MANNNN THE PASSION FRUIT TARTE WAS SO SO GOOD I THINK ABOUT IT OFTEN. I've never heard of anyone else selling the passion fruit tarte, but it was definitely the best thing that I got. 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! Inside the display cases were beautiful, the only downside is there isn't much room and you can't really sit in there! Service was good, very welcoming! I'm definitely coming back for the passion fruit tart, the other tarts do not compare and i'm so so serious about it ..... read more

I honestly haven't had anything here that isn't good. Even if the item doesn't initially make me think, "Oh! This is great"! I ultimately still appreciate the experience. I like how the items they make are different than other businesses and everytime I go, I'm compelled to try something new. The presentation of their products alone keep me going back time and time again. They'll forever have a customer in me because each item is unique. I tried the cinnamon roll on this visit and returned to the car to eat it while I waited for my nephew to finish getting his haircut a few doors down. Before I started eating it vowed I would only eat half so I could try the other half heated up. The breading didn't taste like a regular dough, but was a little sour? I'd have to call and verify for sure. The roll also wasn't overly sweet. The icing was everything! I stuck to my vow and made sure to only eat half. I immediately heated the other half in the microwave for ten seconds and it definitely tasted better. The icing was still everything! I cant wait until the next visit. I think I'm going to try their red velvet cake. read more

Ordered few birthday cakes from them and each one was spectacular! From moist cake to fluffy filing and icing everything was amazing but their cake decorations are out of this world! Staff is always friendly and ready to accommodate! Their shop is small, just a desk with register and cake/dessert displays. I wish that they have a few tables so you can get a dessert and coffee to enjoy there but what count is that their cakes are delicious. They are a must stop for a birthday cake for me and my family! Whenever I'm picking up my cake order I always get a couple of their desserts that are available in the refrigerated case. read more

Hands down, Sugar & Salt is a quality bakery. Their cakes are fantastic but we fell in love with their Hummingbird cake so much that we ordered one to bring for family holiday meal in Pennsylvania. It was a huge hit and look at how beautiful this cake is! Very easy to order over the phone and quick, easy and friendly pick up. There's no place to sit in this bakery, so definitely a place to grab a slice to go or to order custom cakes. But trust and believe, their cakes taste as beautiful as they look! Highly recommend! read more

I can't believe I had never heard of this place before? It was amazing! We walked inside the small shop and the sweet, freshly baked, cozy aroma hit us in the face. The display trays had soo many unique and tempting dessert options (cakes, pastries, cookies) and they even have GF cookie options! Yummy-sounding options like Butterscotch Cake lined the shelves. Service was no-fuss, with the one person behind the counter explaining all the flavors and options very knowledgeably. We got the Turtle Cheesecake and Butterscotch Cake to take home. The butterscotch was good but very very sweet. I probably wouldn't get this again, but was glad I tried it. The cheesecake was one of the BEST cheesecakes I've had in a while! Superrr thick, creamy, not overly sweet, with silky chocolate and crunchy walnut toppings, it was the perfect bite. Looking forward already to my next visit - will likely try a fruity cake and get the cheesecake again! read more

Random stop after a nice long walk down to the James River. Needed a quick snack before heading to brunch and OMG not what I had in mind but how excited my inner sweet tooth demon was. This is a sweet tooth fanatics heaven and I took advantage with getting 2 fruit tarts (Key Lime & forget the other), oatmeal raisin cook and 2 mini frosted donuts. Pretty quick checkout and staff very friendly too. Literally I wanted everything but talked myself into these purchases. I could have literally ordered 4-5 other things easily lol. This is a really awesome spot and they apparently make custom CIRCULAR cakes only lol. I overheard a phone conversation with someone asking for a square cake lol.

I am home visiting my parents from California, and ended up staying for my birthday (which wasn't originally the plan!). I decided to get a cake last minute, and I found S&S RVA --where else? On Yelp :) As everyone said, Sara was amazing to work with. I sent her a detailed email with some elements I wanted to include: a letter cake with my 'A' initial; an orange, pink, and yellow design aesthetic; and icing florals and succulents since I'm obsessed with flowers and plants. She designed an absolutely gorgeous cake my parents and brother ooh'd and aah'd over. I absolutely loved it! Unfortunately, the cake + icing combination I chose wasn't as delicious as I'd hoped it would be. The actual cake, a vanilla sponge cake, tasted incredible; unfortunately, the icing threw the whole cake off. I requested the Italian buttercream rather than the default/American style buttercream, and it was a colossal mistake. I ordered the Italian version of buttercream because it's generally a milder sweetness, which I prefer because I don't like super sweet desserts. However, this particular Italian it wasn't quite sweet enough for my taste and it was a little more oily than I like as well. My parents didn't like it at all. My brother has Celiac, so he couldn't partake or weigh in. So sadly, three of us had a small piece of this relatively gigantic cake, and no one even finished their slice, let alone the rest of the cake. I was bummed to have spent the $$ on a custom cake that I didn't get to eat. However, I loved the design, so that's something. If I had it to do over, I'd definitely order another icing, which I think would have greatly improved the situation. I'd definitely still recommend this bakery because the customer service was incredible and Sara and her staff do beautiful design. I do encourage tasting before ordering so you don't end up making my mistake. read more

Found this cute little bakery one day I decided to explore RVA over break. I have to say I fell in LOVE! They are small in space and are only good for pick-up, but they make up for it by being big on flavor! I ordered an Oreo cake slice and my cousin ordered the lemon berry. Both cakes had their respective fillings inside, and both cakes held up on their own. This is a bakery that takes orders as well as one that allows you to pop-in for a quick sweet fix. They have a variety from cinnamon rolls, tarts to cookies and cakes. I also like the fact that they are reasonably priced! They're in the Historic Jackson Ward area with smaller restaurants around which makes it cool if you're on foot because you can stop for dessert after a meal! That's what we did! read more

This is a hidden gem located in a historic neighborhood.

Lastly, the only "con" I have about this bakery are the hours...it is only opened til 4 so it's not ideal if you want something sweet after work. read more

The cakes were a hit and served their purposes to describe two women on their birthday. The cupcakes were cute and dainty.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. 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. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

It was brusque but mostly not overtly rude, perhaps they were just busy getting ready. I ordered the charcuterie board ($28), a chicken salad croissant sandwich ($14), and the Lavender Bees Knees ($8). The drink was very pretty but not super flavorful. The chicken salad was good enough, but I think the croissant alone would have been wonderful. The charcuterie board had a substitutions I was not made aware of upon ordering (no pepper jelly, blanched almonds instead of candied pecans, and a green onion mixed type goat cheese with bacon in it instead of maple bacon goat cheese). 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.

Still pretty good flavor. I liked the Jeff roll with tuna, it seemed like a pretty thin topping and had a nice little kick from the jalapeño. The Yume roll had good flavor but it felt like the filling with the crunch was a lot of the filling which made it a little bland, nice crunch and simple flavors.
