I pulled up on a Thursday morning at 10 to get treats for work; parked on the street which was pretty easy and was blown away immediately. The smell of coffee; the beautiful plants up front; the fact that it was way more than a bakery and then there was the holy grail of baked goods. I was in awe for about 5 minutes. How does one go on and even decide they want one item? The establishment was clean; their customer service was great and I even saw some local gems in there for purchase and the cutest patio. Outside there was the coolest vending machine for when you want a treat and may be in a hurry or the bakery is closed. Hands down the coolest thing I've seen in a while. The oatmeal cream pie needs a review on its own. This soft huge cookie is one for the books. With hints of cinnamon and toffee in the cookie and then the best cream cheese butter cream flavored filling. I'll literally never be able to eat a regular oatmeal cream pie again. I'm new to shydigz but they have a customer for life. I'll be there Thursday for the special!

I didn't have any trouble finding a parking spot and the employees were really helpful despite it being busy. The shop is clean & bright with plenty of tables.

Not only was it so beautiful but it was filled with fresh strawberry filling and SO good. Will be back to try the other flavors.

I LOVE Pearl's Bake Shoppe. I've been eyeing their cupcakes for a while before finally deciding to…read moretry them, but I'm so glad that I did! I've come back more than a few times to try different cupcakes from this bakery, and it has not disappointed! They always have a line when I stop by of people picking up bakery orders or stopping by to grab sweet treats. They have all kinds of pastries and bakery items: cakes, cake pops, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pies, macarons, pop tarts and even packaged drinks. I've gotten a few different cupcakes from them. My favorites have been the peaches and cream, top hat cupcake, pistachio raspberry and strawberry vanilla. Their tiramisu cupcake, margarita cupcake and the key lime cupcakes all actually tasted so much like the namesakes! Their cupcakes are mostly perfectly balanced sweetness: I haven't had anything that was too sweet. Their cakes look so beautifully decorated, but I haven't tried any. They look so good though! Everything in there are so aesthetically pleasing, and if the cupcakes are anything to go by, I'd say flavor wise, the other items would meet expectations! Definitely one of my favorite places in Richmond to get myself a treat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Food: the ice cream was very creamy and delicious! I loved the special flavors they had! And they change the flavors every now and then! So it's fun to try them all. Bathroom: there is no restroom.

My friend could not tell a difference in her scoops either. Staff was super nice & were more than happy to entertain multiple samples. Prices were great for being allergy friendly.

But in terms of ice cream... honestly you're just as good going to someplace like Dairy Queen. $20? For a milkshake and two scoops? That's just insulting...

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!
