Good place, but we were a little disappointed based on the 4.9 star rating by others. The pastries were decent, but didn't quite meet the level of other reviews unfortunately. I wish we had sampled a greater array of food while there, but our 3 items were all in the 3-4 star range taste-wise. We happened to be in Virginia Beach the day a tropical storm arrived, and May's was a great place to warm up and dry out! The decor and atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming, and the staff was excellent.

Absolutely a gift to the local community. May's Parlor is one of the few, rare locations where you can find from-scratch, handmade baked goods — and the food never disappoints. From the pastry counter featuring a variety of sweet and savory items, to the friendly, hard-working team and thoughtful service, you'll be hard-pressed to find a local business with as much heart and soul as this one. Within it's first 3 years, May's Parlor has become a local staple and community gem. Racheal and her team are dedicated to delivering consistent, friendly service, and their hard work and kindness in the face of this pandemic is just as admirable, appreciated, and uplifting as it is unsurprising — community support comes naturally to this team, and we as a community are proud to support May's Parlor. Be sure to stop by, say hello, and enjoy some excellent European-style pastries right at the oceanfront.

A really excellent little Pattiserie right near the beach. They have an ample selection of sweet and savory pastries and delightful staff to hand it to you! I highly suggest this as a relaxing place to catch a breakfast which they serve all day. Their quiche was served hot out of the oven and was super light and fluffy.

Unique little bakery with really good and fresh croissants and muffins. Everything i tried was great. It is a must visit place in VA Beach. It's too bad that they close Sundays and Mondays and close early! A year later and this place still delivers except food. Must ry if you're in VA Beach

We ordered takeout here 3x while on vacation for only 5-6 days at VA beach. That's how good the food was. All the locals know about Mays, which is always a good sign. What we ordered: 1. Breakfast sandwiches - Delicious. Generous amounts of bacon and egg, good spread and good buns. Get some! 2. Lunch sandwich - was just okay. Generous amounts of salmon, but was a bit salty for me. I might just not be a fan of salmon caper sandwiches, so it might just be me. 3. Danish - AMAZING. My favorite. Wife brought an air fryer with us (don't ask) and 4 danishes in the air fryer for 3mins, and it's Perfect. 4. Croissants were good. Cookies were sieable but we're just okay, not amazing and not bad. Croffins were okay. 5. Latte drinks were good

At May's Parlor, you will always find the most deliciously delicate pastries and desserts. Not pictured was a very light, buttery, flakey croissant that paired perfectly with an iced latte.

We went here when visiting VB. It was so good we had to go back the next day. The ice coffee is great but the highlight are the pastries. We had almond croissants which were delicious. The breakfast was also amazing as I had a sandwich with egg, bacon, cheese and garlic aioli. When I return to VB I will definitely come back to try the quiche and more pastries!

We got carryout and took it back to our balcony. SO GOOD! The quiche was tender and moist despite being thicker than some cakes I have seen. The crust is clearly made from scratch and super good! We also got the chocolate almond croissant (killer!!!) a blueberry scone (yum!) and a slice of pineapple coconut Cake (yes for breakfast, it’s vacation!) which was stunning. Topped it off with raspberry white chocolate lattes and it was a perfect breakfast!

Cute coffee/bakery/breakfast/lunch place. Excellent pastries and great service. Seating is limited both inside and out and they are popular so be prepared to wait for a seat.

My favorite local spot for fresh and amazing pastries and lunch. Great tea and coffee selection! Porch, outdoor and inside seating available. Staff is always kind, inviting and courteous. Highly recommend!!

After searching for a longgggg time to find someone to do a "wedding cheesecake" for our wedding back in October, we finally found May's Parlor! We frequent there often on the weekends for their tasty coffee and bakery items, but had not realized they would be able to help us with our catering needs! Racheal (unbeknownst to me that she was the owner) was absolutely AMAZING to work with! She got us a beautiful cheesecake for my husband and I to cut at our reception and small mini cheesecakes for the guests! She was even kind enough to offer additional assistance for drop off and storage so that our order would not be sitting out all night while we were enjoying our wedding festivities. After realizing she was the owner, I asked her to call me so I could personally thank her for all of her help! She is running an amazing, not so small anymore, WOMAN OWNED business. Everyone should check out her oceanfront and new Norfolk locations! Thank you so much again to Racheal and her staff for such an amazing experience!

