Chandler's Bakery — Restaurant in Hollymead

My favorite birthday cake is cannoli cake. My husband usually gets it elsewhere but came to Chandlers bakery this year. We've gotten other things here in the past. They told him he had to choose between a rum soaked or cherry soaked cannoli cake. He said he didn't want either. Just a plain regular cannoli cake. That's what I like!! He was told he had to pick one of the soaked versions because that's how they do it. It wouldn't be overpowering in taste. Well... they lied. It was absolutely disgusting. All I taste is rum and I can't eat this nasty cake. Thank you for ruining my birthday and making him take something he didn't want. You could have made it without soaking it in anything!!! What a waste of $50. You also closed the lid on the top of cake and took all the writing off of it. Either way, it was disgusting. If I wanted a bottle of rum, I would...

Chandler's Bakery is one of the oldest and most familiar bakeries in the Charlottesville area. It's a wonderful experience to go in and see the artistry of so many beautiful and tasty treats.

Chandler's has four dedicated cases of single desserts that are sure to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. My favorite are the key lime pie "minis" and the raspberry mousse cupcakes - simply divine!

They also are masters of whole cake design and can do juat about anything you can dream up. Whole cakes available for immediate purchase as well.

The staff are pleasant and welcoming and will answer any questions you may have. It is definitely worth a visit - I am positive you will leave Chandler's with something delicious 😋

I called ahead and asked for a chocolate cake. I was told they only have butter cream and chocolate cake. I drove 25 miles one way to get it. When I got there I noticed there was a chocolate cake in the case. The manager refused to sell it to me saying it was more expensive and they had already written on the one I bought. I got home and cut the cake and they had written in bright blue gel on a cream colored cake with brown flowers. Horrible. THEN THE CAKE WAS WHITE. I will be back on Tuesday to get my money back. Horrible service, lying about what they are selling and refusing to sell what was asked for. Getting rid of a stale old white cake at 430pm on a Saturday thinking I wouldn't care. See you Tuesday with...
