It should be considered a crime to serve this must tasty treats in one spot. I went in for a coffee but left with an entire box of pastries. I ordered several of the savory scones and a couple of cookies and loved them all. Both the cookies and scones vary by flavor but we had a sweet potato scone and a lavender flavored scone. I would not normally have ordered a lavender flavored anything but my wife loves it and I am glad she does. I tried it and struggled to leave any for her. I at almost the entire scone. The sweet potato was equally as good but with a much milder flavor. And the cookies....out of this world! The servers were friendly but nothing over the top. They seemed to be a cog in the machine and churning out orders. Overall, a cute little, vegan, spot with really good pastries and coffee. Head caution on the milkshakes if you are not use to vegan milkshakes. While they taste good, at least to me, they are wildly different than an cows milk milkshake. Alot of people are shocked by this and turned off by the flavor. read more

Came in during the watermelon fest to get some coffee. I got an iced "Beas latte". It was good but nothing to go crazy about. You could tell they use good coffee. We also got the watermelon cheesecake, the watermelon key lime pie, a watermelon cookie, and the banana chocolate chip cookie. They had all the chairs up so we couldn't sit down. The watermelon cookie was an amazing texture, I just wish it had a little more watermelon taste. The banana cookie was really good. The key lime pie was yummy and we're were struggling to eat while standing so I put the cheesecake in my bag for later. Unfortunately it melted by the time I got to my car so I didn't get to try it. read more

I came here on a weekend and I saw so many delicious treats for sale. They had some that were from the day prior that they offer a 50% discount which was nice!

My boyfriend and I have been fans of Minglewood for three years. All the employees have always been wonderful and it's always a lovely and accepting experience every time we visit. I decided to get my boyfriend a cake for his birthday this year and it was my first time placing an online order. The process was super easy and covered all the bases. I ordered a stump cake and I wanted to leave the decorating up to the bakers. They exceeded my expectations and designed a beautiful cake. Well worth the money and of course it was delicious. Thank you to everyone at Minglewood we always feel so well taken care of :) read more

We were in Richmond for 2 days, and after stopping by the first day, we immediately knew we would change our plans to return the next day as well- that should tell you all you need to know! But if it doesn't- WOW! Best vegan pastries I've ever had, and I say that as a vegan of 10 years. We got the chocolate & pb cake which was incredible. It was moist, flavorful and not too heavy or too sweet. The cosmic brownie was a winner, and I was so happy to eat a chocolate croissant for the first time since going vegan! We tried a cupcake which was light and airy, with delicious frosting that wasn't too sweet, which I have found common with vegan sweets made by non vegan bakeries. We also tried the breakfast sandwich and burrito, which were so delicious and flavorful. My friend said she wouldn't have known any of it was vegan. We also picked up some cute stickers, and browsed their vegan snack shelf. The staff was so kind, and carefully packed up 4 pastries for me to bring back to California. They made it safely through 2 flights and multiple car rides! I love how this is a community hub, with meals you can purchase to pay it forward, a bulletin board of announcements, free library, and inclusive signage. We felt so welcome here, and I loved the bathroom stickers and framed review on the wall. There is NOTHING better than supporting a fully vegan business who fights for what is right. I will be dreaming of Minglewood's goodies until the next time I find myself out in Richmond. Thank you for ALL you do! read more

Delicious food, kind staff, clean bathroom & awesome front porch. I try to stop by whenever I visit RVA. My only complaint is more of a that Minglewood had been here in 1994, when I lived a few blocks away, and would have been able to visit all the time! A+ read more

