“My grandson and I go every weekend that we can to pick out a few treats. We know how wonderful their cakes are and luckily we had an excuse that it was my grandsons birthday so we were able to purchase one of their magnificent cakes. And we look forward to my upcoming birthday when we will get another one! The absolutely best cakes in town“
“I loved this spot! We went around 4 PM on a Tuesday and it was lovely, quiet, and delicious. The staff clearly love being there and provided top notch service, with several recommendations. The not-pizza’s are pretty big, so one was enough to split when we ordered hummus, the carrots, and the olives too. We are so lucky to have this incredible Palestinian spot for delicious food, pastries, drinks, and even coffee!!“
“The donuts are filled up soooo much and it was delicious. We were waiting outside til opening and wow, did the line get long! I am not sure if its always like this or if it was because of a race this particular weekend. It was a pretty quick turn around though. Wouldn't deter me from coming back. Would definitely get another donut and want to try their breakfast sandwiches!“
“We walked by this place not really looking to eat but the exterior stopped us in our tracks. We looked in and saw all the pastries and decided to make a quick pit stop. We got a Pistachio Meringue Roulette to share. Mistake. Should have gotten one for myself. The flavors work perfectly together. I also got the Strawberry Matcha to wash it all down and I’m still thinking about it. Wish they would bottle that stuff!“
“I kept hearing about this popular cupcake place and finally came to try their Chai-infused pistachio and Almond Orange cream cupcakes. They were so good and just melted in my mouth! I appreciate that they also offer vegan options. The staff provided friendly service, and the ambiance was artistic - it felt like a comfortable neighborhood coffee shop.Vegetarian options: They have vegan cupcakes, and all coffee drinks are available with plant-based milk options.“
“The food was good, but definitely not worth $57 a person on a Thursday night….We ordered four dishes (fermented cabbage toast, arancini, thai fried chicken, and scallop crudo) and had a drink each. Portions were small, even the “entrees.” Will not go back anytime soon for dinner. Our waiter was very nice though.*Came back over a year later for dinner because of an InKind Coupon. The $50 off $50 made the meal more worth it. But still expensive for what youre getting.“
“This location is a nice gem in Georgetown - I frequent here and treat myself when I want a delicious bake good - this past visit I had a delicious cinnamon bun - it was absolutely delicious and of course a nice cup of hot brew! Perfect location for the cookies as well - never too early or late in the afternoon for nice cup of coffee and a delicious bake good!“
“Stopped by for the first time and got the Normande tart. It was delicious. I also got a lemon cake, but we're saving it for later.The staff was friendly and very helpful. He recommended eating the tart a bit warm to really get the best flavor, and he was right. It tasted amazing.We ate the lemon cake for dessert, and it was very good.I will definitely be back to try the other pastries.“
“Amazing croissants. So flakey and full of wonderful filling. A great value! The mango pannacotta was amazing! The value for the price was fantastic as well! I briefly met the owner. The sweetest person you will ever meet! If I lived in town, I would be here ALL THE TIME!“
“Wow, I love this place and am counting down the days until my next visit! It's a good thing I don't live nearby or I would be here all the time! Pistachio croissant is amazing and coffee is on point! The staff is so wonderful too. Definitely pay them a visit if you can!“
“I visited the West End location with my husband while visiting DC and had a phenomenal experience. Aside from the food being absolutely to die for, the customer service is really what impressed me. At the register, we were greeted by an older black woman who was so kind to share suggestions and explain the menu to me despite being very busy. It truly made the ordering experience a breeze. My latte was delivered by a younger light skinned black male and I am not sure where he received his customer service training by but by far he’s got it down pat. After delivering my order he told me, “have a nice day, okay?” but it wasn’t just a pleasantry, it truly seemed like a genuine request. I am beyond impressed with the food, ambiance, and customer service provided!“
“Lovely little spot in Georgetown for authentic French baked goods. They use mostly French ingredients to get as close to the “real thing” as I’ve had in DC. Staff is friendly, efficient, and there is a nice patio in the back to enjoy your coffee.“
“My beautiful grandson is in the NICU at the Children’s Hospital. Today as my daughter, her husband and grandmother arrived they were greeted with a delicious box lunch from your establishment. We’re not sure of the organization that gifted us this lunch so we say THANK YOU!“
