Extraordinary Cupcakes

★★★★☆ 4.2 (178) • $$

"Extraordinary Cupcakes saved the day(s)!!!!I live out of state and was having difficulty finding a Williamsburg bakery to make & deliver a birthday cake to my mother whose retirement community had restricted access during the pandemic. The woman I spoke with was incredibly helpful!I chose the Bewitching Blueberry Lemon. The decoration was beautiful & my mother assured me it was delicious!! The experience was so fantastic, I ordered the Sinfully Salted Caramel cake for my father's birthday the following week!I look forward to patronizing Extraordinary Cupcakes when I come for a visit later this year!"

Persnickety Crane Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (154) • $$

"Went back with my coffee group and we all enjoyed our drinks, food, the seating area (plenty of seating options and areas including a kid play area) I personally had the chicken salad and it was still very good as well as the London fog drink. My friend had the Brazilian bagel and she said it was vet good! Service behind the counter as well as the people bringing out the drinks were all kind and nice. Overall a great place to gather!"

Twisted Sisters Cupcakes

★★★★★ 4.5 (134) • $$

"The best cupcakes in Hampton Roads! I've stopped by their truck at CHKD a couple of times now. Their cupcakes are perfect. Always the right amount of sweetness and bold flavor. My favorite is the red velvet. The staff member running the truck is always very friendly. I'm looking forward to trying all of their staple cupcakes and their featured flavors of the month!"

"What a gem of a bakery! I'm sad that it's on the Peninsula, but maybe that's better for my hips LOL.I had heard a few Yelpers mentioning that this was a Japanese-style (and Japanese owned) bakery, so during Spring Break, my kids and I were in the area exploring, so we stopped in before heading home.It's located inside a small strip mall. For some reason, I thought it had a dining area. It was a bit of a torture to have to drive and wait 45+ minutes to taste the goodies haha. The lady who helped us was super patient as we stood their trying to make tough decisions. - The Treats -Cinnamon Roll - Individually packed in a plastic container, the roll was super moist and the frosting abundant. It's a decent portion, it's the size of the container. Purple Sweet Potato Tart - It was just so pretty! It's a unique little tart with a kind of custard and whipped cream in the middle, piped with the purple sweet potato and edible glitter! I took pics in the sunlight and it looks magical! The crust was good too.Souffle Cheesecake - It was moist as well, and springy. It wasn't as airy as the one I had in Hawaii, but delicious nonetheless. Theirs was more on the cream cheese side, but still springy like a sponge cake. Just slightly more dense than the ones I've had in the past. Tiramisu - This is made in a cup, again decent portion. Theirs is made with cream cheese. I prefer mine with mascarpone, but it was still tasty!Hampton peeps are lucky. I would be here often if I lived nearby. Can't wait to stop in again to try more of their items! I saw that they had macarons and it's nice that they have cakes by the slice and individual tarts so you can pick a variety!Stay safe, Friends!"

"Great options, delicious flavors, kind people. Kids and adults very satisfied. Big fan of the Japanese Ube flavor cupcake."

Sweet Tooth Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (47) • $$

"My family and I recently moved to the area from Georgia to be closer to the rest of my family, and I had been looking forward to the first mother/daughter lunch out. My mom, who lives in Gloucester recommended this location so today we decided to visit for lunch. When we arrived the power was out at the restaurant (and apparently in other parts of the city) but to my surprise instead of being turned away we were welcomed in and told they were still serving lunch, the only thing they couldn't do was heat the soup and make the specialty drinks in hot form. We were seated right away and given plenty of time to peruse the menu and chat. You would never have even known they were having a hiccup with the power grid as the staff made sure everything flowed smoothly. We started with a cold glass of mixed berry lemonade, and then ordered the daily special, a Caprese Melt on herbed focaccia. The food came pretty quickly, and the portion was more than generous, and it was love at first bite! The focaccia was absolutely perfect, and the flavors married beautifully with the fresh tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese. My mother and I ordered the same sandwich but for her side she chose their fresh cut house chips and I chose the cucumber salad. And then there was dessert....sweet tooth cafe has a wide assortment of baked goods, made from scratch...and it was so hard to choose what to try first. We ended up deciding on the tiramisu and we split it. Other options were key lime pie, carrot cake, cheesecakes, cinnamon rolls that were the size of a sandwich plate, and eclairs. The tiramisu was amazing!!! With the perfect balance of flavors. By the end of the meal, just before we finished the lights came back on and everything went back to normal for the team working there, but again you never would have even known that they had any challenges. They meal was excellent, the customer service was great and I truly am looking forward to returning with the rest of my family to explore more of the menu."