I really enjoyed trying Minglewood Bakery for the first time! I have both a dairy free and gluten allergy and it was so exciting to find a bakery where everything is 100% vegan and has many options that are gluten free too. I went on a rainy Saturday morning and thought it was so cool that they had a 10% off rainy day discount. I was tempted to get so many things but ended up opting for the Gluten Free Vegan Coffee Cake made with almond flour, it was delicious!!! You would never know it was dairy and gluten free. My boyfriend got the cheddar biscuits and loved it as well. They also have ice cream, cakes, cookies, scones, coffee, and so much more! I love that they also have vegan candy and chocolate as well as a freezer section with take and bake vegan and some gluten free options. They had frozen croissants, biscuits, breakfast sandwiches and more. The safe was super sweet and helpful too when ordering. I loved how homey and charming all the decor was and the cute wooden booths where you can sit and enjoy. The bakery is in Carytown so you are limited to street parking and pay to park parking decks. But we had no issue finding parking on a rainy Saturday morning. I highly recommend you give this bakery a try regardless of if you have food allergies or not! read more

I don't care what side of the political line you are on, don't post rude political comments and signage in your front window! If you do, don't be surprised when people respond with the same attitude and walk out! Upon stating that the sign was offensive, she shrieked to our backs as we left, "do not come back!" Ummm. No problem. Let me also add that nothing in the bakery cases looked all that great? Mostly just a potpourri of cookies, and a few short cakes, all ready to be served by "black masked," staff behind the case. Not at all friendly, to say the least. Suffice it to say, we walked out and went next door to a competitor. read more

Walking into the store during October feels like a scene from Halloween town on Disney Channel. It truly feels like Autumn is here. There were a good amount of different baked items to choose from in which I ordered a pumpkin oat sandwich. The cream inside was delicious; it was not overly sweet which I do not like, but I didn't have that problem. The pumpkin flavor added a razzle dazzle and I love pumpkin, so this is right up my alley. It's definitely a must order during the fall. I also ordered a hot apple cider drink because I can't have anything with caffeine so I opted for something that still reminds me of the Fall and it was absolutely delicious. It was a great choice. I didn't think I would like it hot but it's now probably going to become a common order for me during this season. read more

Came here a while ago and was good service. But when I came today I ordered a simple coffee order (iced latte with oat milk) but didn't get it bc girls were chatting. The girl before me got her order but I waited for a long time for the girls conversation to finish. Didn't get my order. Service is normally great but maybe it was a busy hour or something. read more

All VEGAN bakery with kindly staff, good vibes & decor, and an amazing selection of vegan confections. There's a glass dessert case of pies, scones, cakes, as well as a refrigerator stocked with grab&go lunch items and chilled desserts. We tried key lime pie, lemon cream pie, banana pudding and (my favorite) tiramisu. Everything was insanely delicious. This place is a treasure trove of VEGAN DELIGHTS you have been missing.

Just an update that Minglewood is perfection!! We got 12 red velvet cupcakes with biscoff frosting at a recent family get together with many strict "anti vegans" - and everyone was obsessed with the cupcakes. Their latte flavors are so good-my favorites are pistachio and maple pancake. The spinach artichoke pastry is another of my go-tos. Truly, don't miss out!! read more

Two words: Chick'n salad. As someone who used to love chicken salad back in the day, Minglewood's chick'n salad fills the void! It's so tasty, unique, and delightful. I meant to make chick'n salad sandwiches with the portion I ordered, alas, I just ate it straight out of the container instead. It was that good! I also ordered a snickerdoodle cookie from them, which was also pretty good, but the chick'n salad is what will keep me going back. read more

I purchased a chocolate frosted chocolate cake for my husband and mother's birthday party. First off, as a long time vegetarian and vegan, it is hard to find delicious vegan baked goods. All at the party declared this to be the best vegan cake they had ever had. The cake was nice and moist and the frosting was creamy. I highly recommend this bakery for all your bday cake needs, vegan or not. read more

This place is AWESOME!! I had to pause and confirm everything was vegan because there was so much selection! I had a moz-herb biscuit and a savory spinach-artichoke turnover, and they were so good. I wish I could have one (or both) right now as I write this. The pasty was so flaky and light, and the filling had so much flavor! One of my friends who accompanied me is gluten free, and I was blown away by how dense and moist the scone he ordered was. My other friend declared her scone to best the best she's ever had anywhere - vegan, gluten free, or not. They have so many things there to try, and I am positive it will be one of my first stops when I am back in town. read more

