So literally, I just got home from Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, and I went there on happenstance after my sewing class because I was so close to Sonic. We do not have one where I live, so I naturally get excited every time I'm near one, and I make it my mission to stop and get a slushie. I traditionally get the lemon slush or the lime slush. But unbeknownst to me, Sonic redid their menu. Since there isn't one close to my house, I had to update the app and sign back in. Then I tried to order my usual drink, but because it had been more than 90 days since my last visit, my previous order was gone. So I started looking through the menu, only to realize the lemon frozen slush and the lime frozen slush were no longer there. I literally spent over 30 minutes sitting in the Sonic stall scrolling through the app because you have to order through it to get the half-price slushes. Now they have these new slushes with some type of tea concentrate, and I already know I don't like green tea. I didn't want to risk paying for something I probably wouldn't enjoy, especially since there wasn't an option to sample it. So I opened my Maps app to see what was nearby. That's when I noticed that a young lady I'd been following on Instagram had her Italian ice shop close by. I thought, "Oh my goodness!" It was less than a mile away, so I drove over to Killa Italian Ice & Smoothie and picked up some lemonade and a slice of cake. After that, I thought, "Let me see what other small businesses I can support while I'm over here." I wasn't really interested in any of the other food options because they were things I could already get in Woodbridge. So I searched for bakeries and found Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, just a short drive away. I walked in, and to my surprise, they had a full restaurant menu in addition to their baked goods. Let me tell you, these people were so amazingly welcoming the moment I walked in. "Hey, sis!" "Hi, welcome!" I immediately felt at home, and I honestly haven't felt that way in an establishment in a very long time. I ended up telling the young lady behind the register about my whole Sonic adventure, and she said, "Well, let me let you try my chicken curry salad." Now, I didn't have the heart to tell her that I don't like chicken salad, so I said, "Okay." Let me tell you...that chicken curry salad was banging. I was like, "Oh wow. This is good." As we kept talking, I looked over the menu and realized I didn't want my usual comfort foods like pizza, collard greens, or macaroni. I wanted to try something different. So I ordered their Chicken with Attitude with rice and cabbage. The chicken had a Middle Eastern rustic flavor. It was roasted, incredibly tender, and unlike anything I'd had before. It's definitely a different taste and probably an acquired one, but I really enjoyed it. Although I'd only had that sample of the chicken curry salad, it was so good that I ordered half a pound of it to take home, along with a piece of pound cake. Like I said at the beginning, I DO NOT EAT chicken salad, but it completely surprised me. But beyond the food, they brought me a complimentary lemonade while I was sitting there eating. It tasted so fresh, like freshly squeezed lemon with other fresh fruit over ice. It was absolutely delicious and refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everywhere throughout the restaurant were little signs about genuine kindness. The whole place just felt welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Being from Alabama, I grew up with Southern hospitality. You make eye contact, greet people, and make them feel at home. That's not meant to discredit businesses in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. This area is a melting pot of people from all over the world, and culturally, not everyone expresses hospitality the same way. But when I walked into Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, every single person embodied that welcoming spirit. It wasn't just one employee. It was the people behind the counter, the people coming out of the kitchen, and even those arriving for work. I just remember thinking, "Wow." [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt safe. I felt welcomed. I felt wanted. I felt at home. I felt like family[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]More than the food, I felt like I had found my tribe. I found my village.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I honestly wish I lived closer because, if I did, I'd probably be there every day. Since moving to this area in 2009, that's the feeling I've been missing. If I could recommend Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes a million times over, it wouldn't just be because of the food. It would be because of the sense of belonging. It's that feeling of walking into a place where everybody knows your name, even when they don't. If you're going through something, this is the place to go. Not just to feed your belly, but to feed your soul. read more

Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes - Lemonade - Bakeries Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

I visited this bakery, when I was coming for breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Sweet Tooth is located in an industrial section of Ritchie Road, in Capitol Heights. I entered with the intention of purchasing baked goods, as snowstorm snacks, but had no idea they also have a full food menu. I ordered the strawberry shortcake, which was excellent!! It was moist and sweet and the strawberries tasted great. I also had a few cookies and some pound cake, which were all good. Service was quick and friendly and I was able to sample their bean soup which was nice and hot and seasoned well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location as a few parking spots, that they share with other businesses, and you are able to sit down inside of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also bake cakes. I saw a few of their designs and they looked great. I plan to return again! read more

Outstanding bakery great food and customer service 5.0 rating Deon Davon Podcast chronicles and Review.

