    Best cupcakes I ever had. I got the last left flavor at the time called humming bird which is a banana cupcake with maple frosting, and I was like I will have whatever you have and it was insane. Can't wait to go back and try their other flavors. You have a sweet tooth ; just go for it. You will not be disappointed

    Best cupcakes in Va!!

    When do you ever go here and not have an exceptional experience? You walk in and the place is always clean you're always probably welcome and typically they have a high selection of delicious cupcakes. I love the fact that each staff person is more than willing to repeat all of the flavors in stock for each customer and you do not have to worry about being disappointed because the cupcakes are amazing. This is by far the best cupcakes in the DMV.

    What a beautiful cupcakery in a quaint part of Old Town Alexandria. Not only does it fit right in with the vibe of the stores and surroundings, from the minute you walk in - you are warmly welcomed by the aromas of freshly baked cupcakes!!! I personally have never been to a bakery with such a huge variety of unique cupcake flavours!! From Devils Food Cake with peanut butter mousse... to Boston Cream Pie... Lemon Cake Blackberry Buttercream... and Pistachio Cake with Cherry Pistachio Mascarpone frosting OOOOOHHHH MYYY!!! I would definitely recommend!!

    Shout out to Yelp for helping me discover this amazing cupcake shop. I got a dozen for a party I hosted and was not disappointed. There are so many flavors and they all tasted so delicious! The cake part is good but the icing is AMAZING. A dozen cost about 48 and it's worth it. One cupcake is very filling.

    These are some of the best cupcakes in the area with lots of variations to choose from. Staff is friendly and helpful and are always willing to walk you through their selections. However a few things of matter: this place needs some tidying up because it feels like you are walking into some little girls messy doll house, Also the entrance is not all that welcoming and unless you really know what you're going in for, it feels like you are entering a trap house. There is also no online presence making it very hard to plan or order. You have to call or visit to know what are the options of the day and that is very inconvenient. Their space has so much potential and I feel that I could sit and enjoy a cupcake inside if the place didn't feel like I'm about to get lured, kidnapped and taken upstairs or somewhere in the back. I buy those cupcakes hyper vigilant and dash right out!

    Beautiful cupcakes

    The cupcake was delicious, this place is very aesthetic and just a nice place to enjoy a cupcake! The staff here are so kind and they are fun to be around! 10/10!

    FIVE STARS- I highly recommend! I went for the gluten free options (pictured here) and both were GREAT!

    Stopped by after visiting another establishment in the area. Was excited to see the plethora of flavors that they have to offer. I was told they have a rotating selection of flavors. I got the s'mores cupcake to go and it was delicious. It withstood the heart and journey home. I will definitely be back to try other flavors.

    I am very critical about cupcakes and bakeries because I am a baker myself. However, lavender moon really exceeded my expectations with their very moist cakes. I've gotten quite a few of their cupcakes and they have all been stellar. The one thing I would note is that most of their frosting contains cream cheese, so if you're not a cream cheese fan like my husband, then you will not like most of their frostings. The one exception is there s'mores cupcake, which has a meringue frosting which is also quite delicious. Even their gluten-free cupcakes are good.

But none of that matters with cookies so good! Lastly, they keep the cookies warm so that's a HUGE PLUS! This review is more specifically to recognize the customer service of Eli.

The kind where one cookie can easily be shared (or not lol ). They're rich and sweet, so if you're someone who loves a heavy dessert that feels like a treat-treat, you'll be in heaven. Easily a 10/10 for that category. What really stood out to me was the variety of flavors. I tried the strawberry matcha cookie and was honestly surprised by how much I liked it. It had a really nice balance of flavors and didn't feel gimmicky at all. It's always a risk trying something a little different, but this one definitely paid off. Another thing I appreciated was that they had a section of cookies discounted because they were made the night before. I love when places do this...it's a great way to try more flavors without spending a lot, and honestly, the cookies were still really good. Service-wise, the cashier was super helpful and patient, especially when it came to explaining flavors and giving recommendations. That always makes a difference when you're staring at a case full of options and can't decide.

Either way I just found Lily's Chocolate & Coffee while venturing up and down King Street, and well with the help of Yelp because this was a plan to visit later in October. But, I decided my kiddos needed a treat. Located on a corner you walk into hues of pink, florals and the smell of chocolate and coffee. I became immediately distracted by the toppings and melted chocolate. But, when I snapped out of it, I was able to place my order. I opted for the Dubai chocolate inspiration over strawberries. If I remember correctly it was around $20 five or take. The cafe is so cute. It is small and if crowded be prepared to navigate that. There is bathrooms inside but, I do not know if it is for customers or not, as they were locked when we were there. The staff were just starting for the day. But they were helpful, kind and ready to roll. Once we received our order we sat down and dug right in. The strawberries were fresh, large and draped over in chocolate, pistachio cream and katifia. This is not my first time having Dubai chocolate or Dubai inspired chocolate. I thoroughly enjoy it over strawberries. There is just something about chocolate ad strawberries. Overall a wonderful place. I highly recommend visiting

    Dolce & Bean focuses on chocolates, macarons, gelato and a few other dessert items…read more We were greeted warmly by a kind gentleman. After taking a look at the candy, gelato and desserts, we settled on key lime pie. The key lime pie was pretty good, though it was perhaps a little too sweet and the filling rather dry. Because we were first time customers, the shopkeeper offered us each a piece of complimentary candy. The candy had a shell filled with a confection containing Japanese citrus yuzu fruit. The shell was coated with dark chocolate. I'm just going to say this was the tastiest, most delightful candy I've ever sampled. Dolce & Bean also sells attractively designed packages of candies. These would make good gifts. We absolutely will be back for more candy and want to try the gelato. One minor thing is that the shop was chilly and I had to put my hoodie on. But heck, aren't most restaurants and stores around the DMV freezing cold in the summer?

I have a suspicion the owner is the one who took our order and served us. He also gives out free samples of chocolate if you're a first time customer - which of course made me want more! I'd definitely return to support this small (and delicious) small business. Oh & I got a green tea macaron - yum!