“10/10.Very cozy place. You have to queue because it is always full. But I'm not surprised, since the food they make is incredible.The sandwiches left me speechless, to say they were good is a huge understatement.The hot chocolate they serve was also delicious. Ideal to warm up on cold days.I would definitely return to Washington just to have breakfast here.Great!!“
“Chocolate pistachio croissant - 5 stars. so good and will be returning for this. Any place that has pistachio pastries is a place for me. Morning bun - very flavorful (cardamom & lemon) but a bit too dry for me. 3 stars Espresso & tonic - I did not like this at all, and will definitely get a safer drink option next time. There was a line at 130pm which I was surprised about, but it moved very quickly and we had no trouble finding a seat. Cute place, will be returning!“
“I ordered two cake slices and a Swiss roll to bring to a dinner and they were all delicious! The cake and frosting are not too sweet, and the fruit flavors taste like fresh fruit. The packaging is cute and makes each cake slice look like a gift. The store has lots of Japanese treats as well as the baked goods, and I will be returning to try more things.“
“I love Pasha Castle! All of the treats are delightful. The staff was very helpful, and we were able to taste test some things to help make our decision- which wasn’t easy with some many delicious options. The Pasha Special is to die for, and the Turkish Delight options make me feel at home. The only downside to this place is that there are limited seating options, and the atmosphere and design are very minimalistic for those who might want to eat there treats while here instead of taking them to-go.“
“Cute little coffee shop with the flakiest chocolate croissant I’ve ever had! Got there a few minutes after opening and picked up a still warm chocolate croissant, mango danish, and spinach feta danish? or croissant ?… can’t remember… Would definitely come back to try the other pastries !“
“The food was really good - couldn’t be faulted! Service was excellent too.My only gripe was the amount of single use plastic items in the cafe. Everything from the plate to the cup to the cutlery was disposable. We need to do better by our planet.“
“This place is dangerously close to our place and my partner and I are obsessed. The raspberry and apricot cakes are unbelievably good--and I'm not even a fruity dessert gal. The chocolate cake is the best in DC and I'm dying to try the coconut almond one they have, but it's only for special order. Can't wait for the next occasion! Also, the woman who is usually behind the counter is always patient with me as I struggle to make my mind up about which slice to order every time! I <3 Sharbat!!“
“I stop in here almost weekly, and the lattes have been great! The first time I went I also had the coffee cake which was really good & soft as well. Even at the end of their day I was greeted with a cheery bonjour and was able to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of a great coffee break. I have to note that on my visit last week I left without being able to order as it seemed as though the one person working was taking out trash and must’ve not seen me & the other gentleman that were perusing the shop…but I’m sure it was just an oversight as I’ve been told that this area can be pretty slow on Tuesday afternoons. Really great coffee, and a really great experience otherwise. Bonne chance! ?“
“The selection is limited, but their breads are incredible. The cranberry walnut bread is the same bread found at le diplomate. My favorite bread is the black sesame harissa. Expect to wait in line. Only about three people fit in the store at a time, but it’s worth it.“
“I got exactly what I wanted. The cake was just perfect in design and delicious. Heidy came through for my daughter in short notice and I 100% recommend her services if you want quality and delicious cakes. Thanks Heidy, you made my Princess’s day and I am definitely coming back.“
“Upon entering the facility, I was showing my mom what cookies were available for the week, waiting for the kiosk when one of the employees asked if we would like help. They took our order and showed us the beautiful cookies. I had a jammy heart cookie that was sweet and delicious!“
“I got the chocolate croissant, and was really surprised when I realized it was a whole wheat croissant. The first whole wheat croissant I've ever had, and it really adds a nice nutty flavor to the croissant. The texture of the inside is also a bit chewier than your average croissant, with a lovely crisp on the outside. I just wish there was a bit more chocolate, but the croissant itself was wonderful, and I'm super glad I got to try the whole wheat. I also got a cortado, which was just ok. This is definitely a bakery first, so would highly recommend stopping by and grabbing some of the pastries!“
“This lovely bakery and café offers a wide variety of baked goods. Not only do they look amazing, but they taste great, too. In addition to their baked goods, they also serve other food items, including breakfast, with plenty of options. Their coffee is also fantastic, making it the perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea, relax while sipping coffee, or have desserts with friends. The trendy design features white tile walls and modern light fixtures on the ceiling. The service is excellent, and every aspect of the place is great.“
