While it was a cold and windy Saturday in February, it was warm and welcoming inside. I walked around, taking in all the wonderful chocolate confections, and considered what a wonderful valentine I could put together. I was in no hurry, and with the help of Emani, my server, I was able to create a custom box of wonderful chocolate Valentine treats for my lovely wife. So happy shopping here!! Highly recommend. Not so happy: "Virginia Beach Curb Parking Enforcement" dampened my happy satisfaction with a parking ticket. Be aware that in Town Center, curb parking is STRICTLY enforced using a roving car with roof mounted cameras computerized to photograph your car and issue parking tickets. Those tickets are $40 each. I highly recommend that Shop Owners on Central Park Ave, post a sign by the cash register, alerting shoppers to the risks of curb street parking as a courtesy to their customers. What store owner wants a customer to return to their car to find a parking ticket after a wonderful purchase experience ???

When I got in there they had everything chocolatey you can imagine and the lady back there was hand making these sweets. But what left me speechless was their ice cream. It was thirst-quenching, if I was a guy who was running in the Sahara Desert and this ice cream dropped from the sky, I would be jumping for JOY! I don't know if the establishment is local to Virginia Beach, but it's definitely a place I recommend and a place I'm going to come back to in the future. Thank you Kilwins, and God bless!

Then someone stuck their head out from the back and said may I help you? I told them that we had ordered a few minutes ago. He then went and pulled our stickers and we got our delicious ice cream. The white chocolate raspberry was absolutely amazing. It had little chocolate cups filled with raspberry in it. The ice cream is very creamy. I got a kiddie cup, and that was more than enough. My friend got the banana split and said it was OK, but she wishes she had tasted it first. I will definitely go back!

I doubt I will be returning again in the future given how many other ice cream parlors are in the area that uses much better quality ingredients.

She told us of Prosperity Kitchen and Pantry. Upon entering I was instantly taken with the decor of live tropical plants, the abundance of comfortable seating areas and the array of sweet treats behind the counters.

If one is in search of a unique little pastry shop for breakfast or for an anytime treat, we highly recommend Prosperity Kitchen and Pantry!

A bit of chaos. Our first time there. Didn't know if you seat yourself. Didn't know how to order…read more Didn't know what drinks were available. Snd at the end we were not sure if we were clearing our table or not. So it took us a few minutes walking around and trying to watch people. I'm still not sure if there were other things we could have ordered or if it is what you see if what they have for that day. We stood in line and that went very fast. Ordered the veggie slice and the marinara slice. When we got up to the register to pay she rang it up and said do you want anything else. Well I said do you have drinks available? You get to choose your tea. I absolutely love that. I got chamomile tea. But she should have asked if we would like something to drink or have a drink menu or something. There was just a disconnect with how this place works. And if it is your first time I'm clueless. The food was wonderful and they had plenty of ice water that you serve yourself. We were riding our bikes at the oceanfront so the nice cold water was great Pros and cons -Friendly staff, but not super informative -the food was wonderful, but not sure if that was the whole menu. -tea selection was good and my chamomile tea was wonderful, but I would have liked to have read a menu of what drinks were available. You known to make it easier for the person ordering. Inside and outside seating. And it was nice inside. Some of the seating outside had nice umbrellas. It does tend to get hot down at the oceanfront so I'm so thankful for all the different options. I want to go again but I want to go with a friend who will know how everything works

So once we checked out of our hotel on Saturday, July 6th we were at the front doors when they opened. Once we were in the store the two sales associates greeted us and answered all the questions that we had. I went a little crazy and spent over $100 but it was well work it. Majority of the cost came from the cup and shot classes I got but the mixed box of truffles, salt water taffy, and fudge. Due to my size of purchase I was given a free bag as well as a bag of free mixed candy (about 1/4 lb) Overall, the experience is fun and they have some interesting items but would only be a trip I would do once a year or something for vacation.

My friend will always bring me a box (or two!) when she comes to visit because scones remind me of my hometown (in U.K.). I hate living so far away because I really need to get my hands on some of their cake. They all look incredible! Service is always great; the folks who work here are kind and helpful, but above all, my favorite thing about Sugar Plum Bakery is their dedication to serve the needs of individuals with disabilities. They have a mission to train, educate, and provide opportunities for them. As an educator, I'm all for backing local businesses that give back to their community. Can't wait to come back and try some new baked goods. Highly recommend!

This dessert cafe has an amazing selection of handmade cakes that are baked fresh in their kitchen daily. I tried a slice of the Nutella cake, Reese's cake, and Oreo cake, and each one was perfectly spongy, moist, and not overly sweet. My favorite was the Nutella cake. The other flavors were just okay. The service was also excellent; everyone was friendly and welcoming. I couldn't decide which cake I wanted and they encouraged me to get all three lol. Besides the cakes, they have a nice variety of treats like macarons, bubble teas, frozen shakes, and Blue Bell ice cream, so there's something for everyone. If you love dessert, definitely check this place out!
