We chose the Peanut Butter Bliss, a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and little chocolate- peanut butter truffles on top. The flavor was perfect and it was really moist! My husband and I are vegan, which made this an excellent choice for us, but our very non-vegan family member also loved it! Now I'm looking at my calendar to figure out when I next need a cake....

A small shop tucked on a side street off Wilson Blvd. My friend and I were walking in the area (we…read morehad first stopped at Eclairons down the street and parked there) and made our way over to Simona. The cafe itself is pretty small with only a few indoor tables but more outdoor seating available. My friend said they make their own focaccia bread and we each decided to get a Fancy Grilled Cheese. The bread was indeed amazing and flavorful. What made the grilled cheese unique was that they added a tomato-based jam/salsa of some kind that really added a nice fresh acidity to balance out the cheese. I believe they used two kinds of cheese, including brie which is my fav. The cheese was creamy and melty. The food came out pretty quickly and the staff was friendly. Definitely a nice stop if you're walking around the area although there was no shortage of food options!

The honey garlic baguette was delicious as well, but the bread was a wee bit tough. Not in a stale way just very chewy? It made my jaw hurt a little The Korean plum lemonade was amazing. Very refreshing and great flavor combo

The service is okay -- not overly friendly or especially helpful, but not bad either. It gets the job done. The pistachio chocolate croissant is really good -- definitely one of my favorites there. I just wish they posted when the pastries are made throughout the day. I asked once about timing and didn't really get a clear answer, and it would be nice to know when things are freshest. Also, their London Fog steamer is delicious and perfectly comforting. Overall, a great little bakery with some standout items -- just a bit more communication and warmth in service would easily make this a five-star experience.

Lots of seating inside and some outside for when the weather gets nice. The pastries look so delicious and appealing. I got the GF Passionfruit Krembo pastry for $7.50, it is made with coconut base and the top was a passion fruit mousse. Quite delicious. I also got the Matcha latte $5.00 hot drink. The bathrooms are clean, which is expected since it's a new place. There's a large selection of GF items and big selection of drinks too. I will definitely come back to try their salads and to have a nice fresh brewed coffee. The young lady who took my order was pretty friendly and explained the ingredients and patiently answered my questions.

I have not tried them yet, but I will update my review when I do. First up is the blueberry lavender brioche wave ($6). It looks like a kouign maman , but it's filled with blueberry lavender jam. The other pastry I took home was a cherry croissant cube ($6) filled with "sweet and tart homemade cherry jam". I wasn't a fan of the pumpkin version so hopefully this one will be better because I do like cherry jam. I was lazy because of the dreary day, but I guess so were other folks because at the end of the day today they still had lots and lots of tempting pastries in their case. Willpower won out today!

I've been here twice and disappointed both times. The weekend hours are a bit odd as the kitchen sharply closes at 4pm and the staff isn't that friendly. I ordered the Avocado Tartine. While the Avocado Tartine looked like a beautiful and vibrant work of art, it was all show and no substance. It's cringing there's an upcharge for a sunny-side egg for avocado toast (reluctantly paid for it! ) as well as the herbed feta (I passed on the feta cheese). The avocado was under ripe and the toast was burnt on the edges. While I appreciate receiving 2 large pieces of toast, it wasn't worth paying over $15 for such a simple dish poorly executed. The Shashuka weekend special was okay, and wish it came with warm whole wheat bread. The Papa's Bowl was overloaded with home fries and not enough eggs, avocado or sauce. The Martha Stewart Pomegranate Punch (non-alcoholic) and the boozy Rockaway Rhubarb Daquiri were both good. The S'mores cookie was the best part of the meal! Will come back just for the pastries and the boozy drinks!

The place I stay is walking distance from this restaurant. It also has the advantage of being near the Metro stop for Friendship Heights, on the Maryland side (the station straddles the District line). So I have met people here, and they can access it easily from either further toward downtown or as they commute from the suburbs. I always order the same thing, biscuits and gravy. I tend to be regular not only as to venues but menu items. They issue one of those little signs with a number for the table. They then bring out the order. Even when it has been crowded, they have been brisk. It has a moderate flow of clientele, so I have not had difficulty getting a table. If you are in the area and want something casual but where you can sit down and even linger a bit, this should fit the bill.
