“No other bakery like Seylou. We travel in to the city every weekend to eat here. The staff is so kind and feels like an extension of our family. They’ve taken my child behind the scenes and shown him how grains are killed and bread is baked. I could not ask for a better community and diet staple.“

“Visited a second time after my first visit over a year ago when everything was out of stock.
A Redditor’s comment describing the Kouign amann bringing tears to their eyes was the pull. And it really is quite fantastic: flaky, soft layers, a crunchy top helped along by the crystallized sugar, instead of the usual syrupy finish I’ve found at other bakeries in the city. It’s not too sweet, and has a slight saltiness from the butter.
It’s a little smaller, more akin to a kouignette, and comes to around $5.80 with taxes, which is on the pricier side.“

“The cinnamon rolls are so amazing. Tasted like the real (gluten) thing. I’m very picky with cinnamon rolls and I read other reviews so the expectation was high, but it exceeded my expectations. I was so happy to see the large menu and so many options“

“I loved going here and the employees were so nice. I am gluten free and ate the cupcakes. One of the employees showed me everything they make that’s gluten free daily and what they can make upon request. I am partial to the gluten free chocolate cupcake but the vanilla was good too!“

“Best hispanic bakery in the DMV
Order a Torta Cubana, it's literally enough for for 2. And a turkey ham Torta. Also pan dulce section is very big with a wide variety of pan dulce.
They have the bakery section and the restaurant section, service was fantastic but the lady in the restaurant is amazing, great customer service skills.“

The iced latte itself was fantastic, rich, smooth, and clearly made with attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and I would definitely visit again!“

“Timmy is just the best! I have ordered from him for years. Just recently I needed the best key lime pie and I got the best key lime pie!“
“Great place to spend time or get some work done. The Wi-Fi is strong, there are outlets available to charge your devices, and the service is smooth. The food and drinks are great, there are plenty of bathrooms, and overall it’s an ideal spot to pass time and be productive.
If you want it, I can also make it sound more like a Google review, Yelp review, or more polished/professional.“

“Stopped in for a mocha breve. It was exceptionally good. I didn't have to ask for them to make is half sweet or anything. They use the perfect amount of chocolate. The half and half was steamed perfectly and not overdone. If I had known this coffee shop was here a year ago I would have come to is more. It's right beside Prose and Politics.
I also purchased the brown butter financiers which also were gluten free. They were delicious and even kid approved. Highly recommend them for coffee and pastries.
As far as seating, it's very minimalist. Not a place I'd want to come hang out. Maybe grab the coffee and find more comfortable seating outside. Otherwise, way above average coffee and pastries.“

“All their breads are amazing, but have a small quibble: the breads do not age well at all (insert joke about things aging well here). They taste so tough even on the next day, sadly. I have tried freezing and even that doesn't do it. But, nevertheless, breads are amazing, so there is that.“
“Last Saturday morning, my husband and I jumped in the car at 6:35 AM and drove to the Catania Bakery at 1404 North Capitol Street, NW in DC. We'd just found out his grandfather had worked there when he registered for the WWII draft in 1942 (he was a 60 year old Sicilian baker at the time). We are both half Sicilian American and know what real Sicilian American baked goods taste like, .
Anyway, I looked them up on the internet when we found the draft regis. card and fully expected to find zip. To my amazement the bakery is still there and still family owned, and still using the same recipe to make the bread. They switched to selling wholesale to restaurants and stores several decades ago, but are still open to the general public from 7:30 AM to noon on Saturdays. So, we hightailed it down there.
The owner personally sells the baked goods at a counter from the turn of the 1900's at the front of the old bakery. We bought a big sample of goodies to try them out -
- 4 big loaves of Italian bread (which my mom said was the same taste and texture as the bread made by her Sicilian grandfather in his bakery in Corona, NY from the 1920's to the 1950's)
- 1 loaf of Sicilian Easter bread (seasonal)
- 9 five-inch long, par-baked sfogliatelle (you finish baking them at home for 30 minutes in a 350F oven)
- and 6 bags of cookies (each bag contained about 20-24 good sized cookies). 1 bag each of anise almond biscotti, pignola cookies, pistachio cookies, coconut macaroons, anise cookies with anise icing, lemon cookies with lemon icing
I'm thrilled to report that everything was incredibly delicious. The Real Deal. Unbelievable. My 91 year old 1st generation Sicilian American mom, who is the ultimate judge on whether Sicilian baked goods are legit, gave them her stamp of approval, which is so rare it's ridiculous. We're definitely going back, a lot. At that hour of the morning on a Sat. the trip to the bakery took just 25 minutes or less. We parked right on the side street, tho we could have aslo parked right in front on N. Capitol St. Parking was no problem. At 7:30 there wasn't a line, so we got in right away. The storefront and the inside of the bakery are old and careworn, but the baked goods are perfection. You can't even find the real thing on Long Island anymore. The Sicilian bakeries up there have closed, sold to new owners, or cheaped out - they all use cheap ingredients, but NOT THIS PLACE. It's still family owned, flavors are pure, the bread crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, and the pastries don't leave an oil slick on the roof of your mouth.
If you want to experience real Sicilian baked goods the way they used to be made by the first 2 generations who to came to America, then take a trip down there and get ready to be amazed.“

“Iverson Cookies IS The Great Cookie! In fact the greatest cookie! It’s one of the best I’ve ever had. Every cookie is perfectly balanced between crunchiness and chewiness. It’s truly the best of both worlds and a one of a kind cookie. The prices are fair and it’s impossible to just eat ONE! The flavor and texture is always consistent and never disappoints. Great customer service and cookies are even greater!“

“I can tell that this bakery really uses quality ingredients and takes its time to ensure everything is fresh, well-flavored, and held to high standards overall. First, the black sesame latte was so good—highly recommend. The brownie was delicious; it’s more on the fudgy side, so if you like a fudgy brownie, I definitely recommend it as well. The hamantashen was very good.
The only thing I would say is that, if I’m not mistaken, there are Middle Eastern–inspired flavors, so if you’re not used to those, you might be a little thrown off by some of the tastes or the extra accents in their dishes. But overall, it’s a very, very good bakery. I love a bakery that takes its time to deliver quality, and I could tell that’s exactly what they do. Even though a few items caught me off guard because I’m not used to those particular spices, everything was still worth giving this place five stars.“

“This bakery had done a magic for our party at the Woman's National Democratic Club on March 6, 2024 whereas their wonderful baker transform the cover page of our art album as an image onto the top of the cake that we ordered. This is not done by AI but by human with humanistic feelings and taste. Applause!“
“Tried this place out and loved the atmosphere and the vibe. Staff were kind and friendly. I wanted to try the cherry blossom matcha latte but they were out of it. So we tried the blueberry lavender and the mamans almond croissant latte both were nice but a little too pricey. Waffle was nice.“

“Since relocating from NYC, I wasn't able to find any Sweet Potatoe Pies in the DMV that could measure up to the Pies I would purchase from Whimpies, a family owned bakery in Harlem (nolonger in business).
That is, until I stumbled upon "Uncle Paul's Pies" two years ago.
Can I say "Scrumptious". Definitely a customer for life....“

“This is my favorite neighborhood café - I have never been disappointed by a visit. The staff are very welcoming and their coffees/lattes are great. The kouign amann is my favorite item (I’ve been missing it recently), but all of their pastries are delicious and baked on site. I appreciate their efforts to expand their gluten-free options as well!
The café only has a few tables and gets crowded on the weekends, but is well worth a visit.“
