“Great time, our first time here. Definitely recommended. the pumpkins look great. Fun family day. Nice market.“

“A chill little bakery with fantastic pastries, cookies and croissants, as well as quality coffee. Also ordered a cake for my husband's birthday and it was a major hit!“

“Adorable little bakery tucked into an alleyway in Union Market. They're in the middle of the alley and impossible to spot (unless, as there often is, there's a line out the door), so it can feel a little sketchy to walk aimlessly through a random alleyway, but Bread Alley makes the walk super cute with a lovely string of arrows pointing you to their gorgeous black brick and wooden storefront.

They don't have a full-time cashier, so if you get to Bread Alley during one of their off-peak hours, you have to knock or ring the bell and wait for one of their bakers to come open the door for you. Once they do, you'll be welcomed into a cozy little shopping area with just a cash register, small pastry case (which just includes a few exemplary pastries -- the rest are in the back), and a wall of various types of bread. I didn't end up grabbing one of their breads, but I'll definitely have to make my way back for them; the harissa black sesame sourdough looked incredibly enticing, but I just, unfortunately, didn't have a need for a full loaf of bread at the time. However, I was in the mood for a sweet treat and decided to get a classic pain au chocolat. They don't have an indoor seating space, given their relatively barebones front-end, so I just ate my croissant as I walked home. It was a beautiful croissant, with a gorgeous lamination inside and nice glossy finish. It was a smidge too doughy for my taste, as I generally prefer really light and airy croissants, but it was still delicious.“

“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.“

“Best service, coffee and croissant in town 🥐“

“I found this place just browsing the internet for places I could get a custom 2 tier cake last minute and we run across this place. I would suggest this place over and over again and continue to use them as well . Latoya was such a great help and patient with me and my indecisiveness. Placing this order just days before my daughter’s birthday and being completely satisfied had made her day extra exciting. The cake was moist, the buttercream was perfect. Just honestly everything. THANK YOU ?“

“I grew up in Waldorf and may have skipped school just for an eclair… I pick some up every chance I get.“

“I've never had sweet potato cake until today. . My life just changed forever after purchasing at Capitol Jazz festival. I also got to meet the amazing owner!!“

“Delicious Bakery Artistry with Impeccable Customer Service.“

“the breakfast sliders are yummy and the sticky pretzel with chocolate inside is good not real sweet but just right❤️“

“I went to purchase a birthday cake for my daughter and I noticed how delicious the cookies looked. I also read on all the reviews how amazing their cookies are especially the snicker doodle. Alejandra who was simply a sweetheart, helped make suggestions/recommendations and she was so pleasant and helpful. I was so impressed with the customer service and the quality of the baked goods. I give them a 5 star if not 10! They are all very sweet and the cake and cookies are just amazing. I was very a very happy customer!“

“There are some hard-working and talented ladies behind that window of beautiful deliciousness. And it shows! Everything was phenomenal. 100% worth the wait in the weekend rush, too! I had the chorizo, the rosemary-fig tart, and the peach-sesame kouign-amann. Life-changing. Every bite. After a bite of their kouign-amann, I threw away the (more expensive) quiche/pastry I'd grabbed from Eastern Market and replaced them with Souk's. Serious upgrade.“

“My Cake Theory is a slice of dessert heaven tucked away in the heart of the city. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with the sweet aroma of freshly baked cakes and a quirky, Instagram-worthy ambiance. The cake is pure magic. It's like a warm hug in dessert form, oozing with gooey goodness that’ll leave you smiling for days.
But wait, it’s not just about the cakes-everything here is an edible masterpiece. Whether it's their artisanal pastries or the frothy caramel latte, each bite feels like a celebration. My Cake Theory is the spot to be.