I have been driving past this place for at least 10 years, and decided to pop in for the first time today while in the area. I had no idea that in addition to sweets, they also offer a full menu of food/meals. I also learned that they've been open for almost 30 years. I decided to go with a slice of vanilla cake with chocolate icing, and it was pretty dry, but the flavor was good. The customer service was wonderful, so I will go back to try one of the entrees. Parking was fine , but I can see it being a bit tight on a busy day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside also has a few booths if you'd like to eat there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stopped pass this place after my daughters moving up ceremony because I heard they had good desserts. I sent my wife and daughter inside and they were greeted my a nice gentlemen. He made a series of good suggestions and ultimately we got lots of sweets. Lemon Cake, Oreo Cupcakes, Snickerdoodle Cookies, Strawberry Cupcakes, and pie. The gentleman was so nice he even tossed in a free one. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. The desserts were good. I'd happily come back again if I were in the area. read more

I stopped by Sweet tooth cafe for the first time. It's cute little spot with tons of dessert options--cookies, cakes, cupcakes, you name it! I had the Strawberry cupcake and yellow cake with chocolate frosting--both were moist and delicious! They also have an extensive food menu. I didn't order food, but they let me sample the curry chicken salad and it was amazing. The staff was friendly and patient while I made up my mind.

Hey friends! I was checking out Cafe Curbside across the street and stumbled across this hidden gem. Sweet Tooth offers an interesting combination of Italian, classic American and soul food options. And, my favorite, sweet treats! I ordered a lemon pound cake slice and snickerdoodle cookie. I really enjoyed the snickerdoodle cookie! If you love cookies on the crunchier side, you'll love these! The flavor on the lemon pound cake was amazing. My only distaste was that the cake was a little dry. I love that both the cake and cookie weren't overly sweet. Service was very vibrant and friendly! I overheard one of the managers offering to write happy birthday on cake after a customer stated it was for a birthday party. It's the little, thoughtful gestures that make businesses stand out and make me want to continue to support. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior is small with a few tables for dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Price point is affordable. I paid $5 for the cake slice and cookie. Parking is free but very limited. They weren't fully open for business the day I went, so their menu options were limited. I'm excited to come back another time soon. Enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian read more

Sorry for the late review . But it have to be said. My mom's 75th birthday I introduced my brother to this bakery so that he would buy our mom's cake for her party. The cake was beautiful. It was a Bible cake but when you cut the cake and taste the cake it was nothing but fondant aka icing. My brother gave me $400. To pay them and i gave them a $10. Tip. No one at the party like the cake . But good thing i had a cake from the wegman. It saved the day. My mom is 79 now at this was when she was 75 . Oct 28 is her bday. With this said . It should be taste samples of what you are buying at this bakery before you pay a large sum of money. read more

The cakes are great. The service is amazing. We get most of our cakes from here. The only negative is parking. But it's really not bad.

Ordered from here on Door Dash. Order came fast, but the slices that command such a high price were cut thinner than my chances of ever ordering from here again. Taste was good but didn't get much of it. read more

Sweet Tooth bakery has been in business for over 25 years. It's been a while since I've been here. They now serve food as well as baked goods. I purchased a couple of cupcakes. One cupcake is yellow cake with chocolate icing and the other is a strawberry crunch cupcake. The cupcakes are just okay. They are rather dry. Not sure how fresh they are. read more

I have ordered cakes and cheesecakes from there before, but Friday July 11th was my first time ordering food via door dash. I ordered a steak and cheese with sweet potatoe fries. The steak and cheese was absolutely delicious. The bread was soft. I had dental work the day before and the sandwich didn't hurt my mouth at all. When I placed my order I didn't specify the condiments I wanted, Latoya called me to see exactly what I wanted on my sandwich. She was very professional. I went in on July 12th to get a cake and once there I was given a sample serving is mango juice and it was phenomenal. Wonderful establishment. read more

Everything tasted amazing (both the frosting and cake!) and everyone at the bakery was so kind and excited to go the extra mile to make her vision for the cake come to life.

Until recently, I thought this place only did cakes and pastries. I had no idea they served food until one of my favorite food influencers (shout out to Big Schlim!) put me on game. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich with a side of fries, some snickerdoodles, and a piece of strawberry cake. The sandwich was okay... But something was missing. Maybe it was the kind of bread they used but it just wasn't giving 'chicken parm'. Just 'chicken with some sauce and a little bit of cheese on it'. The fries were good.... The best part of the visit for sure. The snickerdoodles were okay; ditto for the strawberry cake. Parking was absolutely atrocious, and it was crowded AF at 3:30 in the afternoon on a weekday. Not sure of all the hype was about, but it just didn't do it for me. read more

This is my favorite local bakery. They never disappoint. Tip: Stop by and grab a cupcake.

