I was approved inSeptember for my pension to start in October.Supposedly Oct and November check was mailed to me on November 3 or November 7 just depends on who u talk to at the pension fund This is December 1st and I still haven't received them.But December 1st pension check was deposited in my bank account. Way can't they do the same for October and November. I am at poverty level as for as income is concerned. It's my pension that I worked hard to get. I don't know what to do other than talk to attorney to g answers Where is my 2 pension checks and is how the pension works. U get it when we feel like giving it to you. I turned 65 in July 2022 when it was suppose to start. I didn't find the right pension fund until September. So the fund decides they can't or want go back to pay me.money that I work for. So they just keep it. Please tell me why? Let's get this matter taking care of before lawyer's get involved. Thank you Johnny McBrayer“

“Bread, pies, cookies, pastries, special confections & holiday treats - all wonderful! 🤩“

“Donut King saved the day for me today! I was in search of Wi-Fi for an important work meeting after my power went out due to the snow storm. I decided to walk 1.5 miles in the snow to the Starbucks nearby only to be turned away as they were only taking drive-through customers. Thankfully I decided to walk around the corner and found Donut King was open with free Wi-Fi! The employees were so nice and friendly despite the cold. I ordered a cappuccino and logged onto my computer just in time for my meeting. My coffee was hand delivered, along with several donuts on the house, which turned out to be the only food I had for much of the day. This was an unexpected and delightful treat. Thank you, Donut King, for making my day!! I hope others will read this review and give this place a try. The food is great and the warm and welcoming atmosphere is hard to find these days. This is a neighborhood gem!! Please support local businesses and give this place a try.“

“Was in the area, and decided to stop in and check out Old Town Market. Nice quaint spot, plenty of sandwich options, wine options. I tried the cheesecake and it was absolutely delicious (and huge). Friendly, welcoming people, reasonable prices. It’s a to-go kind of place, no seating inside.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“Classic Bakery made a delicious and beautiful birthday cake for a special birthday celebration!! My lactose free requedt was honored and handled with care. My friend was delighted with her birthday surprise. Thank you, ɔBakery“

“This is hands down the best bakery I have ever been to. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything they have. My personal favs from my recent visit were the scallion, egg & cheese croissant, crab rangoon croissant, and strawberry milk donut. If you are in the area while Rose Ave is open, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by. The only negative thing i can say about going here is that, for people who do not live in or frequent the DC area, you will forever long to return. There was almost 5 years between my first and second visit here, and i dreamed of that return every single day.“

“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.“

“Consistently delicious! Normally, I just go for the cookies, cronuts, and petit fours. This time we tried all things savory. We were invited to a German Christmas Market Themed party — very specific I know… Since it was a potluck, we decided to make currywurst. Heidelberg’s brats for the recipe were so good. We also grabbed their huge soft pretzel (yum) and their curry spread (double yum). Whether you go sweet or savory, you can’t go wrong. Love this bakery!“

“I finally gave in to the hype and went to try this $6 cookie.

The chocolate walnut cookie is a big boi, the form factor is half the point. The exterior has a satisfying crispy, buttery crunch that gives way to a doughy (but fully cooked) interior. Big, textured walnut pieces add a nice bite.

That said, it is quite sweet. The chocolate is overwhelming, even by cookie standards (though I understand it looks great on Instagram).

If I do try another cookie, I’ll be eating it in two sittings instead of one 🫡“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“It was my first time going to this place , the staff can try to be more welcoming and pleaseant and help they clients to order , I had to take my mask off to speak and let them know what i wanted and as i was ordering I felt like i was being rushed to order , the food was tasting but tge owner needs to change the way the food is charged , I was charge for each separate item this is not a place where you order yourself a complete meal for a full charge , the food was delicious but I would not go back and another turn off in the bakery area they had flies around the sweet bread .“

“I’ve ordered 2 cakes now and consistently then have been 10 out 10 for flavor and design. Their cakes are cute and fun while tasting delightful- you can taste the real ingredients, and every bite is light but sweet without over doing it. The owners are also very nice, family oriented and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious cookies and always friendly staff. Great for celebrations or just a treat to brighten your or someone else’s day! Something for everyone’s taste. There are a few regular flavors (sugar, chocolate chip…) and then 4 or more other flavors that change each week. I recommend placing your order on the app. You’ll get points toward free cookies and a cookie on your bday.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“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!“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“I love coming to this Paris baguette every week before work. julieth was incredibly helpful and inviting. I was in a rush as I had a bus to catch and she quickly rung me up and got me a bag to hold my delicious pastries. Great customer service! I’ll definitely be coming back, not just for the tasty food, but the great staff ! :3“

