    Mocha Cupcake
    Madison P.

    Super small storefront, no place to sit, kind and fast service, decadent desserts. We tried the sweet and salty cookie, the s'mores cookie, and the Mocha cupcake. Everything looked delicious in the bakery section. The sweet and salty cookie was soft and delicious and balanced. The s'mores cookie had good flavor but was very dry. I was nervous because the cupcake was so hard and the paper was kind of stuck to it, but the flavor was incredible. I want to go back to try the brownies.

    Purchased a box of cookies for $9 and was so disappointed. They look and taste like the cookies you got with lunch in elementary school. A waste of money.

    Love that its women founded and the distinct elevated style of a Sticky Fingers Bakery and packaging. It feels clean and modern with the new-age pink. This is also reflected in the nearly undetectable vegan offerings, the recipe development really paid off! Their showcase is also very unique with a rotating savory menu. Aside from that, its just a great bakery to visit in the neighborhood. This is just about the expected price point for well made vegan desserts, so its best to share with someone. Because its expensive, I see this as a place for special cake moments for the non-frequent occasions. It would be such a delight to have this for a birthday (and they take cake custom orders!). At this small location, get off the metro and use it as an excuse to treat to yourself and enjoy sitting near the window to people watch and be mesmerized by the rotating cake display.

    We stopped by Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats in the morning, and while many of the cookies were already sold out, we were lucky enough to snag a Classic Oatmeal Cookie and a Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookie. Both were absolutely delicious! The oatmeal cookie was perfectly chewy, and the peppermint in the sandwich cookie was subtle and not overpowering--just the right balance. My husband isn't usually a fan of vegan treats, but even he loved his cookie, which says a lot! Parking is limited, but we found a paid street spot right in front of the store. However, if you'd rather skip the hassle of parking, the location is super convenient--it's right in front of a metro station and bus stop, making public transit an easy and stress-free option. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was cozy, and the treats were worth every bite.

    Miss their old location in Columbia Heights since I don't make it up this far as much. An all vegan bakery is hard to come by, but they are well known for their cookies and cakes. Got a sugar cookie and it wasn't too sweet and had a nice soft texture. There is a limited number of chairs facing the window so you can watch people walking outside. They only do desserts and have food in the cold case if you want something to go. One person working so if people want more sweets in front of you there might be a small wait. Super nice staff that makes it easy to go in and out.

    Bakery case too many to choose from!

    My girlfriend and I stopped here on the way to DC. She found this bakery online and we chose it because she has an egg and peanut allergy. It's a tiny take-out joint but with a few cute window seats. We enjoyed a vegan burrito and croissant sandwich and coffee before ordering a ton of cupcakes and cookies to go. Everything was fantastic! The desserts are so beautiful and flavorful with good texture. The best part was most certainly Melanie (I think we overheard that was her name). She was so full of joy and excitement while she served us and gave us information on the bakery and local spots. We genuinely felt welcomed and appreciated for our business and only wish we could come back sooner!

    Vegan Review: I used to frequent Sticky Fingers when I lived in the DMV years ago. I am in town for a conference and stopped by this location which is near my Airbnb. I picked up a few items and everything was just as delicious if not more so now! I miss having this wonderful vegan bakery near by!

    .....sold at whole foods !!

    Delicious. Healthy. Efficient. Decent coffee and quick service. There's not much space to site and eat, but also the city is so beautiful--perfect item for carryout. I will be back.

    This has got to be hands down the best vegan treats I have ever, ever! Cute and quaint cafe, the young woman at the front was helpful in helping choose treats and recommended her favorites as well! The little devil brownie is chefs kiss. Great service and I'll be back for sure!

    So glad this long-time DC bakery moved into a bigger production space! They have a huge selection of cookies, cakes, and cupcakes (unsurprising since the owner has won Cupcake Wars). But personally I love the savory stuff--breakfast sandwiches, lunch wraps, and more that you can get to go or get heated up and eat at the bar looking out the window. Coffee is decent too. All items are vegan and there are gluten-free options as well. Staff is super prompt, friendly, and helpful too! Possibly my only wish would be more space to sit and hang out (outdoor seating would be great).

