Hidden Gem for Sweet Tooths & Pup Parents!…read more We visited House of Marmalade as part of the Hampton Roads Passport Series, and I am so glad we did -- I don't think I would've discovered this little gem otherwise! The shop is small and cozy with no indoor seating, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm and incredible sweets. The bakery case was absolutely stunning -- full of beautifully made cookies, macarons, and more. We tried three macarons (espresso, almond, and salted caramel), and every single one was perfection -- fresh, flavorful, and just the right size and sweetness. We also grabbed a shortbread cookie, which was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And let's not forget our pup! Lexi got a pumpkin cupcake with peanut butter icing, topped with a tiny bone-shaped treat -- not only adorable, but she devoured it. Definitely pup-approved! The staff was fantastic -- super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You can tell they care about their craft and their customers. Whether you're doing the Passport Tour or just looking for a place to grab something sweet, House of Marmalade is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back!

This tiny bakery did not disappoint and was better than expected and remembered from my childhood (Please just don't tell mom). The flavors were satisfying and took your tastebuds on a journey!

My son got some chocolate ice cream, and then I loaded up on some macaroons to take home. They are so soft and crunchy like a macaroon is supposed to be. Service was amazing! I plan to come again and have a coffee and some cake!

I've only been here once, a long time ago…read more From what I remember, it was only OK. The macaroons were alright. I think I had some other type of dessert, but I can't even recall that. I remember being here back when it was a yogurt shop. I might give it another go some day, but I'm not sure.

**5-Star Google Review:**…read more I absolutely love this cupcake shop! They offer a *huge* variety of different cupcake flavors, and every one I've tried has been delicious and beautifully crafted. They also have actual cakes and cookies, so there's something for every sweet tooth. The staff is super friendly and always welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is really inviting, and a cool bonus is the little green wall perfect for selfies--such a fun feature! They even have seasonal flavors that keep things exciting. Definitely a must-visit for any dessert lover!

This must be what Heaven tastes like... sweet to me!! Nothing but pure bliss…read more Well back in February 2020, I had the opportunity to try this baker out for myself. If you recall a few months prior, I only had a slice of cake and fell in love. This time around, I ordered a sheet cake and some cupcakes for the kiddos. Everyone was thoroughly pleased! I only kept raving about this baker for months... the day came for all to taste and see what the hype was about! I ordered a strawberry lemonade flavor for the children and a strawberry champagne for the adults. This cake was super rich, I could only eat one good sized slice. But I made sure I had more for later. I think the cake lasted a good week and every day I had a slice and it kept tasting better and better. Now if you want to treat yourself, check her out! Her customer service is on point as well. I placed an order online and receive word via email about someone contacting me about my order. It may have been an hour that went by before I noticed an email in my inbox from the bakery. My daughter kept changing her mind on what type of party(ies) she wanted. As a result, I at least reached out to the bakery via email three times before my order was final and the flavoring and design was set. Each time the contact person, I believe it was the owner, she was super professional and continued to work with me and my different arrangements until everything was final. I understand she has tens maybe hundreds of orders each month, but she was focused on getting my order right and making sure I was satisfied. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend you give this baker a try. Make sure you check her office hours online, but I'm thinking someone is always monitoring the email. At this time with all the turmoil going on in the world, I believe she is offering delivery of baked goods. I noticed she's offering a KETO style cookie too. I think I am going to try those. real soon. Her masterpieces and gifted hands are worth every cent. Support local, Buy local! Have fun and enjoy life :)

We also tried the peach and mango margaritas, which were refreshing and had a great fruity flavor. The chips and salad came with their white sauce dip, which was really good. We also ordered the birria empanadas with the consommé, and they were packed with flavor! Love the elote!! The waiters were very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was nice and welcoming, although it does usually get busy because it's a popular spot. Overall, a great place for affordable tacos, good drinks, and a fun atmosphere.

But once we realized they have delicious pupusas, which we love, we decided to stay and so glad we did! I ordered the chicken and cheese, as well as jalapeño and cheese pupusas, which came with pickled slaw and a yummy sauce. My husband got their flautas. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Service was friendly and prompt, and the decor - colorful! We enjoyed it very much!