May's Parlor

★★★★★ 4.5 (49) • $$

"I rarely find myself in Norfolk, but as luck would have it, I had to run an errand in the area last week. It'd been a while since my last visit to the Oceanfront location and I'd never been to this one, so it was a prime opportunity to indulge in May's delights.I'd not had my caffeine fix for the day, so we started with a couple of lattes, perfect for the chilly weather day. The hubs and I had a couple of sandwiches for lunch - he the Ham & Brie and I the Turkey Bacon Pesto. He enjoyed his sandwich. As for me? I wanted to have 10 of mine; it was so damn good. It had the perfect balance of all the ingredients. I swear I could eat that sandwich every day and never get sick of it.Of course, we couldn't leave without a box of goodies that included a cruffin (I HAD to have) and a few other sweets from the cases. It wasn't an obscene amount, but it took a few days to eat it all, nonetheless. The standout for me was the s'mores cheesecake. It was light yet rich in flavor, which is a bonus for me since I'm not a fan of super heavy desserts these days.The service was super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be looking for another excuse to go to Norfolk again soon!"

The Pink Box

Elite Custom Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.4 (45) • $

"I've ordered at least five decorated cakes from Elite the past few years, and each time I'm impressed by the cakes and the service! The decorations are so fun, and more importantly, the cake tastes delicious."

Plaza Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (57) • $$

"We have enjoyed petit fours from Plaza Bakery previously, and today we came in and ordered a few different things. We had macarons, pretzel sticks, cream puffs, and holiday cookies. The staff were extremely warm and friendly, and the bakery itself is welcoming and happy looking. My kids declared this the best bakery they have ever been to!Thank you, Plaza Bakery!"

Sugar Mama's Bakeshoppe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (30)

"I just returned from my first trip to Sugar Mama's Bakeshoppe; I can tell you it will not be the last time I go! There were a couple of people in the shop when I got there and more came in while I was looking over the sweet treats. The young lady at the register called to back and another woman came out to help manage those who were waiting. I bought 2 slices of classic yellow cake with chocolate icing and a chocolate chip cookie. The portions are very generous; the cookie was huge! Everything was so good. The shop itself is very welcoming. It is nice and bright. The first thing one sees walking through the door is the case of cupcakes, cookies, slices of cake, etc. The walls are decorated with pictures of beautiful brides among models of some of the cakes that had been made. AND... they have fabulous DOG TREATS! They look good enough for people to eat! It's a charming place, very reminiscent of old fashioned bakeries with that home-town feel. I can definitely recommend it."

Nothing Bundt Cakes

★★★★★ 4.6 (23)

"Had the opportunity to order a cake for a special occasion and definitely will be coming back for more !! I mean, every weekend is about to be special now !! The staff was friendly and cordial and was ready to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction, but you can't really go wrong with their cakes so I think they had it easy on that end. Haha :) The place is bright, well decorated and welcoming but I was too busy staring at the cakes. The cake (snickerdoodle) was delicious, moist and soft. But the icing!! The icing did it for me, specially because I am not a big fan of icing so that was a huge thing for me. I scrapped it off to get to the cake but I took a quick lick to taste it just in case and boy !! They are doing it right!! I want some icing with cake next!!Definitely will be coming back and recommend to everyone. The cake didn't make it into any picture... I don't know how that happened :)"

Kookie’s Cakes Shakes Gifts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18)

"Had a few funnel cakes and oh my! They were good! We even had them delivered and they were still hot and fresh on that 20 minute ride. My kids demolished the cupcakes I didn't even get a bite so I can't comment on how they were but I can say the kids ate them up so they couldn't have been bad!"

Nothing Bundt Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.1 (18)

"Before I begin this review let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone,so with that being said let's go!!..My wife stopped by after her dental appointment ( which is located right down the street ) and decided to get us dessert. We both got bundtinis, she got snickerdoodle and I got confetti ( pictured below ). No matter where I've gotten Nothing Bundt Cakes from, regardless of the location the cakes had always been the same great taste, soft, light and spongy= deliciousness!!.. not like Cinnabon! So if you're by any of their locations and you have a sweet tooth and you don't want to be disappointed in your choice, then this is a great place to consider! You're thank me later! Thanks for reading!."

Gimme the Sweets

"If I see a bakery sign I will stop. This didn't disappoint. New locally owned bakery. The pecan cinnamon roll was really good. Can wait to go back and try more. The owner is very friendly and welcoming."

Sweet Life Cupcakery

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Sweet Life Cupcakery came to my workplace for an event and I was extremely impressed with their delicious desserts, quality, and service! First, I'd like to start with the owners and staff. They are so friendly and so sweet! We were greeted with smiles and they were always so attentive with our orders. They were very efficient in getting our yummy treats to us too! My friend got a cupcake and I ordered the fried Oreos. They generously put some chocolate drizzle on top of the fried Oreos and that made them extra scrumptious! I am so grateful for the warm and friendly owners and staff, the excellent taste of the desserts, and for the overall great experience!"

Custom Cake Cakery

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Would I recommend Custom Cake Cakery? Yes, a million times yes. I ordered their full sheet number cake for my husband's 40th, and it turned out better than I could've ever hoped. I wanted to use my husband's photos and they ran with it, and the results were stellar. I was absolutely speechless.The cake (1 chocolate and 1 red velvet) was fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness. The frosting and Bavarian creme were superb!"