    My guy, his son and I came here after a day at the National Zoo. We had just finished eating there and were all craving a dessert so I knew there had to be something on my Yelp bookmarks I been wanting to try. Sticky Fingers was about 15 mins away from where we were. There's hardly any parking so we parked in the Giant grocery store garage and had to buy something in there after to just to get it validated. (Parking price started at $3) The bakery is across the street from Giant and we were greeting by a nice young lady who explained all their gluten-free, nut free options. After we picked out our selection of 3 cupcakes, she individually boxed them. We tried the cupcakes when we got home and if I could rate them, they were a 6 out of 10. We also noticed there were a few flies on the cookie side of the shop. Luckily the cupcake side had none because there was a mirrored divider in between. They sell their own cookie & cake mixes. It'll be some time before I go back but it was nice to check off one of my bookmarks.

    Ask the Community - Sticky Fingers Bakery

    Do they serve breakfast items (like the pancakes) all day?

    Most hot breakfast items they only serve til 2pm, but they serve the breakfast burrito all day every day of the week. (And usually have pre-prepared breakfast sandwiches and muffins and cinnamon buns available.)

    Do they sell cronuts here?

    I was in town this weekend with Family and we initially were in the mood for Paul- the French…read morepastry shop that has several locations in the area. Unfortunately, the location in DC has permanently closed and we were still very much in the mood for some pastries... my cousin who is French has previously sang the praises of this Lil French pastry shop, so of course I had to give it a try. I am so happy that I did because I truly believe that I have stumbled upon my new favorite pastry shop in the area! Upon walking in the smell of croissants and almonds and sweet, sweet delicacies filled my nostrils. I basically became the human version of Remy from ratatouille inhaling a delicious bouillabaisse simmering on the stove top for hours....seeing colors and flavors so bright and intoxicating I simply had to have it I walked in and my eyes were instantly attracted to so many delicious options from classics like Palmiers and Napoleons to some unique flavor combos I've never tried before combined like raspberry and pistachio. Of course, I decided to grab a little bit of everything to make an accurate assessment as a YELP Elite should!! My favorite hands-down was the Berry Millefuille. The way the pastry crumbled in my mouth with every bite, combined with the tart, fresh raspberries, and thick flavorful custard.... Was worth every penny. Honorable mentions go to the peach rosemary tart, which was so unique with the added botanical of rosemary with some fresh sweet peach slices on top and a very crunchy tart base. We all enjoyed everything we purchased! I also ordered one of their seasonal specialties, the rosemary latte with skim milk and iced. The flavors were so uniquely crafted to where you could taste everything but everything combined together for the perfect sip. The ladies who greeted us at the cash register were so patient, so kind, and so understanding of my excitement and difficulty deciding and they even helped me add on a little chocolate happy birthday rectangle to the pastry I purchased for my husband! Without a doubt, this is only the first of the many times I will visit the establishment. It was so authentic, so delicious and passed all the vibe checks even from the French side of the family. I was told I have to return when they first open to have a fresh croissant and a fresh baguette that is on par with what you would have in Paris. Even the items in the fridge were made in France and were delicious fruit nectars that were very unique- we purchased a passionfruit nectar that didn't even make it past the doors before we had completely inhaled it and purchased a lychee nectar for later. I am so excited to have learned about this establishment and believe me when I say you must run, not walk, to experience it for yourself. Note- The dine in area inside the establishment is limited to a couple small tables. Definitely not equipped for large parties and a couple outdoor seatings right outside.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon in the DMV area - the low-humidity and happy-sunshine type of day when your hair doesn't frizz, and you would be just as happy sitting indoors or outdoors because the weather was perfectly cooperative. We found ourselves at Un Je Ne Sais Quoi, which was teeming with people - line out of the door, small space, tiny tables, indoor and outdoor seating, first come first served. We snagged seating indoors and soaked in the laid back European vibes. We had our delicious coffees - mercifully served in proper ceramic cups and some sweet treats. Would definitely be back - perhaps in the morning because I hear that the croissants are supposed to be on point!

