I happened to be in Downtown Norfolk last week and had tried to go to The Bakehouse Chelsea but they were not open at the time, so I realized that May's Parlor was now in Norfolk and decided to head there. This location is so cute, though I was not able to enjoy it at this time as I had to get back to work. I got a Blueberry Brioche danish and Baklava Cruffin. I would have bought all the pastries if I could, they all looked so good. The Blueberry Brioche danish is my favorite. So soft and all the blueberry on it was sweet and delish as always. The Baklava cruffin intrigued me so I had to get this. It had Honeycomb candy on top and was filled with a Pistachio flavored cream. This was really good as I love pistachio and that cream was everything. I'm not sure if it reminded me of Baklava but I am not complaining as it was unique and flavorful. Next time I'm down that way, I will definitely have to stop by and try something else.
Another sweet trip to May's in Norfolk. Great variety of sweets and savories with friendly, patient counter service. Settled on a cruffin and cinnamon cc bun. Both out of this world tasty. Sat outside and enjoyed the Friday morning with my daughter. Life is good at May's.
So excited to have May's in Norfolk now! We popped in for breakfast on a Thursday morning. Our table got a couple of different sandwiches (including the BEC which happens to be one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches of all time!), a cinnamon bun, a chocolate almond Croissant, and a couple of Cranberry Limeades. Everything was delicious! The cinnamon buns are a little flakey and Croissant like on the outside but with a soft doughy center like a traditional cinnamon roll. Their menu is slightly more limited on lunch selections as they don't have a full kitchen, but the breakfast offerings are all available, from quiche to sandwiches to pastries and coffee. This location also seems to have a bit more outdoor seating, which will be great when the weather warms back up.
Finally got to try it. Everything we ordered was delicious! We love chocolate so we fell in love with their strawberry dipped chocolate pie & almond chocolate croissant! The real chocolate's richness was truly addicting. I always get disappointed when chocolate tastes light and sugary. So these were nothing like that. We also got their soft, dense, but not too salty spinach and artichoke quiche. Very filling and satisfying! Also got the corned beef danish. We were skeptical at first because it looked a bit dried up but it tasted delicious & quite moist. The only one that I personally was not a fan of was the Irish cream cruffin but hubby liked it. He also loved their lavender mocha drink. Service was friendly and the music was not too loud. It was also pretty clean and comfy. Great place overall! We went there for lunch!
Stopped in for a quick breakfast before work. Loved the quiche and the scone. Service was quick and they warmed both up for me. Love the quiet street and outdoor seating too.
I've been to the May's Parlor at the oceanfront but this morning was my first time checking out the Norfolk location. I was pleasantly surprised to find parking close by. The building was also easy to spot from the street. There is a pastry case FULL of goodness when you walk in the door. They take pastry orders there and drink orders a little further down at the register. I chose a twice-baked almond croissant, pain au chocolat, and blueberry brioche danish. I also ordered a drip coffee with cream and sugar. The pastries tasted as good as they looked. Both croissants were flaky and you could see the lovely lamination in the crust. The almond filling tasted a bit different than I expected but still good. I warmed up the pain au chocolat in my microwave for about 15 seconds and the chocolate got warm and melty and perfect. My husband enjoyed the danish! I'm taking off one star because the coffee was just not very yummy. It's hard to find a coffee place with great pastries but this one has the opposite problem. It was hot but had a slightly stale taste. Looking forward to trying more delicious pastries in the future!
