This is what a bakery should be! Everything they make here tastes great. The staff is awesome too. We moved recently and I really miss this place. Now we only go there occasionally because they are not very close, but the long trip is worth it. Typically, we get coffee and a pastry. They change what they have on a daily basis but there's usually something with chocolate and it's always delicious. We also get bread and focaccia - it's all fresh made and irresistible. They have a cozy seating area, so you don't need to drive home smelling all that baked goodness on an empty stomach. We usually have the coffee and pastry before going. Very pleasant experience. You'll enjoy it and it's very close to the center of Waxhaw (walking distance) so a great way to start your trip to town. read more

Holy Smokes!!! This is the real deal. I live in Charlotte and make it a point to drive out and devour these delightful, delicious, fresh gifts from the bakery gods. Seriously though, the owners are humble, honest and talented as they come. Their love is poured into each croissant, cruffin and sourdough loaf. Don't get me started on the Stuffed English Muffins and the Bagel Bombs!!! Virtuoso gives 2020 hope to the community that we all need to treat ourselves. read more

See all

Just go. Every bite is magnificent. EVERY BITE! So worth a drive. Sincerely amazing!!

Good pastries and good bread, but very expensive. 16$ for a foccacia seems a little silly.

The baked goods here are pretty amazing, the staff is always really friendly and inviting even at their busiest, so cozy to be there I just want to eat a pastry and take a nap there lol! read more

Best bakery I've EVER been to in the USA and I've lived and traveled all over They have competition in France cuz this is true work of art!!! read more

Amazing coffee, baked good and staff. I absolutely love supporting this business. HIGHLY recommended!

Really great food, and really really good baked goods. However, they have three people behind the counter and only wait on one person at any given time. This leads to 15 minute waits just to order a croissant, English muffin, or some bread. Very nice people, but very inefficient. Doesn't take much to move people in and out, and maybe put an emphasis on serving more than one person at a time. read more

This is a delightful bakery with customer service as good as their baked goods. Highly recommend the stuffed muffins and any of their Danish. Truly wonderful! read more

Ordered blueberry bagels a couple days before we wanted to pick up. Fortunately called morning of pick up, and whoops.....they forgot to enter the order. Not a major issue, but the day we picked up and brought home! These bagels were lucky to have 2 blueberries each. Some had none. Ordered because the first time we got them, they were LOADED with blueberries....every bite, and were delish. Not only were they lacking blueberries, but were very tough. Also picked up a type of peach coffee cake, in which we could hardly find or recognize the peaches. The bagel bombs, on the other hand are great! They did give us a partial credit on the 16 bagels we bought, but for that many bagels to have that few blueberries? Sorry, can't take a chance on the inconsistency. read more

Absolutely delightful. The cheese pretzel, lemon cruffin, cheese sourdough and classic sourdough just AMAZING!!!! Still have choc cookies to try for dessert tonight! Very very friendly! read more

I can't say enough good things about Lauren and the staff at Virtuoso. Everything they bake is super yummy, and we frequent the bakery at least 2-3 times a week. Their baked goods are always thoughtful and culinary masterpieces...all of the sweet items are made impeccably, and their savory stuff is what strikes my fancy. Try any of the following, you won't regret them: Dulce de leche cruffin, stuffed English muffin with sausage and white Cheddar, croissant cups with bacon, egg, and sautéed onion. Also, all of their sourdoughs are amazing as well. Their coffee, sourced from Enderly Coffee, is also top notch. Say hello to Ms. Jenny, Andrea, Erin, Lauren, and Mr. Brandon from us! read more

A plus!!! Well I have been tracking them for awhile. I used to live in Waxhaw and be able to order a few things, and then found some of their products at Union Market-- Baking in this level is amazing. I have only had a few to compare and not in this state, so this is truly the best baked goods in NC. They use the right top tier ingredients, every product is great value, and I think they are going to be a great success as they continue, and really choose to support local, we have to and they need it and the product is such higher quality! And soon they will have specialty espresso drinks! read more

Woman who worked there was very rude to us and our children for playing a PacMan machine, which was not very loud when nobody else was in there and the television was even louder. If they do not want children to play the game, perhaps they should remove it? Perhaps it's more kitsch they have on display? Our children were quiet and polite and this could have been handled differently. This was our first time in the bakery and certainly our last. read more

So delicious! We stopped by and bought a variety of baked goods. We loved the stuffed croissant, bagel bomb, cinnamon rolls! Super cute shop and friendly service. read more

This pastry shop is little but MIGHTY! Lauren & her crew make FABULOUS sweet & savory creations that are irresistible. Go now.

Our first time! We felt so welcomed Jenny took her time and explained everything to us in detail, which I totally appreciate. Cute bakery and the food is worth all the hype that brought us here. We will definitely be driving the 45 mins it takes for us to get there again! Thank you guys! read more

There are no words to accurately describe the intense awesomeness of the quality, taste and service you will experience at this place!

I have been to Virtuoso a handful of times now and every experience has been fantastic! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and nice. The bread and other baked goods are delicious. You won't be disappointed! read more

We love the staff here and the pastries are so delicious. Anytime we are in downtown Waxhaw, we stop here.

Absolutely amazing! Went in this morning for the first time and coming back every Saturday! Not only was the team kind and professional, but the stuffed sourdough English muffin is one of the absolute best things I have ever eaten! My 5 boys devoured the chocolate banana muffins and chocolate croissants! Thanks for your amazing service and comfort food! read more

Finally a local spot that does baked goods and breads RIGHT!! Still not my favorite Blue Oven english muffins, but pretty darn close. Great couple who own it too. Keep up the awesome work - we love what you create! read more

Virtuoso is seriously legit. They would definitely get a handshake from Paul Hollywood. Everything they sell is outrageously good. Some of my favorites I've tried are: the sausage and cheese stuffed English muffins, the pecan sticky buns, and the apple danishes. And all the bread is wonderful! On top of having some of the best bread and desserts you can find, the service is top notch as well. read more

We got a sticky bun, a cinnamon roll, a chocolate chip cookie, and a Pecan Cookie. Everything was awesome. Cool set up inside. I will be back and I have already told friends how awesome everything was. read more

This little bakery has such a variety of amazing sweets and savory breads. We went on a Saturday morning (around 10:30) and it was very busy! The line goes through a very small space so I would suggest going early or maybe ordering ahead to avoid waiting in an enclosed space. (Boo COVID!) The woman at the counter was super friendly and explained everything in the case to us since it was our first time. Their bakers make new creations out of what they have on hand it looks like, so in a sense you never know what you'll find! Only giving it four stars bc the only outdoor seating isn't covered and indoor seating is very close proximity. read more
