I don't even like frosting and whatever they did with this buttercream has changed my life. I highly recommend the Lyle-O, hop tart (literally any flavor), that buttermilk biscuit, and a slice of cake! Only thing missing from the menu is a good Matcha. The service is usually pretty decent. And it's always cozy inside.

I'm blanking on the flavors now but definitely really cool. I wish they had been a bit stronger but over all can't complain. Additionally the cake was pretty narrow and tall so a bit hard to actually cut but was still a beautiful cake. The workers here were lovely and even the other customers were nice to talk to. I'm already excited for the next chance I'll get to visit again.

We stop at this location, you have to be here early in the morning for pastries. It's not like tours Les jours where they restock pastries all day. The place was clean and cute. I was disappointed in the lack of selection of pastries availability. The barista was nice and got our drink order fast and ready. We ordered the passion tea and brown sugar milk tea. The brown sugar milk tea did not taste like brown sugar or anything. It lacked flavor and I was looking forward to a good bubble tea. I'm sorry but I bet there is other bubble location that has better bubble tea or I came on an off day for the milk teas.

I've come back more than a few times to try different cupcakes from this bakery, and it has not disappointed! They always have a line when I stop by of people picking up bakery orders or stopping by to grab sweet treats. They have all kinds of pastries and bakery items: cakes, cake pops, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pies, macarons, pop tarts and even packaged drinks. I've gotten a few different cupcakes from them. My favorites have been the peaches and cream, top hat cupcake, pistachio raspberry and strawberry vanilla. Their tiramisu cupcake, margarita cupcake and the key lime cupcakes all actually tasted so much like the namesakes! Their cupcakes are mostly perfectly balanced sweetness: I haven't had anything that was too sweet. Their cakes look so beautifully decorated, but I haven't tried any. They look so good though! Everything in there are so aesthetically pleasing, and if the cupcakes are anything to go by, I'd say flavor wise, the other items would meet expectations! Definitely one of my favorite places in Richmond to get myself a treat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

The line moves pretty quickly and the sweet treats you leave with definitely make it worth it. I enjoy the salted caramel chocolate cake, but there is a plethora of treats to choose from and there's something for everybody from bars to cookies to cake and brownies. It's a whimsical spot, great for a cute little date or just a pick me up. I love the bubbles that they blow outside.

Definitely has that mom-and-pop vibe, they're so nice in the shop and will make sure you're taken care of. I'm really happy I was introduced to it. I'll swing back but for mainly myself next time.

I ordered a variety box of: +a Vigilante - with cream, guava, and coconut +a beef empanada +a chicken empanada +a ham, cheese, and pineapple pastry +a Square with sliced green apples I did order a Guava croissant, but didn't receive it in the box; not sure if they charged me for it, since I didn't ask for one (user error!). I also noticed that we didn't receive any sauces (ie, chimichurri) for the empanadas. Not sure if I caught them off-guard or something! The pastries themselves tasted fresh and not too sweet, and I feel like the best time to go is when they're open first thing in the morning; I also feel that their items do sell out quickly. Staff were super friendly, welcoming, and kind. There were plenty of seating inside, and ample parking in this strip plaza lot. +missing items T___T +friendly service! +plenty of parking

I could not be happier with this darling new location (unless they had an apartment upstairs where…read moreI could live). I remember when the bakery was a tiny hole in the wall just off Broad Street, easy to miss walking by. No longer. The new location is a beautiful corner shop, with better parking, better lighting, better seating, and even more space for the amazing baked goods we know and love. I would recommend an individual thing but it doesn't matter. Short of an allergy, nothing you can have there is a bad idea. Pain chocolate? Amazing. Kouign-amann? Surprisingly soft and fluffy. Thai iced coffee? Smooth, strong, not too sweet, and beautifully refreshing. I can't wait until the pasteles de nata are back on my hands. So should you try it? Hell, I'm house-hunting now so I can move closer.

There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.
