Their regular cinnamon roll is huge and gooey and great and I can't wait to try their cheese cinnamon roll because it sounds so interesting. Stop by for breakfast or lunch!

This is truly a family run establishment and it was so sweet to watch the couple who runs it argue over who makes the best latte! I promise you won't regret a trip here.

Everything we tried was delicious. The cinnamon roll was fluffy and best warmed up. The fruit tart and layered cake had the same custard-like filling. The fruit tart base was flaky puff pastry. The layered cake had crunchy layers that I hadn't had before. I do wish they labeled the items and listed prices and common allergens. We had to point and ask, which can take time especially with a line behind. They have some seating but it seems to be mostly a to-go spot.

It was brusque but mostly not overtly rude, perhaps they were just busy getting ready. I ordered the charcuterie board ($28), a chicken salad croissant sandwich ($14), and the Lavender Bees Knees ($8). The drink was very pretty but not super flavorful. The chicken salad was good enough, but I think the croissant alone would have been wonderful. The charcuterie board had a substitutions I was not made aware of upon ordering (no pepper jelly, blanched almonds instead of candied pecans, and a green onion mixed type goat cheese with bacon in it instead of maple bacon goat cheese). They did add little pickles and the presentation was pretty enough, but no flowers like the owner posted photo on here. The meat was pretty thick which could be a positive or negative depending on personal preference, and the meat was decent quality. The fig jam was very good. The waitress who was helping the other tables had brought my food out but didn't check on me at all. I had to go up to the counter again to order a cinnamon roll ($8) and a coffee ($5) which she brought out to me. The coffee was nice and dark (Cameo blend) and incredibly hot. The cinnamon roll was okay, not very much cinnamon flavor but it was delicate and the icing was decent. The interior was pretty and it was a good spot to read a book and spend a morning.

I LOVE Pearl's Bake Shoppe. I've been eyeing their cupcakes for a while before finally deciding to…read moretry them, but I'm so glad that I did! 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!

My LOVE for Suzka's Cakes started with her version of carrot cake. My husband brought home a sample…read moreand it was the first carrot cake in my life that I ever enjoyed. I knew if she could make a cake that I normally despised, that I now loved, then I knew she had to be one of the BEST at her other goodies! Her carrot cake was not artificial sweet tasting, and did not have grainy bits of carrot in it, and it was not overly sweet either, it tasted more like a spice cake with all the natural flavor of carrot, smooth, dense, not a sweet icing, and heavenly made to perfection. Her "Coconut Dream Cake" is well named! The Coconut Cake icing is not sweet, and decorated with cream cheese, and nothing short of pure JOY to consume! For the holidays I love to prepare my own food layout for family and friends to eat. Unfortantely over the years I never enjoyed preparing deorated cookies for special occasions, but still wanted decorated cookies to complete my layout. Suzka's speciality decorated cookies made the Holiday occasions so much less stressful for me and at request she can specialize a cookie design, she'll let you know if she can or not, and she is spot on with all the cookie designs I've requested before! I have never found anyone who can bake desserts like Suzka that taste HOME-MADE. I absolutely LOVE Suzka's speciality designed cookies which are always decorated to perfection. if you have a food allergy and have special request Suzka can provide alternative ingredients to suite your dietary needs. Suzka is my #1 go-to for quality baked Goods!

I remember when the bakery was a tiny hole in the wall just off Broad Street, easy to miss walking by. No longer. The new location is a beautiful corner shop, with better parking, better lighting, better seating, and even more space for the amazing baked goods we know and love. I would recommend an individual thing but it doesn't matter. Short of an allergy, nothing you can have there is a bad idea. Pain chocolate? Amazing. Kouign-amann? Surprisingly soft and fluffy. Thai iced coffee? Smooth, strong, not too sweet, and beautifully refreshing. I can't wait until the pasteles de nata are back on my hands. So should you try it? Hell, I'm house-hunting now so I can move closer.
