Cake Bloom - Charlottesville

I was torn between and 3 and a 4 star. We went for afternoon tea today which was sadly disappointing. The tea sandwiches, while tasting wonderful, were on extremely dry bread. The scone was over baked, dry, and hard. The cookies were delightful. I was excited to try the Magic Blue tea served with lemon simple syrup. It was not syrup, it was just lemon juice. Had to ask for sugar after 20 minutes. The saving grace was the sample cakes we purchased. The tiramisu, carrot, and vanilla slices were amazing. I'm sorry, $25 per person for an afternoon tea experience here is not worth it. Stick to the cakes, you won't be disappointed in them.

We loved working with cake bloom! We wanted a small, two-tier cake for us to cut during our wedding reception. We chose another dessert option to serve to our guests vs. serving cake. We purchased their five-slice sampler (each one was delicious! to make the decision of our cake flavors. We are not local, so they were flexible and waited until we were in town about a month before the wedding to pick up the samples and make our decision. The cake was exactly what we were wanting and the floral additions were beautiful. We definitely recommend Cake Bloom if you’re looking for a small cake for your wedding or event.

Second afternoon tea service here and I am excited to go back again. The food and service are wonderful! Loved the seasonal offerings, and online booking was easy. Thank you Cake Bloom!

My husband and I ordered a large floral funfetti Blue Ridge Fog cake from Cake Bloom for our post elopement dinner. It was super tasty and visually beautiful. Highly recommend them! Also their shop is adorable :

Been coming here since they opened a few years ago. Always kind service and the cakes and food are amazing. Came here recently again with my boyfriend for a wine and thanksgiving tasting and it was fun and my boyfriend actually enjoyed it just as much a did. Also came here last year for a oyster and champagne tasting event and it was so fun! Definitely recommend! Their full cakes are a little pricey for the size but are so tasty and good quality.
