I asked her to make Texas sheet cake, of which she'd never done, and she discovered there was a chocolate and a blonde recipe out there. She made both, not know which we preferred, and also added a few other cupcakes to add color and more flavor to our assortment - all of her own doing and not asking to charge us extra. We gladly compensated her for her sweet thoughtfulness and for treating our daughter's wedding as if it were thing she had on her plate. She's delightful, dependable, and took our daughters wedding personal to make it a beautiful presentation. We travelled back to TN with the few left over desserts and I seriously have hidden them to eat them myself. Highly recommend. She's very responsive and a pro and her sweet husband helped with the delivery.

Excellent,specialized cupcakes from a lovely at-home store owner. Consider using this home baker…read morefor small and large orders! The chocolate cupcake was fluffy, moist, and evenly filled with chocolate ganache. The peanut butter buttercream frosting was one of the best I've had; not overly sweet and was not at all gritty! The individual boxes that the cupcakes came in were a wonderful, unexpected touch. The process for ordering and picking up the cupcakes was effortless. Brenda, the store owner, was a sweet woman who took my phone call with excitement. She walked me through her flavor profiles and gave me an affordable rate for a half dozen cupcakes. I ordered approximately 5 days before I needed to pick them up with no issues. I even gave her an approximate time I would pick them up at and she made sure to have them ready by then. On pickup day, I drove out to her home which was minutes off Route 29 (behind the CVS on Moore Rd.) Her home, including her kitchen, were immaculate and very, very clean! Just a wonderful experience all around! Please consider giving your business to a local baker!

I first saw this sweet little farm advertised in a Virginia magazine and decided to follow them on…read moreIG. Who doesn't love a place that mills their own flour for their baked goods? Chef's kiss. My husband and I traveled 3 hours to come here specifically for their March Bread Day, which featured pizza. Wowza, did it impress! We placed our order on arrival for our pizzas (45 minute wait, baked with love) and wandered the property with our pup and grabbed some seasonal lattes. Their vanilla rose latte was perfection! Now, onto the pizzas. These are good enough to be in any ritzy downtown Italian restaurant. Absolutely delicious. We ordered one with basil and one with pepperoni. They definitely could have poured on the basil, as there was really only sprinkles here and there. But, still good! We also pre-ordered goods that we picked up from their bread barn and got a croissant, breakfast cake and blueberry muffin to go. All delicious! The croissant you could have found in a Parisian bakery! I wish these guys were closer, but know the people of Raphine have found a gem at Seasons Yield!

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.

Seriously a hidden gem! We attempted to go to breakfast across the street and it was mobbed, so we…read morewent across the street here. It's hidden in the plaza and was not crowded at all. They have scones and muffins on display, as well as quiche and some pies, and a few other savory breakfast and lunch items. They also have a huge cheesecake listing that gives the Cheesecake Factory a run for its money. I got the bacon Swiss quiche. It was delicious! It had a ton of seasoning that was almost pizza like, with oregano. The owner is very nice. There's not a lot of seating inside but there are tables outside.

I wandered in here because of the excessive lines across the street on Mother's day. It is a smaller bakery, though they have an amazing selection of cheesecake. I grabbed a muffin and a tea, while my wife got a quiche. The muffin was good. They've got an interesting selection of teas, which was fun -- I got a black tea, Scottish breakfast, which tasted just like English breakfast. Everything was good, the staff are friendly, there's no wait, and the prices are good. Find the place.

Unfortunately, this was such a letdown for more than one reason. First up- the place is open…read more7am-5pm but when we arrived 12pm they were sold out of every type of bread, every single donut and had very minimal pastries available. If they were only open 7-12pm this would be understandable but how are they prepared to be open for another 5 hours with barely any food to sell! Second- the food we did buy was lacking. We bought the daily special kolach which had a fine plum jam on it but the pastry was overcooked and dry. The cinnamon roll looked pale, small and sad but gave it a try and it tasted how it looked. We also tried a piece of Babka which again was dry and overcooked. My husband's family is Czech, we love Czech food and pastries. This was such a letdown.
