May's Parlor

Stopped by May’s looking to satisfy my sweet fix during my stay at the nearby Hyatt House.

Lots of interesting baked good/pastry options. I grabbed some random items (chocolate crinkle cookie, blueberry scone and cinnamon bun) and all were winners…some of the best I’ve had. Prices seemed very fair ($2.75 cookies, $3.50-$5 pastries, and $3-$5 drinks). There also offer a variety of sandwiches which were about $10-12.

There is both indoor and outdoor tables/chairs. The space is very neat and well-kept.

All staff I encountered there were helpful and efficient.

We got carryout and took it back to our balcony. SO GOOD! The quiche was tender and moist despite being thicker than some cakes I have seen. The crust is clearly made from scratch and super good! We also got the chocolate almond croissant (killer!!!) a blueberry scone (yum!) and a slice of pineapple coconut Cake (yes for breakfast, it’s vacation!) which was stunning. Topped it off with raspberry white chocolate lattes and it was a perfect breakfast!

A really excellent little Pattiserie right near the beach. They have an ample selection of sweet and savory pastries and delightful staff to hand it to you! I highly suggest this as a relaxing place to catch a breakfast which they serve all day. Their quiche was served hot out of the oven and was super light and fluffy.

Unique little bakery with really good and fresh croissants and muffins. Everything i tried was great. It is a must visit place in VA Beach. It's too bad that they close Sundays and Mondays and close early!

One of my favorite local places. I have loved everything I’ve tried. It’s a Saturday go to and it’s a must to order all the weekly specials to share (or not). I’m so excited to keep watching this place grow and try all the new menu items they create!

May's Parlor is a good place to stop by for a quick bite and coffee. Has the vibe of a quaint beach style coffee/pastry shop. The pastries were tasty and fresh and the daily specials for sandwiches (see attached pics) were appetizing as well. Parking is limited, it's probably best to walk in.

Great place for coffee while at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
Great customer service.
Great location.
Warm and friendly.
Reasonable prices.
Tasty pastries.

After searching for a longgggg time to find someone to do a "wedding cheesecake" for our wedding back in October, we finally found May's Parlor! We frequent there often on the weekends for their tasty coffee and bakery items, but had not realized they would be able to help us with our catering needs! Racheal (unbeknownst to me that she was the owner) was absolutely AMAZING to work with! She got us a beautiful cheesecake for my husband and I to cut at our reception and small mini cheesecakes for the guests! She was even kind enough to offer additional assistance for drop off and storage so that our order would not be sitting out all night while we were enjoying our wedding festivities. After realizing she was the owner, I asked her to call me so I could personally thank her for all of her help! She is running an amazing, not so small anymore, WOMAN OWNED business. Everyone should check out her oceanfront and new Norfolk locations! Thank you so much again to Racheal and her staff for such an amazing experience!

My favorite local spot for fresh and amazing pastries and lunch. Great tea and coffee selection! Porch, outdoor and inside seating available. Staff is always kind, inviting and courteous. Highly recommend!!

We ordered takeout here 3x while on vacation for only 5-6 days at VA beach. That's how good the food was. All the locals know about Mays, which is always a good sign. What we ordered:

1. Breakfast sandwiches - Delicious. Generous amounts of bacon and egg, good spread and good buns. Get some!

2. Lunch sandwich - was just okay. Generous amounts of salmon, but was a bit salty for me. I might just not be a fan of salmon caper sandwiches, so it might just be me.

3. Danish - AMAZING. My favorite. Wife brought an air fryer with us (don't ask) and 4 danishes in the air fryer for 3mins, and it's Perfect.

4. Croissants were good. Cookies were sieable but we're just okay, not amazing and not bad. Croffins were okay.

5. Latte drinks were good
