“Lemonade Bakery is the only bakery I go to. Everything is delicious and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. Plus added bonus they are dairy and nut free so don’t ever have to worry about allergies. Hands down the best place in old town. Support for local businesses!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! They are wonderful with allergies, and all their treats are so good. One of the only places I trust eating at. Customer service is great and it’s a nice atmosphere with local art all over the shop. I love Honey and Ivy. 🥰“

Dietary restrictions: I needed low sugar cupcakes and cake and she was able to accommodate me with no problems.“

“The best Turkish home made food. This family business will make you feel home with their warm hospitality the owner and his wife and kids will ensure to give toy a taste of back home. The food is the best I ever had since 2014. I can’t say enough about how happy I am to find this place❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The dolce de leche cake was delicious! Everyone in the family enjoyed it. We will be ordering again.“

“Delicious cupcakes- so many flavors to choose from! Even delivered them as a birthday surprise! AMAZING customer service - 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!“

“This cake was DELICIOUS!!! My friend purchased a Randy Cake for my twins 1st Birthday. Hands down the best tasting cake I have ever had. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It was lemon cake with almond buttercream. It looked amazing and was scrumptious to eat. In addition, she made gluten free carrot cake cupcakes that were equally tasty. Everyone was able to enjoy a treat. I will be purchasing more in the future. ❤️❤️❤️“

“WOW is right!! I am a first-time customer and ultimately ordered a dozen construction-themed cookies for my son's 3rd birthday party. Melissa messaged me back straight away and offered two different cookie options -- screen-printed vs hand-cut with pricing. I sent her a link to the party decorations I bought, and she was able to create AMAZING screen-printed cookies using images from a digital invitation. Melissa answered all of my questions thoroughly, particularly about how long the cookies would stay fresh, and provided tons of advice about how to display the cookies and how to best freeze them if we wanted to keep a couple for after the party. I am not exaggerating when I say these are the thickest, most delicious sugar cookies I have ever tasted. My husband and I sampled one after pick-up, and they are truly out-of-this-world good! Melissa has absolutely gained a customer for life, and I cannot wait to work with her again.“

“We tried the empanadas today at the Dumfries Farmers market and they were delicious! Lots of flavor. We will be back for sure!“

“My work ordered the individual cheesecakes and they were incredible. In fact, as soon as I finished eating mine I hopped on here to leave a review. I had the banana cream cheesecake and it was the best cheesecake I've ever had. The flavor and texture were so rich without being too heavy. We were also able to get gluten free cakes which helped immensely in accommodating the dietary needs of everyone in our office.

Delivery was on time and they were super polite and considerate. The cakes came packaged very nicely and with neat labelling. But even if they had dropped it off late in a plastic bag while cussing me out, I'd still tell you to buy from them because the cakes were that good. You won't regret your order!!“

“Best durian doughnuts and other pastries“

“Heavenly pastries!!! I absolutely love the almond croissants and pain au raisins. Their pastries remind me of true European pastries. Best quality, light and fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. DELICIOUS and quite addicting.“

“The food is delicious and everyone is kind and friendly. Highly recommend- especially the cheesecake bars!“

“I would definitely recommend this bakery! We had a delicious tres leches cake for our bridal shower fiesta and everyone wanted to know where it was from. It was almost too beautiful to eat! The bakery is full of yummy treats, and the staff is also very friendly and helpful.“

“Worst location. I have never been in Panera Bread this dirty before. I visit this chain few times a week all over norther VA, this place was bad…every table was dirty and greasy, filthy bathroom..it was horrible. I felt like getting up and leaving right away. I told one of the employees that tables need to be wiped and he acknowledged the issue. Ten minutes later I saw one of employees running around spraying tables barely wiping them dry. I had to get up and finish the job myself. Panera Bread, this is not up to your standards! Very disappointing. Will avoid this location at all cost.

UPDATE: Gave this location another try and was pleasantly surprised with an improved service and cleanliness of the place so I am updating my review rating. Please keep it up for your customers.“
