Nice to have a local donut place in Takoma. Donuts are middling, better than the chain restaurants,…read morebut not so amazing that a trip out feels special or indulgent. Biggest issue is the staff. Had to wait for the staff member to finish her conversation with her buddy before being assisted and even then she stared at me as though I had interrupted something important. Didn't ask what I wanted or what I was interested in. Eventually offers a bag for the donuts. Seems more excited when others walked in but lingered enough to try to see what tip I was giving. One time, wouldn't be a deal breaker, but I've never felt welcomed there. So a nice place if you need a donut, but not for a special trip. Don't expect friendly service, but if you get it, I'm curious what you did differently than walk in and wait patiently.

Finally made my way to Takoma Park to try Donut Run out. The donuts are definitely fire and remind…read moreme of my favorite donut shop in CA. When I popped in on a Monday morning at around 11:45 am they still had a decent amount of donuts left. They did not have glazed so I opted for their vanilla sprinkle donut. My total came up to a little over $7 for 2 donuts. The interior was spacious but there were no seats (not sure if it was because they may have been closing soon). The workers were pleasant. The only thing I didn't love was the fact that they were blasting rock music but I think that goes with the vibe of their brand. Once I took my first bite I knew this is definitely the space that I will come to splurge for a sweet treat every once in a while. The donut was big and very sweet. My sister loved her donut too. Looking forward to another donut in the future.

Its on the Intersection of University BLVD and Connecticut Avenue in the town of Kensington , Maryland . In a small shopping area of this place. This is called Donut King . Its a one of kind Place that has Survived a very long time and still thriving . This is a one of a kind place yoy cant find anywhere else . This place has a good sized parking area that needs repaving soon. This place is next door to the Old Kensington Pharmacy thst is also one of a kind that survived. As you enter donut king you see the huge custtomer service barista cashier area . As you go inside more this place is more that a donut store , Its part bakery and breakfast and lunch and more type place. Its awesome . As fir wifi there ik not so certain more research to be done very soon . Plus they have a very open concept kitchen where they perform their magic to make your best foods you could ever want and cant find anywhere else in Mintgomery County. They have great menus and a co sealed kitchen where they perform their magic to make your best foods you could ever want and cant find anywhere else . They have things from Banana pancakes, To other types of pancakes , omletts . Theu have a bakery part where they sell birthday cakes and other cakes for. Special events and ocassions, Scones cakes and so much more . They sell smoothies and orber drinks ice coffees and regular coffees. I loved their donut holes to Boston Cremes , To Chocolate filled donuts . . Its been a oung time since I had been back since before the pandemic its been 6 to 7 years now . Thursday will be my first return there. I tried applying there but they tell me business is too slow and no room fir more staff till business booms again. Thats why im writing this review to help boost business again to protect this business i love. Place like this one of a kind place needs protecting by us Americans who love the place as well as communities. I want future jobs there becase I love being bridges between all worlds of every walk of life that ckme there. I love custkmer interaction and Making People feel welcomed, At Home , And Making people Feel like family there once again . I wish management would give me a chance. What happened during the Covid Pandemic it was unlawful, Inexcusable, Unjustifiable, Reprehensible, Unprofessional, Inconsiderate, Irresponsible, And Down right wrong . We have a chance to prove we are the better men. This is outr time to prove it . I used to come as a kid to middle aged adult . I would love to return there oneday. This place is the best place to kick back , eat , com together as a community . If you love this place as I do , This place is for you.

Store front is unassuming and so is the store, but don't let that stop you! Helpful staff. We tried…read morea little bit of everything that had ube. All delicious! Ube donuts were dense and ube filling was not too sweet, but just right. We love the ube rolls as they were fresh and soft. Ube cheesecake is great, but they often run out. They will double check in the back for you without hesitation. We even bought the halaya spread on its own and it was finger-licking' good! I wish it was closer to my part of town, but we always drop by when we are in moco. We plan to make a trip to the Frederick location as well.

I've been coming to Gwenie's for 7+ years, and it's still my go-to Filipino bakery in Rockville,…read moreMD. I stopped in around 10AM onna Sunday for their fresh pan de sal (baked until 11AM) and grabbed a few warm bags to share. The real reason I came was for their ube cheesecake for my goddaughter's birthday -- and wow. Rich, heavy (in the best way), and easily one of the best ube desserts in the DMV. It disappeared fast. After this visit, I literally sent three other friends here -- and they all walked out with a full load of baked goods and loved everything. You can also order Gwenie's on Uber Eats and DoorDash, and they often run buy-one-get-one specials on the apps, which is such a great deal. If you're not local, you can even order some of their treats on Amazon and ship them to someone you love. They also have a convenient Pentagon City spot -- Gwenie's Pastries - Pentagon City -- which I love since I live in Washington, DC, plus a Frederick location at Gwenie's Pastries - Frederick. If you're looking for authentic Filipino desserts, pan de sal, halo halo and ube treats in Maryland, Gwenie's is a must. I'll always support this local Filipino-owned bakery.

When I walked through the door, the enticing aroma of apple cake just made all of my cares go away…read more It smelled so good. Jamie, greeted me warmly and got my order ready right away. I have to tell you that my granddaughter absolutely adores Jamie's challah rolls. She has a severe gluten allergy and celiacs disease. So, to find a bakery that makes delicious baked goods that she can eat, is a true miracle. I even order extra to take home with her after our holiday dinner. Red Bandana's cupcakes have become a birthday staple in our home. The service, the selection, and the quality are all fabulous. I even met my neighbor picking up baked goods at the same time. The very best part is that my granddaughter can feel just like everyone else, enjoying her delicious baked goods, with no fear of a food allergy reaction. Thank you Jamie and Red Bandana Bakery.

Ordered a cake from here for my aunt who is gluten intolerant and does not consume dairy. Ordering…read morethe cake was very easy; I had questions and they answered through the number which you can text. The cake ordering form is also very clear and easy to do substitutions and customizations. They were very friendly through the whole process and pickup was very smooth. As for the cake itself, I am personally not that well versed in gluten free/ dairy free desserts but my aunt enjoyed the cake! The cake to me was both moist but also dense at the same time; I personally like a more fluffy/ airy cake but that's my preference. The strawberry frosting was on the sweeter side; dense and sweet but honestly very nice strawberry flavor. The cake itself was beautiful! The filling was apricot reserves/jam. It was yummy, but I did feel like maybe it wasn't enough filling/ there needed to be something else in there as well that's light and airy to offset the more dense cake. Overall though, I would definitely come here again for a gluten-free/dairy free cake. The people here and the service here is excellent and the cakes are beautiful.
