Hired to bake a 3-tier wedding cake, the process was super simple, they have excellent selections and all were delicious. They worked with us on design and details in a way that was so helpful, and delivery on the day was absolutely flawless. All three cakes we chose were so good, it was perfect! read more

Chandler's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

My family and I have been customers for over 30 years. Last week my husband ordered a birthday cake for my birthday. We served the cake same night. To our surprise, the cake was dry and crumbly. The icing also tasted off. I called Chandler's when they were open again. Ultimately, I was asked to bring the cake back for them to inspect it. The person in charge stated nothing was wrong with the cake. She then asked the owner and they never bothered to call me back. They have touched my cake and said I could come pick it up if I wanted to. They are refusing to replace the cake or refund us. Apparently they do not care about quality products as much as they claim! We will never visit this bakery again! We are not longer loyal customers! read more

Chandler's Bakery - This is what the cake looks like on the inside. Look how crumbly it is! - Bakeries Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Soooo good! Ordered a custom birthday cake on Wednesday and picked it up on Friday. It was the most delicious Black Forrest cake I've ever had! Highly recommended and will definitely go back. read more

I have a lot of delicious childhood memories here. I loved the sugar cookies, gingerbread girls, and giant smiley face sprinkle cookies back then, and I love the cannolis and strawberry cake now. I hope they stick around for a long time! read more

This bakery is phenomenal. I try to make it to a bakery ever 2 weeks or so for a treat. I've had little success in nova. I drove down here to visit my family and picked Chandler's randomly. The selection is crazy. Each dessert we picked out was meticulously crafted and the quality was unbelievable. The strawberry shortcake and fruit tart are my go to. This will be my pit stop every time I'm in the area. Great people, great bakery. read more

Fabulous selection of pastries, pies and cakes. Always busy and the staff is very nice. To convenient for me across the street from Lowe's. read more

Very, very, very disappointed in their service today. My family has been buying their cakes in Charlottesville for every occasion for many years. Today, while visiting Charlottesville I wanted some goodies for my long drive home. We bought many items and wanted to separate them so I could take them on my journey. The counter person refused to give us an additional box to separate the 8 items that we bought unless we paid an additional $5. Poor, poor service. Chandler's Bakery of Charlottesville, you lost a customer today. read more

I visit Chandler's bakery weekly. It has such an incredible variety of desserts. I love the checkerboard cake slice and my wife loves the lemon coconut cake slice. The cookies are delicious with a nice variety of sugar, chocolate chip/chunk, and my families favorite fudge fingers. Do not forget the bread, Chandler's has the best fresh Italian bread in Charlottesville. I am off to Chandler's this morning to get an M&M birthday cake! read more

I'm a teacher, and this past spring I experienced Chander's for the first time when another teacher brought two cakes from Chandler's for an occasion for our 8th graders. Oh. My. Wow. The cake was absolutely fantastic. The traditional yellow cake/ buttercream icing was perfect. The chocolate cake/ fudge icing was even better. I don't even like chocolate cake. Now I do- all because of you, Chandler's, all because of you. Recently, it was my husband's birthday. He wanted cake, and we were in town thinking about where to go. The cake would only be for the two of us, so we didn't want something big. We thought about a couple different cupcake places and he just wasn't feeling cupcakes. And then I remembered the perfection that is Chandler's. We showed up at the bakery and were just enticed by the aroma. Everything behind the glass counter looked amazing. We split a piece of the Mooch Cake which is highly, highly recommended to you by me, friends. The absolute most delicious thing I've ever tasted when it comes to cake. It is chocolate cake plus yellow cake plus peanut butter butter cream icing covered in a chocolate shell. What?! Who even thinks of these things?! We also had a giant ladylock and a tiny cannoli. Yum. Everything was delicious. I have to say that this is my favorite bakery in C'Ville that I've tried to date. If you need a cake or any delicious sugary treat, get yourself here, fast! read more

Chandler's Bakery - Everything looks amazing! - Bakeries Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

The cake was good but the service was poor. Ordered the cake that morning to pick up at 4pm. Before I picked up the cake I took a look.....well the last three letters of "congratulations" was falling down the side of the cake and they left the "e" off Jake. After pointing this out I got a snappy response that "only the end is falling off" and it would take 30 minutes to fix it....? "OK, how about the misspelled name, it's kind of important to have the correct spelling," the girl was still rude and huffed and puffed about adding an e. That was the last cake we ever buy at Chandlers. Ordering a cake should not be this frustrating. read more

Chandler's Bakery - congratulations cake in a box - Bakeries Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

If I could do ZERO stars I would! Called ahead by 2 days. Assured they had curbside and they were touch less. So I ordered 6 cupcakes. Went today to pick them up: called as instructed. Told oh well you can just come in we are right by the door. I thought ok. I have my mask. Yep NO! Wait in line, give my name 3 ft from other customer. Then wait 5 minutes for preordered to be boxed?? Then go in to pay. They ask for my card, and a signature! With their grimy pen no less!!! No wipe down between customers, NO touch less, no gloves on girl who served me, just mask have on!!! NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN!! I asked for a reason! If I'd have known I'd have brought my own pen and worn gloves. My husband and I ate both high risk. He has no spleen if exposed he dies . No consideration for customers. read more

