We visited the Bakehouse after a tour at ODU and were pleasantly surprised to find they offered Viennoiseries! When I saw my favorite Kouign Amann I was overjoyed because these are my absolute favorite laminated dough baked good and they are almost impossible to find in the States. My favorite bakery in Miami, Florida stopped offering them during the pandemic and never put it back on their menu. Anyway, it was delicious and I bought the last three!!!!! My husband, son and daughter in law each got a personal pizza and really liked them. As my daughter in law will be attending ODU we already made a pact that she would bring home Kouign Amanns every time I come into town to visit them! read more

This is a such a treat for me on the weekends. This bakery has a menagerie of sweet and savory delights. I especially love the ham and Gruyère croissant and even ordered them to be served for my birthday last year. The service is efficient and kind and the atmosphere is super chill. I love stopping here when I'm in the area and want a pick me up. My most recent visit I decided to take my friend here after we grabbed coffee at Fr8 house a few minutes away. We opted to get a whole pizza and went for the Brisket and Blue which had fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, smoked beef brisket, basil, pickled red onion, and green chili jam. The pizza was incredible. It had a great bite, slightly crispy, super savory with a touch of sweetness and the brisket was the savory star of the show. I added a bit of red pepper flake and it took it from a 9 to a 9.5 dare I say 10. I highly recommend checking this bakery out whether it's something as simple as a cookie or croissant or the whole pizza. There is something for everyone. read more

I visited The Bakehouse at Chelsea specifically to try their famous breakfast pizza, only to find out they don't serve it Monday through Wednesday. If you have your heart set on the breakfast pizza, make sure to plan your visit between Thursday and Sunday! On the bright side, they do sell all the other pizzas every day. Despite the initial disappointment, I ended up trying the Bird's Nest (egg, cheese, and bacon), and it was absolutely amazing. Honestly, it was exactly what I needed. To complete the experience, I paired my breakfast with a cold brew from Vessel Craft Coffee right next door. It was the perfect combination for a first visit to both spots. I'll definitely be back--maybe on a Thursday next time! read more

Finally made it here, Wood brick oven cooked pizza is amazing. I will be back again, now I need to try their pastry and breakfast. Customer service was super helpful, showed up an hour before they closed. Not a lot of seating inside but they have picnic tables outside . Every thing was fresh read more

This place has been highly recommended to us by a few friends for pizza and pastries for a while. We were running weekend errands in Norfolk and decided this very cold, pre-snow day was the day. When we arrived, at around 3pm, they had NO pastries left at all aside from 3 chocolate chip cookies, ha! We ordered a pizza to eat there and my husband chose cheese, sausage and bacon as the toppings. Pizza was ready pretty quickly, made to order and cooked in their visible wood-fired pizza oven in the back, and was delish! My 20-month old daughter loved it as did my pizza connoisseur husband. It's cute inside, bare bones with about 3-4 tables and a small and simple menu. They offer breakfast sandwiches only in the AM and tons of pastries and a bunch of pizzas and make your own pizzas. Bathrooms were bare but well-kept and clean. It's off a nondescript road away from busy traffic, so, blink and you miss it, but cute as can be and nice, laid-back vibes inside. In a cooler with other drinks for purchase were nice, cold canned waters complimentary. My daughter enjoyed walking around exploring and snacking on her pizza. Impressed with this first visit and want to come back to try some of their famous pastries. read more

The Bakehouse at Chelsea is a super cute bakery in the Ghent neighborhood that we highly recommend. Our favorite item was the jalapeño cheddar danish. The staff was kind and helpful when it came to choosing pastries, and it was neat to see the open kitchen. Street parking only, but there's seating both inside and outside. read more

Wonderful pizza... everything is freshly prepared in brick oven. We love to pick up baked goods and sourdough bread in the weekends! Owner and staff are top notch. So happy to have the Bakehouse in our community! read more

We stopped in recently and I was really excited because I've had this place on my list of places to visit for sooo long but we were never able to go till now. When we walked in it was really quiet and slightly awkward. But we were able to pick out a few items that were still available. We didn't stick around to try them though. It just wasn't giving that kind of vibe. Maybe because they were busy earlier and were finally getting some down time but it didn't really give a warm welcoming feeling. The food was delicious though. I recommend the blueberry pop tart hand pie while it's available! read more

This was my first time trying this spot and I was very excited because I love pizza. They had a good amount of options and random toppings that you wouldn't think to try which made their menu unique. The man who took our order was patient while we decided on what to order. It's very calm inside. From where I sat, I can see the workers work with dough which is cool to watch while you wait for your pizza. The way the pizza is cooked in the brick oven gives the crust a certain Smokey taste.The pizza was cooked to perfection. It had a sweetness which wasn't over taking. The flavors went together very well. I will definitely be back to try more of their pizzas. read more

