    Came in a little after opening to get some cupcakes. The flavors we wanted were not ready yet but they were able to put icing on the strawberry cupcakes so that we could at least get two of those. We thought that was nice! But we're still wondering why everything wasn't already ready for opening. I wasn't in love with the cupcakes but the red velvet with cream cheese icing was my favorite

    Updating my review because I left for a couple of years and came back. It's just as good as it always was!! Love the selection of cookies, macarons, and other baked goods. It's all delicious. Still quite small, but I did see a couple of groups of 2-3 hanging out at the small tables.

    Cute shop filled with lots of treats! Order at the counter and they offer some seating to enjoy as well. Went there to purchase some vegan cookies for one of my colleagues. They had a great selection and each cookie is wrapped individually. I bought 5 and will report back after they try them. The shop has cookies, cupcakes, cakes, breads, and some other goodies that include vegan and gluten-free options. I couldn't resist a slice of their gingerbread bread with cream cheese icing. I was not disappointed at all and worth every calorie - dense, moist and the right spice level. Glad I don't live close to there because I likely would be stopping in a couple more times during the season. They also had gluten free mint brownies that looked delicious. The person helping me said those are a staple, so something I'll likely try in the future.

    I preordered a 3 layer cake for delivery in downtown dc. They called to complete my order right away, and delivery driver was super nice and on time. The cake was SO good. I'm not a cake person, but I got a bday cake for my friend who is big time. You will not be disappointed. It's a bit pricey but my goodness worth every single penny and bite!!!

    4.5 stars. Came here for a pick me up on a rainy day, knowing that we weren't doing anything too special for Thanksgiving. Went inside and it was a lot busier than I remember from Covid days -- happy to see the business is thriving! Long line and super busy, but we were leading up to Thanksgiving so that was expected Unfortunately since Covid days, I developed a pretty strong intolerance to gluten. I'm grateful that though there weren't many options, they marked clearly what is gluten free. Few brownies and mostly all macarons were gluten free. We picked up a mint frosted gluten free brownie. It was on the higher side for pricing at around $7 after tax and tip, but it was still pretty good. Definitely more of a once in a while treat than a weekly thing, especially how rich the brownie was. Not too much seating if I remember any, and it's a little packed to comfortably eat anyway. More of a take away place than a sit down bakery. I recommend giving them a try if you're in the area! They also have a Georgetown location if that's more local to you.

    This is one of my go to spots when I want a sweet treat, but don't feel like making it for myself. The cherry scones are good, and make a nice breakfast with a cup of tea. I purchased a variety of cupcakes to share with my coworkers, I liked the strawberry, Red Velvet, and chocolate with vanilla buttercream. I was not a fan of the snickerdoodle cupcake.

    This was my first time at the VA location after loving the Georgetown location for a while. I stopped by and got an iced vanilla latte, some cookies, and a savory scone. Everything was excellent and the service was friendly and fast

    Sweet little coffee shop and bakery in Clarendon. This place is a cutie shop with hr nicest staff. I have come in here a couple times for their cookies and have not been disappointed. Great alternative to the pricier coffee shops down the street( looking at you Tatte )

    Jenny M.

    The place was neat and looks cozy. They have only indoor sittings and mostly people stop-by for takeout than dining in. Staff were eager to help and really help to provide recommendations for your likings. We had their ice cream which is the cookie vanilla sandwich and the Macaron Red Velvet ice cream. For sweet tooth go for the cookies for the mid sweet, go for the macaron. The combination was so good! We will surely go back to this place!

    I always believe that you should save room for dessert. I was excited to see this bakery after visiting a nearby restaurant. As soon as you walk in there is a freezer and a cold case filled with frozen ice cream sandwiches and cold desserts like banana pudding and cake slices. Behind the counter is the display case of cookies, cupcakes, macarons and various other dessert items. I had a hard time deciding what to try first. I went with two cookies and a cupcake. The cookies were very large. The peanut butter was flavorful but had a dry aftertaste. The chocolate chip cookie was made with brown butter which brought out the sweetness in the cookie. There were two options for the red velvet cupcake. I chose the buttercream option. The cake part was light and airy. The cupcake was on the smaller side. The icing was not overly sweet. The bake shop was not crowded when I was there which allowed me a chance to see what other options were available. However I could see if the place was busier, I would have felt pressured to pick things quickly so that I would not be holding up the line.

    Hi, Do you make entire banana cream pies for purchase ? If so, how much notice is required for an order? Thanks!

    Hi - Sorry. We don't make banana cream pie.

    Do you have anything that is both gluten free and vegan?

    Hi! Currently we make a blondie bar that is both. We don't have it everyday, so the best thing to do is give us a call if you're interested in coming by for it. Thanks!

    Are you able to give at least a rough estimate of how much sugar (i.e how many grams) is in an average cookie and macaron?

    Hi - Unfortunately we don't make custom cookies. So sorry!

    Hi, do you make cookie cakes?

Those French tarts with frangipane-all sublime! All the tea cookies were simply butter, sugar, a little flour-simple and delicious! And those fabulous individual pastries were jewel -like in flavor & in decoration. Anytime I would bring a box filled with PbR's jewels to a friend's home, office party or to my neighbors' block party; I WAS THE DESSERT STAR; deservedly, sharing the best with friends. Then a neighbor brought a PbR coconut cake with lemon curd to our block party and I could not finished my slice... thin cake layers, the "buttercream" was not very buttery but sweet & gritty, what lemon curd?!

Not so much now. Now it is good but not exceptional like in the past. Their pastries are getting smaller and the prices have gone up. There is also inconsistencies in quality, with some items being slightly overcooked. Napoleons - these are about half the previous size. Still very good though. Strawberry eclair - smaller than previous. Also, the shell is consistently overcooked now. Quiches - these are around a third of the previous size. Sometimes they are overcooked and dry. Also, the mixed veggie quiche is much smaller in depth to the spinach one Various danishes (cheese, apple, cherry, sticky buns) - all around a third of their previous size. Still great quality and tasty though Sfogliatella (Italian pastry) - surprisingly, these are larger than they used to be. These are not good anymore though. The filling tastes good, but it's a weird texture now that they make it larger. The pastry shell is really hard and chewy now that they are larger. These used to be the greatest ever. It's a shame. Cannoli - tried this for the first time today. Won't ever do that again. The shell was good and crispy. The filling was a weird color and had tiny chocolate chips in it. You could tell it was several days old because the chips were soggy. Also, they filled it when we ordered it - and they just put a tiny bit of filling in it so we could actually see through the shell. Not good.

I ordered the pistachio latte, ham & cheese croissant, regular coffee, and a slice of carrot cake. The pistachio latte was very good, although a little on the sweet side. The carrot cake was a standout. The slice was huge, moist, and not overly sweet or heavy on the coconut. There were bits of toffee (I think!) around the outer frosting that added a delicious little crunch. The croissant itself was flaky and delicious, but the ham and cheese filling was pretty minimal. Good thing I wasn't too hungry! If you're looking for something more substantial, the lunch sandwiches they were putting out looked like they would do the trick. The interior is bright and spacious, with a high bar along the wall, several chairs, a high-top table, and smaller tables throughout. There's also a patio for nice-weather days. One thing to watch out for: some of the tables wobble. I discovered this the hard way when I accidentally spilled my wife's coffee just trying to sit down. Apparently, the table wanted to participate in breakfast too. The staff was friendly, and with so many options to choose from, there's definitely something for everyone. I'd happily come back to try more of their pastries and sandwiches. A great first visit with plenty of tasty options, though I'd like to see a little more ham and cheese in that croissant!