“These pretzels were absolutely delicious. We tried the original, garlic, onion, and jalapeño varieties. The pretzel roll was also delicious. Note that these are made to order and that you'll need to order from the website and they'll bring them out to your car. The yellow and spicy brown mustard were good, but I hope that they'll offer a larger variety of dips (including some sweet ones like cinnamon sugar or chocolate icing) in the future. Prices were reasonable and allowed for us to try some flavors we wouldn't normally order. The owner was friendly and left us with a positive impression.Parking: Parking available directly across from the entrance.Wheelchair accessibility: You can order and stay in the car. Full service.“
“We couldn’t resist! Everything was delicious and unique! My son’s favorite was the strawberry cream filled pastry and mine are the black sesame bun (not pictured, devoured) and the tahini cookie AND the truffle and ham pastry. Parking at the National Building Museum where their pop-up is was easy! Seriously, you’ve GOT to give their pastries a try!“
“Phenomenal Bakery!!! The individual who assisted me (I believe his name was Tony). Decorated beautiful cupcakes for me on the spot for a last minute birthday dinner I was heading too that same day. EVERYONE at the dinner spoke about how delicious & beautiful the cupcakes were. The birthday girl later said it was the best Red Velvet Cupcake she has ever tasted in her life lol. Thank you for your kind, swift, delicious service!!“
“Really great food - they have really yummy breakfast sandwiches which are always hot off the panini press. They have just really great baked goods too, beautiful cakes and cupcakes and then also traditional bakery items like croissants, cookies, etc - which are all insanely delicious. I think I've tried about everything from Buzz at this point and can say the food and coffee is fantastic. It's also a really great work environment so I come here to work from my laptop pretty often. The tables in the back facing the entrance are great - there is great lighting there for zoom meetings and it's never too loud in there.“
“This place is a community. Come in the morning and observe local Ethiopians getting together for coffee and meals. What a place!Staff is friendly. Barista serve flavorful coffee using Ethiopian beans and in high volume. When they offer to coat it bombolino in sugar, take it. Prices are affordable as well!Next visit I'll have to try their food. Only had enough time for coffee and sweets today.“
“After tax and tip, breakfast for 3 was $89.... at a "take a number and seat yourself" coffee shop/bakery.... my other qualm was that on the website they have an "all day menu" but when we got there we were told they were only serving brunch. So all day menu but only on certain days? Maybe I misread. They forgot to bring our coffees when they said they would run it to us and they forgot our croissant with the food. But everyone that worked there was pretty friendly! And the place was really clean. I got the Cubano. It was okay. I understand why it was $20, I got a half a loaf of french bread with a pound of pork. It was ok. Menu advertised herb ham on it but it was more like a maple ham. Weird. Mom liked her brioche french toast, it was good. The lox on toast was okay. Kinda wish the toast was actually crispy. Its not bad but I have zero desire to return after spending almost $90 for breakfast. I get it this place is new so hopefully they round out some of these kinks. With how expensive it is I expect things to be a bit tighter.“
“This bakery was right next door to our lunch spot, and my mom was telling me this place makes great Latin American pastries, so after lunch, we wandered in here to take a look. I tend to like Asian pastries more, but the bread pudding slice caught my eye, so I gave it a try. My mom likes all kinds of pastries and picked a few of their pan dulces. I saw churros available, but skipped this time around. My bread pudding was delicious and my mom said her pan dulces are good. Inside the bakery, it was buzzing with people and there is also a hot food counter too. The prices are very reasonable here and I would definitely come back again to have their bread pudding and next time, will have a churro!“

Service is Good they Have Breakfast there the place is Busy and it's of a Major intersection in Washington D.C 4 Blocks Over near the Capital.... Everything Taste Good... And the Bathrooms are very Clean... Place is Run correctly with Nice and Attractive People..“
“I haven't been here in awhile, but it was a great discovery. It was a bit difficult to locate the entrance, but well worth the effort. Service is friendly, fast & efficient. Best of all, the bakery items are delicious. It's a straightforward, lovely bakery with talented bakers. Time to pay them another visit!“
