Amphora Bakery

I always have a difficult time choosing a cake or pastry when I go to Amphora, so usually I over-buy. Alas, everything is so expensive, so I don't go often. I understand the prices; the ingredients are top-notch and the labor involved in making such fancy treats is obvious. This is for very special occasions only. (one star off for price)

One of my favorite places in Northern Virginia. Love looking at all of the cake and cookie designs. You can order a cup of coffee and a small dessert and sit up on the mezzanine and watch them bake and decorate wedding cakes. And everything tastes amazing!

Sorry but this place is getting a One Star only because I have to click it on in order to post this review. This review comes with a warning!!!!! They will not refund your money even when it is clearly THEIR FAULT. It's not complicated people!!! I ordered a Vanilla Cake with Raspberry buttercream frosting for a baby Shower. My son and his pregnant wife HATE chocolate. Guess what was under the icing when they cut the cake!!! Yup, you guessed it, CHOCOLATE. Neither one of them had a piece of their own shower cake. I paid $117.00 for a cake I didn't ask for. I have the confirmation that clearly states VANILLA CAKE and I provided the picture of the cut cake for proof. I went to the store to file a complaint and was told that it would be submitted to "corporate"..... blah blah blah and that they almost never provide a refund. I haven't heard back from them yet and it's been over a week. Again, how complicated is it to make a cake???? Expect to get RIPPED OFF. Buyer Beware!!

I don't want to give negative review if I don't like it. But, I must give suggestion if someone trying to buy a cake for small kids. I bought cake for my baby's first birthday and the cake was awesome. But, my bad luck after baby tasting that cake, her face become red and swelling. Something my baby is allergic to it. She ate cake earlier and nothing happened. So, my simple suggestion, check with them what they mix in the cake each and everything before buying and take blame yourself if something happens. They won't suggest what might allergic to kids.

Amphora Bakery is my favorite bakery in the area. Their cakes and pies are amazing. They are beautifully and decorated with perfection. The only time I see slight imperfections is when the strawberries are not in season. As a result, the strawberries are not bright red and perfectly shaped. They sell cookies, cupcakes, individual smaller slices of cakes, whole cakes, pastries, custom cakes, etc... Their cannollis are delicious, too. Customer service is excellent. I wanted a cake that they regularly have available, and I called the day before and they reserved it for me to pick up the next day. Because this bakery location was closed that day, I was able to conveniently pick it up at the Amphora Deluxe Diner down the street, which opens 24/7. Their cake prices range from around $30 or more. The individual pieces of cake are about $4 -5 each. If you are price sensitive, don't be afraid to ask, because there are no prices displayed by the cakes.
