“Stopped by Gigi's while in town this evening per reccomendation of a local friend, and as a former heavy bubble tea drinker, this place EASILY has the freshest tasting tea I've ever had. The owner is very kind and she and her husband work hard for their small business. This place gets way less traffic than it should.Don't let the smoke and mirrors of the corporate chain bubble tea places in the surrounding vicinity fool you. Gigi's is hands down the best in the area ??“

Flight of Flavors

“Probably my favorite ice cream in Richmond!I just love how the flavors are sometimes experimental, always exciting, thematic, and most of all they are FLAVORFUL ?I get kind of annoyed when places say an ice cream is, for example, matcha flavored or Thai tea and it barely tastes like it- here it's unmistakable like the flavor is super powerful and tastes like the real thing (that passionfruit sorbet is heavenly)Love you guys!“

“Always have great flavor options and variety. Milk teas are good and come in a cute container. Corn dogs seems to be a hit or miss, sometimes they’re a bit soft.Service is slow even if they’re not really busy. Inside is cute and they have a good amount of seating. It is a bit expensive but it’s also something you can’t really get most places, so it’s worth it.“

“My little sister took me here while I was visiting her for a day. I tried the Gold Rush, and it was undoubtedly one of the best ice creams I've ever had. We bought two pints for the road.

Ray's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard Ice Cream Shop • $

“Ray's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard is one of my favorite ice cream places here in Virginia. There are many flavors and toppings to choose from. The ice cream is tasty and the texture of the custard is buttery soft. In addition, the staff is friendly and quick. It’s important to note the seating is restricted to outside, and there aren’t many seats available. I usually eat my ice cream in the car or take it home. I definitely recommend Ray's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard as it’s delicious!“

The cupcakes are stunning, I know they’re going to be delicious but even if they weren’t, the customer service here sold me well enough to come again. I really just walked in for birthday dog treats and left with 4 cupcakes ??“

The chocolate creme filled is my fave, however, the white iced and glazed braid ones are delicious as well. I agree with other reviewers when I say coffee should definitely be added to the menu.

“Check the hours before heading over. The shop has free 3 hr street parking outside if you get lucky. The side has a ramp into the shop. We didn't see much of the bakery today, but the ice cream satisfied two kiddies and a grown up(espresso Oreo). There is a restroom for customers only. Quite a few shops on this street didn't have restrooms. The waffle cones are the familiar brand of "Joy". The shop has many seats and tables inside. The view is Byrd Theatre and the cool shop Bygones. I could imagine myself spending a couple of hours enjoying desserts, coffee, bakery,... here.Parking: Free 3 hr street parking if you are luckyKid-friendliness: Kid's size ice creamMy kids love themWheelchair accessibility: The side of the shop has an outdoor ramp up into its side door.“

“This place is unassuming, but as far as to-go breakfast is concerned, it is much better than I expected. I had probably the best breakfast burrito I have ever had anywhere (I added tomato and avocado to it), the breakfast sandwich on a bagel was pretty good, as was the thai coffee and the latte. One thing was outstanding (the burrito) and the rest were just slightly above average. The online ordering system was convenient as well.“

Chocolate Milk Shake

“This was the perfect place to take my honey for a Birthday treat. The outrageous milkshakes, along with their mandatory photoshoot, were a lot of fun. Some of those things look like they were pulled straight out of a cartoon.My MHB shake gave me some serious Xzibit vibes. "Yo, we heard you like peanut butter, so we made your milkshake with peanut butter, a peanut butter cup, and a peanut butter swirl. Then we topped it all with a slice of peanut butter pie, so you can peanut butter while you peanut butter."They offer much more than milkshakes and you're guaranteed to satisfy the sweetest tooth ya got between all the different treats they have. I would also highly recommend the Lavender Lemonade. Good stuff!“

“This place is really amazing! Their piñatas are cute too. A nice selection of snacks and was excited when I saw a few chip brands I like. I recommend the rusa, taki esquites, and the mango raspado de mango! The only reason why I put 4 stars was because the 2 ladies working were completely rude to me and were talking bad about me and thought I couldn't understand them. Also my de mango was missing a few things but I came maybe 2ish hours before close so I can understand being annoyed to make a few things but come on now just be nice please.. Being rude gets you nowhere in life. Love this place though!“

“OK Yall another Hidden Gem. My hunny brought me here for Valentines Day 2024. Well whenever reviewing a Candy spot I usually start with the fudge. NOW before I say this know that I am very picky I had the Chocolate and the Salted Carmel Fudge. Both were good, just not great and it had a funky aftertaste that I could not quite but my hand on. But I also got a Cashew Bear Claw and that was amazing let me tell you. I want to come back and give some other candies and truffles a try.“
