Paris made our wedding cake and it was all around incredible! Holy cow the cake was delicious --…read moremany of our guests liked it so much they had multiple slices and have continued to talk about how memorable it was. We appreciated that we were able to do multiple flavors in the cake (by tiers). We had a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing layer, a coconut cake with lime buttercream layer, and a pistachio cake with raspberry buttercream layer. I truly can't pick a favorite. The coconut cake definitely wins for most interesting and was a huge fan favorite. Beyond the flavor, the cake was beautiful!! Paris arranged flowers on the cake and made our vision come to life. Paris was wonderful to work with from start to finish. From day 1, we could tell Paris was an artist and a baker -- she sketched out cakes based on our description to help us better see what it might look like and sent us home with a big tasting box to help us pick flavors. Paris and Passionflower cakes really helped make our big day memorable and delicious!!

To stay within our budget, she worked very diligently to meet our goals. As the five stars states, "this is as good as it gets."

I discovered this place by surprise when I forgot to prepare coffee for myself like I usually do…read morethe night before work. I needed to find somewhere near my dog's daycare that I could grab a coffee and go straight to work after dropping him off, but I generally drink coffee with oat milk, and I don't like to settle for mcdonalds coffee. Honestly, I wish I had found this place sooner, because I would have been going there a lot. It's a quiet, inviting space with a small, shared parking lot, and it seems like it would be a nice place to dine in as well as take things to go. They had no qualms with using my personal ceramic cup, and their Americano with oat milk is fantastic (they also use Oatly, which is my favorite brand). I peeked at the food menu and the bakery case, and everything looked SO good. I will be back for both coffee and that bacon cheese croissant soon! EDIT: returned a second time for a takeout drink and to get a photo to add to this review, but the staff is so kind and the place is so inviting that I ended up sitting for a bit on their patio. New fav coffee place!

I've been going up to Staunton often recently for family matters, and I've loved taking time to…read morecheck out all the local businesses when I'm able to. Reunion has been a breath of fresh air - really good espresso drinks, pastries, and breads. To be 100% honest, Crucible's coffee is better, but their pastry selection is minuscule and they can feel a bit stuffy. Reunion's pastries are good, though I wish they had more French-inspired things like pain au chocolat, croissants, or even soft cinnamon rolls, but I feel they excel more at the breads side of baking. I got a mini sourdough loaf once and it was excellent! Service is always friendly and happy, and the shop itself is cute, but there isn't much space inside. I'm all for tables outside, but there's not much real estate there either, especially on a busy morning. I think a small adjustment to flow could make it easily sit a couple cafe tables inside without it feeling so crowded. I just miss the days of being able to hang out and have good coffee and snacks while doing some work on a laptop. Seems like most businesses would rather have you out the door instead. I have high standards for bakeries and cafes, and Reunion meets most of them. They're now my favorite place to go in the mornings in Staunton... if they're open. I would go there much more often if I could actually eat my breakfast there instead of having to get back in my car or sit in the blistering summer heat.

This cute little European inspired coffee shop makes a MEAN peach matcha made with a housemade syrup from locally-picked peaches. Honestly, it doesn't get any better than that! We were also on the search for their famous pretzel croissant but unfortunately it was sold out (and usually sells out earlier in the day). We will definitely have to come back again to try.

I ended up here mainly because Cou Cou Rachou is closed on Monday. This place was quite crowded (on…read morea holiday morning) and was struggling to keep items in stock, running out of cookies while I was there and having issues with their oven as well. I ended up getting a brioche with a chocolate hazelnut filling, which delivered amply on texture, though the amount of hazelnut was quite small. An unsweetened iced tea was a good compliment to the sweet bread. Their cooked food menu was modest and didn't have much for me, and they were struggling to get it out anyway. It's a nice space, and there is certainly some quality in the baked goods, but I came out thinking that if my usual spot right up the road was open, I wouldn't even think of coming here.

Flavors we tried: vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, raspberry white chocolate cookie dough and vanilla with strawberry icing and chocolate shavings (not sure of the actual name). All were very tasty, but for me, the highlights were chocolate (excellent), red velvet and vanilla, just amazing, all moist with the right amount of icing. Really want to come back for other flavors. The staff member that helped us was so friendly and helpful. She let us know that it's a good idea to buy in advance as they sell out quickly. She wasn't kidding! When we came back after lunch to pick up our cupcakes that we did buy in advance, some of the flavors were completely gone! So if you know what you want, get it right away.

They are a small batch bakery so their flavors do sell out throughout the day so I recommend getting their early if you don't have a pre-order. Service is quick and staff are very helpful. Small tables a small selection of gift items in store. Cute little bee mural. The cupcakes we have purchased have universally been moist and the frosting has always been the perfect texture and not overly sweet. My husband particularly enjoyed the maple bacon and our guest loved the M&M cookie dough (even the cookie dough tastes homemade in the best way). We know what stop to make when we have guests now!

However, if you want a high-quality Italian pizza, go here immediately. Service: Service was amazing. No complaints. Made us life and recommended great items form their menu. So so so good!
