Florosa is a bakery & flower farm shaped by the garden, the seasons, and the multicultural influences that inform our pastry. We create cakes, pastries, and pan dulce using ingredients grown on our certified urban farm alongside locally milled flour, eggs, and produce sourced from growers across Virginia. This approach keeps each menu connected to the landscape and the time of year.

Our background in Latin-inspired pastry adds an additional layer of perspective, flavor, and story, expressed in a way that feels approachable for Charlottesville while remaining rooted in tradition and respect. Florosa also operates at a scale that allows for intention; every cake, pastry, or centerpiece of edible flowers is created by hand and shaped by what the garden provides.

Florosa operates out of a home based commissary bakery in Charlottesville, Virginia, on a 1/4-acre USDA & NRCS certified urban flower farm.
