She said normally orders take her between 1-2 days to complete, but she was able to complete mine same day! She kept me informed of my order, when it was baking and when she started decorating. She made it easy to plan to get them. I couldn't believe how beautiful they were! You could taste the care. It wasn't some box-mix wannabe. It was moist and not too sweet to hurt your teeth. I love supporting small businesses. This will definitely be a go to for quality cupcakes.

I LOVE Pearl's Bake Shoppe. I've been eyeing their cupcakes for a while before finally deciding to…read moretry them, but I'm so glad that I did! 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!

I was lucky to find a parallel parking spot right in front of the building. This is a boutique shop, so they offer curated chocolates. I visited shortly before Christmas and my mom purchased sweets shaped like reindeer for my cousin's kids.

Prices match the quality, so they're not the cheapest option.

A friend and I stopped in today to have some sweet treats and wow we were both amazed with this place. Not only does it offer amazing and delicious baked goods, but it also has hot food, alcoholic beverages, along with a lot of cute items for sale. It was painful to stand in line to place my order because once I thought I had figured out what I wanted, I saw something else that looked equally delicious. I ended up with a slice of salted chocolate caramel cake, which came with extra salted caramel, and it was delicious! I couldn't eat it all so it was nice to have the rest of the piece later at home. My friend got one of the Shindigz cookies and raved about it. She said it was one of the best cookies she's ever had. They have indoor and outdoor seating and as today was a nice day, we sat outside in a little garden area that had fountains and was very nice. If you have a sweet tooth and a hankering for something delicious, Shindigz is the place to go!

You walk in and can order small bites, cocktails, or coffee drinks at the camper right in front, then you can peruse their various gift options, and then you get to the dessert counter where you'll see their giant cakes, pies, and other offerings. Or, you can skip right to the dessert options! I have yet to have a bad dessert here, but favorite include their Oreo mocha pie, any version of Oreo cake, cannoli, and their homemade Oreos. Service is always warm and friendly, and there are lots of tables to sit inside or outside in their garden area! A Richmond staple and for good reason!

The order of bacon and scrambled eggs on a bagel put in at the counter and waited on netted me a delicious bagel with deliciously soft scrambled eggs and bacon that was unevenly cooked but completely edible. The order done ahead online through Toast got me the same bagel and marginally better cooked bacon, but the scrambled eggs came out of the refrigerator in the form of a pretty firm puck of scrambled egg. The resulting product tasted entirely different from the one I had ordered once I got there, which was about a 15 minute wait, if that. It was so disappointing that I threw half of it in the trash. Order in = 5 star. Order ahead = 1 star. My lesson for today: DO NOT ORDER AHEAD for Baltik's Bagels. You're welcome. P.S. I have added a star to my second review because the response to my complaint received immediate serious attention. The second bagel was still one star. Order at the counter when you get there.