Update: tried something new today for the V72 week. I stopped by and got the last Tres Leche cake they had and I have to say this was my lucky shot because it was so good! I didn't know if I would like it but I took a chance, I can't say it was exactly like tres leche, but it was equally as good regardless. It was so moist and topped off with some sort of icing/creamy topping that set it off perfectly. We also got banana pudding and cheddar biscuits to go. I tasted that pudding and it was so good I bought a second one! I have never gotten anything at Minglewood that I didn't like, but... this was falls in the top 5 of things I liked the most. Note: most of the shelves were empty because it was close to closing, so make note of the time before going so you don't miss out on anything. read more

I was so excited to try this place out! I'm such a sucker for cupcakes and therefore, a cupcake snob. Then, I get there and realize they had WAY more than I expected. Cookies, scones, croissants, sandwiches, wraps, cheeses, and more! They also sold fun RVA swag, stickers, stationary cards, and other local/handmade goods. As much as I love cupcakes, these were definitely not my favorite. The vanilla strawberry tasted neither like vanilla nor strawberry. The cake bottom was pretty dry, and the icing tasted bland and flavorless - almost like plain low fat whipped cream. The cookies, however, were amazing! The s'mores and chocolate chip were SO good. Gooey, soft, and delicious. The location can't be beat. Right on Cary and Freeman two doors down from Mary Angela's in a cute brick building with outdoor patio seating and tables inside. The service was also wonderful. I'll be returning to try other items aside from the cupcakes. read more

This is a great spot for all your dessert needs. I actually had no idea this bakery catered to people with food allergies and loved everything I ordered not knowing it was all allergen free! When a friend told me (much later) that it's a specialty bakery, I was so surprised! I then proceeded to order my daughter's birthday cake from here bc she has a friend who is dairy and gluten intolerant. The cake (chocolate) was delicious and loved by all the kids at the party. It was also decorated soooooo beautifully! Love this place! read more

I love this place SOOOO MUCH! I come every weekend. I've loved every single thing I've bought. Their cream cakes are amazing :)

I never knew a place like this existed and I am so glad I discovered it. I often find it difficult to find fun and innovative desserts for my girlfriend, who is dairy-free and can't eat 90% of the stuff traditional birthday celebrations partake in. However, you walk in here - and EVERYTHING is fair game. What's even more impressive is how multidimensional it all is - not just desserts, but sandwiches, side dishes - and ones that I would never expect them to be able to deliver as dairy-free, they find a way. So creative, cute interior - and their hours are solid as a working person who never manages to make it to bakeries when they're open. Service was great too - the workers all are super helpful in choosing various things. Gotta come during their happy hour too! read more

Got the banana chip scone and the apple cider for 7$ and some change. Great price! I asked if the scone was dry and It was pleasantly softer in the insider with an outside crisp. I loved it a lot! Solid apple cider! I didn't know it was vegan but 11/10 that's even better! Workers were so nice and super helpful! The shop was cute inside too! read more

I've been a loyal supporter of Minglewood Bakeshop since they opened -- recommending them to everyone, vegan and non-vegan alike, and ordering all our birthday cakes there year after year. All of our out-of-town guests are treated to Minglewood by us as well. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I won't be returning. I stopped by to place a large order for my grandmother, who's recovering from knee surgery, and at checkout, was suddenly told orders over $100 have a mandatory 20% gratuity. No signage, no heads-up -- nothing. When I asked how much the gratuity would add to my bill the cashier guessed wrong, then asked a coworker who threw out a random total way over what it should've been and I wasn't shown a final subtotal before the charge was applied. I asked for my receipt and surprise -- my subtotal was $95. With tax, $105.36. Yet they charged me $21.07 and listed it as a "tip." Not only was the gratuity applied to my post-tax total (which is not standard practice), but it was listed as a "TIP" rather than a service charge, which are two different things legally and for wage reporting. I have no issue tipping or with automatic gratuities when policies are clearly posted and fairly applied. But the lack of transparency, poor math, and mishandling by the staff left a bad taste in my mouth. Richmond has plenty of great vegan bakeries, and while Minglewood was one of my favorites, I'll be taking my business elsewhere moving forward. read more

