Just Cupcakes in downtown Norfolk
No big secret that I looooove downtown Norfolk. So when the opportunity presented itself to open inside of Bean There Café I jumped on it. This is certainly a test for us but we feel sure that Norfolk loves cupcakes and the response has been great!
Our shop inside of Bean There will have hours different from the shops. We will open at 8:30am and close at 2pm each day. We will also be offering our new “breakfast cupcakes”. This week we’ll have our cinnamon sugar doughnut cupcake, pop tart cupcake and blackout cupcake. The doughnut cupcake has a delicate balance of cinnamon and fresh nutmeg and topped with yummy cinnamon sugar. Our pop tart cupcake is a delicious vanilla cupcake combined with strawberry pop tarts and topped with our light Italian Meringue. The blackout cake is our dark chocolate cupcake filled with our house made chocolate custard and topped with chocolate streusel. These cupcakes are perfect for your morning coffee and will only be offered until 11:00. After 11am, we’ll have all of our flavors out for you to enjoy for lunch or for the afternoon.
One of the best things about being a small business is that it allows us to try all kinds of new things - and we are. Besides our new breakfast cupcakes, Friday was our first cupcake and wine tasting held at Bean There. It was a lot of fun and a great way to end the week. Be on the lookout for our September cupcake and wine tasting to be held at our Town Center shop. AND (yes there’s more) we’ll be updating our site with our “perfect pairings”. The perfect wine to compliment cupcake flavors as we move swiftly to the holiday season. yikes!
Finally, be on the lookout for our schedule of fall cupcake classes. Send the kiddo’s back to school and then come to our class to learn something for YOU and your family!
On a personal note, thank you for all of the support that you continually give us and, er well, me. While being on Cupcake Wars was great fun, even better has been all of you that have come in and talked with me about it - tried the hurricane cupcake (yes, we’ll be making the others this fall) and always treated me like a winner. I am eternally grateful.
