Roela's Bakery — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

Not a winner for me. The lady who boxed my selections and checked out was very nice, but the items were not good.

I was excited to see pandan and ube items. Sadly,while green and purple, they almost tasted the same in the Crinkle Cookies, which were VERY dense. They were nearly frozen when I bought them, but I tried again when they were warmer... still not good.

The powdered sugar on the ube crinkles had crystallized... likely a moisture issue.

The Chocolate Crinkle, also dense and stiff, reminded me of a very dense, quite sweet brownie. Not a winner for me.

The apricot bar actually cracked completely through... it was that hard.

I had hopes for the Greek item, reportedly made with honey & orange pail dough wrapped around some sort of a chocolate darker center... the honey/orange part was good and obviously had honey kerpibg it moist. The center was the texture of a dry bagel, and not enjoyable.

I really wanted to love this location. If I were to guess, I wonder if they make massive batches, then keep them as cold as possible (maybe even freezing them) hoping to keep them fresh, but...

I love the idea of this bakery. Unique concept with Greek and Filipino bakery style items.

However, the bakery items were stale and lacked flavoring. I order the ube cheesecake bar and it was hard as a rock and the cheesecake was dried. The s'mores cookie was stale and cold and it was almost inedible. The macarons were frozen when I received them so I waited a few hours to try them. When I tasted the macaron it was also stale and had a funny taste probably due to the age of the product.

Unfortunately I had to throw everything away and wasted $15. The customer service was great and I was hoping everything would turn out great but I was left...

This is a small bakery located right off of Holland Rd. and Lynnhaven Pkwy. It’s very easy to miss. A customer of mine recommended I try this place out and I’m SO glad I did. I ordered a pork empanada and the Moringa Pan De Sal (bread roll). The empanada was filling and slightly crispy around the edges and the Pan De Sal was light and fluffy. They served each of the items I ordered hot and fresh. Everything was delicious. The only thing I suggest is for them to allow single orders of Pan De Sal. I wanted to purchase just one since, you know, carbs, but they sell by the dozen. I’ve eaten 3 so far with no...
