There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.

I walked in after seeing their sign on the sidewalk last week (I'd had a meeting nearby and was walking back to my car). It's just a tiny shop with the most beautiful loaves of bread. I left with a gorgeous loaf of rye, but they still had a few options when I arrived in the afternoon on a weekday pretty close to their closing time (several types were sold out, but I still had options). The founder of Europa Crust seems a little obsessed with bread, and residents of Richmond, that's to your benefit. Bread lovers, stop and check it out.

The breads are in the window, on a shelf, and in a basket. I went for the Rustic Italian bread which was a hit! The woman behind the counter had the charm that matched the place. She was very warm, welcoming, and sweet. I highly recommend trying this place. Enjoy!

And it's always cozy inside.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

I had been here once before and ordered my friend a birthday mini fruit tart and myself a cake. I remember wishing the cake was a bit more moist and curious to try other desserts. I'm so happy I returned. This time I ordered the turtle cheesecake slice and a passionfruit tart for myself. I devoured these sweets. They were so yummy. They have more of a takeout situation here, so I ordered my sweets to go and ate them at home. It's pretty tiny shop. I loved the cheesecake the most. The passionfruit tart was fun, although with passionfruit as the base flavor I wish there were more tropical topping and then maybe a plain custard one with the berries. It was still tasty. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area looking for some dessert.

The cake I had was a red velvet cake beautifully decorated, but a little heavy and sugary for me al thought I usually eat cake from asian bakeries. The toffee cookie was also amazing!

I'm definitely coming back for the passion fruit tart, the other tarts do not compare and i'm so so serious about it .....

We made a reservation on their website and upon arrival, I was glad we did. There's limited seating indoors, about 10 tables mostly for parties of 2. There's also patio seating with a few space heaters. There was 1 server handling all the tables indoors and she was fantastic. We tried a couple lattes, croissant sammies, and the cinnamon roll. The chicken salad sammie was my favorite. The croissant was fluffy and buttery and the chicken salad was refreshing. The cinnamon roll was great too, though a tad too sweet for me, and is made with croissant dough.

The menu also has lots of different choices which all sounded delicious. I got the chocolate croissant and thought it was delicious! The coffee ... not my favorite. It isn't bad by any means but it is just meh. Honestly a coffee from starbucks is better for the same price. I also did not try the cupcakes but they looked beautiful and well made. Overall, great shop with a great atmosphere and a great food menu. Coffee on the other hand is just average. I would recommend this place solely for the atmosphere.

I remember when the bakery was a tiny hole in the wall just off Broad Street, easy to miss walking by. No longer. The new location is a beautiful corner shop, with better parking, better lighting, better seating, and even more space for the amazing baked goods we know and love. I would recommend an individual thing but it doesn't matter. Short of an allergy, nothing you can have there is a bad idea. Pain chocolate? Amazing. Kouign-amann? Surprisingly soft and fluffy. Thai iced coffee? Smooth, strong, not too sweet, and beautifully refreshing. I can't wait until the pasteles de nata are back on my hands. So should you try it? Hell, I'm house-hunting now so I can move closer.