Finally! Waited for a friend to try this newest location of May's in Norfolk. Huge longtime fan of May's and happy to see such success and expansion into this cute part of Norfolk for Racheal. Plenty of available parking as it shares a lot with Mermaid Winery and several other commercial stores. So I love the location because you can come for a weekend or week day and park, shop, eat, walk around and enjoy this part of Norfolk. I recognized some familiar faces inside from the beachfront and saw nearly all of the same menu and great items. Some of the specials and other items are only going to be available at the beachfront. So if you are a long-time person used to going there, some things are a bit different but the basics and major stuff you'll still be able to get here. Same great taste. It's larger inside with a tiny bit more seating and tables the cute lemon decor is the same and the color scheme remains on theme. My friend and I chose a few baked goodies, of course, some cookies to go for my husband, and the quiche and veggie breakfast sandwich served on that amazing everything brioche bun. Flavor was wonderful as usual - staff were very kind. Lots of cute May's themed things for sale inside like cups and t-shirts if you want to take a piece of the Parlor home! Congrats!
This is the cutest quaint bakery. I always wanted to check their Va Beach location out but never made it so I am stoked they have a new location in the Ghent area of Norfolk! There's so many types of baked goods that it's hard to choose what to get without wanting to get one of each!! I settled for the Quiche which is creamy and cheesy yummy! The croissant was flakey and would have made for a good sandwich too! But you can find pastries from cookies, cheesecake, Macarons and etc I saw they had coffee drinks with flavored syrups but since I already picked up and iced coffee already, I will have to try that out soon. This place makes for a cute dessert date so I'm dragging my hubby the next time LOL!
Always a treat to drop by May's Parlor. They have a lot of creative and delicious baked treats from macarons to cruffins to cookies, cakes, quiches, etc etc. They also have artisan sandwiches and serve up coffee beverages. Since it's Fall season, I wanted to take home a slice of their pumpkin cheesecake! Love it! Must come by to patronize this cute and sweet establishment!
Cool lil bakery tucked in the corner of parking lot and driveway in historic Ghent area. Free smells! Lol As you can see from the fotos, their pastries look delicious. The B. E. C. is so delicious! I want another one...I'll return. Service was fine.
Kayoot. Nuff said. May's parlor in Norfolk is such a cute spot! I enjoyed their foods and the ambiance there. I had pies there for Pi day and man they do not disappoint. Today I had the raspberry bar and a quiche they got the spinach artichoke quiche, which was gooey and cheesy. I also had a rise cake, which is kind of like a pineapple cake- delicious! Awesome hole in a wall!
Adorable! I had no clue that a May's Parlor was in Ghent until I saw it pop up on my instagram feed. I immediately went the next day. No wonder I didn't know it was here, it's definitely tucked back in a shopping center between W 22nd and 23rd St. There was plenty of parking, but we had walked the dog so no need. Food- 5/5 hands down. We order the Quiche of the day, pain au chocolate, BEC, and two drinks (iced coffee and hot chai). Two major stars were the BEC and pain au chocolate. BEC had bacon, egg frittata, and a white cheddar with a garlic aioli on the best brioche I've had in a long time. They were very busy at 10:30am when we arrived, so the staff seemed slightly overwhelmed but handled it fairly well. The inside was adorable, only about 5 tables indoors and another 6 outside. But it was well decorated, and smelled SO GOOD. Happy Norfolk finally has an amazing pastry shop that isn't a pain to park/ walk to! Thank you!
Everhthing is soo good! I love the chocolate croissants. They have soo many selections. Must try!
