Glory's Bakery has baked Filipino breads and pastries in Virginia Beach since 1986, and Coastal Virginia Magazine's Flour Power roundup named its Aragona Boulevard shop. The cases fill with pillowy pandesal and sweet ensaymada, best caught early in the day. Order a bag of warm pandesal and an ensaymada with your coffee, and pick up a few extra for later since they go quickly. A longtime family bakery.

Rigoletto Italian Bakery & Cafe turns out cannoli, tiramisu and sfogliatella in Virginia Beach, and Coastal Virginia Magazine's Flour Power roundup put it among the region's bakeries. The Italian pastry case is the draw, filled to order with piped-fresh cannoli. Order a cannoli filled while you wait and a slice of tiramisu, and browse the imported shelves before you leave. Open since 2006 and a Food Network stop along the way.

Bread Garden is a Korean bakery in Newport News that Coastal Virginia Magazine's Flour Power roundup named for its soft, cream-filled buns. The Village Square shop keeps a rotating case of milk breads, cream buns and cakes, light and not too sweet. Order a couple of cream buns and a slice of cake for the drive, and go in the morning when the case is fullest. A Peninsula-side stop since 2007.

Whole-ly Rollers made its name on yeast rolls in Chesapeake, and Coastal Virginia Magazine's Flour Power roundup called them out. The rolls are the reason to go, pull-apart and buttery, sold by the pan for a table or a holiday. Order a pan of the yeast rolls and whatever cinnamon version is out that day, and check the hours since it is a smaller operation. Now baking on North Battlefield Boulevard.

Naas Bakery is a family shop on Tidewater Drive in Norfolk, and Coastal Virginia Magazine's Flour Power roundup named its baklava and Danishes. The case runs to buttery, honey-soaked pastries and morning Danishes, made in-house. Order a few pieces of baklava and a Danish with coffee, and take a box home since it keeps. A quiet neighborhood bakery that rewards a detour.
