“Church of The Messiah had it’s Holiday Brunch on yesterday and everything was absolutely wonderful. The welcoming environment, the food and all of the fixings. I love going to an establishment and I’m eating on wonderful china,flatware,and glassware. The owner/operator showed love and attention to every detail. I will return.“

“I had Small Cakes make cake pops for my daughter in laws baby shower and they were absolutely awesome. I’ve never had cake pops taste that good. And they even made little bears just like the pic I sent. Highly recommend!!“

“There cookies are so good!!!! #recommend“

“Where to begin... got the chance to visit Paradise Ice Cream. Great and prompt curbside pickup service. OMG the ice cream cookies are so good but the strawberry cheesecake on sugar cookie is my favorite. I wish I had taken a picture prior but there is nothing left. Can't wait to go back to try more of their homemade ice cream flavors.“

“Just did the cupcake monster decorating class at the Waldorf location and they were so sweet. My daughter asked for mermaid decorations and Chef Tai put some chocolate into a mold and into the freezer on the fly. She also did bats and ghosts on request, it was so, so sweet. Kids (4 and 3) loved it, and super tasty, too! Will definitely be back!“

“Discovered this location and stopped ina do I must say it was a pleasant experience! The two you ladies both greeted me and walked me through the different variety of cookies they had to offer —also shared their personal favorites and why, my cookie selection was a great one - I enjoyed my cranberry white chocolate cookie! They also have weekly features! The establishment was very clean and welcoming and definitely worth a visit next time you are in the area or just to come by and grab a delicious cookie or two! The cookies are very moist and filled with delicious types of chocolates - they even have an oatmeal cookie!“

“Delicious cookies. The Dubai chocolate cookie is outstanding!“

“If you’ve got a sweet tooth, Crumbl is dangerously good. The cookies are massive, soft, and served warm—basically a dessert lover’s dream. What really sets Crumbl apart is the weekly rotating menu. There’s always something new to try, from classic chocolate chip to wild, creative flavors like churro, key lime pie, or cosmic brownie. Some are hit-or-miss depending on your taste, but when they hit, they hit hard.

The presentation is also on point. The pink box feels premium, and the cookies look like they came straight out of a bakery photoshoot. They’re rich, thick, and shareable (though you might not want to share).

Only downside? They’re not cheap, and they’re definitely not “health food,” but for a treat, they’re worth every bite.

Highly recommend stopping in when a flavor catches your eye—you won’t regret it.“

“A big shout out to Charlotte at the H Street store in DC. Every time I'm in there, she kills it with her customer service! 👍“

“Cute after dinner spot to relax at. It’s busy so be mindful of the other people there. They offer a range of marshmallow sizes and give you a bag of items needed for the s’more. They also provide hand wipes for when the marshmallow gets in your fingers.

Right behind the s’more spot is a decorated tree, perfect for photos. Highly recommend if you are there with your family!“

“Ricas minutas 🤪🤪 para la calor“

“The entire process was pleasant. The initial inquiry with questions answered in great detail and suggestions for what amounts to order for a specific number. The food was very delicious. Everyone at the event kept asking about who made the food. The birthday cake was beautiful and very moist and sweet. Everything was prepared with love and delivered on time. I will definitely use their services again and would recommend then to anyone who requires catering.“

“The best!“

“Super cute little ice cream place ! They had a nice variety to choose from. We got a few different items and ENJOYED them all!! The milkshakes were thick and tasty the cones were perfectly made and the banana split was the best !! Most certainly will be returning !!“

“Lazy Mike’s is a classic neighborhood diner serving vegan, vegetarian, and meat dishes. You can substitute vegan meats for lots of the meat dishes including hot dogs, impossible burger patties, and veggie sausage. They even have vegan sorbet at the ice cream counter. Pretty reasonably priced. Updated from previous review on 2024-05-20“

“When I first came to see Olivia Macaron out in Montgomery Mall, it was no turning back. So grateful for the crew over the last seven years. 2017 until infinity. Much love to you all. 🩷🩷“

“I always stop by and get fresas con crema, which is strawberries and crème! Their treats are soooo delicious and worth a try. I’m going to explore the menu a little more as I’ve only tried the corn, fruit options, strawberries and creme and the aguas frescas. As far the customer service, the blonde haired lady and the really short lady that wears a bun are always super nice to me and have never given me an issue. I love their service and their friendliness every time I come in. There is a younger, taller girl that works in there that always gives me some type of problem. Mind you I do not visibly look hispanic, however I speak fluently, understand, read and write it.. The first time I came in, she told me they were sold out of the corn, but served another customer corn and so I said awww is there anymore and how someone else was getting it if it was sold out? As I was looking forward to it., she stated they placed a phone order, very rudely. I continued to explain that it wasn’t fair and didn’t make sense as the guy walked in after me and I heard him be asked what would he like to order. Today, she makes my strawberries and crème visibly different than any other time either one of the other ladies do it. When I looked at the cup, I returned in the store and I explained that this doesn’t look how it usually comes when I buy it with someone else. She says the blonde hair lady told the shorter lady that she’s making it wrong and that she needed to stop. I told her that it didn’t make sense because the blonde lady has also made it for me and made it the exact same way the shorter lady made it. They need to get rid of her or simply have her making orders and not speaking to customers. She is not customer service oriented, treats any visibly Hispanic customer like gold, meanwhile she spoke to very rudely until her jaw dropped on the floor when she heard me speak Spanish. Avoid HER at all cost, but please do not avoid this place. It’s soooo good, which is why I have a 5 star rating. One monkey doesn’t stop the show. 😊 I can’t wait until I visit again, because I will be having a conversation with the blonde hair lady to explain my negative visits“

“I only ordered the Mocha, which had a very good dark chocolate-espresso taste to it. Very rich. Price was higher than I paid at the Cambridge MA shop, starting to approach overpriced. Atmosphere is great with ornate decorations. Parking was hard to find.“

“Today was our first day trying peach cobbler from this restaurant! Wow, it was amazing!😋😊“

“I went here for my birthday (the staff didn’t know it was my birthday at first) and they were some of the most genuinely sweet people I’ve ever interacted with! Then, when they found out about my birthday they went even more above and beyond to make me feel special 🥰 In house I got the cereal milk soft serve with the corn flake crumble and an iced coffee overall an 11/10 ☺️ Very happy with my experience!!“

“I love Chè Bà Ba , chè Thưng“

“This location is very consistent with good service and quality food.“

“We’ve been loyal customers of Insomnia Cookies in Georgetown for years, and it remains our favourite spot for something sweet. A big part of why we keep coming back is Addis and the entire team. Addis is truly the best — always greeting us with a big smile and genuine warmth that makes every visit a pleasure. She and the staff create such a welcoming atmosphere. Keep up the great work! 🇬🇧“
