I got a McLovin (Sasuage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit), a New Orleans style coffee, a slice of PB Nutella Pie, and two cookies: one Oreo in a blanket and the other a PB Cup in a Blanket (which are basically chocolate chip cookies with an Oreo and PB Cup inside of them). I've had the pie and coffee before and loved. But the other items are new. I'll start with the McLovin: it's incredible! All the flavors work together nicely. The buttermilk biscuit is nice and fluffy and the sausage is well seasoned and egg was cooked to perfection with some melty cheese! The PB Cup in and blanket was yummy too! A stagger advised I heat it ijnthe microwave for 10 seconds and it was so gooey! The Oreo in a Blanket was also great! I really enjoy Bakeshop and I'm so glad I live really close to one! I've been to the Vienna and Arlington locations and the staff for both are really nice! Quick service too!

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!

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?!

We were craving something sweet and dessert-like and many options were available here. The cherry pistachio cake and pecan rose bun were appealing and beautifully presented so we went for them. But how they actually turned out was a different matter. They tasted just fine but were incredibly dry. We were disappointed. I was curious about one thing, and that is if you're allowed to carry open containers of alcohol beverages in public places in Clarendon. I saw a sign just outside Tatte that said you had to walk in the crosswalk if you had alcohol.

Located right next to Big Buns, this European Bakery shop has a relaxing coffee shop atmosphere.

Though one time they messed up my order and gave me the Roggenart Signature (which is a bacon, egg and cheese with avocado... I'm allergic to avocado). But they corrected the error. Their lattes are also great! I prefer iced ones.

The quality was great, and I only had to wait 10 minutes for my food. I highly recommend this spot, great for the price and quality of food! I will be back to try more, maybe sweets next time!

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!

That said, you could still go there to get some work done or catch up with friends. It has a nice, easygoing vibe that works well for both.