“The food here was incredible and the ambiance is very nice! There is a nice variety of beverages, especially cold ones for the summer time. The staff were super friendly, especially Enrique, who came to chat with us. Although they weren’t doing seating service, the food arrived at our table very fast.“

“We have lived in the apartments around Mirabeau for a few years and they have become our Saturday ritual. The pastries are always amazing (ham and cheese croissant, chicken turnover, scones, and macarons are our favorites), coffee drinks are perfect (try the peanut latte), and the service is superb!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette. The bakery was clean, welcoming, and filled with an amazing selection of pastries, cakes, breads, and coffee. Everything looked fresh, and the quality definitely matched the presentation. Paris Baguette is known for its handcrafted pastries, breads, cakes, and specialty drinks, and my visit lived up to that reputation.

The staff was friendly and patient while I decided what to order, and my food was delicious. The pastries were light, flavorful, and not overly sweet, and the coffee paired perfectly with them. The atmosphere was cozy and made it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet treat.

I’ll definitely be back to try more items from their menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality baked goods and a pleasant café experience! 🍰☕🥐“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“I ordered a cake on Thursday at 1 pm to be picked up 4:30 pm on Friday for a birthday party. The man who picked up the phone was so accommodating and made sure that the customized message had the correct spelling of my name. When the cake was picked up, the lady was extremely lovely and kind. 10/10 would recommend and will be buying another birthday cake (very soon) from this bakery. I have also visited this bakery before to buy a n emergency cake and they have lots in the display case available. Perfect, delicious cakes. The one I got (raspberry chocolate mouse) was semi sweet and light, good for adults.“

“Delicious, fresh French pastry, ambient atmosphere and super friendly owner!“

“Highly recommended! Very delicious food, excellent service, and absolutely great place.“

“We’ve always loved Baked & Wired’s goods, and we knew they would make the perfect cake for our wedding day. Of course, they delivered. Baked & Wired was very easy to work with and the cake was just right! Our guests loved it, and we can’t wait to eat the last slice on our one year anniversary!“

“Great food, fun atmosphere. Miguel was the best! Would visit again!“

“Love the idea of a bread speakeasy! It’s a little hard to find though, they usually sell out of bread by noon, and the prices are pretty steep so I’ll dock a star for that. Recommend the Kouign Amann (5.80) and their cranberry walnut sourdough (13.50).“

“I loved my first time experiencing the original salt pretzel. They were warm upon pickup. I ate one in the car, and the other about an hour later. Deliciousness! May be trouble for me because it’s so close to home!“

“A breakfast restaurant can provide a comfortable setting for traditional morning meals, coffee, sandwiches, and other daytime options. A varied menu allows different preferences to be accommodated, while efficient service is especially important during busy morning hours. Compared with a quick grab-and-go option, a full breakfast restaurant provides a more relaxed dining environment. Fresh preparation, reasonable portions, and a comfortable atmosphere all contribute to a more enjoyable experience for casual morning dining.“

Dakota, Paul, and Kevin provided exceptional service from start to finish, they took the time to walk me through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even crafted a special drink just for me that was outstanding. The baked goods were absolutely delicious as well. Truly great hospitality all around, and I really appreciated the extra care they put into making the experience memorable. Highly recommend!“

“Just found the place today. This is, without exaggeration or hyperbole, the best chicken pot pie I have ever had in my entire life. And THEN we had the Tart Cherry with flaky crust for dessert - if it’s not the best I’ve ever had, it’s in the top 3. WOW.“

“All American Vegan exceeded expectations. Ordered a cake for next day for my partners birthday. Sonia even went out of her way to offer delivery to help accommodate me as I am only able to travel at certain times due to health.
Her communication was stellar, making sure that I was happy with the order and the payment process couldn't be more simple.
All vegan and all delicious. The cake was loved and positivity was spread. Thank you, Sonia 🫶🙌“

“Awesome pastries, bread and other baked goods. Very creative seasonal menu that uses fruit and veggies at the peak of their flavor. Love love love it!“

“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“

“lives up to the hype. delicious cookies. not too sweet and great textures. got an americano with the sweet treat, and the coffee was decent as well.

2 cookies + 2 coffees came out to about 19 bucks....but one cookie definitely does fill you up.

it would be nice if they warmed the cookie up before serving.“

“Custom Cake Designs made my wedding cake dreams come true! The cake was everything I dreamed of, came on time, and the team was incredible to work with! They even created an espresso filling for us! Thank you for a delicious wonderful cake!“

“Awesome service and food.“
