$5 chai

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.

3 layer cake

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!!!

Gluten free mint brownie

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.

Sydney G.

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

Cupcakes

Absolutely delicious cupcakes! Really awesome variety of flavors too. Carrot cake was to DIE for!!

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.

I've been a devoted customer at Bakeshop for a couple of years, and it never fails to impress. During my latest visit, I picked up some cupcakes and macarons for a family event, and they were nothing short of fantastic. This time i went earlier in the morning (around 11AM) and noticed that they only had their standard daily cupcakes ready, which are delicious in their own right, though specialty cupcakes appear later in the day. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and always willing to assist. While there is limited seating available if you'd like to enjoy a breakfast sandwich on site, I would suggest takeaway as a more comfortable option. I love their Key Lime Pie - it's a family favorite. I make it a point to special order it for many family gatherings in the summer. Additionally, their gluten-free brownies are a huge success, even among those who don't typically follow a gluten-free diet. Overall, the Clarendon Bakeshop remains a cherished spot for delectable treats and welcoming service.

This shop is very unsuspecting... My friends and I were on our way to another bakery when we walked past Bakeshop- we didn't think much of as it was a small and cozy shop; but I am so glad we tried it. They offered a lot of non-basic flavors for macarons, and a lot of cupcake options. They also offered cookie sandwiches as well. Taro Macaron: 3.8 of 5 - it tasted "sweet with a hint of taro" Pandan Macaron: 5 of 5 - I loved this macaron so much, the taste of the Pandan really came through with each bite I highly recommend checking out this bakeshop; I would definitely come back for their Pandan and to try other macarons!

In terms of drinks, I tried the lavender latte and the tiramisu latte which were delicious and served me well when I needed an evening pick-me-up. And I am pretty sure every macaroon is delicious so you really can't go wrong with the flavors you choose. On separate occasions, I ended up sampling a variety of flavors, including birthday cake, hazelnut pistachio, Earl Grey, coconut, rose, blueberry lavender, and coffee. I truly appreciated how fresh and light each taste was, perfectly reflecting the artistry in the making of these macarons. The service was efficient and friendly, and the display case was a feast for the eyes--full of stunning, mouthwatering desserts. I hope everyone has as wonderful an experience as I did, enjoying both the coffee and the patisserie. Happy desserting to all!

It's rich, creamy, and decadent and tastes like dessert in a cup but isn't overwhelmingly sweet. Next up are the sweet treats and pastries. They are very reasonably priced. They have two types of chocolate croissants: one with an outer chocolate coating and one pain au chocolat. Both were slightly over $3. They also have a milky bread loaf and cakes that I still need to try. The service was quick and the cafe is located in the basement level of ballston shopping center - so it's perfect for grabbing a coffee and a sweet treat before shopping. I would highly recommend this cafe.

The staff is super friendly and the place is quaint but has a handful of tables inside and outside. They justify the high price tag by whipping the ice cream with liquid nitrogen in a mixer. Although cool I didn't think it added much to the experience and was little gimmicky. I tried the cookie dough which was solid and not too sweet. My friend tried one of their seasonal flavors (lavender honey) and it tasted like neither. I think they use the same base for most of their flavors because hers tasted very similar to mine and both were good quality. I think the flavors are hit or miss, but unfortunately you can't sample them! I think this place is a good treat, but overall I'm not sure I'd go back.

PISTACHIO & CHOCOLATE SCOOPS I was skeptical at first esp with this combo but babyyyyy this was EVERYTHING! Both flavors together and separate were delicious and sweet but not overpowering. Perfect match and will definitely get again... maybe even I'll get all flavors lol. Btw I love seeing the NITRO coming out the kitchen aids, such a cool scene. I love the colors in the store, orange spoons and white kitchen aids are so different but I love it plus the aesthetics thru-out the store was cute. The pricing is decent and they have a limited menu of Icecream flavors, milkshakes and even hot cocoa. We will definitely be back especially since they gave us a Punch card so after 10 scoops/visits, you get FREE Icecream.

I was not sure what to expect, but I love a good surprise and my coworkers love a good sweet treat, so it felt like a win win. When I arrived, my mystery bag ended up being all chocolate chip cookies, so that is the only flavor I have tried so far. BUT when I put them in our breakroom around 9 in the morning, they were completely gone by 11:30. So it is safe to say they were a hit. Delicious and definitely not likely to last long if you are sharing with others. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors. The store had a steady stream of customers, but the service was quick and smooth. One heads up: parking is a little tricky, so expect to walk a bit from where you park to the store. Not a big deal, but good to know in advance!
