Custom Cakes near Arlington, VA

“This place isn't open on Sundays, but I forgive them. The pastry here is lovingly made with extreme attention to detail. Cream puff swans? Macarons? Croissant? tartes? volcano cake? and on and on and on and it's soooo hard to choose just one. The staff are friendly and patient, and package up your selection as if it is a newborn baby. Really great place to treat yourself, OR to get something special for someone - including celebration cakes“

“Cold Stone Creamery is one of my favorite ice cream parlors. They have a lot of flavors that you can choose from. It’s in a nice neighborhood, so you’ll enjoy the outside atmosphere. If you want an indoor space, you can enter through the Crystal shops gate where there are some tables and chairs. An excellent place to enjoy with your friends or by yourself!“

“Mike did great job. Enjoyed my visit“

“Super adorable family-owned bakery -- they also have a great drink menu and sell some packaged Asian snacks and ice cream too. Everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious but some favorites include: their cream bun (which they fill with cream right when you order it so that it's as fresh as possible and doesn't make the bread soggy), their black sesame mochi bread, and red bean and mochi bread.“

“I wish I can give wholly sweet bake shop more than 5 stars. Seda, the owner and baker is beyond amazing and talented. We hired her for our daughter's Quinceañera to make a 3 tier cake and dessert table. She took time to listen to our vision and made it happened. It was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Highly recommended, I can't wait for our next event to work with her. Thank you so much Seda!!“

“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!“

“Chunky Monkey, always so yummy 👍👍“

“Wonderful job and our girls birthday party and was hit of the day! Thank you so much!“

“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.“

“The worker greeted me with a big smile and let me try samples before ordering.
They mixed my ice cream perfectly and even added extra toppings without me asking.
The service was fast, friendly, and made the whole visit enjoyable.“

“Fantastic way for both 2- and 4-legged friends to celebrate a pup’s birthday! Shantee is the best — super friendly and helpful - thank you!“

“I had the most delicious cold stone ice cream I’ve ever had made by Abrar. She was very knowledgeable about the flavors and gave us great recommendations. She had excellent customer service and knew exactly how to fulfill my pregnancy cravings! We will definitely be back to this location.“

“This. Was. The. BEST. Cupcake. I. Have. Ever. Had.

The cupcakes are unbelievably light and fluffy! The frosting perfectly pairs! AND they are each made to order!

I ordered 6 and I’m going to have to lock myself away just so I don’t eat it all in one sitting. I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors!

Wayyyyyy better than Georgetown cupcakes!“

“Cotton's booking online makes it so easy to book a dessert table, or anything else you need for your event. I reached out to her because we were doing a corporate event and I needed a very specific theme. She heard what I was looking for and assured me that she would handle it! All the way down to the colors, she really hooked up our dessert table and everyone at our event was SO impressed and happy. I would definitely book again and recommend her for your events!“

“I worked on the naval mission of chile in Washington DC 2011-2012 (Embassy of Chile) and bought many cakes in this pastry, the best I have eaten in usa ..“

“Ordered the chajá, red velvet cake and the key lime pie. Enjoyed everything — the dulce de leche in the chajá was so rich, and I surprisingly enjoyed the nutella in the red velvet cake — but the key lime pie was a standout. Usually I find that places make key lime pie too sweet for my taste and this one does NOT have that problem 😂 Would definitely order from here again!“

“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.“

“Loved this place! We stopped in for a cappuccino and sat upstairs while we drank our cappuccinos. We didn’t order desserts, but they had a large variety of cupcakes in different flavors that looked heavenly.🧁“

“Me and friends of mine stopped by this place about a week ago after having a somewhat disappointing lunch at Birndo. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed with the interior felt fresh, clean, and inviting, with a lively atmosphere full of people. We decided to try some cake along with cappuccinos, and everything exceeded our expectations. The quality, presentation, and overall experience were fantastic, and it completely lifted our spirits after the earlier lunch. I will definitely return whenever I’m in the area to enjoy the same wonderful experience again.“

“Best cold stone I’ve been to in a while - didn’t have the old ice cream smell like other locations I’ve visited in the past. Nice service despite it being an hour before they closed. The chocolate devotion was mixed evenly and served in a timely manner. I loved the Halloween decorations!“

“My wife and i always come here when we are in the area. Upon entering, the staff immediately greeted us. They are very friendly and helpful. We ordered 2 slices and a tea and took our seats. The dining area and tables were very clean. When we were finished, the staff walked up to our table and took our plates and asked how was everything. We were very pleased and will definitely come back again.“

“I was there to bring a cake for a mother's day gift. They were very busy and the lady who work at the front desk was having too much job to handle. She is very helpful and patient of handling all that order and people. You guys need additional person at the front desk in busy days like this. Thanks!“

“Seems like everyone stopped reviewing after the pandemic. I’m guilty of that too. Ate here without looking at the reviews. I had the fillet of fish in a spicy sauce, my wife had the grilled fillet. Both exceptional. Cocktails good too. Staff member Ricardo was attentive and funny. Great sunset spot, would recommend.“

“Cold Stone Creamery in DC was an absolute delight! Abi provided exceptional service, making the visit even more enjoyable. I tried the Coffee Lovers Only ice cream, and it was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with roasted almonds, Heath Bar, and caramel. I can't wait to go back!“

“I ordered an ice cream cake for pickup. It was so pretty & a totally smooth transaction. There are lots of customization options on the website (decoration, flavors, shapes). I gave a day and a time to pick it up and they had it ready to go when I arrived.
This is a small heart shape, which they say serves 4-6. Honestly I think you could easily get 10 slices out of it.“
