The cutest bakery! Availability to eat inside, outside or take home. Lots of options for those with a sweet tooth, I tried the fruit cake and oatmeal creme pies. 2 words, SO GOOD! Admittedly I enjoyed my treats better on day 2, everything is being chilled in fridges when you order which definitely played a part in my initial taste review. Definitely want to go back and try something chocolatey next time!

New favorite dessert shop!!! I came in on a Try-it Tuesday & had the chocolate caramel cake, which was SO delicious! The shop is an absolute dream, with plants, homemade products, coffee & alcohol available to purchase. The space is decorated with lots of plants & has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere, with places to sit and relax while you eat. The workers were very kind and helped me to pick out what to try since it was a bit overwhelming at first glance. Will definitely be back to try more!!!

The best array of desserts you've ever seen in your life is waiting for you in Richmond, Virginia. Shyndigz is NEXT LEVEL for desserts; some of their greatest are the layer cakes, as seen here. I have never enjoyed fruitcake in my life, in fact prior to trying Shyndigz, I was grossed out by even hearing about fruitcake. I would think of the kind that is preserved and sold in boxes at Christmastime. But THIS IS NOT THAT. OH. MY. WORD. This fruitcake is OTHER WORLDLY. It is the most delicious white cake, frosting, and layers of fresh fruits such as blackberries and kiwi between the layers. Just one piece of the cake is enough to serve several people. In addition to these outlandishly good layer cakes, they have yummy treats such as lemon bars, cookies, brownies, and THE most delicious rice krispy treats you've ever had. Along with the fab desserts, they have a lot of unique merchandise such as local Richmond merch as well as other cool stuff. Their new expanded location lends itself to a great place to meet a friend for dessert and coffee. My husband and I have brought so many people to Shyndigz, and will continue to do so!

Cakes all are phenomenal. Slightly disappointed with the fruit cake because it was so hyped, but every other cake was incredible. All moist and flavorful, and icing top-notch. Wish they had a location in NOVA!

I LOVE the new location. Shyndigz is definitely the dessert go to I say anyone who is going to RVA has to visit. As someone who despises parallel parking I love that they have a little lot to park in now. Once you enter in you are greeted by a coffee type location and more savory food offerings. I went in there specifically to either get a slice of Gluten free cake or possibly the banana pudding if it was available. I ended up getting the creme brulee. I think it's cool that they sugar and torch it right in front of you. The line was long buy that was to be expected. They also had takeaway items that you could bake at home, savory and sweet. Since I live over an hour away, I'll definitely check their menu offerings for gf before visiting again. I'd love to sit inside for awhile and enjoy the environment.

Friday 3/22/2024 This spot right here is THE ONE. I called ahead to ask about the availability of specific items and the lady working was kind and very helpful. They have a multitude of different baked goods and sweets that would satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. I got the pecan strussel bread pudding $13, carrot cake slice $11, and a prepacked pint of their Oreo ice cream $9. - Pecan strussel bread pudding * this was amazing and insanely delicious but what really brings it together is the side praline sauce that i definitely needed more of due to it being so good. * I can confidentially say that it's tied for the best bread pudding I've ever had (tied with famous Dave's bread pudding). - carrot cake slice * it was pretty decent and the "slice" is a big piece so I'd say you definitely get what you pay for. - prepacked Oreo pint * my least favorite of the 3 items but it was still solid. * the cookies n cream texture reminded me of brownie/cake peices rather than the cookie peices that I'm used to and the ice cream was more of a chocolate base rather than a classic vanilla base. This place deserves all the attention and more. I will 100% come back if I'm ever in the Richmond area and obviously I highly recommend this spot for anyone who's likes desserts or baked goods (trust me they will have something for your taste buds).

Stepping into this dessert paradise is like entering a realm of sweet dreams come true! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by an irresistible array of confectionery delights that tantalize the senses. The variety is simply astounding, catering to every palate and preference imaginable. But amidst this sea of sweetness, one standout treat reigns supreme: the legendary "Swamp Pie." This indulgent masterpiece is a symphony of flavors and textures, with layers of rich chocolate, crunchy rice crispies, creamy peanut butter, and gooey marshmallow, all harmonizing to create a decadent delight that's simply irresistible.

INSANE. DECADENT. DELICIOUS. This is probably the best cake I have ever had or ever will have. Take note though, 5 of us could barely even finish this humungous peice of cake. Go for the half size.
