I don't even like frosting and whatever they did with this buttercream has changed my life. I highly recommend the Lyle-O, hop tart (literally any flavor), that buttermilk biscuit, and a slice of cake! Only thing missing from the menu is a good Matcha. The service is usually pretty decent. And it's always cozy inside.

I'm already excited for the next chance I'll get to visit again.

This was the most expensive funnel cake I've ever had. Cason Funnel Cakes came to my neighborhood…read moreon a weeknight and had a great turnout but perhaps wasn't prepared for a crowd. There was one employee doing his best to simultaneously take orders and prepare them so it took quite awhile. We were excited to see a funnel cake flight option and were surprised to see it priced at only $11. We splurged and added 2 ice cream scoops. Upon payment, we found out there is a $1 upcharge per each funnel cake we got in the flight, I guess because they weren't the original. This was not disclosed on the menu and the selling point of a flight is to try multiple flavors. Also once we received our order, the ice cream scoops were just small slivers of ice cream scooped in a curved way to make it look like it was full - definitely not worth a $3 "scoop". With tip, this plate ended up costing $24. The funnel cakes themselves were enjoyable and the employee was very friendly so we didn't leave feeling too disappointed by the prices.

I tried the viral fruit entremet and chose the mango and raspberry flavors. The mango entremet featured a delicious custard and mango filling within a beautiful hard shell, but my personal favorite was the raspberry. The raspberry custard paired with the raspberry filling was truly outstanding. I also sampled their chicken sandwich croissant, made with their homemade croissant. It was super filling; although I thought the chicken salad could use a little more seasoning, it was still enjoyable. I'll definitely be back to try more pastries and I might even book them for an event!

There is some off-street parking, but depending on when you go, it might be hard to find. There is a private parking lot across the street which would be ideal if they allowed us to park there. Maybe Bruster's can strike a deal. This place is set up for you to walk up to a window. It is very secured behind a glass. The menu is up top and you place your order and wait for your name to be called. There are some benches around the establishment to sit and enjoy your ice-cream. Let me say, the employees are all very nice. Good customer service. This was my first visit. The cashier was friendly. I ordered a banana split which comes with 3 scoops of ice-cream. I was able to change the usually vanilla, chocolate and strawberry scoop to a scoop of Gooey Birthday Cake, Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It also came with chocolate syrup, pineapples, strawberries, cherries, pretzel stick and whip cream. You can ask for caramel syrup and sprinkles too. On my first visit, I paid full price for the banana split. On my second visit, I came on a Thursday because if you bring a banana, the banana split is half price, so it's $5. It was delicious! The pics with the sprinkles is from my first visit. Definitely go check them out.

I've come back more than a few times to try different cupcakes from this bakery, and it has not disappointed! They always have a line when I stop by of people picking up bakery orders or stopping by to grab sweet treats. They have all kinds of pastries and bakery items: cakes, cake pops, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pies, macarons, pop tarts and even packaged drinks. I've gotten a few different cupcakes from them. My favorites have been the peaches and cream, top hat cupcake, pistachio raspberry and strawberry vanilla. Their tiramisu cupcake, margarita cupcake and the key lime cupcakes all actually tasted so much like the namesakes! Their cupcakes are mostly perfectly balanced sweetness: I haven't had anything that was too sweet. Their cakes look so beautifully decorated, but I haven't tried any. They look so good though! Everything in there are so aesthetically pleasing, and if the cupcakes are anything to go by, I'd say flavor wise, the other items would meet expectations! Definitely one of my favorite places in Richmond to get myself a treat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
