Definitely something to share, as it could send you in a diabetic shock... haha. The cost was around $20. Cute patio area to enjoy the sugary goods. Pricey for sure but definitely comparable to other places that serve similar items. Service is good. A little tricky, but we navigated it and it was easy. We did have to wait a little for our snacks. But other than that it was good. The parking is a lot with other businesses, and can become tight and busy. But, it was easy to navigate.

We also had babas croissant and absolutely love it! Highly recommend for a nice breakfast.

I recently tried one of their sandwiches for the first time - The Shirley, which was pleasant - flavorful, light, and summer friendly only to learn that Shirley got the boot with the creation of their new menu! Parking can be challenging during peak hours but it's worth the wait. #bringbackshirley

In my estimation, there is no better bakery in RVA right now. I'll only write of what I've tried…read more From the perfect baguettes who's peaks are worthy of ride-back-home consumption, to their beautiful hand pies with perfect filling, to their buttery and flaky chocolate croissants, this place is worth the long lines one typically encounters. They make a beautiful sourdough country loaf that is fantastic to bring home, slice in 1/2" slices with a sharp bread knife, put in a gallon freezer bag, and freeze for amazing sandwiches and treats during the week. Try a Spanish pan con tomate with one of these slices slightly toasted, with a rub of garlic, salt, and good e.v. olive oil, and you'll be happy as a clam. (What does that even mean?) Or use said previously frozen slices as a dessert treat with your sleepy time tea, toasted with butter and good local raw honey drizzled on it. Bathrooms are very clean. Next up, I will go early to sit down and eat there, trying one of the incredible looking breakfast sandwiches and/or salads that folks seem elated to be eating.

It was delicious and moist, and it had a lemon glaze on it. It was so hard to decide what to pick! Everything looked very good! I'd like to come back and try more options. Service was easy at the counter, and I took the muffin to go. There are some tables and chairs inside the bakery if you prefer to eat there. A note on accessibility: there is a ~5in step to get into the bakery, so I had to lift the front of the stroller. And the door to get in is a narrow double door. Someone on the inside had to unlatch the second door so that our stroller could fit. I think it would be difficult for someone who uses a wheelchair to access the bakery.

The staff is rude and it's a different issue every time. I've been charged $13 for a ham and cheese croissant because they didn't "have a button to ring it in properly." I've been given roast beef and told it was ham by another staff member saying "ham turns brown when you heat it up." I've witnessed gossip about customers at the register, arguments between staff while I'm waiting for my food and being told they don't have an item I'm looking directly at. Maybe it's the age of the staff members or the lack of overall experience, knowledge, consideration...pick one, but the service alone keeps me from coming back to this quaint, local bakery.

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 came here with a friend on a hot afternoon looking for a cool drink. I spotted a latte special…read morewith Ube and coconut and wanted to try it. 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!

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,

I'm a bit of a coffee snob and didn't expect much, but both drinks were perfect classic flavor profiles - YUM. They also had a few vegan options, though the baked goods didn't look as good as the non-vegan options, so we didn't try any. The services was very friendly and the vibe was super cute too - they have an outdoor patio with a pick-up window and a little punch card too. We loved this little spot and will definitely be back :)

The space is incredibly comfortable: leather sofas, a relaxed lounge area, and nice seasonal decor. The Jack‑O‑Latte is pumpkin spice vanilla done right: not syrupy, not overly sweet, just balanced enough that you can still taste the beans, and you want to. The repurposed boxcars give the place character, and the parking lot tells the rest of the story...people genuinely like it here. My breakfast burrito tasted surprisingly gourmet, down to the pickled red onions. Coffee is roasted locally and you can tell. It's across from the Catholic church I accidentally pulled into first. Everyone should try it. They get the fundamentals right: if I order a flavor, I don't want a liquid pastry. I want good coffee that can stand on its own. Brick Road Coffee nails it. Nice job.
