This is a hidden 💎. We have passed it so many times because the Coca-Cola sign is eye catching. But this time we saw it and went in for a pleasant surprise. They offer sweets for vegans, gluten-free, and everyone else 🤣😂. My son had a vanilla donut and said it melted in his mouth. I had the chocolate flourless cupcake and it was sooo good. I’m glad we got it to go and I ate in when I got home. Because I would have bought some more. If you’re in the Richmond area and looking for a sweet treat stop here.Dietary restrictions: I have a wheat allergy and had they had something I could eat. Which is really rare.

The BEST carrot cake cupcakes around! Sadly, they were out the last time we went, so we opted for the apple fritter. Oh my word... slices of apple in almost every bite. And they are huge. I wanted to eat the whole thing myself. And the little lemon pies... perfection. Lemony, but not too sweet.You're not leaving out of there without something delicious!

Went here by default. The business I intended to go to was closed. I knew this place was here my wife had talked about it. So since I went out early on a Saturday morning to treat her I came here as a backup. I am so glad I did. The donuts were fresh and delicious. So So good. They had a great variety of flavors. My wife said the raspberry glaze was her favorite. Mine was chocolate glazed. Will definitely be going back to try some other flavors.

I love EVERYTHING about this shop! First of all: thank you for having stickers! It's one of the most important things for me when going to a place, followed by good service and good food. My service was great-- a nice young man helped me pick 3 regular and 1 vegan donut, plus an oatmeal raisin cookie and ALL OF IT WAS DELICIOUS. MY GOD. I NEED MORE. When I return to Petersburg I'll make sure to stop by again.

Fresh, trendy bakery in Old Town Petersburg. I found this place off the positive reviews on here and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered an everything scone and maple bacon donut. The scone was DELICIOUS! The donut was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Calm vibes with the sun coming in in the morning and fresh flowers.

Super cute and clean bake shop with affordable prices. They also sell birthday candles, which is super convenient if you pick up a birthday cake there. Delicious donuts. Quick service.

We went this morning for doughnuts and they were phenomenal! They were everything I was hoping for. I’m surprised there is not a line out the door. They were moist and fresh and sweet, with a good bit of variety to be interesting but not so much that it was overwhelming. Pictured: lemon blueberry, chocolate sprinkle, Guinness, strawberry fruity pebble, Boston crème, and a HUGE Apple fritter. I do not have a favorite doughnut, but the lemon blueberry was unexpectedly stand out. They are priced well - $1.50/each for most doughnuts and a tiny bit more for the filled and fritter. The shop also sells cupcakes, cake slices, whole cakes, and cookies, but we did not indulge (this time!)

Went in and asked about cakes, cupcakes, and donuts. My main question was storage and keeping the cakes for my upcoming trip. I was driving to Missouri to surprise my wife for our anniversary. The employees were AWESOME. They told me how to keep the items fresh. I got a Chocolate Ganache(sp?), a dozen cupcakes and donuts. Everything was delicious, my wife loved it all. The advice to freeze the cakes worked perfectly and everything tasted great when I got to MO. They even offered to write something on the cake for me! "Happy Anniversary"I'll be stopping here for donuts in the future for my coworkers too.The baked goods were excellent, and the customer service was A+. I won't go anywhere else for baked goodies during my time in VA.I wish I knew the emoloyees' names to shout them out, but if they see this I'm sure they'll remember. Thank you!10/10 would recommend.

Wanted a really cute cake for my birthday this week. I reached out to BMBS the week before and they came through with the best cake ever! I got a funfetti cake with the pink icing. The cake isn’t too sweet so i think it balances well with the icing!! Will always recommend this place (especially their donuts)

Cute and cozy place to get a dessert and enjoy a simple cup of coffee. Prices look high ($3 for a specialty donut), but are extremely good when you consider the quality of what you're getting. Enjoy coming with the family so the little one can pick his own treat for the day. Would encourage them to develop their coffee menu a bit, but for a bake shop they have hit the pinnacle of their craft!!!

I’m so glad someone told me about this place. The donuts are insanely delicious. The maple bacon is by far my favorite and I’ll happily drive from Richmond to Petersburg just to have it. There’s nothing I haven’t loved from this place. They obviously love what they do since it comes through in the food. This place coupled with Demolition Coffee right down the street is my favorite combination for a fast kid Saturday breakfast.

Have been to this bakery multiple times. They also did my wedding cake and cupcakes. This go around we ordered cupcakes for a gender reveal and once again they turned out amazing and all the guests loved them. I highly recommend!

Where oh where do I begin🧐… My first introduction to the marvelous bakery was the perky & infectious smile coming from behind the counter😝. Everything was soo clean and it smelled like BUTTER😍. All of the glasses were glistening , as though they were just cleaned moments before I arrived 🤩🤩. I was overwhelmed with all the treats & goodies. My sis had given me a list😁😁— I selected an apple fritter (which was the size of your head 😳), a delectable cream cheese cinnamon bun, maple bourbon cinnamon bun, red velvet cupcakes and they even had dog treats! Needless to say, everyone in the house was satisfied!!!! This bake shop is ahhhhhmazing.

I’ve been dreaming about the lemon blueberry doughnuts for two years and finally made it back today. SO GOOD. Location is good, easy parking, lots of yummy options including vegan ones, and the salesperson was lovely. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

It is so cute inside of the shop. Everyone I've dealt with has been very nice and helpful. The puns on their Instagram page under the pics are hilarious. Last, but certainly not least, all of their desserts are AMAZING. Everything is so fresh and delicious.

I've heard so much talk about this place and decided to go and try it, but I've had better donuts and pastries, although these were very good.Parking: The parking lot is okay in size , but there's not a lot of parking in front of the shop.

Fantastic! My daughter is allergic to eggs, so I was excited to find that they make Vegan doughnuts on Saturday mornings. We previously had to go to Sugar Shack to get something she could have...and we like these much better. Support local, especially when it is this awesome!

One of the best bakeries in the 804, hands down. The cookies are simple yet iconic and the same can be said about their donuts, which are made fresh and there's constantly a variety. Not feeling cookies nor donuts? Buttermilk also sells cheesecake bites, cake slices, macarons, wedding cookies, brownies and even snacks for dogs. The Key Lime Pie is tremendous and makes me wish they sold the whole pie and not by the slice!

On 9/5/23, I ordered a dozen and a half gluten free cupcakes for a co-worker's birthday with Jazz (name she gave) over the phone, asked for the final cost and was quoted a price of $36.00. On the day of pickup (9/7/23) I was quoted the price of $54.54, told the lady I only had $40.00 and was not told of an additional cost for gluten free cup- cakes when I placed the order. Adding insult to injury, I was never offered an apology for the misinformation nor was I offered the price I was originally quoted, which would have been the correct thing to do. Instead the lady, with the short blondish colored hair and dark glasses behind the counter, never got her name unfortunately, that waited on me gave a look like do you want them or not and even after I said she should have told me when I placed the order of the additional cost, I still got the look like do you want them or not...had it not been for my co-worker's birthday, I would have left the dozen and a half gluten free cup cakes right there. Customer Service didn't exist on this day and management was unapologetic for their staff's error...I was recommended to this place because of the gluten free cupcakes unfortunately, I will not be returning nor recommending anyone else to patronize the place.
