Alright, Richmond foodies and travelers, buckle up—because we're about to dive into one of Church Hill's most drool-worthy gems: Sub Rosa Bakery. If you haven’t heard of this cozy little corner of carb heaven, let me break it down for ya—it’s not just a bakery, it’s a freaking work of art. 

Nestled in the historic Church Hill neighborhood (which, by the way, is the oldest part of Richmond) at 620 N 25th St, VA 23223, Sub Rosa is where you go when you want your taste buds to do a happy dance.

🥐What Makes Sub Rosa So Special?

First off, these folks don’t play around when it comes to their ingredients. We’re talking organic, stone-ground, regionally sourced grains, milled in-house. That’s right—they mill their flour right there in the bakery. Who even does that anymore?! It’s old-school in the best way possible. Their wood-fired oven is the heart of the operation, and the flavor it brings? 🤤 Next level.

🍞 Fan Favorites You’ve Gotta Try:

• 🥐 Almond Croissant – buttery, flaky, and stuffed with that nutty almond goodness.
  

• Laminated Rye – a bread so beautiful it deserves its photoshoot.
  

• Savory Galettes – think rich greens, local cheeses, and flaky pastry wrapped up like a love letter.
  

• 🥧 Seasonal Pastries – these rotate, but trust us, whatever’s in the case is gonna be gold.

But hey, don't just take our word for it—this place has been featured in Bon Appétit, The New York Times, and every "Best Bakeries in America" list you can think of. It's a pilgrimage spot for food lovers across the East Coast.
