History

Established in 2012.

Ethereal Cupcakes and Coffee Shoppe is the absolute fruition of a dream, born out of a heartfelt and thought provoking discussion centered on the following question:

«Why aren’t there any bakeries or cupcake shops that bake cupcakes every day from scratch without any artificial flavoring, artificial colors, no cake mixes, just all natural ingredients, void of all the dangerous dyes and artificial food colors and only the finest chocolates and ingredients obtainable?»

The answers were numerous and varied, but still the question lingered, where can we find a gourmet bakery with the highest standards for product, cleanliness, attention to detail and unmatched customer service and satisfaction? Where can we find a bakery with those single minded goals and commitments?

The answer was found in 3 small but immensely profound words: Why not us?

Always a decent coffee selection in a pinch. Food here isn’t my objective but it looks decent. They make a pretty nice latte to give you the fix you’re looking for if you’re jonzing.

One of my favorite places to visit. Cupcakes are delicious. I will say its pricey; would recommend for a treat or special occasions. My favorites are the red velvet and vegan oreo.

I just had a GREAT cupcake here– not good, but GREAT! I’m visiting a friend and asked her where we should go for an afternoon snack and this was her first pick, and I’m so happy she took me here! I got the «Somebody put peanut butter in my chocolate» cupcake and she chose the pumpkin cheesecake cupcake. The ganache on top of my cupcake was calling my name, and I’m not even a fan of peanut butter frosting but this one was done right mixed with their delicious buttercream. The cupcake itself was very moist but needed to be eaten with a fork, which was already provided. My friend really enjoyed her cupcake as well. I’d like to note that the staff gave us a thorough explanation of their selection and brought out the cupcakes to us with plates and forks, and then took up our plates– not the kind of service I expect at a cupcake shop. Now we’re sitting in a nice seating area watching Epic, though one of the staff offered us to change the movie to whatever we wanted. I will definitely come back here next time I’m in Hampton!

My husband and I love this place! The cupcakes are extraordinarily good and their double doozey icecream cookies are good as well. The service is also great!

Was introduced by a friend when I first arrived in the area. Simply delightful. I had the Sweet «P» cupcake while she had the one with Oreos. Mine was made with a sweet potato batter & a brûlée marshmallow icing. The subtle sweetness from the sweet potatoes and the marshmallow really compliment each other, almost like a tamed sweet potato casserole in a cupcake. While my friend’s cupcake really implode with sweetness along with a little bit of crunch from the Oreo crumbles. Truly a treat (:

Yummy, yummy, yum-​yum!
The customer service was most excellent. I was promptly greeted and told about the beautiful cupcakes.
They don’t use artificial flavors, which is a rarity in today’s bake shoppes and something I appreciate.
They have a vegan option each day as well as a gluten free option. They also have alcohol infused cupcakes which I thought was interesting.
Had the gluten free carrot (they spelled it differently) cupcake. The cake was super moist and the cream cheese frosting actually made me consider circling the block to buy more.
Did I mention they have coffee?
Worth going out of your way for! We’ll be back when we are anywhere near this area.

Their latte is espresso shots and warm wilk. It came out warm and immediately drinkable. When queried, the store manager insisted this was how they make lattes. A picture is posted showing a full cup of brown liquid.
The breakfast sandwich was tasty and well balanced with its ingredients.
The cupcakes were cupcakes. They just arent my thing.

I am more of an ice cream person but when it comes to Ethereal Cupcakes, I am a cupcake fan. I love that they switch up their flavors and use organic or natural ingredients. I like their coffee too, it pairs perfectly with a cupcake! They offer gluten free options and heather, lighter calorie options as well. The staff is great, they greet you when you walk in and explain anything you need to know about the ingredients and flavors. They have seating and lounge area to enjoy your treat if you’re not in a rush.

Stopped by since my friend is vegan and wanted to try their cupcakes. Customer service was phenomenal– a gentleman explained everything and convinced me to try a cupcake even though I had just planned on getting iced coffee. I am not vegan so got their PB cupcake. I’ll be honest when I say I’m a hater in the gourmet cupcake world. They’re super expensive and nothing special. HOWEVER their PB was nothing like I’ve had. I live near Sprinkles and Georgetown Cupcakes and this one by far was the best. The chocolate cake was moist and their PB frosting was whip cream-​like and their chocolate ganache was divine.
I am also embarrassed to admit that my friends and I were «those» customers who took up a seating area for 5 hours. Yes, FIVE hours. In my defense, we were catching up after not seeing each other for over 3 years. They never once gave us a hard time.
It’s not the place I can go to every week b/​c of the price tag but wouldn’t hesitate to go as a treat.

Customer service is awesome, quality control is awesome.
I love their cookies, their tres leches cupcake, the peanut butter cheesecake, and any cupcake with ganache. Uncontrollably addictive.

I’m so glad I found this place! Seriously great cupcakes. My guy and I stopped in to pick up two to-​go cupcakes, and it was pretty busy on a Saturday night. A very nice man was walking through the line and explaining the different types of cupcakes, how they ice certain ones fresh, how they always have at least one gluten-​free or vegan cupcake, etc. Pretty impressive. I believe he even said that on one day of the week, they even accommodate diabetics… that’s pretty cool as well.
We ended up choosing the 24-​Karat Cake (carrot cake) and the Blue Blazes (blueberry). Both had a cream cheese frosting and were very moist cupcakes. The carrot cake had shredded carrots, pineapple, and (I think) walnuts, and was out of this world! Very fresh tasting. Prices are a little steep but the cupcakes are gourmet; it may hurt my feelings to buy a dozen but I’ll totally treat myself and buy one or two every now and then!