My absolute, hands down, favorite bakery of all time. They made my little girl's birthday possible, with a last minute cake order! Nobody else within 100 miles could make the cake by the time we needed it, but Chandlers was ON IT!! I just ordered our second cake today, I'm sure they'll do an amazing job! read more

Chandler's Bakery - Beautiful Baby Owl Cake, Sybil's first birthday! - Bakeries Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I have been shopping @ Chandlers Bakery for many years. I always look forward to ordering their custom cakes. The cakes are absolutely gorgeous, decorated beautifully, & taste delicious. My friends & family are thrilled beyond measure!!! read more

Don't expect this to be some high quality bakery but your eyes might enjoy themselves since their visual presentation of their sweets can appeal to an extent. I'd say their sweets are pretty basic. You'll find "normal" cupcakes and even just basic sheet cake with frosting. Here and there you'll have something interesting that's oreo or chocolate related. The nice thing is that they have large sized free samples so.. aye. Quality of the sweets are like I said, not up to par with other bakeries, but if you're looking for some grocery-store-like-but-a-bit-better sweets, then this is the place. read more

Love this place! It's got variety and classics, like eclairs and chocolate dipped cheesecake(the best!!). They have great cakes too and with the newer location, there is a much better lay out with more display opportunity. read more

Chandler's Bakery - Eclair, small cannoli, black and white cookie, sprinkle cookies and peanut butter with Hershey kiss. All for $7.49. Great deal! - Bakeries Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

excellent! just excellent ! cant wait to come back here and try more of their stuff fyi, i rarely give out 5 or 1 star reviews. so if i do, they certainly earn it we tried their napoleon and moose cake, both were awesome price is ok but their quality is superb, i cannot wait to go back! read more

We ordered cupcakes and smallish cake. We specified birthday but received fall-themed decorations. Worse, everything was completely STALE. I think we got cupcakes that had been sitting in the case for a week. read more

At the best bakery antics in town, this place is a must see. I stop in every time I go to the fabric store I make a little stop into Chandlers; They have Canollis, Cheesecake squares and staples like stuffed croissants. That being said I'm delighted to announce a new to me item on the menu. You can now stop in to pick up raw pizza dough as well as Portuguese rolls. Both are staples in my diet. The rolls were puffy, and the dough was the perfect stress reliever for pizza night at my house and reasonably priced as well. In any case, if you were looking for pizza crust that was as rustic as homemade​ without the commitment to let it proof, stop into Chandlers. read more

Beautiful cake! Seamless delivery. And delicious. I got the one they suggested for 40 people and we had so many leftovers. If you are on the fence order the smaller one. But we'll worth it. read more

See all

Ordered a red velvet birthday cake and it was amazing! Super fresh, tasty and beautifully decorated!! I'll be back for all my baked goods!

Chandler's has always been our bakery of choice. So, when we had an important event, we went in 7 days in advance to get information and place the order. We had a very friendly young lady wait on us. She answered our questions and quoted us a price. However, when we went to pick up the order, the pastries were more than twice the size promised and double the cost. I called to get an explanation and was told I'd get a return call which never came and they chose not to reply to a written inquiry. read more

My wife and I got a cake here to celebrate my dad's birthday and Holy smokes was it tasty!! They always have bomb.com samples, which is a fun way to taste their lovely desserts. Try to go early in the morning when everything is extra fresh! Good local bakery with friendly helpful staff! read more

Frosting on cake did not taste of look like cream cheese frosting and the box was not big enough for the cake . So the flowers were smashed .But the cake part was good, read more

In Charlottesville for my birthday and hoping to get a petit four to help ring in my 30th birthday only to be told they only make them for special occasions. So disappointing! I opted for a gingerbread cookie which was not great. The icing was crunchy but the cookie was pretty big. read more

I ordered a custom cake (farm animal sheet cake with a barn) we had provided a picture. It could not have been more perfect. On top of being an adorable cake it was delicious. Sam did an excellent job. I order several cakes per year from Chandler's and they never disappoint. read more

I've been going here for years. My favorite birthday cake I have them make is yellow cake, cannoli filling, chocolate buttercream. You are welcome. They do tend to be icing heavy on their cakes which is why I like ordering a cannoli filled cake. Mooch bars also amazing read more

Chandler's is usually very good but every once in a while I get something that is stale. My son loves to get slices of sheet cake. My daughter loves the cupcakes with the plastic trinkets on top. Their breads are also delicious. read more

Wish there was more stars.. They where friendly, very helpful. I went in after working in the yard. Not looking my best to say the least. The other patrons dressed to the nine. At no time did the staff make me feel unwanted or unappreciated. They where packed and I was treated as I was the only customer. Spinish and sausage bread was great and the napoleon bar yumm Drool. And the carrot cake. Not over sweet perfect texture. And great samples. They don't make you feel lime a hog dog for eating there great items. Thx Chandler's you rock.. read more

Wonderful!!! Love their strawberry cake, lemon filled cake and the carrot cake is the best. Try the ham and cheese croissant if available, it is delicious. read more

Amazing smells hit you as you walk in! It is an old school NewYork style Italian bakery transplanted here in the heart of Virginia. They even have the red and white twine to tie up the boxes. Definitely worth the trip from Richmond. read more
