Sugar Plum Bakery - Outside - Bakeries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Was visiting my family in the area and wanted a nice cake for New Year's Day. Found Sugar Plum Bakery and wanted to give it a shot. My family voted for their favorite of the specialty cakes and we came up with the Trazom. It certainly wasn't unanimous because there are so many great choices. I ordered it and it was ready 24 hours later, pretty impressive during the holidays. I picked it up at a large, clean, and bright shop. The woman behind the counter was friendly and professional. The cake was moist and delicious, a true show stopper to complete our family dinner! read more

What is there not to love about Sugar Plum Bakery? I was first introduced by a friend who lives nearby the bakery. My absolute favorite things are the scones and cookies. My friend will always bring me a box (or two!) when she comes to visit because scones remind me of my hometown (in U.K.). I hate living so far away because I really need to get my hands on some of their cake. They all look incredible! Service is always great; the folks who work here are kind and helpful, but above all, my favorite thing about Sugar Plum Bakery is their dedication to serve the needs of individuals with disabilities. They have a mission to train, educate, and provide opportunities for them. As an educator, I'm all for backing local businesses that give back to their community. Can't wait to come back and try some new baked goods. Highly recommend! read more

I work in a special education classroom and came across this bakery after a discussion with my fellow staff. I did a quick google search and loved what Sugar Plum was all about. Upon arrival everyone was attentive and kind. They had about an hour before closing, but they still gave it their all to get the job done. Everything is homemade The cake is delicious. I loved all the variety of products offered. I purchased cookies, cakes, and a few other dessert items. My favorite was the selection of cookies they had. Their cookies were delicious. My favorite cookie was their sugar cookie. A sugar cookie is simple, but they did a great job and I loved the crystalized sugar on the cookies. The location is hard to get to at the moment because of the construction, but that is no fault to them. They are managing very well and I am sure once the project is complete it will look great. Parking is ample, and they have an out door area to sit and enjoy your treats and beverages. A great set up really. The color choice of purple is nice and inviting. Overall I just can not get by their mission. It is near and dear to my heart and my heart constantly screams for inclusion of all. **** FROM THEIR WEBSITE: Mission Statement: The mission of Sugar Plum Bakery is to serve the needs of persons with disabilities through employment, education and training. Sugar Plum Bakery will promote the integration of persons with developmental disabilities into society by helping them become independent and evolve into working contributing members of our communities.

Ok so this place has this Apple roll up donut that is smothered in sugar and it's to die for. I'm not even kidding. The phenomenal employees do an outstanding job with their creations. My neighbor recommended this place to us. She will fight someone over their jelly donuts, it's that serious. If you do have a favorite, you may want to call ahead, they sell out so early of some items. Prices are VERY reasonable. read more

Our family loves Sugar Plum, and its commitment to hiring differently abled people. The ordering process is pretty simple, and they are consistent in delivering delicious goods. Our go-to is their Mozart cake, a yellow cake with a Bavarian cream and raspberry filling, topped with a ganache dripped frosting. Need I say more? Go get some goodies at Sugar Plum! read more

Sugar plums fritters are so good. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I finally made it in on a Saturday. The fritters are normally gone so you have to come early. I don't know why I'm telling everyone about my favorite dessert there. Lol. But I did. Your welcome!! We also got gingerbread cookies, a pineapple upside down cake, and a raspberry cake. The raspberry cake was a little dry but everything was pretty good. They have a lot of options. Donuts, cakes, cookies, drinks, brownies, and more. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Check them out!! read more

An adorable bakery with a good cause! I'm in absolute adoration of this place. The have such wonderful sweets here and they employ disabled people. That really makes my heart so happy! They are located on Laskin road where there is a ton of construction going on. That's the only drawback. Otherwise it's sweetness and delight. They serve coffee and other beverages as well. The sea of sweets displayed is enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. Lemon bars, lime bars, cookies, cakes... For about $4 per bar, I got a few sweets and a nice pumpkin chai for a total of less than $20. Little pricey but so worth it! read more

Excellent!!!! Highly recommend! Always quality pastries and cakes! I love that it is a non-profit too!

