Seasons Best Bakery

Seriously, everything we get from this place is fantastic. Their chicken pot pie is a freezer staple in our house. Couldn’t be happier with the quality of their offerings.

The best shop in the Farmer’s Market! The owner, his wife, and his staff are wonderful– friendly and always willing to talk to you and help ya out. The baked goods are absolutely delicious! Everything is homemade with care.
You want a mini cheesecake, truffles, chocolate covered pretzels, cookies, tomato tart, pot pie– you name it and they have it. Tons of vintage style candy as well.
I can’t recommend this bakery enough!

Best, best Tomato Pie ever! I normally don’t like pie crust but theirs is so light & flaky & delicious I eat it all! This pie has great fresh tomato flavor not over powered by the other ingredients! Barbara knows her stuff! Pumpkin bars are rich and creamy ~ geesh everything I’ve had is so good! The mini meat loaves are dense & meaty with a very tasty tomato glaze! Pick up dinner ~ pot pies, Brunswick stew… Love Seasons Best Bakery! Wish there was one near Great Neck & Shore Dr!

First time here, we ordered sweet potato dish for Thanksgiving… really good! I’ve gone back a couple times later to try the tomato tart that everyone’s raving about. Well, it wasn’t really for me. I love tomatoes but I think this was just not for me. I’ve also tried the cinnamon rolls but I prefer the texture from the other bakery down the street. Friendly servers, esp the younger ones.

This place is a bit difficult to review, because I feel sort of divided about it, if that makes any sense… I will start with the goodies, because that’s the easy part. Fresh, delicious baked goods at reasonable prices, and the old-​fashioned candies are a wonderful blast from the past! We come here to get a sackful of candy to celebrate things like the end of school, a good report card, etc. and a gift certificate or some goodies are always a hit with teachers when the holidays roll around!
Now, the hard part… the only reason I haven’t given them more stars is that, to be honest, they aren’t always terribly friendly. I’ve been in several times, and the reception I’ve gotten has always been somewhat hit or miss-​sometimes the person who has waited on me has been very friendly and ready to tell me all about their goods, and other times, I haven’t even been acknowledged when I walk in the store-​even though there were no other customers. I have also noticed some of the women working behind the counter smirking at each other-​to be fair, this might have been over some inside joke that had nothing to do with me, but it’s still a bit rude to do in front of customers. I will probably still come in now and then for the sake of the kiddo, but the atmosphere makes me too uncomfortable to be a regular customer of theirs.

Absolutely the best chicken pot pie I’ve ever had and, at 63 years young, I’ve had many! Extraordinary!

I have been looking for a place that sells freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (other than Toll House at Pembroke Mall}. In a search of bakeries, I found Season’s Best at the Farmers Market.
When I walked in, I saw no chocolate chip cookies in the display cases and thought it was another failed attempt. I asked if they had any, and they said «only big ones» and pulled out a huge cookie the soze of a pancake! They talked me into getting 3 of them for $ 7.50! That’s high for 3 cookies!
But when I got home and took a bite, I started doing the Daniel Bryan «YES» chant! I was tempted to go out and get some ice cream to go with them, but I still have some pounds to loose, and the kids & wife didn’t need it either. Nonetheless, there will be a reunion between me and those cookies in the very near future.
The staff was very excited about their products, and were very friendly. I told them I will bring the family in, as there is something for everyone here.

It’s about time that I upgrade my review ofs this place. It’s always a joy to visit Season’s Bakery because they always have something new to offer. Something that catches your eye and satisfies your hearts desire.
There something with Season’s Bakery that make then stand out compared to others and that’s the quality and solid comfort sweets. I guarantee, that you won’t be disappointed because they sweets here are so damn good.
Also, this is the kind of place that leaves a mark in your heart whenever you’re in Farmer’s Market, the first thing comes in your mind is their name.
In my recent visit, I ordered the MINI TURTLE CHEESECAKE. It was insanely delicious. The choco oreo crust is to die for and the cheesecake is smooth, creamy, and rich. God, I almost had a food orgasm. Every bite melted in my mouth.
This is one of the best store in Farmer’s Market that must not be missed.

I’ve walked by here several times while at the farmers market and I usually overcome my urge to go in… today I just couldn’t.
I had the individual apple cheesecake and my friend had the sweet potato pecan cheesecake.
My snack was very good and it was exactly what was advertised. Cheesecake and pale filling. The crust was moist and perfect. The show stealer was the sweet potato cheesecake. WOW! The layers of texture and different flavors made my snack pale in comparison. At least I got a couple bites…
The rest of the shop was tempting.
I’ll be back!

Tomato. Pie.
I considered ending the review there, but it wouldn’t be fair not to also recommend the tomato tart, which is simply a smaller version of the tomato pie. One word of advice: outside of high season (summer, for a farmer’s market), you have to call ahead if you want the large tomato pie, as they’re only made-​to-​order the rest of the year; tomato tarts seem to be available always.

When we first walked in, we were immediately overwhelmed with all the delicious treats to choose from. From chocolate covered strawberries to various sweet potato creations, pot pies and Mac and cheese… we just couldn’t decide. Then we saw a huge loaf of pepperoni bread and just had to have it. It was a huge loaf and only cost $ 7. Great deal especially since it was delicious. My friend described it as a homemade hot pocket. It was fresh and still warm which made it taste even better. I definitely recommend stopping by here if you ever have the chance!

