LOVE this place!! My go to bakery in Richmond. I’ve had their Oatmeal Cream Pie, Shyndigz cookie, Salted Chocolate Caramel Cake, Key Lime Cake, Key Lime Pie, German Chocolate Cake, and the Vanilla Funetti Cake. All delicious! My personal favs are the oatmeal cream pies, shyndigz cookies, and the salted chocolate caramel cake. Love the bubbles blown at the entrance and all the cuteness inside! Had a yummy espresso before picking up a birthday cake 12/6/25. They have something for everyone, our fur babies included! You can even purchase frozen cookies and pies to bake at home. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu! Oh and the best customer service every time I visit, so thank you to the friendly staff that keeps this place going and customers like me returning!

This gem is a must visit when you’re in Carytown. My husband and I decided to stop in and pick up some treats to take home with us from a brief stay in Richmond. Inside not only did we find some delectable treats, but they have a wonderful eclectic mix of gifts for children and adults. So if you’re looking for a baby shower gift or a housewarming gift this would be a fantastic place to check out.

This charming dessert has such Richmond vibes. The line was insane when we arrived so we knew it would be something special. The interior had a cool little shop to browse while waiting to place your order. Might have to go back and do some shopping! We ordered the Butterfinger Pie and the Fresh Fruit Cake. Oh man, they were heavenly. Highly recommend- though it was so hard to choose! There were a lot of options. While the service and food was great, it was very squished when it came to seating. There really weren’t many tables you could sit down and enjoy your treat at. I know they’re working with the space they have, but it’s definitely a gamble on seating.
Will be back to try more!

Everything you heard about this place is pretty true. Tasty desserts and interesting decor, combining food/dessert/drinks and even in door trailer.
Only reason I gave it less than 4 stars is the price. Sure with everything in this world suffering from inflation, I still think a tiny piece of brownie should not cost over $7.

Come here for the cake! We tried the Cookie Butter Cake and the Sootted Cow Cake. Both were delicious with hefty portion of frosting. We got the small sized slice and they were so filling we couldn’t eat the whole thing on our own! Additionally, the store is cute and offers other items like plants and decor. The market also prepares cocktails however we did not try any.

I ordered a slice of strawberry lemon cake and my daughter had an oreo velvet one. My cake was excessively sweet, my daughters cake was somewhat dry and again way too sweet.
The man at the cash register was somewhat kurt and didn’t take time ringing up my order. His associate was kind enough to do so.
Not a great experience

Great desserts. I loved the peanut butter cookie and recess cake! I took it to go. The atmosphere didn’t really encourage me to stay – dark and cluttered

This is a place I want to like but still find myself not enjoying.
For people unfamiliar with the space they have a split counter/ ordering situation. I am not entirely sure what can and cannot be ordered at each counter. There is limited indoor seating, which is supplemented by outdoor seating. The times I’ve been here it’s been very busy and there is no clear paths or directions, which makes it confusing and overwhelming visitor experience.
Their cakes are really good and the portion sizes are huge, but there is also a price tag associated with this. For our Americano and our Irish coffee it was $20. It was another $20 for a meal. The slice of cake I want to say was around $7 . I’ve only had their cakes, which are pretty good, but according to the friends I was with the food looked really good but was only okay.
I want to like this place but there are just some improvements that could be made to make visitor experience better.

Shyndigz is a MUST any time in Richmond. My wife being from the area, her favorite dessert in the world is their Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake, so we make a point to come here any time we’re in town. I’ve gotta say, I’m a big fan myself. Lots of delicious well made options and they’ve got you covered whatever your preference is. On top of the delectable sweet treats, there is always service with a smile and an enjoyable atmosphere with cool other merch to purchase. Whether you get something to go or enjoy their patio area to dine in, you won’t be disappointed.