“We were staying in the area for a few days and stopped here twice, once for pretzels and the second time for the breakfast sliders. Both equally delicious! Definitely could eat a breakfast slider every morning. Staff was friendly. Service quick.“
“A great, casual, local cafe and bakery with amazing pastries. We keep trying new things on the menu every time we go and everything so far has been delicious. There are good savoury and sweet options such as the smoked salmon croissant and the brioche donut. You can also grab whole cakes and small gifts if you’re entertaining at home.The staff have always been friendly and helpful whenever we have been there. The cafe has a laidback atmosphere - I often see people working or catching up in there.“
“Enjoyed the breads and desserts that were bought. My Daughter is a GF from wheat allergies. They're are alot of bad GF breads out there but rise had there combinations of flours and other ingredients down. Everything tasted like their gluten counterparts there creating. Just wish there was a way to make a croissant, flaky like an original croissant. 5☆ for this bakery“
“I liked the service, food and atmosphere, the thing that I liked the most was that I am allergic to certain foods and I was shocked because they had other options too. They made me a dish of things that I could eat. I was so comfortable. It’s not like other places I’ve been to that says “this is the only things we have” and don’t have options for us who are allergic. Also the workers are so nice“
“This was my first time here and the cakes are delicious! But the most impressive about this experience was the customer service. I was greeted, walked through the process, given tons of samples and they even loaded the car for me so the cake that I ordered would transport safely.This place is almost 40 minutes away from where I live, but totally worth the trip! I will return often!!!“
“What an adorable coffee shop/bakery nestled in the Navy Yard! I was immediately taken with all the floral accents and the antique French decor of the space... tea party vibes! I came in to kill some time so I ordered a cappuccino and the curried egg salad tartine. Food and service were great. Surprisingly I found the place to be quiet, peaceful and not very loud. I would love to see a maman open in Tampa!“
“This small tucked-away gem, on Grace St, is so yummy and a must for everyone who enjoys tasty treats, friendly service and a giving mind-set. Working with and supporting veterans to take them to the next steps in their post-military journey is the mission. The cafe menu has allergy-friendly options, pastry sandwiches, and fresh-baked cookies and cakes. Thank you for creating a great program and thank you to all of our veterans for your service.“
“The food is scrumptious I would eat it any day of the week, It was great loved it. The service was amazing the guy who was serving me was super nice, he was awesome. There was also a nice cozy space in the room, that I loved. My experience there was just great I’d say 10/10 once again it was just awesome.“
“We are so glad to see this cafe do well in our neighborhood. I believe in cafes in every neighborhood. We walk our dog every morning and grab hot chocolate and coffee when we walk by this place. They have recently redid their interiors. Looks much spacious now and very welcoming. With my drinks, I often get their samosa or spinach puffs. It's so good. For lunch, my go to is their Ethiopian combo. They have 5 different veggies and recently added meat as well. Absolutely delicious! Depending on how busy they are, expect to wait for the Ethiopian entree. Worth it.“
“I found Sweet Almond at a wedding expo but used her services for a corporate event and she didn't disappoint. I ordered a variety of macarons and Leah was great to work with from the beginning! She was very responsive, accommodating, and even dropped of my order early. She's also so sweet and wonderful to work with. Her macarons were soo good and everyone also loved them. I will definitely be ordering from her again!“
“I ordered a custom cake for a friends birthday and the customer service, communication and the cake was top tier. I felt like the whole process was smooth and the cake looked exactly like what I asked for! It also was delicious! Will be ordering again!!“
“Best bakery in dc!!Tried a cinnamon roll with icing and it was delicious. Spinach and feta crossisant was super tasty and so was chocolate espresso cookie. Also got a vanilla oat milk iced coffee and it was very good. Super nice staff and very fast service. Great prices.“
“A cute little local bakery/coffee/sandwich place. The chocolate-hazelnut croissant was delicious and the mocha was well made but the BLT was just ok.The man at the counter was incredibly friendly and kind in our interaction. He even gave me a little history on the store.“
“Only the highest quality pastries from here! They also try some unusual flavors and textures to make the pastries unique as well. Prices reflect this though. Did I pay $7 for a danish? Yes. Have I ever had a danish like that before ? No! (In a good way) Caramelized onions and basil in a cheese danish that’s also perfectly flaky? I’ll pay the $7“