The moment I stepped into the door, a helpful lady welcomed me and introduced all the flavors they had for the day. A helpful hint: they post each day’s flavors the night before. My first cupcake from Ethereal was the Wunderbar (German Chocolate). First impression of the cupcake was that it looked very decadent… My first bite followed through, confirming how satisfying the cupcake was. The icing was perfect and melts in your mouth. The cupcake itself was moist but crumbly. This is definitely a good alternative to the cupcake places in DC and is much closer to home.

Oh My God — these were legit the best cupcakes I have ever had. E-​V-​E-​R. Yep. That’s right — I said that and I’ve had some damn good cupcakes. I’ve had some yummy cupcakes from this place in my hometown that are orange dreamsicle goodness of vanilla bean, I’ve had cupcakes in Austin, TX
The fiancée has a pretty serious sweet tooth and he loves cupcakes so while in the area eating before the circus we stopped in here.
A nice fella working inside gave us a rundown of the menu for the day. I saw several coffee drinks that I’d have liked to try if we had more time and hadn’t just eaten so we opted to take two cupcakes to go and eat them after the circus and after we got back home to Virginia Beach.
The fiancée got the Churro cupcake — which was basically cinnamon everywhere with some more cinnamon and I got the strawberries and cream cupcake because I love strawberry things.
They were both DELICIOUS — I mean literally like legit good. The cake itself was moist and fresh — my strawberry one had chunks of strawberries baked in. The churro one tasted like buttery cinnamon toast crunch cereal. The icing was light and delicious — def. homemade and it was rich and fresh but not too rich.
We are both pretty picky when it comes to cupcakes and these seriously were absolutely amazing. AMAZEBALLS.
You need some in your life — hell I need some more in my life and I don’t even have a sweet tooth.
I’m going to be eating some of these again next time I go to Peninsula Town Center — I can promise you that!

Stepped in with my friend today and was immediately greeted by the staff and given a full run down of all the cupcakes available.
We then proceeded to try and only pick one cupcake ! I bought the lemon and blueberry cupcake and my friend got the Oreo cupcake infused with Bailey liquor ! They were both delicious.
Our coffees were also one of the best we’ve had so far in the 5 months we’ve been in America and I love that they offer almond milk as an option
Check this place out, you’ll love it !

Thanks to Ethereal, I am now a cupcake addict! I love Ethereal Cupcakes!
Best Service! Best Cupcakes! Best coffee (forget that disgusting stuff Starbucks brews… It’s acidic and burnt tasting and just nasty compared to Ethereal)!
The menu is ever changing and they are constantly experimenting with new flavors and every single cupcake I have tried is delicious!
I have never been disappointed coming here and the staff is so friendly, ever visit feels like I just came home from a long trip away and everyone is excited to see me!
Loranzo has got to be the friendliest person I have ever met! He always asks me how I am doing and and you can tell that he is passionate about his job and so is every one else who works there!
The only downside is, that all the cupcakes look so delicious and sometimes it is difficult just to choose one.
Good job on also offering gluten free and vegan options. I wonder if they could try substituting sugar for stevia???

Only reviewing the coffee, staff, and space here as I didn’t partake in the cupcaked-​ness. I love the location of this little spot — it’s definitely a gem when we’re talking about Hampton, VA and its dearth of great options. I had a tasty cappuccino and didn’t have to wait long. The place seemed quite popular!
There’s a small amount of seating here so I wouldn’t plan on studying or working at this location, but there are a few couches for lounging over a warm roasted coffee or espresso for sure. Plenty of magazines are available to peruse while waiting or drinking as well.
Remember to mention if you’re military or a student — there’s a discount (10−15% I can’t remember exactly)!

This is just an addendum to the previous review. They recently added a Bailey’s Irish Crème latte that is absolutely ridiculous! Any cupcake or pastry paired with this orgasmic drink is sure to taste phenomenal!
I’m sorry, but this is barely hyperbole. That latte is… I would sell an organ for it… It’s that good… *sheds a tear of gratitude & gazes off into the distance*

Awesome awesome awesome! Can’t say it enough!
We were greeted as soon as we entered by a nice and welcoming gentleman who then explained all of the cupcake flavors after finding out it was our first time.
I ordered the crème brûlée cupcake, and it felt like I was in France for a moment. Cupcake wars would have no contest if these guys showed up.
Coffee was freshly brewed for me and is a great compliment, no cream or sugar needed.
Service continues to be great as I sit here, I’ll be bringing back my points card for more asap.

Wow! I love cupcakes so much that I bleed frosting. So another cupcake to adventure was AWSOME!
This place has great service with 2 gentlemen explaining each cupcake, etc. Finally settle on an orange screwdriver and snowball. The orange screwdriver is made with vanilla cupcake infused with orange juice and vodka. Not that I’m an alcoholic or anything but I didn’t really taste the vodka or the orange. It was settle.
The snowball was vanilla cupcake with coconut icing, basically what you would think it should taste.
The cupcakes were both moist not too sweet. Prices range from $ 3 for gourmet cupcakes and $ 4 for super gourmet. They change flavors daily. Overall very delicious, moist and flavorful.
