Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Portsmouth

"The central communal table sets the tone for this arty, airy lunch spot in the creative ViBe district of Virginia Beach. Using 90% locally sourced ingredients (and aiming for 100%), Commune creates fresh and delicious plates in house, every day. Featuring guilty-pleasures and green options too, it’s an unexpected crowd-pleaser, with dishes like the sweet-potato hash tots drizzled in honey and served with a sweet mustard-aioli, changing everything you thought you knew about potato-cravings."

"Virginia Beach’s first farmer owned eatery uses sustainable, seasonal and local ingredients (many from the on-site garden) to make unbelievably delicious and memorable food. Surprising ingredient combinations result in unexpected flavors, so be prepared to fall in love with Commune at first bite. Staying true to its name, seating is community-style with tables and counters, but it’s a fairly small place, so go early if you’re on a time crunch, or just grab something from the bakery."

"Three Ships Coffee Roasters has house roasts, cold brews and pour overs ready to be served up by the awesome staff. This place isn’t just about coffee, it’s about specialty roasted coffee. Brad and Amy, the owners, are zealous about all aspects of their business and it shows."

"Three Ships Coffee Roasters provides Virginia Beach locals and tourists with amazing coffee and a very memorable experience. Three Ships Coffee proves that less is more when they brew their coffee. They brew their coffee in small batches."

"Unlike other ice cream parlors, Ben & Jerry’s carries a range of frozen desserts. Enjoy your favorite ice cream flavors, fro-yos and even sorbet. Buy a scoop or take home a pint of their signature offerings like Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey, and Phish Food."

"Next up is West Freemason's Hummingbird Macarons & Desserts, situated at 265 W. Tazewell St. With 4.5 stars out of 200 reviews on Yelp, the spot to score desserts and macarons has proven to be a local favorite."

For an insanely good nighttime treat, try a strawberry cheesecake donut sundae, complete with whipped cream and a cherry."

What began as a delivery service, is now offering a permanent location where they scoop out rotating favorites like the Pungo Strawberry Ice Cream, the cookie monster, and their classic vanilla. They recently opened a new location in Loehmann’s Plaza as well and are sold at various VB locations such as the Sage Kitchen and Back Bay’s Farmhouse Brewing Co."

Homemade flavors like Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Sheet Cake, Breakfast Goals Ice Cream, Crunchy Munchy, and the ever-popular Cookie Monster, it is easy to see why this spot is popular with locals and tourists alike. Make sure you try some of Lolly's Sauce on top of your sundae - you won't be sorry."