After a wonderful lunch at Wasserhund Brewery, my girlfriend and I came here to check out this bakery for some desserts to bring home to Newport News with us. But in actuality, this here is more than just a bakery. They are a non-profit organization that gives educational, employment and training opportunities to individuals with disabillities going back to the 1980s. Definitely paying it forward. We did end up picking out some desserts. For my girlfriend, she picked a glazed donut and cream cheese danish. I chose a cookie monster (a cookie sandwich with buttercream in the middle) and 2 cookies (triple chocolate and white chocolate cranberry). All desserts were good and honestly, not too sweet. The cookie monster could've had more buttercream between both cookies but it was good nonetheless. Not a bad 1st time visit. Buying goods which is for a great cause is a huge plus in my book. The next time we're in the area, we'll stop by again :) read more

No stars if I could. My mom is turning 50 and The first picture is what we had showed them as the inspiration for the cake on Wednesday. When we come and pick it up Friday afternoon (the day of her birthday) this is what we get-some thing that doesn't even look like the photo and honestly looks like it was done in 10 minutes. This was $80 down the drain. Actual We are honestly so disappointed as the cupcakes and other desserts. We've tried their taste, so good, but the presentation is just embarrassing and we feel as though we can't even use the cake now. Horrified, to be quite honest and ashamed. Edited to update: Received a phone call from the manager Leah, who had immediately been combative/defensive about the situation. She was very unapologetic about the whole thing, and continuously repeated that we "didn't pay for the outside of the cake. Nor did we pay for the writing." This does not justify the fact that we were too embarrassed to even bring the cake to the event it was intended for. Extremely unprofessional overall. It appears that Leah had simply called only to be defensive. It really is a shame because the Specialty cakes looked so beautiful so it is absolutely shocking that we received a cake in this state. Prior to speaking to Leah, I had spoken to Mackenzie, who honestly was much nicer overall. read more

I purchased a 10 inch round specialty birthday cake. I told them the type of design I wanted and they were able to come through. The final product received many compliments. The cake was very moist, especially since it was served the next day after I picked it up since they're not open on Sundays. I've used them previously for other events so I definitely would recommend and would use again. read more

Sugar Plum Bakery - Mozart Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Oh MY!!! Delicious Heavenly baked goods. And they will work with you to provide the perfect cake. Growing up in Mississippi & living for many years in Atlanta, cake with caramel icing is my very favorite. If ever in (or passing through) Atlanta I go to my old Atlanta bakery for caramel cake. And Mississippi caramel pie is amazing. Those wonderful memories are impossible to banish. We called lots of bakeries, looking for caramel cake, for my sister's birthday cake. The Sugar Plum Bakery was the only one to give it a try. They didn't make the same hard caramel icing that I was accustomed to in the Deep South. They would craft a caramel butter cream icing with a yellow cake. Yes, that's close enough!! The bakery wanted to decorate the top with other flavored icing. But No!! Nothing can interfere with the caramel taste. I'm a caramel purist!! So they offered to do beachy decorations. When we picked it up it was absolutely perfect!! Oh, except the fact that it was so good that it didn't last nearly long enough. Next time I'll get a bigger cake, for sure!! They have way more than cakes. And the prices are reasonable. Sugar Plum is located on the south side of Laskin Road past the Hilltop Shopping corridor. It's a nice, clean stand alone facility with plenty of parking, not in a shopping center. A really wonderful thing is that they are a "not for profit" business that employs & trains individuals with disabilities. It doesn't get better than that. Try it. You'll like it. NO!! You'll love it. read more

Great everyday treats or great for special occasions. They have so much to choose from, you will NOT be disappointed. I have tried something different everytime I go. I still have not tried everything yet. They keep making new wonderful yummmmy creations. I stopped in to get my husband something for his birthday. I did not just want a boring cake. I found the biggest donut I have ever seen. He LOVED it!!! Not just cool looking , it tasted great too. It was so light and wonderful just like a small doughnut but 10 times bigger. VERY FRESH. The service is always good, friendly and helpful. Stop in. You will not be disappointed. read more

I don't think the manager liked being called out on a bait and switch tactic on their custom orders, even politely. Even tried to negotiate a more than fair resolution and got punished for that. I really wanted to like this place but I'll never go near here again. Manager demanded that I act happy about a last minute bait and switch or they wouldn't take the order. Was still going to order and then she wouldn't take it because of a 4 star review. read more

Well well well!!!!!! I've never been here before until my amazing sister slide me over to this place one morning. My gracious why was it so good. I went in like yeah it's just another sweet spot...... But yet it wasn't lol it was waaay better than I thought. Sugar Plum Bakery you done up and did it! Stole my heart or better yet my taste buds yasss. Oh my sugar hunny ice tea!!! It was sooooo many things my eyes was trying to see all at once lol. But I told myself that I'd be good, so with that being said I got the fritter called the sugar plum. I think it has cherry, blueberry and one more thing I believe. Also the chocolate chip walnut and coconut cookies annnnnd I got the pineapple upside down mini cake, with this dope azz doughnut with cookie crumbles on top. And surprise surprise it had a cream filling . I hate doughnuts with anything in the middle lol. but these ones oh yes I'll take that creamy white whatever flavor it was goodness. I can only hope that my second time will be even better than my first. If you have not been to this awesome place called Sugar Plum Bakery! Go go go show some love and support to the awesome hands that prepared these amazing sweet's, breads coffee and more. The ambiance lol, feel of the place is nice a grab a seat and eat in kind of place. It's a trap really lol because they know you will be back up to that counter before you leave .

