This is a must stop every time I'm in Richmond. Each and every time I go the line is longer and…read morelonger though, so keep that in mind if you decide to stop by. The line moves pretty quickly and the sweet treats you leave with definitely make it worth it. I enjoy the salted caramel chocolate cake, but there is a plethora of treats to choose from and there's something for everybody from bars to cookies to cake and brownies. It's a whimsical spot, great for a cute little date or just a pick me up. I love the bubbles that they blow outside.

Their other baked goods are ok. I wish the key lime pie was more tart and fresh and their oatmeal cream pies are a bit too sweet for me. sometimes they have live music and it's nice to sit out and enjoy the weather.

They have quite a few signature options and a make your own. My husband and I had the dolce de leche and it was elegantly flavored with Vanilla Snow, Banana, Flan Custard, Caramel Sauce, Whipped Cream. My boys had a modified coffee toffee (added more caramel and no whip) and the polar affogato (no chocolate sauce added sprinkles). They both slammed it down. Service was awesome. We had seen that there was a Valentines deal online, but no location listed. Sadly, it was not for this location but the server gave us a coupon for our next visit. Pretty nice!!! Definitely worth the visit, make sure to check it out!!

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.

Came here to get a breakfast pastry while in the area. Brecotea is a Korean inspired bakery that…read morealso has hot and cold beverages, breads, cakes, and savory sandwiches as well. 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,

And the girl who helped us was so kind. She helped us decide to get this Oreo explosion treat and it was amazing. And came with gummy worms. It was chilly so we ate in our car but I imagine on a nice day it's great to enjoy their patio. If you're looking for custard and a kind face check out Kline's.

I also got some of their fried oreos to enjoy back at home and they were also fried perfectly. As a lover of fair food, it was nice to have a fried oreo that wasn't greasy. They also serve hot food (chicken tenders,burgers, fries and even pizzas!). The big scoop is truly a one stop shop for a fun fast casual experience. The staff were all friendly and the space is extremely spacious. With its proximity to the mall there is ample parking and would be a great end of the day spot to just relax with friends. I could even see this being a great party or after practice spot if it isn't already. If you're like me and just crave a sweet treat some days this might just be the spot for you.
