Albemarle Baking Co

My brother ordered a cake for my birthday. It also happened to be Thanksgiving week and they were super busy. We had the Albemarle. It was beautifully decorated, so decadent and rich, but not overly sweet. Very friendly and fast customer service.

A classic Charlottesville bakery. Highly recommend a visit. The cakes are the go to cakes for the entire family’s birthdays. There is something for everyone here. If you can get there early that is the best time. My favorites are the lemon and chocolate chip cookies, princess cake, and the Albemarle cake. The eclairs and macarons are also “usuals.” The bakery has an excellent pick up and online ordering system as well. We are fortunate to have this bakery (and the owners) in our community.

You must go!! Cool vibes and inviting atmosphere with amazing smells! I have been 2x and will be back the next time I am in the area! I had the princess cake, it was light, fluffy and delicious 😋

Phenomenal pastries for any occasion. Wonderful cakes, cupcakes, tarts, cookies and breads. I ordered a lovely cake and assorted pastries for a tea party at my house. They were perfect! I stop in any chance I get.

Ordered a birthday cake for my mothers 91st Birthday party. I have never been so disappointed. The cake was pretty on the outside, but the cake was terrible. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I didn’t say anything , but I didn’t have to. The people that attended the birthday party let me know secretly, and then my mother ask me the next day where did you get that cake? She said it was a beautiful thought but n
