Di Gennaro was about 10 minutes from me and the photos looked great so I decided to try. I will definitely be returning! The customer service was great and the food tasted amazing.

I ordered a variety box of: +a Vigilante - with cream, guava, and coconut +a beef empanada +a chicken empanada +a ham, cheese, and pineapple pastry +a Square with sliced green apples I did order a Guava croissant, but didn't receive it in the box; not sure if they charged me for it, since I didn't ask for one (user error!). I also noticed that we didn't receive any sauces (ie, chimichurri) for the empanadas. Not sure if I caught them off-guard or something! The pastries themselves tasted fresh and not too sweet, and I feel like the best time to go is when they're open first thing in the morning; I also feel that their items do sell out quickly. Staff were super friendly, welcoming, and kind. There were plenty of seating inside, and ample parking in this strip plaza lot. +missing items T___T +friendly service! +plenty of parking

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 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.

Laura was great to work with designing a custom cake that was perfect for our wedding. She was flexible in having a cake with multiple flavors and making adjustments (like the request for fresh fruit in between each layer). The cake was beautiful, but what was even more amazing was that the cake tasted just as good as it looked. Guest after guest came up to us during the wedding and after the wedding to tell us it was the BEST CAKE THEY HAD EVER EATEN IN THEIR LIVES. Not just the best wedding cake, but the best cake EVER. When you factor it taste, beauty, and price I don't think there is ANY better baker in the city of Richmond. I give The Buttercream Bee my highest recommendation. You will NOT be disappointed, give Laura a call for the cake of your dreams!

I was greeted as I entered the store. They had a small selection of cupcakes to choose from and the owner who I will add was very nice, described the flavors. I made my purchase and her toddler daughter gave the sweetest goodbye. Now the cupcakes, in my opinion lacked flavor and they were either stale and/or refrigerated previously. I purchased to share with friends and we all shared the same thoughts. Unfortunately, they went into the trash as they were not edible. I'm hoping this was a bad day but a waste of my $20.

I made the 25-minute drive, and it was 100% worth it. I built my own with vanilla crème frosting, fresh raspberries, and Oreo crumbles. It came out warm, soft, and perfectly ooey gooey. Then I took it out back, found a seat overlooking the fountain, and just enjoyed the moment. It honestly felt a little magical. I fully intended to have some self-control and save half for the next day... That plan lasted about three bites. I ate the whole thing right there. Zero regrets. They also have a bunch of other sweet treats if cinnamon rolls aren't your thing. The employees were so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The whole experience felt like a warm hug. The best part? I found out afterward that Cinnaholic is actually a chain, which means I have one near home too. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back.

There are several varieties, with apples, berries, cookies, caramel etc., but I like the good, classic Old Skool. Here's what could make this tiny, unique shop score more stars: the atmosphere - it's boring inside, and uncomfortable. Teeny tables squeezed along the galley near the counter. Some of the tables would work better in the corner where the drink case is. Some colorful posters featuring the different treats would warm up this otherwise "sterile" shop. Next: service - the two people behind the counter didn't want to be there, apparently. No welcome, no smile, when I asked for some utensils, she just pointed to the table near the beverage case. I found forks, but no knives to cut the pastry, so we made do. A friend of mine said, they do have knives but I wasn't told that by the young girl who worked there. Anyway, Next: the napkins - please "splurge" on some softer napkins! What's up with those sandpaper servilletas?? I thought I'd scratch myself wiping my mouth. I also ordered a cinnamon bun to go for the friend who referred me here, and they will put the frosting separate, so you can warm up the roll in your own oven! So that was nice!! That being said, I think that if they tweaked this place a bit, it would be a hot spot because the sweet rolls are cinn-fully cinn-alicious!
