We are absolutely amazed and honored by your response to our closing on April 28th. Your sweet stories of your personal and family favorites and your sadness that we are closing has touched our hearts.

You have all waited patiently to be served both in the store and over the phone. We will continue to try to keep the store stocked. We will answer your phone calls as much as we can. Please know that we are doing our absolute best.....with love and appreciation. John and Anne

Good people, we are open through Saturday April 28th. We are baking as fast as we can. If, when you come in, our shelves are low in goodies, it’s because you lovely folks have whipped us out. To better your chances of getting what you want when you come in please call ahead and place an order. We want you all to have your favorites and not go away disappointed. Thanks for your understanding. 😊

Virginia Bakery has been in the Erdmann family since 1953. It's closing permanently on April 28 because the current owners John and Anne want to retire and hang out with their grandkids.
