I love their nod to Ted Lasso with their shortbread "biscuits" or thick shortbread buttery cookies.

I came in to inquiry about wedding cake options. While they didn't offer what I was looking for,…read morethe ladies were very apologetic and friendly. They even tried to think of places that would have what I was looking for. Everything looked so delicious. I asked if they ever made zucchini bread because my family loves that this time of year. They had just made some and offered me a sample. It was so delicious! I ended up coming back after shipping out a package. It was a nice quiet bakery with a lovely homey feel. You can tell they're popular and sell out quickly but they're not a big high end bakery. Definitely a must try.

I thought there was line out the door at first but it turns out it's just a window so the line is always out the door I guess. We grabbed two slices, one banoffee and one coconut cream. The banoffee has a nice caramel flavor to it, not too sweet surprisingly. We liked the coconut cream slice a little more, again not too sweet but great coconut flavor. Would love to come back to try their savory pies as well but they have a great selection and the staff is nice here.

It was delicious and moist, and it had a lemon glaze on it. It was so hard to decide what to pick! Everything looked very good! I'd like to come back and try more options. Service was easy at the counter, and I took the muffin to go. There are some tables and chairs inside the bakery if you prefer to eat there. A note on accessibility: there is a ~5in step to get into the bakery, so I had to lift the front of the stroller. And the door to get in is a narrow double door. Someone on the inside had to unlatch the second door so that our stroller could fit. I think it would be difficult for someone who uses a wheelchair to access the bakery.

The staff is rude and it's a different issue every time. I've been charged $13 for a ham and cheese croissant because they didn't "have a button to ring it in properly." I've been given roast beef and told it was ham by another staff member saying "ham turns brown when you heat it up." I've witnessed gossip about customers at the register, arguments between staff while I'm waiting for my food and being told they don't have an item I'm looking directly at. Maybe it's the age of the staff members or the lack of overall experience, knowledge, consideration...pick one, but the service alone keeps me from coming back to this quaint, local bakery.

Since we didn't come early enough, a lot of things were sold out but they still had a good amount of stuff. We ordered a Chocolate Almond Croissant, Cinnamon Sugar Braid, and the Peaches & Cream Tart. People weren't joking when they said that Sub Rosa were masters when it came to laminated dough because all of these were so flaky and buttery. Ever pastry we got was delicious but the Chocolate Almond Croissant was a real stand out. The almond chocolate filling was so rich. Possibly one of the sweetest I've had but it was really good. Definitely going to take the time to go early next time to try their other stuff but it was worth it.

I stand by this: Honey Baked Bee is hands-down the best bakery and coffee shop in Richmond…read more I've made it my mission to try just about every coffee shop in the RVA area--and I'm not exaggerating when I say I've visited nearly all of them. This one is my favorite by far. The coffee is consistently incredible, the breakfast pastries are amazing, and the baked sweets are some of the best you'll find anywhere. If you go, do yourself a favor and order the banana bread latte. It's easily my favorite drink in Richmond. One of the things that makes this place so special is the owner, Shannon. She bakes her own fresh bread, creates all kinds of delicious treats, and even makes homemade goodies for your dogs, which is such a thoughtful touch. And don't leave without asking Shannon about the history of the building and its ghost stories. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, it's a fun story that adds even more charm to an already wonderful little spot.

I wanted to read at the park, but wanted something to munch on! They were going to be closing in 20 minutes when I got there! There was the one barista at the counter. She didn't seem too friendly, but that may have been because she was getting ready to close the cafe and was just tired. I ordered a large strawberry refresher, a macaron, a cupcake and a breakfast poptarte ! I loved everything flavor wise! The refresher was tasty, it was a just a bit too sweet for me, but good regardless. The macaron was good, the cupcake wasn't too sweet and the breakfast pastry was perfectly flavorful. Overall, I had a good experience. I would love to spend some time in the cafe when they're open because they give off a cozy vibe! The short time I spent in there while waiting for my order, I noticed a lot of art is displayed. I'm assuming they sell work from local artists and artisans. I would definitely recommend stopping by and tasting something from their menu!