The food was amazing. There is no service it's self serve pizza but the best pizza around and would be a 8.5 on the Portnoy scale

The delicious smell of baked pizza and pastries permeate the air as you enter. Staff was friendly serving their baked goods with a smile and asking if there's anything else other than the pepper jelly peach danish that I ordered. The danish was delicious! I'd come back for their pizza next time! read more

On bestie weekend this was our second bakery stop (thank goodness The Chrysler was opening soon as we surely would have hit every bakery in Norfolk) and upon selecting a dine in treat and take outs for the man, we sat down for a quiet snack on. It did not stay quiet for long. The goods are so good that even the cold, pelting rain couldn't keep the citizens away. Our dine in treat was what I thought was a simple coffee cake. It was not simple but it sure was good. Alot of crunch on top, but not enough cinnamon to turn you off. The cake was a moist compliment to the topping. As we snacked I could smell something baking in the oven and it smelled like bread. I gave bestie a blow by blow of what happening in the kitchen til I finally told her we weren't leaving til I found out what it was: focaccia bread!! I asked the young lady how long before it was ready and she gave me the food news of only 11 minutes. I immediately stopped dining on my coffee cake so I would have room for it. My husband spent 3 years in Italy courtesy of the government and almost every morning I would get up at 4 to walk our Rottie. My reward for leaving our 4th floor walk up was fresh focaccia. While the focaccia here wasn't like what you would get in Italy, it was delicious too. We chose to get ours brushed with butter and parmesan. Bestie, hubby and I ate on it for 2 days! It was big and tasty! The other 2 bakery items I brought home were the almond croissant (OMG good!! Do NOT pass it up) that looked incongruous amongst all the other pretty pastries but was so sweet, airy and perfect. I wish I had bought more of those. The other was the Pan Au Raisan roll. This thing was so good I bet even my raisan hater hubby would have eaten it. This is one of the things I dislike about living in the country. Then again, if we lived in Norfolk I'd be bigger than our house out here in the country! read more

Came on a whim, and very much enjoyed the two pizzas ordered. A little pricey for pizza; though the taste was rich and the size of the pizza was just enough to fulfill a hungry stomach. Several tables to sit and enjoy what you order, and there were some baked goods being offered as well. read more

This place had the worst pizza I've had in my entire life. The pizza was covered in sugar.

Fresh baked goods and a cozy atmosphere!! I visited The Bakehouse At Chelsea and had a really pleasant experience. The pastries were fresh and flavorful, with a great balance of sweetness. You can tell everything is baked with care and quality ingredients. The space feels warm and inviting, making it a nice place to sit with a coffee or grab something to go. Staff was friendly and helpful, even during a busy moment. Overall, The Bakehouse At Chelsea is a solid bakery with consistently good products. With a bit more seating space, it would be even better. read more

This place is pretty good. Small, and they sell out of their baked goods early so you gotta get there pretty early! Worth checking out. This is a great local spot. read more

I have been wanting to try this place out for a while and I'm glad I finally got to today. The bakery is so cute and there are many delicious treats and breads to choose from. I got 2 of the Almond croissants and 2 of the Honey Lavender scones, and a loaf of sourdough bread. I ordered a Margerita pizza to go. The pizza was so delicious. I will definitely be back in to get one of their baguettes and focaccia bread. read more

When I'm in the greater Norfolk area down by Lambert's Point docks, I make it a point to stop by The Bakehouse at Chelsea on Orapax Road. My favorite thing to get here is their amazing pizza but they also have incredibly delicious baked goods available as well. Unfortunately if you're a drinker, they don't see alcohol but most of the places around there don't mind you bringing in your own food. This is such a cool little Hamlet, I really like the vibe of this area. read more

There are quite a few pizza spots scattered across this area in Norfolk, and The Bakehouse is one of my top favs. LOCATION: I think I remember that they have one table outside and not much seating inside, so don't expect to bring the whole family here. The Chelsea neighborhood is quaint and quiet. We like to ride our bikes here, have lunch, and ride our bikes back home to Park Place. SERVICE: I recommend ordering beforehand because they're made to order, so unless you like waiting around, just order ahead :) They're very strict about dogs. I walked in with mine, and they immediately told me I had to take them out. FOOD: They serve pizzas and fresh-based pastries! I have yet to try a pizza or pastry that I don't like. The last time I visited The Bakehouse was to find a cinnamon roll, but I ended up getting a roll with blueberry or blackberry, I think. It was delicious!! But mind you, they make a certain amount for the day and run out of options at a certain time. Will I come back? Yes, absolutely. read more

I'm just going to keep reviewing this place every time because it is SO GOOD. My boyfriend and I have always gotten the sausage and egg danish. It's our favorite savory pastry.