I LOVE Minglewood Bake Shop! This bakery is truly a hidden gem and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area. Everything at Minglewood is vegan. They make a point to label every ingredient in their items. It's so refreshing to find a bakery that truly cares about catering to all dietary needs. I appreciate that their drinks come with your choice of a plant-based milks and what's even better is that they don't charge extra for it. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I really appreciate this. They also have a good amount gluten free options here too. They have both sweet and savory things to pick from. One of the standout items on their menu is the pistachio chocolate cupcake. Let me tell you, it was out of this world delicious! The cupcake was incredibly moist and had just the right amount of chocolate and pistachio flavors. You couldn't even tell it was vegan. I would also recommend getting their spinach artichoke pastry. For something with no butter, it's so buttery, flakey, and tasty. I'm blanking on the name, but they have a BBQ option (that I think is made from jackfruit) that is very yummy too. All my experiences at Minglewood Bake Shop have been top-notch. The friendly staff and delicious treats make this bakery a must-visit. Don't miss out on the pistachio chocolate cupcake - you won't regret it! 5 stars all the way! read more

All vegan! Many gluten free options. So so good. Cutest area of RVA. I always like to get the soft serve because it's rare to find vegan, and especially rare to find vegan sprinkles! It's in a walkable part of town with lots of charm. Definitely check out the snacks for sale up front (candy bars galore) and the vegan stickers! Great service, knowledgeable. read more

Lovely vegan coffee shop in Carytown. Love it so much that I have brought loved ones to introduce them to this gem. It's small and tables are typically full, but I would go here anytime because of the yummy coffee and baked goods. Customers are generally kind and willing to share unused seats at tables. The espresso drinks are smooth and delicious, with several non-dairy options. The baked goods are delicious, especially the blueberry lemon scone. There is a microwave in the seating area if you want to heat your treat. This is a space for everyone, even non-vegans. Recommendation for the business owner: Please fix the front door as it slams loudly and is distracting. read more

I love love love this bakery! All of the food we tried was delicious. The pastries were so flaky and the filling was creative (Mac'n cheez!).

Been doing a lot of cheating on my OG coffee shop but honestly.. it's been worth it as I've found so many that I love. Minglewood being one of them! Plenty of coffee flavoring options which keeps it fun, but had to get a lavender vanilla latte for my first go round and it was delicious. They have plenty of pastries and snacks that they can heat up for you which I like and I think everything's vegan?! I decided to try their chili Mac pastry and while I didn't know what to expect after a couple of mins in the air fryer it was a nice little dairy free treat! I also liked that they have a 'happy hour' every day on select goods so you can come in and stock up on your favs for half the price. I definitely want to come back and try their desserts! read more

One of the best vegan bakeries that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Yes, they do have wonderful baked items but they also have vegan take away items too. From Chik'n Salad to various biscuits and wraps! It was a busy mid-day lunch stop for me. The service was good. They were a bit overwhelmed with orders but everyone kept their cool and made sure orders were filled as quickly as possible. You can eat outside on the front porch or indoors. The indoor seating area is limited as well as the front porch too. One thing of note, parking on Cary Street on a good day can be tricky. Inside tip, head down the alley behind the shop, it has its own parking lot! read more

Fabulous allergen friendly place! The coffee is smooth and rich. The GF cookies are divine. Staff is friendly and the space is cozy.

I was looking for a good coffee place and my new stylist Colleen from Flirt Salon mentioned this place...and here I am! Another good location, across from the Dhe Krazy store (I have a doggy so that's a point of reference for me, lol). The inside is surprisingly spacious but they have outdoor seating too and...I saw a box of doggy treats and saw they are dog friendly! I also loved seeing the bunny statue at the fireplace.",lol. I do have a bunny also so, I'm partial to any business that has a bunny in artwork. Lol. Anyway, I tried the ginger doodle cookie and is a big, fluffy and just a bit chewy. Really nice. Also had a good cappuccino so now I feel good for the rest of the day! Lol. Prices are fair too. Oh and they also bake these gorgeous petit cakes. read more