Sigh, I hate doing this but… I went in the store a few times. The stuff out of case phenomenonal. Staff normally friendly, sigh. We were looking for soup that fell within our religious restrictions. It couldn’t have pork. It couldn’t have… and they swore the soups were not made of the restrictions. Got them home, chopped full of it. Plus, whenwwe picked up an item previously ordered, it seemed like they had cleaned their hairbrush and there in the filling. Good bye seasons bakery.

I didn’t buy anything here yesterday while I was looking around the Farmer’s Market because I had just eaten lunch but boy did I want to.
It’s located at the Farmer’s Market on Dam Neck across from the Landstown Shopping Center near the end of the little semi-​circle facing Princess Anne — was that too much? Maybe…
I really wanted to try the sweet potato monkey muffin and I’m going to at another time.
They had some really yummy looking things in their display and the ladies working there were very friendly and offered help immediately and to answer any questions.
I’ll be back when I’m hungry — or maybe that would be a bad idea…

This place is cute, smaller than I had expected. You cannot help but go inside as you walk by since the smell outside it absolutely intoxicating. A gluten consumers dream come true. Not only do they have sweet and savory delicious baked goods, they have every piece of ice cream man vintage type candy for sale. The 5 year old in me loves this! I personally prefer savory to sweet, so I decided to try the kalamata olive and feta pocket for lunch and took home a tomato pie for dinner. Dudes, you MUST try one of these delicious pies. It was absolutely outstanding. In fact, I might drive up there today just to get one for dinner since I am now craving it. Its seriously, that good. Everyone I have ever encountered in here, staff wise, is totally nice and helpful. Very homey feeling. I love this place, I just wish my body loved gluten as much. O’well. An occasional splurge is worth it.

I am a believer! The tomato tarts here really live up to all the hype.
Tomato silces layered in gooey cheese and spices and baked to perfection in a flaky buttery crust. It’s rich and filling, and the Man and I usually share one, but only because we end up buying a bunch of other delicious baked goods to try as well.
Sweet potato biscuits, monkey bread, peach cobbler… everything is good. They have such a tempting variety of baked goods that you better leave your calorie counter in the car!

Just walking into this place and smelling the fresh baked goods makes your mouth water. This is a hidden treasure of Virginia Beach and more people need to come out and support your local bakers!
I can’t really eat any of the baked goods because of my gluten allergy, but they have plenty of other stuff I can have like the chocolate covered marshmallows, and chocolate covered rice krispy treats and other candy goodies. They had eggnog cheesecake and I got one of those for my hubby and he LOVED it. I will be going by again for some tasty treats.

Totally agree with everyone else: The Southern Tomato Tart is out-​of-​this-​world good and totally new, at least to me. The play between buttery crust, aromatic herbs and spices, and stewed tomatoes is one of the best flavor combinations imaginable. I could eat these daily and never tire of them.
It was so good I had to go back the same day and try another of their offerings. I went with the sweet potato monkey muffin with pecans. Also outrageously good.
I’ll post pictures of both in an update.

It’s been around a year and a half since my initial review and so I think it’s time for an update. This is still the best place in the area that we have found for when that sweet tooth starts calling. The turtle cheesecake is our favorite. In fact, we just stopped in to pick one up. It beats any cheesecake around. It’s made for two to split with a terrific chocolate cookie crust and topped with chocolate, caramel, and pecans.
The last time I was in we bought some sweet potato monkey bread and it was so tasty. The kids loved it, too. I wish I had bought more. Unfortunately, when we just stopped in they were out so now I have to get back over soon to pick some more up. The chocolate chip cookies are huge and very good. The tomato pies are very popular and though I have only tried one, it was a nice treat and something different from the sweets.
Since the initial review, they have moved up closer to the front of the Farmer’s Market and they have much more space now. Though I cannot discount the experience of the reviewer who had a negative interaction with the owner, it contradicts all of our experiences. The owners, John and Barbara, are always friendly and John remembers my name every time I stop in. So, we have pleasant interactions with them each time.
I HIGHLY recommend that you give this place a try. I can almost guarantee you will love it!

It took me four month to get to this review, but I didn’t forget. I’d like to start off by first saying the bakery itself was amazing as was the tomato tart. I would have given Seasons Best a full five stars had there been no interaction with the owner. Apparently the owners style of hospitality is the dry and cold sort. At least I know that it wasn’t personal, because the other patrons received the same brash service. I was genuinely blown away by the tomato tart and made a point to compliment and thank her. All I received was a «why are you speaking to me?» type glance. Incredible bakery but by far one of the worst customer service experiences.

Hidden gem behind the Farmer’s Market. Skip the candies in the front of the store and allow yourself to be led by the nose to the bakery case, where amazing goodness awaits. Barbara Morisette is a great baker, using fresh local ingredients whenever possible. Not to be missed: sweet potato praline cheesecake tartlets, tomato and three cheese tartlets and her buttery giant, big-​as-​your-​face chocolate chip cookies. A moment of silence for these cookies… they are not your typical «bake n’ slice». I ate half of mine while it was still warm and put the rest in the fridge. When I came back for the rest, it was even better! It was as buttery as a palmier. I don’t think I will be able to eat them from anywhere else, my own kitchen included. I love how the selection changes with the seasons. Keep Unilocaling foodies, perhaps we can get the press to take notice. I tell everyone i can to make this a food destination. Well worth the trip.
