My family ordered a cake for my surprise birthday celebration along with a fruit and cheese tray and petite pastries for a post celebration. Everything was fabulous and the help they received while ordering was also great!

The food was excellent, the service a bit on the slow side. Servers were overwhelmed, with no manager in sight. We sat at the adjacent room to the main area. The AC was allegedly working, but it felt like 100 degrees. Overall, it was nice. Will probably return when it cools off a little.

I can't say enough about this restaurant! I have been going there for quite a few years now so much that I feel like family when I walk in. The owners are wonderful and take such pride in everything they make from their baked goods to their lunch and dinner dishes. Everything you order is presented so beautifully! Make sure to try them it out when you get a chance or you will be missing...

I recommend this place to everyone. I was planning to bake a cake for my husbands bday but between work and 3 children's busy schedule I didn't have time. The Desserterie had multiple fresh cakes available on spot. The cake I picked was fantastic! The best I had in a long time!

I had gotten a few trays of desserts for my husband's 50th birthday party. Great quality at a great price.

Very good sandwiches as well as desserts. Good wine list! They mark a number of the tables as reserved, though it does not seem as though they actually are. If one comes at 1 minute before some magic time, no "reserved" table for you. If you come a minute latter, OK. I don't get it, but that is OK.

Visited for an afternoon lunch with my elderly Dad. I fully expected him to want dessert, but he passed after all. I'd been here before with a friend, so I knew he would like the food.
During lunch, you have to order at the counter - which is filled with GORGEOUS desserts. We had excellent coffee and really good sandwiches....

This is one of our favorite local places. You don't have to go to Paris -- or even Richmond -- for great pastries. Or to Italy for very fine gelato.

This place primarily serves delicious desserts but has a nice luncheon menu as well. While a little pricey, the food we had was excellent and the service was great. The inside eating area was limited, but the availability of heating devices in the patio area made space no real problem.
We are certainly interested in returning for dinner.

We were lucky enough to purchase a living social deal and were not disappointed. We are seafood snobs and had some of the best crab cakes we've ever had. The decor is more delicatessen but the food more than makes up for it. It's pricey compared to chain restaurants but in my opinion underpriced for the quality of food you get compared to other options in Richmond area. We split a bottle of...

Excellent Dessert / Shaky Entrees. The GOOD: Excellent desserts--live up to their name. Huge variety of cake slices, gelato, and cannolis which change nightly. The banana-walnut cake was our favorite. Good tiramisu as well. Probably the second best dessert option in the Richmond metro area (For #1 - See Shyndigz). Reasonable prices. Plenty of seating and a semi-enclosed outside patio.

Nothing to say! Martin's,and Kroger are right down the road. They are always nice, and great value

I bought dessert for a party at my house and it was OK but a little overpriced. My guests liked the items but didn't gush over them.

Cute place to have a coffee or lunch break. When you first walk in, it looks like a coffee shop with sweets which will have you thinking, "I thought they served food here too?" The menu book for food is located by the cash register. Take it to your seat and have a look. There are two booths and several tables and chairs available.

Love the dessets - hate the prices. For a great dessertery, I guess I should expect to pay big bucks. However, for some reason it leaves me feeling disappointed when I walk out spending $40 on dessert for 3 people. It is fantastic though. Great for special occasions. One day when my kids are older, my wife and I plan to just come for a lazy Saturday afternoon coffee with dessert.
