Ginger Sweets Pastry Cafe
1400 Kempsville Rd, Chesapeake, VA
Crema's Take
“Ginger Sweets is where Bailey and her dedicated team transform weekend visits into mini-adventures, rotating themed menus (think Shrek and literary-inspired drinks) that keep regulars coming back to discover what's next. Beyond the rotating creativity, they're serious about their craft—handcrafted specialty drinks made with homemade syrups, buttery pastries, and a matcha that's genuinely smooth and well-balanced, all served by people who make you feel like an old friend the moment you walk in. It's the rare coffee shop where the hospitality, the pastries, and the carefully considered drinks all deserve equal attention.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Stopped in during a Shrek-themed weekend, which was really fun. All the items were themed, and they apparently change themes every weekend (you can follow along on Instagram). The Love Potion was really good, and the macaron was enjoyable. The brownie was a standard thick…
TL,DR: Homemade sweet & savory treats, handcrafted drinks with homemade syrups, and a local, small business - it is kind of perfection! Even the sweet treats weren’t too sweet & the matcha as smooth as could be. Friendly staff and some non-food goodies that are curated for the…
