I've just today had a terrible experience in this store. A store I've shopped in many times in the…read moreyears I've lived here. I bought this tin of Cavendish and Harvey Sour Cherry Drops last week. And just like you when I got home I put the tin up and tossed the receipt. When I opened the tin yesterday I found the seal had been punctured. I pulled the seal and the Drops had all melted together as you can see in the pictures. My wife, ever concerned for my well-being, advised me to not eat the candy. So I returned to the store, ready for an exchange or refund. They REFUSED to do either. Oh they had their reasons, number 1 among them was I didn't have my receipt. The store manager could not reach the owner whom I offered to talk to, or I could come back some other time and maybe catch up with the owner. So I won't tell you not to shop there, times are difficult for everyone these days. But I will not shop there again and when I need a lemon drop for a long car ride I'll make do with a bag of them from Walmart or CVS. There just sugar and flavor after all. But I will suggest that you look closely at every purchase you might make from that store and don't toss your receipt until you do. Or maybe they'll treat you better than they treated me. Or maybe not. You won't know until it's too late, It's a crap shoot. No place to post the pictures, but it's ycuky

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 sampled the fudge that was out on the way out and it was very good.

I love the decor, and the seating area feels appropriate for the space. It still has that community, shared vibe that I remember. The baristas are so nice and answered my questions without hesitation, even with a line. We tried the turmeric ginger latte, both caffeinated and decaf, and wow, really good. As always, their pastries are amazing. I also really appreciated that they asked if the almond horn was for a gluten allergy so they could change their gloves. It's the little things!

My parents and I stumbled upon this bakery while exploring Richmond this morning, and I was…read moreimmediately impressed by the diversity of options they have. One of the things I instantly noticed on the menu was their vegan breakfast sandwich with a homemade bean-based sausage patty. I got myself an egg and cheese sandwich on a buttermilk biscuit (delicious, by the way) with pepper jack cheese, veggies (tomato, lettuce, and avocado), and for a dollar extra, one of their vegan breakfast sausage patties. I was immediately impressed by how flavorful the patty was- you get a crispness upon the first bite and then the creaminess of the beans afterwards. It was absolutely incredible in a way I can't even describe. I also got the Thai iced coffee, which tasted as sweet as a typical Thai iced tea, yet in coffee form. I may only be spending a few days in Richmond, but I'm absolutely coming back next time I'm here to try more things. DIVINE! The woman behind the counter was super sweet too. If you're in Richmond, run here!

I've been given roast beef and told it was ham by another staff member saying "ham turns brown when you heat it up." I've witnessed gossip about customers at the register, arguments between staff while I'm waiting for my food and being told they don't have an item I'm looking directly at. Maybe it's the age of the staff members or the lack of overall experience, knowledge, consideration...pick one, but the service alone keeps me from coming back to this quaint, local bakery.

Everything was savory and light, cooked to perfection. We were both stuffed as we walked away from this gem!

No matter where I purchase them, the croughnuts are always served hot, buttery, and fresh. The exterior has that perfect croissant flake and crust while the inside is soft and pillowy. My favorite is the vanilla glaze although I haven't tried a flavor I disliked. I've had other croughnuts before, even the acclaimed Dominique Ansel's, but JC's are the best, hands down.