We stopped here one morning while on vacation. Though a special treat, my parents enjoy a morning pastry on occasion. I sampled the chocolate brownie which was super fudgy and I enjoyed the crunch of the walnuts on top. I also sampled the lime bar which was just ok- it could have a little more lime flavor but it was a good consistency with a buttery crust underneath. The prices fell in a range I would expect at the beach (a little higher than I would normally pay), but the items were pretty good and the employees were very friendly. Overall, a good find. read more

Sugar Plum Bakery - Mozart doughnut - Bakeries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I debated on writing this review, because I love what this bakery stands for. Which is the one of the reasons I chose to order my daughters sweet 16 cake from 4 hours away with them. However for people who dedicate and speak online with great emphasis on helping others, they had no interest in helping me. I was treated with no empathy, and spoken to in a condescending tone with a very dismissive demeanor by a lady who i believe is the manager. I added a layer of cake for my daughters birthday cake and the team failed to tell me they would not be able to enclose the cake in a box because of the height. When i arrived the cake looked ok (subpar decorations) but it was pretty. The lid on the box of the cake was taped at a slant about 6 inches exposing the cake. the team expressed they cant close it because the cake is too tall. I asked if there is anything we can do. maybe plastic wrap or layer it with another box to prevent anything from touching the cake, as my party was 3 hours out. the associated went and got another box with the intention of helping me, but then the manager came out and stopped it. She said we cant do it, if anything touches our icing it will damage the cake. I told her i understand and attempted to brain storm ideas for a resolution. Every time i spoke i was cut off, she said she cant be liable for the cake getting damaged, even tho she already is liable if anything land or falls on the cake with an open top. she continued to refuse to help. or help me come to some resolution, even tho the associate before was more than happy to help. She had no care to how important this cake was for my daughters sweet 16 which i had been planning for months, and put a major damper on my daughters day. I ended up leaving with the cake and an extra box to try and navigate how to cover the cake myself. Fast forward 15 min later taking the cake to my room until the party, a strong wind came and sure enough! Beach sand or some kind of dust blew on the top of the cake! leaving black dots all over the top of the cake. This is exactly why i requested the cake be closed in! Its hard for me to believe they deliver taller cakes with no cover or box at all (which she said they do). That has to be unsanitary in some capacity. We ended up singing happy birthday to my daughter and had to scraped the entire top of the cake off in order to eat it. I appreciate the associates for empathizing and showing compassion, they understood how i was feeling, but to the manager. you should be ashamed of how you failed to find a solution to my issue, or even communicate with me without being belittleing. Go forward, buy get bigger boxes, it's a bakery people will want larger cakes. Learn compassion, and learn how to treat every customer the same, cause i have a feeling if i wasn't who i was i would have been treated differently. (take that how you want). Lastly live by your motto " ITS ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE" A cake is a big deal for some people! especially me as i didn't get my first cake till i was in my 30's. I promised to always buy my kids cake on their special day! and my daughter was so upset when she saw dirt on top of the cake and we had to scrape off the top to consume it. I hope this finds you, and you learn from your mistakes. so know one else has to be made feel small, by your lack of empathy, and you condescending ego read more

We have orders many birthday cakes over the years from this bakery and have never been disappointed. The bakery is very clean and the staff are friendly. The Mozart and Lillie's Chocolate Cream are some favorites around here. The lemon cake is so good too! Every cake and cupcake has been moist and the flavors just work. read more

Bakeries are one of my many happy places and this is no exception. For many years, I've gladly made the 45 min drive from Norfolk to indulge on their quality fresh baked cakes and sweets available in sizes to feed 1 or 100+. It may be higher in price than other spots but the longtime quality and consistency are well worth it. Aside from the smell of sugar heaven and warm hospitality of the shop, I like giving my business to people that are community minded. My favorite is the Mozart cake: yellow cakes separated by a layer of raspberry preserves and Bavarian custard cream covered in buttercream icing and chocolate ganache. Finishes range from purple flowers to seasonal decorations. The chocolate decadence is an office favorite and requires no description! Another popular choice among co-workers are the cupcakes and cake-pops in fabulous varieties of coconut, carrot cake, birthday cake, red velvet, chocolate, etc! If you're fitness minded, you're mindful of what you eat; I assure you there's no calorie remorse with anything you'll try from here!!! Their website has comprehensive descriptions of their many creations; they welcome custom orders and you can even order ahead! read more

I discovered this place while visiting VA Beach. It's worth searching out. The staff were super friendly. The baked goods are simply amazing.
