    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!)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    My daughter bought the hummingbird/carrot cake while I was up for a visit for my birthday and “Oh my! I didn’t know if the remainder of the cake would make it home after she loaded it in the car! It was so very good! Everyone got to experience a slice of an amazing cake! Job well done!

    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!

    I worked with Laura as a vendor for a wedding. She made a cake and LOTS of delicious mini cheese cakes, cupcakes, and mini pies. The only one I had a chance to try was the mini cheesecake. It was PERFECTION!!! I can only assume that everything she makes is just as delicious. She was sweet to work with and very responsive. 10/10 recommend working with her and/or purchasing her desserts!!!

    Best cupcakes! Must try Buttermilk Bake shop - worth the drive to Petersburg. We also sampled their cakes in 821 Cafe in downtown Richmond. We called ahead & custom ordered cupcakes with special vegan icing with strawberry filling. Great service & the best baked goods around!

    I had a piece of hummingbird cake for my birthday and it was delicious. Oscar had a pumpkin heart-shaped biscuit to help me celebrate.

    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)

    I'm here in Virginia coming from Philadelphia visiting my daughter & wanted something sweet. Well I went to buttermilk bake shop & decided to get 4 cupcakes,3 small cheesecakes & a few donuts. I approached the young man to place my order & asked if he could remove the icing off 2 of the donuts due to cheese being in the icing & sugar being on the other. I ended up leaving with my $40 due to him being rude about me not wanting the icing. If I'm paying why complain. This was my first time there & definitely my last time there.

    My husband and I just moved to the area and wanted to try out this cute spot. Do. Not. Sleep. On. The. Vegan. Donuts. I REPEAT! Don’t sleep on the vegan donuts! Even if you’re a hard core “I only eat grilled meat while sloshing down gallons of whole milk” type of person.. we aren’t vegan, but they caught our eye. And Oh my gosh! So glad we gave them a go! So delicious! The donut pastry is stretchy, chewy, and soft.. mind you, we bought them just before close, too, and they were as if they were just made! Can’t wait to go back again!

    Ordered Butterfly cake for grandsons birthday. The cake was absolutely delicious. All guests we amazed by the taste. It is by far the best cake ever and well worth the cost.

    The ginger molasses cookies was absolutely wonderful!! The flavor was incredible and it held up in our warm car. Thanks to the young man who recommended his Mom’s cookie!

    I had some donuts, cupcakes, fritters from this place and it's all so amazing, you can get anything from here and it's going to be 5 stars

  • 5/5 Liz K. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend. Staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the desserts. They recommended the Hummingbird cake and it was phenomenal-rich with the perfect balance of coconut, pecan, and banana (flavors that I don't like much individually, but it works so well together). I tried the cinnamon roll and the carrot cake cupcake. Everything was rich and perfectly moist. I paired them with soy milk as it would have been a little too sweet for my tastes without. I look forward to visiting again.

    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.

    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.
