their Boston Creme Pie is the best ever; just like the kind I was brought up with when I was a kid. The cake is light and tender and the custard is just delicious! My kids thought it was the perfect food when first introduced to this yummy confection!

I absolutely love their strawberry cake. It's not too sweet and the cake layers are fluffy and light. Their cookies are quite tasty as well and very cutely decorated!

My husband's family has been coming to Virginia Bakery for generations. Consistently good cakes, cookies and the butter cream tart is to die for!! I have ordered several cakes and have never had an issue.

It's your standard bakery. For some weird reason it reminds me of bakery's in LA. Maybe it's the era of the cases inside?

You can buy individual cupcakes. It's like it was someone's birthday in your third grade class all over again. While they aren't as good as the Cupcakery up the street they're A) cheaper and B) more authentic to that store-bought/box cupcake experience. Yes, I am counting this as a definite plus.

Also, if you want any kind of themed sheet cake, this is the place to go. Grocery stores in Berkeley either have weak or non-existent bakery services and gourmet bakeries just won't do a football or Pokemon cake.

Virginia Bakery is a famous landmark in Berkeley. It is one of the few remaining traditional bakeries in the East Bay. Their cakes are popular favorites for birthdays and special occasions including weddings. A popular favorite that quickly sells out is their excellent champagne cake All their cookies and other baked delicacies are also delicious. Friday and Saturday are very busy as the bakery is closed on Sunday. A small parking lot is located behind the bakery.
