The scones, breads, and cakes from Two and a Half Irishmen are fantastic. It’s like having that authentic Irish village bakery just down the lane. It’s just a short stroll to the shelves of the website to ogle the abundant variety of mouthwatering offerings. And the customer service is first rate. My order arrived in short order. There was a minor concern which was addressed promptly and graciously. So put on a kettle of tea, place the jam and clotted cream on the table, & lay a spread of pastry from Two and a Half Irishmen. While you’re at it, give me a call, I’ll be right over!
Well this is some delicious bread. We purchased the soda bread, Guinness treacle bread, and Galway apple cake, and all three are very, very good. Had some issues with arranging pickup, but thats because Im a dummy who orders online on a Friday night. Niall was very accommodating though, and again the bread is excellent.
Tried a scone at a local farmers market and it was quite yummy. I did not realize that this location on Google maps is a personal residence, NOT a storefront 😂 I learned that the hard way when I drove out here looking for a store.
I won a Traditional Irish Gift Basket for St. Paddy’s day back in March (2021). After a bit of a mishap, I contacted the owner directly about it. Niall was quick to rectify the mishap and provided me a delicious looking gift basket.I was quick to dive into the Blackberry Mint Julep. It is so subtle, it’s delicious!!And to think this business is done out of a home? INCREDIBLE! I will be going back for more Irish Treats!Thank you Niall!!Valerie
I just received my order today and am so pleased with everything I ordered 💕They were generous with walnuts in the zucchini cake 💕 which I absolutely love. I look forward to trying more items and sharing with family as the holidays approach . Thanks one Irish person to another 💕🙏
Really went above and beyond to deliver our order - on St. Patricks Day, nonetheless! This is our second round of purchasing their products and first experience with their online ordering. Will certainly not be our last. Very impressed with their baking (as a finicky former New Yorker) and super appreciative of the friendly, flexible, helpful staff. Definitely recommend.
Another great order.Several years ago I spent 2 weeks driving around the southern coast of Ireland. Lunch would be Brown Soda Bread and Irish Cheese. I even brought back two loaves of soda bread in my carry-on. When I got back to the States, I found good Irish cheese, but until now hadnt been able to find brown soda bread.Thanks for keeping Ireland alive in Virginia.
The Guinness gingerbread is so delicious!
Purchased all gluten free goods - delicious delicious delicious!!
I come to the farmers market in Bryan Park just to pick up something from Two and a Half Irishmen. Everything is fresh and tastes great, truly never disappoints. The Galway Apple cake is one of the few things my wife (5 months pregnant) can eat right now and she loves it as well. Keep up the good work!
Niall and his team are absolutely phenomenal people! They bake incredible Irish breads and pastry’s and I can’t recommend them enough! Don’t miss out!
The best! Their baked goods remind me of my Irish grandmother...except she lived with us so I got indulged more often! And theyre the NICEST guys! Super helpful.
We just tried their cupcakes, apple cake, and banana bread at the Celtics festival in Montpelier and they are amazing!!! I cant wait to go back for more!!!
Niall put together a lovely gift basket of gluten-free breads and scones for my mother, who lives in another state. The package arrived super fast and was packaged beautifully. My mother is so excited to enjoy her baked goods!
Every item I have gotten from Two and a Half Irishmen has been great. I have celiac and their gluten-free options are so much better than the expensive stuff at my local grocery store. I am so glad I found them at the farmers market! Keep up the good work and stay as awesome as you already are!!! Therese
Amazing zucchini/chocolate bread and scones!!!Sent info to my family and they can’t wait to try!!
I purchased some delicious goodies to give as gifts. They came quickly and packaged with such care! I can’t wait to give them as gifts for Christmas!
Delicious and moist. Smells Devine too ! Not going to share with the rest of the family, all mine.
Do you want to taste love in your baked goods? Maybe you want to learn about traditions. Maybe you you are vegan like me and have been disappointed with some vegan baked goods tasting almost as good as the original. Niall and the family will not let you down. From being open to the history of their Waterford Blaa to their experiments in vegan exploration, they are an open book full of options. I have bought them at South of the James Farmers Market, our Irish festival and at Tom Leonard’s and every time fresh as can be. Great people to support who make above great treats!
Wonderful traditional And authentic Irish treats from a delightful Galway man. Niall, will do all possible to make your experience from shopping to consuming surpass your expectations. Your shop 2 1/2 Irishman will not be your last. Enjoy!
Jim and I were just married. At the party the night before the wedding, we were treated to a generous supply of the Guinness Cupcakes !!! First, a BIG Thank you...and second, they were delicious...over the top delicious!!If anyone is thinking of a dessert idea, think no further than Two and a Half Irishmen!!I just wish we lived nearby!! Thank you again!
Niall and family do a great job! When I eat their scones I feel like I’m back in Ireland! I order them from my home in Virginia Beach and they ship them pretty fast to me from Richmond!
Their bread is the best! I havent tasted one that I didnt like. The staff is always so friendly and gives extra samples to my little daughter when we come to the market. All around great experience when you buy from them.
Incredibly delicious with an unmistakable homemade taste!!! Best part for me is they have VEGAN options YES!!! I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family!
We order through Seasonal Roots. This week - Chocolate Orange Buttermilk scones and fresh peach coffee cake. Delicious. Ordering again and again. Yum.
I can’t say enough good things about Niall’s and Two and a Half Irishmen.If you live in Richmond and haven’t had his loafs you are missing out.I am gluten-free so I have only had the gluten-free options, but I have purchased other items as gifts and everyone has raved about them. Most recently the Guinness and Irish Cream Chocolate Cupcakes, (I watched as a grown man stuff an entire cupcake in his mouth, then said it was the best thing he had eaten), also the Guinness and Chocolate Porter cake was raved on.As for my fellow allergy friends, you know its so difficult to find food that tastes like you are not eating cardboard. This is not the case with Two and a Half Irishmen. I forget it’s gluten-free or vegan. For Thanksgiving brunch, I brought multiple of the vegan and gluten-free loafs home and no-one was the wiser. Everything tastes SO good!My personal favorite loafs are the Zucchini or Banana Bread, both come with or without chocolate chips. All four of those loafs are amazing.Pro-tip: add a little butter to a pan and pan fry a piece of one of those; Its my secret breakfast side for when company comes into town.He recently started making scones, I’ve tried a couple different flavors of the gluten-free ones. Just try them you won’t regret it!You can find out where to pick up their bread on their website, but they are at South of the James Farmers Market, Ellwood Thompson’s, Shields, & a couple other Richmond staples.
Best baked goods in Richmond! Naill and staff are wonderful to work with especially sending gift baskets. Look for their delicious products.
Im one of the lucky people who has to eat gluten-free food and that normally means that I have very few bread options (and most are very dry or taste like sand). But I found Two and a Half Irishmen gluten-free breads and scones at Tom Leonards Farmers Market and all of the options are incredible.No joke. Incredible. Look at the pic...Even my wife (who doesnt have to eat GF) loves the breads. Ive since ordered online as well and they arrive perfectly. GF or not...youre going to love it all!
I love their cupcakes! Theyre out of the this world and they live up to their reputation as being one of the best in Virginia!
All is delicious have them at Virginia winery at the train station downtown Richmond so good
Love the selection!
