    1/2 Dozen Mini Cupcakes
    Indira M.

    This bakery has improved since my initial review. The cupcakes don't always taste as if they're fresh or made on the same day of purchase. Biggest issue is the inconsistency, but they have much better frosting than most bakeries in rva.

    Mo's did an order of cupcakes for my wedding and we absolutely loved them. We did the Tres Leches and Blue Velvet, both did not disappoint. The lady I spoke with made ordering and pick up such an easy process. We will definitely be placing another order in the future!

    So cute and delicious! Double chocolate mini cupcake was my favorite, and had a delightful chocolate ganache surprise on the inside! Lemon mini cupcake was also fabulous (and also, lemon surprise inside)! Carrot cake mini also very good!

    This was my first time ordering from this place. I just love cupcakes and sweets! I ordered the mini cupcakes ( half dozen). Presentation was nice. Cute little brown box with pink writing. My favorite cupcake was the carrot cake. However I received old cupcakes. The outsides of all cupcakes were hard and crispy, the insides were soft. I want my entire cupcake to be soft as a sweet dessert should be.

    This place is GREAT!!! Sweet, fresh and moist. lol. Great description, right? Staff is excellent and the place is clean. Banana pudding cupcake is my favorite. Apple too lol. Will never go to another bakery especially after we have found perfection.

    Mo's Sweet Minis is located right on Broad St next to Dunkin. Every time I go in here, it is empty, not sure why because the cupcakes are delicious. My favorite is the red velvet. The only worker on the clock is probably bored out of their mind and is super friendly whenever we come in. Cute little place, check it out.

    A cute bakery that- I think- changes their cupcakes and cookies flavor from time to time. I was lucky to try their mocha shortbread cookie-which was sold out- and red velvet cupcake. I like this place because the sweetness is not overwhelming. It is just right amount of sweetness. The owner was very nice and generous too. She gave us the mocha shortbread to try. It was still warm and it was heavenly good!!! I def. will come back. fyi they have mini cup cakes too!

    I love when I stumble across little pieces of heaven! I was literally just going to grab some coffee and saw this shop. I went in because it carried the name of my daughter "Mo". (Corny, I know) But I loved everything in this place. It's such a cute place and the desserts are Devine! I love the variety of cupcakes, cookies and macaroons! Yes! I said Macaroons!!! The flavors change and are updated on the daily chalk boards. Every flavor cupcake was delicious! The cookies are true to flavor but not over done with flavor.

    I love that they have mini cupcakes as well as regular sized ones! I have read reviews and have wanted to visit this place for a while, and I'm so glad I finally did. Very cute and small bakery with a clean and friendly environment. As I walked in, I was greeted by a sweet lady (who I presume to be Mo) as well as the great display of cupcakes. Prices were clearly posted on the wall and the owner was very patient with me. I ended up getting a dozen mini cupcakes. I tried the carrot cake mini cupcake, and it was very delicious and moist - which is great because of is size! I will definitely be back and recommend anyone who passes by the small shop to drop by.

    Easy to the eye

    I'm going to start off by saying that I am a cupcake connoisseur and I'm usually excited when I find a new cupcakery. I decided to try this shop in particular because of their groupon offer. I decided to stop in during lunch to bring cupcakes to the office for a cupcake tasting just as we've done in the past with doughnuts and other delectable goods. We were all disgusted with the cupcakes. They were very appealing to the eye but our tastebuds were not fond of the flavors of an old refrigerator. The cupcakes were not fresh and taste as if they were in a fridge without baking soda (yuck!). Needless to say, the entire group was disappointed and I now know why I ignored this place during my last two years at VCU.

    A dozen of minis. Alright taste for the price.

Free off street parking is plentiful. There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.

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.

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!

We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist.

They did add little pickles and the presentation was pretty enough, but no flowers like the owner posted photo on here. The meat was pretty thick which could be a positive or negative depending on personal preference, and the meat was decent quality. The fig jam was very good. The waitress who was helping the other tables had brought my food out but didn't check on me at all. I had to go up to the counter again to order a cinnamon roll ($8) and a coffee ($5) which she brought out to me. The coffee was nice and dark (Cameo blend) and incredibly hot. The cinnamon roll was okay, not very much cinnamon flavor but it was delicate and the icing was decent. The interior was pretty and it was a good spot to read a book and spend a morning.
