Rise Bakery — Restaurant in Virginia

My family and I were staying in the area for a medical visit when we decided we wanted cupcakes one evening. Not being from the area, we started a search on Google. We found Rise which was close to the hotel we were staying at. We arrived about 15 minutes before they closed. Selection was low but we couldn't expect more being so close to closing time. There were 3 flavors left. Not normally any 3 I would have chosen. But, I thought, I'll give it a try. I ordered a choclate with choclate icing. My husband ordered carrots cake.
