They have a nice extensive menu, offering breakfast pastries, GF items, vegan desserts, as well as coffee and cold drinks. When I went, most of the items seemed to have been sold out for the day - I saw a scrumptious-looking large cookie labeled as a 'Millionaire Cookie', and got one of those. It was packed inside a cute little treat bag. The cookie itself had a nice crisp exterior and the insides was dense with a slight of chewiness; definitely chunks of chocolate throughout, but it wasn't overly sweet. It was a nice accompaniment to coffee or tea! Staff were so friendly and kind. There are a handful of seating inside to enjoy your treats before you head on your way; I loved how the cafe itself was well-cooled and comfortable! I'd like to return to check out some of their other pastries on the next visit. Street parking can be found in the area. +Millionaire Cookie +friendly service! +go early for a larger selection +street parking in the area

Featuring a changing/rotating menu of cookies, pies, and cakes, this quaint shop was recently opened by a local Richmond family with the dream of feeding your soul one baked good at a time! At their soft opening over the weekend, I sampled just about everything they had to offer. Not only are the sweet tears gorgeous to look at, they are also ridiculously delicious. Of the three cookie choices, the dark chocolate chip cookie with sea salt was my favorite. Rich, buttery, with the perfect balance of salt, sweet, and semi-bitter dark chocolate. Perfectly crunchy edges with a soft, chewy center. The decadent Death by Chocolate brownie was also a knockout. I'm still trying to understand what voodoo magic was used to create the perfectly crisp edges and the sublimely moist, chewy center! While delectable by itself, I fully intend to go back for more to make a brownie sundae next time I need to eat my feelings. At the suggestion of one of the kiddos behind the counter, I opted for the carrot cake over the berry pie. Hard to go wrong here with this classic cake and it definitely did not disappoint. It's on par with any southern grandma's cake but only better! Pies and Cakes also does custom orders with advanced notice! Prior to the brick and mortar, we ordered cakes for several special occasions that were always as beautifully decorated as they were tasty! And as if all this weren't enough, they will have bi-monthly pizza pop ups featuring their very own homemade sourdough! Pizza nights will be pre-order only and will be announced via social media so make sure and follow for updates!