I came here early on a Friday morning to grab some pastries that I've heard so much about! The girl behind the counter was incredibly friendly and I told her it was my first time in so she gave me the run down of how everything worked in terms of special items, etc. I landed on 2 chocolate croissants, 1 blueberry brioche danish, 1 butter croissant, a banana puff pastry (weekly special), and an orange and cranberry scone. I will say I came in specifically for the chocolate croissant. While it was very good, it was still slightly dry. The scone, butter croissant and the bananas foster puff pastry were phenomenal. The blueberry brioche danish missed the mark. It was far too dense. I walked away with a London fog as well which was delicious! Will return for sure, but it's a bit out of the way, so I hope they put a location in Chesapeake! read more
Wednesday 8/14/2024 I first visited this spot last year in July to get the cinnamon rolls but by the time I arrrived they were all sold out. This time I made sure to get up early so I could finally try it. The service was kind and helpful. I got the cinnamon bun $5 and the choclate crinkle $2.95. - The cinnamon bun was pretty good: it was soft and the ingredients were balanced well. I did expect it to be a bit bigger based on price tag and previous yelp photos I had seen but I'd say it's still worth it. - The chocolate crinkle was recommended by the worker so I got it and it ended up being alright but I've had many better. All in all, my experience at mays parlor was solid and I would definitely recommend that cinnamon bun if you are ever in the mood for one. read more

I rarely find myself in Norfolk, but as luck would have it, I had to run an errand in the area last week. It'd been a while since my last visit to the Oceanfront location and I'd never been to this one, so it was a prime opportunity to indulge in May's delights. I'd not had my caffeine fix for the day, so we started with a couple of lattes, perfect for the chilly weather day. The hubs and I had a couple of sandwiches for lunch - he the Ham & Brie and I the Turkey Bacon Pesto. He enjoyed his sandwich. As for me? I wanted to have 10 of mine; it was so damn good. It had the perfect balance of all the ingredients. I swear I could eat that sandwich every day and never get sick of it. Of course, we couldn't leave without a box of goodies that included a cruffin (I HAD to have) and a few other sweets from the cases. It wasn't an obscene amount, but it took a few days to eat it all, nonetheless. The standout for me was the s'mores cheesecake. It was light yet rich in flavor, which is a bonus for me since I'm not a fan of super heavy desserts these days. The service was super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be looking for another excuse to go to Norfolk again soon! read more

May's Parlor is now in Norfolk! I am so thankful for this because it shaves off a good 10-15 minutes from my drive! I have been to their location by the ocean front only once and it's a bit of a drive for me. The drive is definitely worth it, but this makes it that much easier to make a trip to pick up some of their delicious treats! I've been meaning to check out this new location but time has gotten away from me (how is it almost Thanksgiving?!). Yesterday, I saw a pic of their chocolate ganache cruffin flash before my eyes on my phone screen and you best believe I ran there today. That is just the push I needed to make the trip and check out the new location! I LOVE croissants and I LOVE chocolate ganache so you don't need to tell me twice! - Parking - It's located in a center of shops, so there is parking, but limited (and tight!) - Vibe - The interior is similar to its sister location with bright pastel colors and the lemon wallpaper. - Noms - My haul included: + chocolate ganache cruffins: ugh, HEAVEN! The middle is filled with custard and the cruffin is shaped like a muffin with the top dipped in chocolate ganache. So good! The cruffin part was airy, lots of layers and the custard was so good and the layer of chocolate ganache just added that extra decadence. +cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting - this is hearty and a generous size + blueberry scone - this one is a bit harder than I'm used to, but delicious nonetheless. I LOVE scone too! +blueberry danish - also delicious with blueberry middle, crumb topping and dusted with icing sugar - peanut butter mousse bar - I'm saving this one for later and haven't had a bite yet, but if the other items are any indication, it will be good! I hope my husband doesn't get to it first.... Just a note: - Cruffin flavors, in this case, chocolate ganache, is only available this week. Hence, my hauling butt there today so I could snag some! I think they do this with most cruffin flavors. They change up the flavors to keep you guessing! - I've had their pie packs at the VB location and inquired about it today, but the staff informed me that that is a special thing for PI day and only available for pre-order. If I remember correctly, last