“Located inside the Ronald Reagan building so you need to go through security to get there. Delicious cookies and ice cream that was perfect after a day at the National Children's Museum. This place is far more appropriate for kids tastes than offerings at the National Children's Museum next door.“

“Excellent lunch. French onion soup to die for.“

“I love the vibe at Tatte Bakery—it's a great spot to work or hang out with friends. The atmosphere is great, and it’s just a nice place to be. But, honestly, the wait times are kind of frustrating. I ordered drinks online, and it still took over 20 minutes, which feels like forever when you're just waiting for coffee. Still, I'll keep coming back because the space is awesome.“

“Timmy made my sister a delicious custom cake for their wedding. The red velvet cake was so good, everyone at the party loved it. We reached out to Timmy last minute to help us out and he did a fantastic job. Can’t recommend him enough.“

“Outstanding customer service. And to tell you the truth, would you believe? This place has been in business for over 30 years. Still looks the same. You remember when Doctor petcenter was downstairs? And our dogs would escape and run all over the place. Great place Worth every penny!!“

“yesss I highly recommend L A Baked Sweets I've ordered more than one occasion from this business. Ashley the owner very professional and has good customer service. Communication is on point which is very important to the business. PROFESSIONAL✴✴✴✴✴ CUSTOMER SERVICE✴✴✴✴✴ COMMUNICATION✴✴✴✴✴ TASTE✴✴✴✴✴ MOIST✴✴✴✴✴“

“This was the best coffee we had in DC. The drip coffee was solid, the vanilla latte and mocha were also excellent. Great staff and the owner was very nice. Best coffee in DC!“

“My first Tatte experience was at the Bethesda location, thanks to a friend who introduced me to this gem. Now, it’s one of my go-to spots in DC! They’ve got the best of both worlds: real specialty coffee for purists like me, plus all those syrupy concoctions that are popular around here.

And the food? Absolutely delicious! From tarts to puddings, there’s always something tempting to try. Oh, and don’t forget to grab a bag of their granola on your way out—it’s perfect for satisfying those post-café cravings at home!“

“First visit, and the experience was mixed:

- Atmosphere: great, location is very convenient, suitable for working on a laptop, reading, small gatherings, etc.

- Food: very good

- Coffee: asked for it a certain way, but the barista who handled my request decided to not listen and make it the way they think it should be made, despite me notifying them twice.

There were two emplyees:
- A young man who was professional and warm in handling customer requests and responding to different incidents, which was very appreciated.
This is a five star review because of him.

- Another young person who needs more training on listening and delivering customer requests.
I tried to gently give them feedback on how they handled my order, but I was met with an “I don’t care about how you want your coffee, I follow the lines, take it or leave it” attitude, which was very cold even though they used polite words, low tone and gave a meaningless “have a good day” at the end.

Hopefully this will be better soon.“

“The young lady serving us was very helpful and knew all she needed to serve us quickly and professionally. The gelato was exceptional!!“

“The flavor and presentation of chai matched the service and atmosphere: beyond expectations. This is a cozy spot with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The barista crafted a chai to suit my preferences (it's an inhouse blend!) I didn't get any nibbles but they looked delicious.“

“This little shop is mighty, and its owner Catherine is so lovely! GBBO fans will be delighted that, yes, THIS is the place where you can find a cherry bakewell (#IYKYK). Be sure to ask if there are any savory offerings in the back - I recently had a terrific mushroom and spinach tart that convinces me that I should just buy whatever savory offering is on deck.I can't wait till afternoon tea service is available. I'll definitely be there.“

“This bakery is located in the historic Eastern market on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC. My favorite thing is the molasses ginger cookie, with no icing and I like them gooey in the middle. I asked for them that way and I get them that way. Their snickerdoodles are also good and they have a nice selection of breads. Not everything is baked on premise. The owner and the other workers are all very nice people.

Parking: They are very busy on the weekends. The whole market and parking gets more difficult but come on Tuesday through Friday and you'll have your pic of parking spaces. Everything is almost everything is metered.