I ordered two pizzas, pepperoni with hot honey and the salami arugula with dairy free cheese. Both were cooked well, cooked fast and super tasty. I'm always grateful for dairy free options that don't taste like they lack the texture and flavor aka the joy of regular cheese. They accidentally put the hot honey on the wrong pizza which turned out to be the right pizza because the salami arugula pizza with hot honey was *chef's kiss*. read more

Haven't been here in years and I wanted to try it again. Went with a bunch of work friends. Ordered the half pepperoni half funghi (mushrooms) pizza. It cost $19 plus charge. That's incredible! The pizza was very tasty but $19 for 6 small slices is a jump. Others had the margarita, salami arugula. Everyone liked their choices. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Bakehouse at Chelsea in Norfolk, and it was awesome! I opted for the Margherita pizza, and it was simply fantastic. The Bakehouse truly knows how to make a classic pizza shine. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, providing a delightful base for the fresh toppings. The tomato sauce was vibrant and tangy, and the fresh mozzarella melted beautifully, creating a gooey, delicious layer. The addition of fresh basil added a wonderful aromatic touch that elevated the entire pizza. Each bite was a perfect blend of simplicity and flavor, showcasing the high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere of The Bakehouse made the experience even more enjoyable, though it's worth noting that seating is limited, so you might want to plan accordingly if you're visiting during peak hours. Highly recommended for pizza lovers. They are also known for their delicious pastries and cookies which fly off the shelves so you need to come early. read more

In a food scene that is in dire need of improvement, the Bakehouse at Chelsea is one of the hidden gems of Norfolk, and definitely deserves more attention. The closest you can get to authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, and makes the best pie in the area. And of course, you can't forget about their fresh baked goods and breakfast items. CROISSANTS Here they are delicate and flaky and crumble easily, quite airy inside. With any of their flavors, you can't go wrong. I have tried some of their trendy stuff like their ube croissant and matcha croissant which I love that they're doing - but could work on pronouncing the flavor a bit more as they were too subtle to be noticed, but the fact that they're even pumping this out in the area is something commendable and I 100% support. OPEN FACED BREAKFAST SANDWICH Their main breakfast sandwich item as they don't make sandwiches but it's not a bad option as they are quite large and thoroughly cheesy. I think I would like more protein/veg on the top since it is quite bread-forward, but it's a good amount of cheese and egg which is quite fluffy and satisfying. I also love their pecan crumble bar. The quality of their baked goods is fresh, never has been stale in the five years I came here, and you can get a sense for the craftsmanship, care, and quality they put into their items. They also sell loaves of bread! If you want to step up your sandwiches at home, here's an easy way to do so. Love the open kitchen concept; you can see the bakers and the entire process take place before you; a rustic and charming setting. read more

Read the reviews and stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. Street parking and limited indoor/outdoor seating. The employees were really friendly and stopped making the goods to come to help us at the front. You can tell they are a real-deal bakehouse. The pastries looked good but the prices weren't listed and didn't want to bug the staff by asking how much each one was. Opted for pizza. Ordered: Fungi pizza: oyster and cremini mushrooms, ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, and ricotta (added sausage for additional charge) the crust holds up to the New York fold but beware of the toppings that will slough off due to the oil from the cheese. I have no complaints about eating it off the cardboard. Very indulgent and needed some heat for balance. They have pepper flake and parm packs. Oddly enough my husband asked if he could have free water and was told they didn't have any. I find that borderline unacceptable for any brick-and-mortar that sells food. So we bought drinks. Blueberry soda: tasted like wild Maine blueberries, the better of the two sodas cream soda: different company and much larger than the blueberry, def tastes the honey compared to the cane sugar other companies use This is a cute place outside of central downtown that provides real homemade food. Better yet go grab a beer next door to pair with the pizza. for a comforting casual meal with friends. read more

Top three pizza places in Norfolk! If you're a fan of Neapolitan style pizza (thinner crust, lots of sauce, wood fire cooked), this place and they're satellite at Elation Brewing is the bomb! The pizza flavors are simplistic, their sauces are elegantly delicious, and the pizza crust is fluffy and tasty on its own. Their willingness to deliver to the breweries around Chelsea puts them in the top-tier of customer service in my opinion. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

I love this place! Great food and great vibes. Perfect for walking from downtown on the ERT for a chill date night