I would go for that alone, but unfortunately for me, everything else is also amazing. I live in Adams Morgan, so I have another neighborhood bakery that I frequent simply because it's closer. Rose Ave is still fairly close, and I go pretty regularly, but somehow I had never taken my parents there. On their most recent visit, we happened to be nearby and stopped in. My mom was genuinely annoyed with me. Not actually angry, obviously, but after trying everything she basically wanted to know why, if Rose Ave was this close to where I live, I had been taking her to the other bakery all these years. Apparently I had been depriving her of what she now considers the best bakery she's been to in DC. (For the record, I refuse to pit two excellent bakeries against each other. There is room in my life for both.) I've tried the breakfast sandwiches, several of the filled pastries, and plenty of the more elaborate creations, and everything is fantastic. But oddly enough, one of my absolute favorites is their simple vanilla donut. There is something perfect about it. It isn't overwhelmingly sugary, but it's still sweet, soft, delicate, and just feels like the perfect little treat. Conveniently, my doctor's office is also nearby, so I have developed a very mature healthcare system in which I schedule morning appointments and reward myself afterward with Rose Ave. I'm pretty sure doing responsible grown-up things for my health cancels out the sugar. I have not asked my doctor to confirm this.

Our donut was light and fluffy, with a creme infused with real banana. You can tell that they are being thoughtful on their approach to artisanal donuts, and it really shows up in how they elevate this classic dessert. Its rare to find donuts that balance complex flavors, sweetness level, and good crumb but all of those things are what make it distinct fom others, especially chain restaurant donuts. Of course, these are probably made the day of and ours was a large and substantial size. Its definitely a treat-yourself type of moment to commit to the price point, but we weren't disappointed. My take on high‑price‑point food in Union Market is simple: that's exactly where you'll find it. So once you let go of that once you enter, you have a more pleasureable experience by allowing yourself to indulge and try to find the thing that will really fulfill you. And they did that for me. Thank you beautiful ladies who helped me select my donut!

Chocolate ganache doesn't even taste like chocolate more chemical than anything. Service was extremely slow when all they had to do was place doughnuts in a box -- also seemed like customers were an inconvenience. Overall absolutely go buy other doughnuts. Don't waste your money, product to cost ratio is 1 star.

I had absolutely no plans on buying or eating cake that day, but as a cake lover stuff happens. It was such a cute building the pastries had to be everything! It turned out to be the perfect stop. 1. The looks The building itself is so cute on the outside, and being a fan of the color pink, it instantly caught my attention. Inside, it feels less like a fast, high volume bakery and more like an intimate cake boutique. It gives small town where the owners know you by your first name. You can feel that real love was put into the space and the baking. Tasted like every ingredient was hand mixed, every cake hand frosted, and every cookie carefully hand scooped. They even served my slice of coconut cake on a real plate, which was such a cute, bourgeois touch that I loved. 2. Service The hospitality here is top-notch. On my first visit, yes you heard me! Lol! The gentleman Eric who rang me up was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different cookie and cake flavors. I ended up returning the very next day, and although he wasn't there, the other two staff members working which included Mikaela were absolutely delightful and so kind. The young lady told me her daughter loves the carrot cake as well and Mikaela said they started working there because they loved the patties so much! 3. The Cakes -Coconut Cake: This slice was so delicious, fluffy, and airy that it instantly reminded me of being a kid at holiday family meals with a fresh coconut cake on the table. -Carrot Cake: It was everything you want a carrot cake to be. It was nice and dense yet soft, with a pleasant texture from the added fruits. Definitely noticed pineapple bits! The cream cheese frosting wasn't overly thick and was so good you could eat it completely by itself. -Strawberry Cupcakes: I stole a small bite of my son's. unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. The frosting had a little chemical taste to it but it was a super cute cupcake. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! If you are in the DC area or planning a trip there soon, check this spot out. It truly feels like a mom and pop or pop and pop boutique. Not a bakery but a BOUTIQUE! Check them out! Tell them Anisha from Milwaukee sent you! (Not that they'd remember it just sounds cute!)

She appeared to be the only employee there, taking orders, assembling desserts, handling Uber Eats orders, and doing everything else. The slower service wasn't really her fault; she clearly needed some help. I stopped by around 7:00 p.m., and they were already out of several items. I wanted another brownie and a cookie, but both were unavailable. That was definitely disappointing, especially when you've already got your taste buds ready for dessert. The desserts? Absolutely delicious. The operation? It could use a little more staffing and better inventory management during the evening rush. Overall: I'd definitely come back for the desserts...I'd just come earlier.