Kid-friendliness: What's not? Kid friendly about a bakery

Wheelchair accessibility: There are accessible parking spaces“

“Very nice little cafe with excellent coffee and food. The breakfast sandwich hit the spot, hot and freshly made with scrambled eggs, cheddar, spinach and soft, not too heavy ciabatta bread. The staff were super friendly, and as an animal lover I was happy to see Chez Lily is dog friendly too. I saw a cute little pug come in while I was there.“

“We were visiting the National Harbor from Raleigh Nc and we paid them a visit. Hands down highy recommend. Customer service,appearance,Taste are all amazing. I was told you ship we will definitely be placing another order. If you have tried them go quickly.“

“Today is 02/01/2025, 2:18 pm. I went there to get Bolillos, there was a family who had taken all, about 20 pieces, when the fresh got out, they return all the bread they already had to get a fresh bread (thats what they said) they asked an employee if they can change it and the employee said: if you want. That is a nasty thing to do because they had already manipulated the bread and now someone else will take that bread. The owner should educate the employees that no bread should be returned once a customer already touch it. Other than that I recommend this place but that was a very unsafe ans unhealthy thing to do.“

“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....“

“Fantastic atmosphere to eat brunch and enjoy watching people on the busy street“

“I have used God’s Ivy Cakes for the past few years and she never disappoints. The owner is responsive, professional and all of my cakes have not only looked great but tasted great!“

“The best matcha latte ever. I lived in DC before and when I moved again for a few months, I could not wait to go back to Tatte. The service is also always good. I've worked there many times with my computer when the library is closed. This location is the calmest one, especially later afternoon.“

“Cher mais excellent, un petit bout de Belgique aux usa.“

“NOT open on Fridays. This would be a very enthusiastic 5 rating if they kept their hours updated. I took time off work to come here to get supplies for a dinner party tonight, and there was a sign on the door. Ended up driving all over the city and got in trouble with work. Also, this place is CASH ONLY.“

“Went here for the first time today and I fell in love. I highly recommend“

“I absolutely love the sandwich smoked salmon toast with avocado & marinated tomatoes, the best. A lovely ambiance And the caffe’ - spresso is good 😊! Lo raccomando Grazie Marilisa“

“Friendly & amazing customer service, and delicious food and drinks. Thank you!“

“Delivery Service...For the Second time in a month,was delivered out dated items and bread/rolls are smashed AND YOU PAY A DELIVERY FEE FOR THIS SERVICE!!!Customer service(after 32 minutes) the first time says it will never happen again! But yet this is the SECOND time and 25 minutes on the phone with customer service.The point of a delivery service is so you don't have to go to the location!“

“The food was good. Oddly low priced considering where the shop is located. And I'm not 100% sure why I'm giving it four stars instead of five, it just feels like there was something missing. But you should absolutely try grabbing a quick bite to eat.“

“Another beautiful cake from Bree’s Sweet Treats!!“

“Thank you for being so generous, your product is definitely #yummyGoodness. I will be returning and spreading the word!!! #certifiedfoodtester“

“Amazing customer service to go along with these AMAZING Desserts!!!“

“We’ve seen Panorama’s treats at our local weekend farmers market in Fairfax and have enjoyed everything we’ve tried so far. The setup is always excellent, the team is always nice, and the treats are always delicious! We are looking forward to trying their sourdough loaf next.“

“I ordered a cake from The Cake Courtsean for my mom’s 80th surprise birthday party! It was not only beautiful it was delicious! She was very professional and the the cake I sent her a picture of for the design is the cake we got. My family moved here from Hampton, VA 11 months ago and she will now be my baker for any family events! (The cake in the right is the one I sent her a picture of. The one on the left is the cake she made!!!)“

“Y’all, when I say everything is perfect everything is perfect 👌🏾 let me start by saying customer service is wonderful when I first walked in, I was greeted by a young man, he took my order and read me back everything I told him I wanted! I had got the two whitening dinner meal for me and my brother. I got the Fried whitening with double Mac and my brother got the bake beans with the casserole. When I say the fish was so delicious it was well seasoned and the Mac was delicious as well very cheesy it don’t taste like the Mac & cheese out of the box there somebody of these restaurants keep giving us.“
