I normally gives pros and cons for my reviews but I can't with Bakery Makel because there are no cons. My birthday was this week and my wife ordered a personalized cake and empanadas from them. This cake was... phenomenal! It was the most beautiful cake I've seen, the cake was not very sweet which was perfect because the sweet from the guava balanced out the flavors. The icing was THE best butter cream icing I've ever had... it was smooth, sweet and there was the tiniest hint of salt. The detail of the talavera tiles on the outside of the cake were so perfectly detailed. My guests couldn't stop talking about the cake. Thank you Bakery Makel, me encantó!

Sarah gave the very best customer service repeatedly and the the two who delivered my cakes were on time and friendly. 10/10 order again!

Recently, I discovered that dairy is suddenly a very bad thing for me so I was excited to try non-dairy ice cream for the first time! I'm here to say, it's smooth, creamy and delicious! The best part was the service. I popped in at random, Suhani helped me, I went to pay and realized I didn't have my wallet since I was just out for an evening walk! She kindly offered to give it to me for free and I could pay later but I insisted I'd head back to the hotel, get my wallet and come back for my ice cream before close! I had 30 minutes and I walk fast! I ended up visiting to try a new non-dairy flavor three evenings in a row! Service was always excellent and the shop was always fun! Life is good with delicious ice cream!

First time trying the Peach Cobbler Factory for an evening dessert run with my daughter, and we…read morereally enjoyed it. Everything definitely leans on the sweeter side so perfect for a sweet tooth. Loved the regular peach cobbler, it was served warm with a side of ice cream which went perfectly. The cobbler itself had lots of peaches and tasted fresh and comforting. We also ordered the strawberry peach cobbler, but didn't love the strawberry component as much as I expected. Honestly, I preferred the classic peach cobbler on its own. The space was bright and clean, and the service was very friendly. The staff member took the time to walk us through all the options, which was helpful because there are tons of toppings and ways to customize the desserts and cookies. They're also testing out a food menu. I didn't try any of the savory items since I came strictly for dessert, but it's nice to see them expanding and offering more variety. We are looking forward to trying the stuffed cinnamon roll next!

We…read moregot six baked items, two meals, and two drinks, and there was no way we were finishing everything there. A couple boxes definitely came home with us! I ended up getting the popcorn chicken with their spicy sauce, which was pretty good! The baked items were decent, but my favorite was definitely the coconut lemon bread. I also tried the hibiscus refresher which honestly wasn't my favorite. It had a little bit of a weird aftertaste to me but it may have just been that it wasn't sweetened to my liking. They have a HUGE menu with tons of bakery options, so there's definitely a lot to choose from. The inside is really spacious with plenty of seating and since they're located in a plaza with other businesses so there's plenty of parking. Overall, a fun spot to check out if you want a lot of different options and definitely come hungry because there's A LOT of food!

I stumbled across this family business on one of my trips to Florida for vacation. I was…read moreimmediately intrigued when I learned of the creation of the company and the fact that it was named after the owners' 3 children as depicted in their logo. They had some incredible deals going on for local customers which caught my eye. Although I didnt order while I was in town I kept their information and decided to give them a try once I returned back to DC. I opted for the Party Pack so I could sample 3 different flavors. Im a super picky eater and not too big on desserts but I have a soft spot for caramel and cinnamon. I chose the salted caramel, snickerdoodle and vanilla sprinkle cookies. They arrived all in one piece due to the careful packaging. None of the cookies were damaged or broken. The cookies were amazing! They tasted even better than they looked! You can clearly taste the butter base used in the dough which def makes these cookies rich and stand our from the competitors! The shape and size is perfect for sharing or fulling enjoying by yourself. I ate them too quickly to have to worry abour storing them for freshness but I did decide to share a few with my coworkers and it definitely made their day. Next time I plan to warm them and see how they taste! The cookies themselves are a great value for a truly yummy sweetness. Be prepared to pay for shipping but it is 1000% worth it. I have yet to find cookies similar or better than these in the DC area. I'm already looking for their new and creative upcoming recipes to try out! This is a great way to support a black owned family business!

I opted for the twelve (12) mini cupcakes for about $24 and one six (6) gluten free mini cupcakes for about $15. It was a bit pricey but felt it was going to be worth it. Delivery came on time and the delivery driver was kind and very aware of the mini cupcakes, so they weren't ruined. While I understood we were getting a nice variety for the twelve minis, we couldn't pick or choose as we ordered online and it was being delivered. When received we did received a nice assortment but it would have been nice to see what were the flavors, maybe a sticker on bottom so people knew what they were getting. The cupcakes were really tiny, literally bite size. Decorated nicely. The frosting was over powering which made it super sweet. The cupcake itself was a bit dry and no flavor, which I guess was good cuz then it truly would have been over the top sweet. I don't want to knock the cupcakes or the business as I see her cakes are amazing but for the price it wasn't the best cupcakes. They left everyone lacking. As small as the mini cupcakes were they didn't go as quickly, normally desserts are the first to go. Just a bit disappointing, but I am optimistic and next time on an occasion I will try the cakes. And hey if you want try out the mini's - they may agree with your palette and flavor.
