My first thought when entering was wow! The way the shop was decorated with 50s retro artwork and furniture was adorable! The seating area was so fun and welcoming and the assortment and variety of cupcakes was great! The worker was very friendly and efficient. And the cupcakes themselves were absolutely delicious! If I didn't know they were allergen free, I wouldn't have been able to tell. The texture and taste were wonderful! I highly recommend this adorable shop in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg!

Barely spoke English but I was able to understand her. She took my payment over the phone and I gave her my order. When I came to get the food it was still very warm so as I got to my car I wanted to try one but it was too greasy so I wanted until I got home because I didn't have napkins. I didn't think nothing of it because I had just got them. BUT as I got home & the grease was so much i guess as I was driving some spilled out onto my trunk carpet. Now I'll have to end up cleaning grease out of my trunk (luckily it's a plastic liner). I have never seen this much grease in Tamales. Usually I make them but I had surgery so I couldn't. I took each Tamale out & put them on paper towels. Paper towels were soaked with Lard. So I had to do it again. Again the paper towels got soaked. At the bottom of the container I was able to get over 1 cup of lard/grease. I left the Tamales on the towels to get the grease off. Over night I wanted some so bad I just ate 4. It was so greasy I got sick to my stomach (sharp pains all day & night) & couldn't go (poop) for days cuz the grease. I paid $78 for them & had to end up throwing them away cause it was too greasy. I have never seen so much Lard. The photos attached is just before I put them in the trash. And a day of having them on paper towels to get the grease off. Each one was saturated with lard. This ruined my Christmas cause I was sick to my stomach for days. & was not able to celebrate like we usually do with Tamales on Christmas.

I mean look at the picture! My wife;e name is Autumn, and her birthday is in October, so Chef Tea just threw together this gorgeously​ themed cake with little instruction, and the price was honestly less than a few lattes at Starbucks​. She will DEFINITELY have my patronage in future events. One more ​thing: My wife is allergic to eggs. I don't know how she managed it, but Chef Tea pulled this whole cake together with buttercream chocolate icing and the entire recipe had NO EGGS. Amazing. Top marks Heaven's Gate!

Heaven's Gate Catering and Lil Tea's Specialty Desserts are THE BEST!!…read moreWe first met this family at the Long Family Farmers Market in Stafford, VA about 8 years ago. After experiencing their incredible food and desserts multiple times, we were hooked. We have used their catering for holiday meals 5-6 times (maybe more...I've lost count). Started when we had family in town and didn't want to cook. Was so good, we started having them make our Thanksgiving dinner even when family wasn't coming in town! They are that good!! Love their lunches at the market! Asian fried chicken last week was awesome! (I heard jerk chicken and more are coming this season!) Teisha's lemonades are a given every week too! (Jamaican pineapple ginger lemonade is our favorite so far!) Chef Tea's desserts are second to none!! She has made multiple, VERY special (and tasty!) birthday cakes for our kids over the past few years! We rarely leave the farmer's market without several delicious desserts from Chef Tea. She always has something different every week and you can't go wrong not matter what you choose! Hummingbird cake, Nutella-stuffed chocolate chip cookies (and brownies), mini cheesecakes, blondies, toffee brownies.....the list is long and delicious!! Come to the farmers market to meet them and try their incredible food! Like our family....you'll be back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I had their apple strudel which had come straight out of the oven so it was steaming hot and full of yummie goodness! You can see and smell the food going in and out of the oven. Definitely served fresh! And when its below zero outside, the pastries fresh out of the oven will warm you right up! They also serve hot chocolate here and in my opinion was a large cup portion than all the other vendors at this event. PLUS, they take all sorts of credit cards which the other vendors do not do. My apple strudel was covered in a light dusting of powdered sugar and every bite was extremely flaky. These people know how to do strudel!!!! They also have savory pastries here as well. At $4 (half) to $8 (full) a serving, its definitely affordable.