[Review is pre-pandemic] Don't let the name fool you. They serve much more than cakes and pastries. We stumbled upon this place because one of my co-workers could only eat halal. They have pretty good chicken tenders and gyros. Nothing particularly authentic, but it is good grub for the price. The location is kinda sketch. Parking lot is in disarray and felt like I was walking up to a warehouse. But inside is totally different. Very bright and welcoming. There is a good amount of seating too and was able to fit our party of 8. One hidden gem in the Capitol Heights area. read more

Honey let me tell you! I called them Friday morning when they opened, never heard about them, but they are close and the ratings are good. So! I told the gentleman who answered of my "last minute" need and he was like let me call you right back. When I tell you they were not only able to accommodate me, they were super timely! I presented my cousin with their Strawberry Shortcake and her face lit up. We took quick pics and put it in the fridge until she was ready to cut it. Bakery, I thank you for saving me from having to go to Waldorf and now I never have to again for this particular cake. She loved it and hasn't stopped raving about it to this day. We all loved it. Absolutely delicious. Thanks again I will most definitely see you for my continued bakery needs (and not last minute lol). read more

By far, Sweet Tooth is one of the best bakeries around. I've been getting cakes from them for every occasion since the 90s. The quality has never been compromised and the staff if amazing. I highly recommend Sweet Tooth Cakes and Pastries!!!! read more

The cakes and sweets, perfect. The food (or at least my order), not so much. I ordered a wing basket with fries with a side of Mac and Cheese. The wings were okay. The fries were a bit soggy and the Mac & Cheese had an interesting taste. It was a bit peppery and tasted like it had curry or turmeric in it. The strawberry cupcake and strawberry shortcake, however, were DELICIOUS. Baked goods are definitely their strong suit, hence the name. I plan on ordering cakes from here again.

So it's been 8 years since I wrote my 1st review of this spot! Time flies because I still remember that 1st visit!! Anywho, this community owned business has made a lot of changes in 8 years. They've grown their menu of hot and cold entrees. You can get wings, pizza, fish, etc. Their hours are also more consistent and always posted (along with menu) on their fb page! The things that have NOT changed: BOTH food (to include desserts) and customer service are still EXCELLENT! Cmon sweet tooth! I see you out here changing lives! Our brother Mo (check his review out) eating mayo, enjoying banana desserts AND inviting himself to a partnership (btw, I want in on that franchise thang). You have me looking crazy in these vegan streets drooling over my sweetie's whiting sub (smelled and looked divine) but drooling was all I could do because he inhaled it! I was lucky to snatch a seasoned fry off the plate! The other thing they out here acting up with...those drinks!! I've had sorrel plenty in my life. It was always a take it or leave it thing. NOT here! Take it!!! You will thank me. If I leave you any...you will thank me. Im addicted to it! ALL THE YUM!! Today, they gifted me with a cucumber ginger drink. Again...delicious! I may need an IV for the sorrel but this ginger cucumber thingie is issuing a serious challenge for my affections! Been coming back for 8 years... read more

I was craving banana pudding and the place I usually get it from was closed so I looked on Yelp to help me find a place to satisfy my Sweet Tooth. That's exactly what I got. I originally visited this place just for dessert but Mr. Rick and Rama (spell check) had me try some samples from the hot bar. Let's just say that I've been hooked ever since. I don't even eat greens but now I have to have my fix for greens every Saturday. My new love for green may be because I don't eat pork and this establishment is halal. I have tried a few things on the menu but my absolute favorite is the chicken with attitude that I get with a side of rice & greens, extra cornbread & half iced tea half raspberry lemonade. Every employee here is very nice. I always feel so welcomed. It's Friday now and I can't wait until tomorrow so I can get my weekly treat to myself. read more

Where do I start? This is a terrific bakery, delicious cafe but they are so much more! You just feel different when you come here. The other patrons are so polite, the owners are all so cordial. The young folks working & purchasing are so respectful, which is a refreshing change in this area. I used to just come for Cake but last visit I had grilled chicken garden & Greek Salads, each was enough for 2 meals, also tried the chicken cheesesteak......omg that was good! Not greasy & full of meat! If you are riding pass, it will be your worthwhile to stop in! read more

It all started with cupcakes! I stopped in on the way to a party and asked for a dozen cupcakes for the host. They were pretty and figured they were regular cakes. Once at the party everyone kept asking the host where she got the cupcakes because they were so good! Years later, I decided the day of a party I wanted another cake. I went into the bakery early and expected to get something already on display ( pink strawberry cake). However, the staff is so nice that they offered to make me a cake that would be ready in a few hours. It was perfect! And, I was offered a slice of their pound cake. The cake reminds me so much of a loved one who refused to share their wonderful cake recipe. I went ahead and ordered an iced pound cake for my turkey day dinner. What can I say, this is my go to bakery! read more
