Zero STARS... This…read moreplace is a complete scam. I ordered a birthday cake and even paid extra for faster shipping, and it still showed up three days late. By the time it arrived, the celebration was already over, so that was a waste. The cake itself was honestly embarrassing. It came damaged and smeared. On top of that, the packaging didn't look sanitary. It was wrapped in cheap cellophane like it came out of someone's basement kitchen, not a professional bakery. I reached out about a refund and got nothing. No response, no follow-up, nothing. Apparently once they have your money, customer service disappears. At this point, I guess I'll just go ahead and dispute it with my bank since that seems like the only way I'll ever see my money again. Funny how that works. :) If you're thinking about ordering from here, JUST DON'T. It's not worth the money, the time, or the disappointment.

Iverson Cookies/The Great Cookie has been a DC area staple for decades. It's been a while since…read moreI've been here, but it felt like a review is long overdue. So I took it upon myself to stop by & get some cookies for myself and my parents before I departed for IL a few weeks ago. The ever so popular cookie flavor there is the prized Snickerdoodle cookies. So, of course, I took it upon myself to order a few. I ordered about 8 cookies for $5 or $10 (apparently, they do not allow ordering by the half dozen nor dozen, but by the eights. Such as 8, 16, etc ). I was a bit judgy & hesitant because the cookies were almost razor thin, and I was used to thicker, regular sized cookies. But as soon as I took a bite, I was shook haha they were so moist, soft, and delightful. Crunchy exterior but the right amount of crunch that it doesn't take away from the softness/moisture. The right amount of sugar and cinnamon. I think what makes this different from other Snickerdoodle cookies is perhaps the thinness and (I THINK, I could be wrong) the possible shortening base. They were so good, I decided not to be selfish and go back in to order my parents some to try I will say since it's been a while since I've been to Iverson Cookies, I got a bit lost because I could not find an entrance point (I'll be honest: I forgot haha ). The entrance point is between Mama Lucia and Chipotle. If you have bad eye vision like me, you'll have to walk up closer to notice. On Yelp and the physical establishment, it's listed as "The Great Cookie." On Google Maps, it's listed as Iverson Cookies. There's plenty of parking. The best way to get there is to drive or Uber. I am unsure if one can Metro there.

You grab a big metal bowl and tongs then lose your absolute mind picking out everything! Tons of pastries and all of them were fresh. I loved every one but none had labels so I don't know what they are called. I also got a breakfast plate to go. Eggs needed a little salt but filled with veggies. The plantains were delicious. And the tamale was cooked perfectly. So much food and two drinks for $25. Don't pass on by, you need to stop here!

The restaurant space is very open and light. On most days there's plenty of seating to choose from. As you peruse a menu that doesn't solely include sweet items which was a surprise to me the first time that I visited, the staff are patient if you have questions. My favorite item on the menu is the soul food platter which is available at an amazing price point. Everything is delicious, and I'm very particular about how my collard greens are prepared. I've also had some of their desserts, including the cheesecake which was amazing and a sample smoothie that was provided by the owner while I waited for my meal. I highly recommend a visit to Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes. These folks understand great customer service, appreciate their customers, and take out time to get to know you. Parking can be a little tricky, so I'd prepare ahead of time prior to visiting.

The line was incredibly slow, latte was served hot, & food was mediocre. The interior is stunning, bright, & I felt transported to another country.

While the shop looks amazing, the coffee was extremely basic. I ordered an iced latte and I could not taste the espresso. The cinnamon Kouign-amann was extremely dry, as was the chocolate chip cookie. When you tried to break the cookie in half it essentially exploded into crumbs. They do have a lot of seating, but there were many single people taking up 4-person tables so it was difficult to find a place for 4 of us to sit. The staff wasn't unpleasant, but they also were not very friendly. They did keep the line moving as fast as they could. Again, the shop is beautiful and bright. The branding on their bags is adorable. Their cutlery is wrapped and there is washi tape with their name on it holding it together. Their drinks and food are served on very nice dishes. I just wish that the coffee and pastries tasted as good as everything looks.

I'm a chocolate lover so I chose the Reeses and and Red Velvet flavors. Both were rich, creamy and tasty. The red velvet didn't really taste like red velvet to me but it was delicious. It just didn't give that signature flavor. Since they are located at the same counter as the sushi restaurant, it doesn't really feel like a gelato or ice cream shop but that isn't a dealbreaker. I would visit again.

It was confusing to figure out if this was a chain or a local place and where/how the gelato was made. A lot of flavors were out as well. Service was fine, but it took a long time for them to scoop the gelato since they were busy preparing orders for the food side. It's a cute spot if you're in that park and want something to snack on, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there with all of the other great ice cream spots in the area. Would be nice if they had a local space selling ice cream/gelato there with a dedicated storefront for that item.
