Today, I wanted to try things I normally don't go out of my way for. So, I decided on bakeries…read more This one had been on my saved places for about two years or so now, and I decided to finally give it a go. Walking in, it was warm and smelled of bread. Very cozy. Everything looked lovely, it was hard to decide on what to get. She had also just made some fresh pastries. I decided on some ube pendesal, and as I'm a sucker for tiramisu I also asked for that. She offered the fresh pendesal as well, which I couldn't say no to, so I got that as well. She was overall very nice. I saw the empanadas in the corner, and I know I'm already gonna have to come back to try more. She told me how to keep the pendesal fresh, and I thanked her and went to my car to try the breads. The fresh pandesal was amazing. Fluffy, light, warm, soft, a little sweet, just so good. The ube one was a little heavier, and had a halaya and cream cheese filling, which I just loved. It would've been better warm, but I was hungry and wanted to try things. I waited til I got home to try to tiramisu, and oh my god that is some of the best tiramisu I've had in the area. I tried one at the farmers market by an Italian lady, and I think this one is better. It has good ratios of everything. It's not drowning in coffee, the cream is nice and sweet, and it isn't too mushy. This will now be my go-to spot for tiramisu for sure. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Hidden Gem for Sweet Tooths & Pup Parents!…read more We visited House of Marmalade as part of the Hampton Roads Passport Series, and I am so glad we did -- I don't think I would've discovered this little gem otherwise! The shop is small and cozy with no indoor seating, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm and incredible sweets. The bakery case was absolutely stunning -- full of beautifully made cookies, macarons, and more. We tried three macarons (espresso, almond, and salted caramel), and every single one was perfection -- fresh, flavorful, and just the right size and sweetness. We also grabbed a shortbread cookie, which was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And let's not forget our pup! Lexi got a pumpkin cupcake with peanut butter icing, topped with a tiny bone-shaped treat -- not only adorable, but she devoured it. Definitely pup-approved! The staff was fantastic -- super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You can tell they care about their craft and their customers. Whether you're doing the Passport Tour or just looking for a place to grab something sweet, House of Marmalade is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back!

The owner and baker was friendly and quite helpful. The treats are delicious. I am not a huge macaron fan but I loved the smores ones. The pan au chocolate is delicious and the smores tart divine. The madalines were a bit too lemon flavored for me. Definitely worth a try. The prices were a touch high for me, and the macarons can not be bought as singles but otherwise very good.

Unfortunately, the taste didn't match the presentation for me. The pastries didn't seem very fresh, the crust was overly thick, and the texture was a bit off. I also tried the pot pie, which wasn't enjoyable -- the onion smell was overpowering and took away from the flavor. This may just be my personal experience and my own palette, but I was disappointed given how promising everything looked.

It was a long wait in line. Towards the end of their limited hours, I was pleased that they still had a pretty good selection. They sold out of some things, but I found a robust selection of pastries and a loaf of bread as well, albeit one too big for their slices. With macarons and chocolate on sale as well, they had a lot worth coming for. The cake slices were as rich and smooth as one hopes for a French bakery, but several other pastries met with aplomb as well. I struggled to locate a high-end bakery in this geographic area, but did not regret having come to this one at all.

The vibe was incredible too. Felt like you were in a French pastry shop. Outstanding place. We got a chocolatine, almond croissant, and apple turnover. All three were amazing, but the almond croissant was perfect.

The reason for the three stars is because the service was not great at all. The girl behind the counter seemed confused and she was rude and hesitant to help me even though I was the only person in the store at the time. Also the treats selection could have been better.
