Crema's Take
“Melissa's Cake & More is a beloved neighborhood bakery in Richmond known for stunning custom cakes and traditional coffee drinks, best enjoyed as a leisurely sit-down experience with pastries in hand. The shop carries real family warmth and has built a loyal following over the years for their intricate cake designs, though recent reviews suggest service consistency has become inconsistent. If you're seeking a cozy spot to linger over coffee and pastries with genuine personality, the charm is still there—just manage expectations on the execution side.”

Besides being charged twice. It was delicious 😋 as usual love these 🎂 🥰
They will take your order and charge you more and tell you next time not to come back. EXTREMELY rude customer service.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I remember 5 years ago, this was THE place to get cakes for parties. If somebody mentioned Melissa, everyone would know it was going to be GOOD cake.. Now you get a totally different reaction The staff is friendly enough. They treat you with the bare minimum level of politeness. No more, no less The decrease in cake quality has been nothing but staggering. Tres leches cakes somehow manage to always be dry. They don't put the same effort on the cake decoration as they used to. I would shop elsewhere for cake if you have the option.
My nephew and I went here didn't know it was a Latino business because of the name no one spoke or understood English not sure if it was Melissa who came from the back to help us she had to use her phone to translate what she was saying to us finally placed the order but no idea what she meant by saying the cake would be three milk... anyhoo will write update review once we pick it up on the 17th
We ordered a black and white (j cole)chocolate tres leches cake with black hearts but instead was given a vanilla pink gender reveal looking cake. They took it upon themselves to make all these changes. A phone call asking for a 2nd option would have been the least that could’ve been done. Someone picked it up for me with out checking the cake. The taste was overall good(2 stars) but I will not be ordering another!