Hands down the absolute BEST pastries and baked goods I've ever had! The cheesecake was absolutely amazing! My daughter and I also loved the macarons! And the huge lemon cookie, and the orange and cranberry scones. I was lucky to go there before any large crowds starting showing up. It would be worth waiting for though if there had been a line!

May's Parlor is a good place to stop by for a quick bite and coffee. Has the vibe of a quaint beach style coffee/pastry shop. The pastries were tasty and fresh and the daily specials for sandwiches (see attached pics) were appetizing as well. Parking is limited, it's probably best to walk in.

Do yourself a favor and visit the bakery! Every pastry that I have tried from this bakery has been delicious! Their pastries are very filling. The cookies are the size of a little kid’s head. My kid was able to cover their entire face with their giant cookie. You cannot go wrong with the chocolate almond croissant.

The best bakery in VB hands down. Amazing quiche and pastries. Their lunch specials are also quite tasty. Have never had anything I didn’t love from here.

Absolutely loved this super adorable place! Their selection of baked goodies is fantastic, and the macaroons, especially the rose and lavender ones, were simply amazing! The almond croissant was delicious, and the coffee was top-notch! Highly recommend!

Cozy. Good food. Fair price. We had quiche which was very fluffy. Egg sammiches were also good. On onion brioche bread that was very tasty. We'll be back. Cinnamon roll was very good. Not oberseasoned with cinnamon. Icing was delicious.

Great place for coffee while at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. Great customer service. Great location. Warm and friendly. Reasonable prices. Tasty pastries.

After looking for a coffee after first night staying at VA Beach, I was blessed to discover this quaint, little coffee shop a few steps from my hotel and the beach. Coffees were great and so was the cinnamon roll my family shared. Couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent place .. super friendly staff. Hot chocolate smooth and delicious so was carrot cake and chocolate cake . definitely Worth going to for sweets or just to grab a coffee or pastry

One of my favorite local places. I have loved everything I’ve tried. It’s a Saturday go to and it’s a must to order all the weekly specials to share (or not). I’m so excited to keep watching this place grow and try all the new menu items they create!

Stopped by May’s looking to satisfy my sweet fix during my stay at the nearby Hyatt House. Lots of interesting baked good/pastry options. I grabbed some random items (chocolate crinkle cookie, blueberry scone and cinnamon bun) and all were winners…some of the best I’ve had. Prices seemed very fair ($2.75 cookies, $3.50-$5 pastries, and $3-$5 drinks). There also offer a variety of sandwiches which were about $10-12. There is both indoor and outdoor tables/chairs. The space is very neat and well-kept. All staff I encountered there were helpful and efficient.

This bakery is amazing! The quiche looked like it could feed a big family. Really wish we took one home. Pastries all huge and fresh. And great coffee. Friendly service. Opens at 7 a.m., only wish it were earlier for our walk to beach at sunrise

Right off of Pacific Avenue, this place serves up some of the best pastries and breakfast treats. Their Bacon Egg and Cheese is by far one of the best I've had. All locals in VB should already know of this place, if you don't, make a plan to visit very soon! If your a tourist passing through our fun city, be sure to give these guys a try, you will not be disappointed!! Enjoy!!

I got 2 lattes (Salted Maple White Mocha + the Caramel Apple Pie latte) and 2 macarons. The lattes were pretty good and the macarons were also tasty. Although, the chocolate ganache macaron wasn’t very flaky on the outside meringue. Since the inside is very chewy, I like when the macaron is crunchy on the outside - whereas with this one, it all sort of melded together. Although it wasn’t crunchy on the outside, the flavors were still delicious. The latte was okay, though I could probably take it or leave it. It’s a cute spot by the beach to try though, just be prepared to wait a little while. It seems to be a popular place, so you’ll likely run into a line. I’d recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

If you live in Virginia Beach or are visiting Virginia Beach and haven’t been to May’s, you’re missing out! This small, locally owned business is the literal best. They pour their heart and soul into their baking and you can tell. Everything I’ve had from here has been so delicious. It’s my boyfriend’s and I’s favorite place to treat ourselves to on the weekends. Their pastries, the quiches, everything is melt in your mouth delicious. Yes, sometimes there’s a line but they do pretty well to serve you quickly. There’s an inside and outside seating area. Local approved.
