastry well laminated. Each with great fillings / toppings. The savories -- a fried steak, a ham and cheese, a Hawaiian (ham cheese and pineapple) empanadas-- were all well filled with great ingredients. The steak was superb. We also got a cheese bread, well flavored and well baked. Coffee was fresh pressed and strong, very welcome. Caramel latte was also good. Total bill including tip about $40.

Ham, cheese, pineapple. Yummy cheese too

Di Gennaro Bakery is an absolute gem tucked away on Midlothian Turnpike! My wife and I stopped in for a casual coffee break, and it turned out to be so much more than that. The atmosphere is warm and inviting--Betty and son Nicolas, with the friendliest staff who make you feel right at home. We each had a cup of rich and perfectly brewed coffee, but the real standout was the Venezuelan ham, cheese, and pineapple creation I had. It was encased in a soft bread-like pastry that balanced sweetness and savory flavors most delightfully. Every bite was yummy and a testament to the care and skill behind their baking (Mr Di Gennaro). This family-owned Argentinian bakery offers an incredible array of fresh, authentic pastries and baked goods. From empanadas to specialty items like alfajores, it's clear they've perfected their recipes. While we didn't sample everything on this visit, the wide variety on display was tempting. The prices are great!...especially considering the quality, and there's ample seating to enjoy your treats in comfort. Whether you're looking for a quick snack, breakfast, or something to take home, Di Gennaro Bakery is the place to go. We'll definitely be back soon, and I plan to explore their empanada selection! If you're in the Richmond area and haven't visited yet, you're missing out on something truly special. 9550 Midlothian Turnpike, Suite 117, Richmond, VA.

Such delicious and gorgeous pastries! Delicious coffee drinks and the best service. And best of all, they are a 7 minute drive. So excited to stumble on this phenomenal Argentinian bakery.

This is truly a hidden gem! Nestled in the back of the Pepe's shopping center lies Di Gennaro Bakery. They offer pastries, empanadas, sandwiches, coffee drinks, and so much more! The person who served me who I believe is the owner was super helpful and offered recommendations. I got a Hawaiian croissant, baked chicken empanada, and a fried chicken empanada. They were all delicious! The filling was moist and the crusts were flakey and baked perfectly. The prices were very affordable too. I'll definitely be back to try more items. There are some tables inside in case you'd like to dine in and there's plenty of parking.

I really like this bakery. I just happen to stumble upon it on DoorDash and I was pleased. I ordered two days in a row. The cherry cheese danish is so good. I also like the empanadas. I can imagine their menu is more than the offerings on DoorDash but I haven't been there in person. I'll have to go there one day.

This is a hidden gem--and there's no reason it should be hidden! Went with no preconceived notions and walked out with a sugar high and new favorite local bakery! My family and I tried a variety of goodies, but for me, the knockout for savory was the ham and cheese with pineapple roll with a sweet glaze, with the fried steak empanada with an incredible churri sauce a close second. For sweet, I couldn't get enough of the alfajores!! The dulce de leche was just........ wow. And the coffee was decent too--it wasn't an afterthought, which they could totally get away with if they wanted to, with pastries as good as they are. But the coffee was GOOD! The bakery is accessible in all spaces, including the bathroom, which is very clean. I strongly recommend you check this place out!

This is an awesome little find on Midlothian Turnpike. All of the pastries were outstanding, and the coffee was amazing. To make the experience even better, the staff are very warm and welcoming. Most definitely will back again.

Vigilante, Alfajor

At the recommendation from an RVA foodies FB group, I visited this family run small business and was happy to purchase some tasty goodies, as well as a mango and strawberry smoothie, because why not! All were delicious and I hope to see more patronage for this lovely establishment. Pictured are the Vigilante pastry (custard and guava, bottom left), a sweet potato jelly pastry (top right), and an Alfajor. Yummy!!

I walked…read moredirectly up to the cashier, who looked right past me without saying a word and then walked away toward the pickup area, where another employee was standing. That employee also completely ignored me, despite the fact that I was clearly standing there waiting to be helped. I was there to pick up a DoorDash order for someone else, but based on the way I was treated, I can guarantee you I will not be choosing to spend my own money at this establishment. 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. A simple acknowledgment or, at the very least, "We'll be with you in a moment" would have made a huge difference.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. 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,

The service was very friendly throughout my visit and really appreciated the attentiveness from the sever. I ended up getting a hot Charcoal Mocha because it seemed like something you can't get anywhere else, it has activated charcoal, espresso, cocoa powder & a touch of coconut oil. I love that they serve their drinks out of fun mugs, it feels homey. To eat, I got the Charter Colony sandwich once I noticed they offered gluten free bread. They have a great game selection and play area for kids and I think this would be a great place to catch up with a friend. Will be back!

The menu is well thought out, I've been here for breakfast several times and the food is prepared to order! They also carry Cupertino bagels for an authentic NY experience! The server was also the owner and he was pretty cool... chatting with us and giving us some history of the place. We enjoyed his dry sense of humor! We also enjoyed the baked goods!! The prices were on point and we left feeling like a regular. In the back, there's a small kid friendly area for your tots to amuse themselves. Smart thinkin' Lincoln! We enjoyed this spot immensely and I'll be heading back there today for lunch!! Well done!! Love this place!

They roast single origin coffees onsite and sell them in completely biodegradable pods, which only stay on their shelves for up to 30 days so the coffee always tastes super fresh. They are not like other biodegradable pods you may see for sale elsewhere, these actually ensure you get a fantastic cup of coffee each time. I started talking to the baristas, Lisa and Anastasia, and shared that I used to work for Starbucks and was amazed how the same coffee could taste completely different if it was prepared differently. Lisa promptly took out two bags of coffee and prepared a pour over of each. They were the same beans, but roasted at different temperatures. She gave tastes to me and another customer. It was amazing how different the coffees tasted, and they even had different colors. It was such a cool experience! I bought a box of Columbia medium roast pods, which I've been enjoying every day this week. They have several coffees available to try, along with pastries and made to order sandwiches. It's located in an industrial area, off the main road, but is well worth the trip if you're looking for some delicious coffee. It's become my go to coffee roaster in the Richmond area.