time, at the VB location, I just bought a pie with one slice of each, but paid regular price for each slice, no discount was offered since it wasn't pre-ordered. Getting a pie with different flavors is the way to go and the pie slices are not small, so look out for their pie pre-order opportunities. - They also have outdoor seating - they have 3 locations: 1 by ocean front in VB, a commercial kitchen in VB that I believe serves as their main working space and sometimes can be the pick up location for pre-orders and now the one in Norfolk! Love seeing businesses expand! Overall, they offer damn good homemade goods with touch of sophistication. Their treats are quite generous in size and the quality and the details of their craft is top notch! Definitely one of my top fave bakeries in the area! I've never not liked anything there. I'm going for their macarons next! Stay safe, Friends! #ThankYouThursday 2022 read more
I had to write a review for the Norfolk location finally! I usually go to the OG location, but I actually love this newer one as it's by my house and has about the same items/it not exactly the same hahah. I love love LOVE this place. It's always so clean, neat, and very friendly! They have an amazing assortment of pastries and lunch items! Today I got the Christmas weekly item which is Grinch croissants that are "ROAST BEAST", which are roast beef filled croissant Christmas trees lathered in garlic butter. I am so obsessed and wish I would have gotten more. This place is very easy to go in and get a quick bite. They have a few sit down tables where you can enjoy right there as well. It fits a decent amount of people going in for a quick bite! I can't say how much I love Mays Parlor and enjoy how well they pay attention to detail with their food. It's like stepping into a New York bakery, and being back home. Such a lovely little shop. I am your fan forever, Mays Parlor! You don't disappoint! read more

My friends and I met up to crochet and it smelled delicious the entire time we were in there. The food not only smells good, it is. Great bakery options, gluten free options as well. They have a cute outside seating area. read more
The new Norfolk location of May's Parlor, an artisan bakery cafe that originated in Virginia Beach, became open for business three weeks ago on the date of July 2nd. It is tucked away in the back of the Palace Shops and Station on 22nd Street and is next door to 350 Grace, a highly rated southern restaurant. It took over the former site of Just Cupcakes, which closed earlier this year. The original Virginia Beach location opened on Pacific Avenue at the Oceanfront in July of 2017. It is owned by Racheal Browning, a Chesapeake native who became trained as a French pastry chef in New York City. Her journey led her back to the area to open May's Parlor. The interior is brimming with natural light and soft pastel color schemes that are easy on the eyes. There are four indoor tables with seating enough for 12 customers. Additional seating is available from outdoor patio areas in the front and by the side of the building. The Norfolk location does not have an actual kitchen at this time. Lunch items are only available from a grab and go refrigerator. Their baked goods are prepared at their wholesale production facility on Holland Road in Virginia Beach. Two overhead menus are erected high above and behind their counter. One is for their Breakfast Bites, and the other is for their Drinks, which includes their Coffees and Teas. I have enjoyed the following from their overhead menus to date: QUICHE DU JOUR: I was given two choices and went with their Spinach and Artichoke Quiche. It delivered an elegantly light and fluffy texture. The flavors of the spinach and artichoke were truly sublime. I've never enjoyed a better quiche. My Rating: 5 Stars. SMOKED SALMON SANDWICH: Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese, Capers, and Red Onion on an Everything Croissant. The combination of flavors and textures provided a pleasant and filling breakfast bite. The smokiness of the salmon came through nicely. The croissant was crunchy and tasty. A few more capers and red onions would have been desired. My Rating: 4 Stars. CHIA PARFAIT: This is a creative combination of house made granola, berry compote, blueberries, strawberries, and chia seeds immersed in plain Greek yogurt. All the flavors came through nicely. If I could tweak the recipe a bit, it would be to toast the granola just a little less. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. FRESH MINT LEMONADE: This has been my beverage of choice so far. Light and refreshing, it has hit the spot nicely during these hot summer days. A stronger taste of mint would be desired, perhaps with the addition of a fresh mint leaf. