The Treat Shop | Our Story
Why wait for the fair?
We're a Richmond family who loves treats, and we got tired of waiting on the fair to roll into town. So in October 2014 we opened The Treat Shop.
How we started
Shawn is a US Navy veteran and former Virginia State Trojan, and he and Essie are both Richmond natives. We kept craving treats you only find at carnivals, fairs and amusement parks, and we figured we shouldn't have to treat ourselves just once or twice a year.
Rolled and cut here
Our yeast dough is hand rolled and cut on site, and our cake and yeast donuts come out fresh throughout the day. Funnel cakes, fried Oreos and fried Snickers are made to order, and the candy apples and cotton candy are waiting at the counter.
The cinnamon bun donut
You can only get it here, and we make it fresh daily from hand-rolled yeast dough with cinnamon, sugar and a sweet glaze. Plenty of you have told us it's your favorite.
More than sweets
Come hungry for lunch too. We have our signature N.C. BBQ, our 8 oz. Angus beef Jahnke Rd burger, fresh hot fried fish and breakfast sandwiches all day.
Tony and the truck
Cowboy Tony runs our catering and food truck, and we can come to you for corporate events, sports, private parties and festivals. He's the one to call or text about your event, and everyone deserves a treat.
