Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Short Pump

"Led by brother-sister duo Evrim and Evin Dogu (who received James Beard Award-semifinalist status in 2019 and 2020), Sub Rosa Bakery takes ‘homemade’ to new extremes: They “mill their own stone-ground flour from Southern-grown grains and bake homemade bread in a wood-fired oven,” writes Hannah Hayes for Southern Living. “Evin's morning selection of delicious chocolate croissants and pastries filled with fig and Manchego cheese provides reason enough to schedule a wake-up call.”. Sub Rosa Bakery owners Evin and Evrim Dogu"

"I still remembered my first breakfast at Sub Rosa five years ago. Biting into the buttery, flaky crust of my chocolate croissant is one of my favorite food memories of that trip. Not only are the pastries beautiful, but they are so photogenic that a picture of their pastries still graces my business card."

"I’ve only been here once, but the calm atmosphere made me want to come back again and again (I need to make that happen). They not only offer delicious beverages, but also treats from their wood-fired bakery!. You’ll love their croissants with your coffee."

"Once a famous corner drug store, Tarrant's Café is an upscale eatery that offers all-American fare in a casual, cozy setting. Based in the historic building known as Tarrant’s that sold glasses and medicinal remedies, the celebrated neighborhood café-style restaurant features high ceilings, wooden booths and chandeliers to create an elegant ambiance. The extensive menu features an array of delicious options, ranging from brunch and lunch to dinner specials, pizza and mouthwatering desserts."

"Satisfy your sweet tooth with a trip to Pearl’s Bake Shoppe. In addition to everyday flavors that include chocolate, vanilla, and carrot cake, Pearl’s offers unique specialty and seasonal flavors like beignet, mint julep, and Virginia’s President. And if you’re traveling with a food allergy or dietary restriction, you’ll be glad to know that Pearl’s also has a selection of delicious gluten-free and vegan cupcakes each day."

"If cupcakes were all that Pearl’s did, they would still be one of the top bakeries around – and with good reason. But fortunately for all of us, Pearl’s is much more than just cupcakes. Known as one of the premier bake shops in the region, Pearl’s also prides themselves on their original, handcrafted cake designs – which includes some of the best birthday cakes in the Richmond area."

"Worth the drive to the West End for their delicious vegan options. pearlsbakeshoppe.com. 5812 Grove Avenue in the far West End"

"Another great option to grab coffee and a quick bite in the morning (or a sweet treat later in the day) is Whisk, where buttery croissants, a rainbow of macarons, and other tasty items are baked fresh daily."

"Their light and airy environment, delicious macarons, and yummiest mocha latte have me listing this as one of the top spots in Richmond. It’s incredibly Instagrammable, inside and out!"

"Since many of us try to squeeze our Christmas shopping in after work and school or on the weekends, Morsels might sound like it was designed for the busy family—especially during the holidays. This late night desserterie (and yes, that’s a thing) specializes in serving up mouthwatering treats for the after-dinner, after-movies, or after-Christmas shopping crowd. They offer hours from 6-10pm on Wednesday and Thursday, and 3pm-12am on Fridays and Saturdays, making them the perfect place to stop in for a sweet holiday treat after a long day."

"You don’t need to have a birthday as an excuse to stop by Morsels. In fact, you don’t need an excuse of any sort. This family-owned Northside gem calls themselves a “late-night desserterie,” with somewhat unconventional eat-in hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6pm until 10pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm until midnight."

"What’s Valentines Day without chocolate covered strawberries!?!. Don’t worry, you’ll never have to find out Morsels has... This dessert shop tucked away into the Bellevue neighbourhood of Richmond is perfect for when you get that late night sweet cravings!"