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. I have enjoyed the following from their display case: BLUEBERRY BRIOCHE DANISH: This was an awesome and filling pastry with a texture that melted in my mouth while oozing with flavor. The blueberry filling was truly orgasmic. My Rating: 5 Stars. S'MORES BAR: This was an eye popping treat that was topped with an amazing marshmallow goodness, beautifully swirled and layered over a light, elegant, and decadently delicious chocolate mousse filling. My Rating 5 Stars. CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY MOUSSE TARTLET: This one is my favorite to date. Its construction was an artistic masterpiece and a thing of beauty. The strawberries played well with the chocolate mousse, which again was decadently delicious. My Rating: 5-Plus Stars. The new Norfolk location is still a work in progress and fine tuning its operation. New items and special additions can be expected in the near future. A friend of mine who is a culinary arts instructor highly recommends their Chicken Pot Pie, which I will be sure to try during a future visit. Their Apple Pie also comes highly recommended, which is a seasonal item that becomes available in the fall. The new Norfolk location has scored well enough with my palate so far to earn an enthusiastic 5-star rating. It should only get even better from here, and I look forward to my future visits. read more
May's Parlor has brought their bright and cheery bakeshop to the back of the Palace shops in Norfolk. After months of salivating over Instagram photos of their indulgent cruffins and delicate macaroons, I had to satisfy my sweet tooth. To celebrate the 12 days of Christmas, May's was offering 50% off everything in their pastry case during select hours (12-2) the day I went. My lucky day! The case was lined with beautifully crafted pastries, breads, muffins, and quiches, as well as full-sized cakes and other goodies available for take-home (perfect for entertaining!). If you're in the mood for something savory, the menu boasts a handful of heart breakfast sandwiches and a plethora of coffee, tea, and other refreshments. My husband and I opted for a plain croissant, everything croissant, and apple crumble scone. If it wasn't so chilly outside, we would have opted to enjoy our pastries at one of their patio tables. Instead, we dug in immediately in the car - everything was rich, buttery, and delicious. Needless to say - I look forward to trying more of May's!! read more

May's was a cozy spot for getting a mid morning snack. The staff was friendly and helpful in making recommendations. In restaurant, my friend and I had a breakfast sandwich and a quiche. Both of which were delicious and unlike something you'd find elsewhere. We took home our pastries and the almond croissant was delicious and had a filling. I would say I was largely disappointed by the blueberry scone as it was, although dark in color, baked to perfection but then coated with a very sugary glaze, and not accompanied by any traditional accoutrements such as jam and clotted cream. I'm looking forward to trying the Virginia Beach location. read more

May's never disappoints. The B.E.C (Bacon, Egg and Cheese) on a brioche is phenomenal. A bonus is there chai latte compliments it so well, wether I'm getting it for breakfast or for lunch. As a treat for myself, I also ordered a cinnamon roll that I thought would be too much considering the size. However , I was wrong. The pastry hit all the right spots and had me considering ordering multiple for my next visit haha. The staff is always great, they make suggestions, and are able to make modifications for your order, with no issues. read more

So happy for the delicious Oceanfront's May's Parlor to come to Norfolk! The parlor is very cutely decorated and has a sunny ambience. The pastries and assorted offerings of the day are attractively laid out for you to feast your eyes on as you walk in. They have many options from treats to light lunches and brunch fare. I had a drip coffee when I went and it was great! I will try fancier coffee next visit. We had the quiche of the day (bacon, cheddar and chive) which was SO FLUFFY. I am not sure how they get quiche that fluffy and light. The flavors were just right and the flavors worked well together. My pastry was the twice baked chocolate and almond croissant. The twice baked makes it just a little crunchy to contrast with the soft almond filling. It was perfect, not too sweet but just sweet enough. The almond croissant my partner got was equally delicious. Attentive staff were going around to check tables and clear dishes as needed when no one was in line, keeping the parlor tidy. The only thing I could comment on was the table was a bit shaky and it caused us to spill our coffee a few times. Other than that, I cannot wait to come back again! So glad they decided to open a location in Ghent. Who doesn't like going out for a pastry and coffee? read more

Love this cute new cafe! Decorated so nicely, has a few tables inside and outside. Lots of pastry options as well as quiche, salads, and sandwiches! Also has a take home fridge for bigger cakes, quiches and loaves of breads! The banana bread was divine! Also have tried the chicken salad which comes with focaccia bread on the side. Will definitely be back to try more! read more