Our wedding was on July 11th and we ordered from Storybook Bakery because they were the only bakery…read morewho had reasonable prices for a 3-tier wedding cake. Our cake was only $326 which was phenomenal because other places were charging $800-$1,000 for a 3-tier wedding cake. I really loved the user-friendly website they had. Ordering was so simple and easy and I was able to order a gorgeous pre-made, 3-tier cake, that Jessica and Erik were able to add our wedding colors to. The cake was a vintage style cake and it quite elegant. The top two layers were vanilla with the bottom being chocolate. The cake was delicious, moist, with the perfect amount of buttercream icing. The guests absolutely loved the chocolate as it had layers of what looked like fudge in between the layers or cake. The slices were a mile high tall and did I mentioned the moistness of the cake?! It was amazing. The vanilla was delicious as well, but the chocolate was the crowd favorite. Our guests loved the cake. We will be ordering from Jessica and Erik in the future for events and milestones. We also support veteran owned businesses. Look no further if you want a beautiful and reasonably priced wedding cake!

BUYER BEWARE! I would review this as ZERO if I could. I ordered 4 dozen cookies for my daughter's…read morebridal shower. They were delivered on time but EVERY SINGLE cookie was broken into pieces. I immediately contacted the owner, Jessica, via email (that's the only way to communicate with them), she stated that UPS probably mishandled the package and I should send her pictures. UPS had no fault in this, as the box they were in was small and not sturdy and FRAGILE was not marked on the box. The box was squished. It was the way they were packaged and sent that caused the entire contents to be smashed. Once I sent her pictures, she would not respond to me any further, I sent 3 more emails asking for a refund and never got any response. I don't understand how a business can operate like that. I had to file a claim with my CC and finally received the refund. This Jessica does not care about her customers in the least, I was devastated that I could not use the planned cookies as favours for my daughert's shower and scrambled to get something else, 3 days before the event.

Some of us didn't even know we liked strawberry cake until we tasted this one. Service always is top notch. This is the only place I will get cakes from now on.

Happy to have found this gem and you will be too!

Imagine my surprise when I walked out of the coffee shop on Tuesday and saw the Klassic Doughnut…read moreTrailer across the street! They always have a line but I must have caught it at the right time. I may not be able to enjoy the donuts, (PLEASE OFFER GF!!!) but my husband does! He immediately jumped in line and ordered the maple bacon donut and a cinnamon donut. My goodness did they smell soooo good. They are so fresh as they are prepping them right in front of you! He enjoyed them over the next few days and absolutely loved them. If you can ever catch their locations (they are at farmers markets etc) and don't mind standing in line. Most definitely check them out!!!!

We stopped by Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery to pick up some Klassic Doughnuts, and it turned out to be…read morea fantastic decision. The line was long, but after the first bite, it was easy to understand why. We tried the Cinnamon Sugar and the Blueberry doughnuts. Both were fresh, light, and delicious, but the blueberry was the clear favorite. It was packed with flavor and easily one of the best doughnuts we've had. The doughnuts were generously sized, making them perfect for sharing. We paired them with our Pinup Coffees and enjoyed them inside the brewery's air-conditioned taproom--a welcome escape from the summer heat. One of the fun things about Klassic Doughnuts is that their wagon is always on the move, popping up at different locations throughout the area. If you happen to see them nearby, don't let the line discourage you. Some things are worth waiting for, and these doughnuts are definitely one of them.

I was given some chicken empanadas and siopao as a thank you gift, I ordered a gorgeous wedding…read morecake from the owner's bakery, and omg these empanadas were the best empanadas I've ever had!! And believe me when I say I've had a lot in the Hampton Roads area! I have yet to taste the siopao but I just know they're amazing as well! These empanadas are baked not fried, which drew me in. This business is home based. You can find her information on Facebook. You can bet I will be ordering more goodies from her especially this upcoming holiday season!

They're patient when you take your time since you can't make up your mind: should I get jumbo cupcakes? Or the regular sized ones? Should I go fruity like lemon or strawberry or go big on chocolate or Oreos or ?? I got the 3 regular sized cupcakes (not jumbo) : almond, chocolate grande and peach;best one is the almond. Wish they use buttercream instead of sugar frosting as it would have been more delicate and not too sweet. There are jumbo cupcakes for over $7 each, a little pricey.
