Andrea E demonstrated a deeply troubling level of prejudice and bias toward my son, who is on the autism spectrum. Her conduct reflected a profound lack of understanding, patience, and professional sensitivity toward individuals with neurodevelopmental differences. Rather than providing clear guidance or reasonable assistance, she acted in a manner that was dismissive, confusing, and ultimately discriminatory. During the incident in question, my son went downstairs with a $15 coupon provided by the Eaton Hotel and politely asked whether he could purchase three bottles of soda. Instead of explaining that the coupon amount was insufficient and advising him to return to his room to obtain the additional four dollars needed, Andrea E took the coupon and gave him only two bottles of soda without any clear explanation. My son returned to the room visibly confused and distressed, unable to articulate what had occurred due to his disability. Believing the coupon had been insufficient, I provided him with additional money to resolve the matter, and he returned downstairs with the two sodas in hand. Upon his return, the situation escalated unnecessarily and unprofessionally. He was charged $18.66, despite the fact that no clear clarification had been provided earlier. When I accompanied my son back downstairs to address the discrepancy, Andrea E proceeded to accuse him of taking five bottles of soda, an allegation made without proper verification or clarification. This accusation was both unfounded and deeply distressing, particularly given my son's condition and his vulnerability in high-pressure social interactions. This entire encounter demonstrated a failure to communicate appropriately, a lack of accommodation for a known disability, and an alarming tendency to make accusatory assumptions rather than seeking understanding. Such behavior caused my son significant emotional distress and reflects conduct that is wholly inconsistent with principles of inclusivity, equity, and basic human decency. read more

Nice little breakfast spot inside the eaton hotel. The two times I've been there during breakfast time, there wasn't alot of people. Seems like a good place to work and eat. Service was fast. As far as food goes, it was pretty good. I loved the chefs breakfast sandwich. It was very well made with the runny egg with bacon, cheese, and ham in nicely toasted sourdough. The bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito was pretty good too but I thought the sandwich was the star and if you were too get one thing from here, it should be that. As far as drinks go, I had the matcha lattes both iced and hot. No complaints there. They also have a selection of juice. I liked the Tangerine juice. The fruit cup was my only small complaint and it was just because of what looks like a little mold growing on a grape but I wouldn't expect them to quality inspect every piece of fruit they put into cups. The chocolate chip cookie was very good. The right softness and not too sweet. Overall, a good little spot. read more

TAKEOUT REVIEW: On Sundays, during the breakfast/brunch rush, to no surprise this place is packed with dine-in customers and takeout customers. Your best option for takeout on weekend mornings is to order well in advance, giving the restaurant plenty of time to fulfill your order. Their takeout operation seems to be a massive undertaking, posing challenges to keep up with while actively managing in-house dining services. Street parking in the vicinity is virtually non-existent during peak hours. Their brunch food is good, however, to the best version and quality it is probably best to experience it while dining in. Their menu items don't necessarily fare well in takeout packaging; for example, their biscuit sandwich and grits. While decent, the experience left me wondering whether the quality would have been better had I dined in. Give them a try. read more

It was a great place, the food was decent but not outstanding. I didn't care much for the small salad that was served with my sandwich. The price was typical for DC. The location was very convenient and the ambience was fair. They were out of many menu options hence I had to settle for something I didn't quite enjoy as much as I had hoped for. But overall a decent experience. read more

Baker’s Daughter - interior - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I was visiting DC for a few days for a conference, and this eatery was conveniently located in my hotel, the Eaton DC, on the first floor. So my first morning there I needed some coffee and something to eat, so I headed downstairs to check out this place and was just going to order a regular latte when I saw someone picking up their coffee drink. It just looked so delicious. I asked what it was, and she told me it was a pistachio latte. So I ordered one, and it was amazing. Definitely better than some of the larger chain coffee shops. I've tried. It was so good that I had to get another one and wished I had gotten a large. I also ordered a sandwich on an English muffin with avocado, egg, and bacon. It was also very delicious. It didn't take me long to get my order either and the line wasn't very long. I noticed they're large square donuts, but I didn't think I would be able to eat all of one and they were $4.50. I sat at the bar table that looked out the window onto the street. I enjoyed people watching and talking to the lady that sat next to me. I visited a couple more times to get one of those delicious coffees. On one of my visits I did order one of the donuts, but it was disappointing. I should have asked if they would warm it up for me. It was hard and cold and did not taste that great. It was the glazed donut. I would definitely recommend it though for anyone who's looking for a coffee and a bite to eat in the morning. read more

Had breakfast here a nice fall Saturday morning and loved it. It was nearly 60 degrees and they had the wall open for indoor/outdoor seating but they eventually closed it (I guess maybe they thought it was too cold but I thought it was perfect!) Anyway, got the pistachio latte and it was yum, as was the scrambled egg, potato, and caramelized onion breakfast burrito. I like the salsa it was served with. This was my first visit to a Baker's Daughter location and I enjoyed it read more

3.5 stars! Came to Baker's Daughter on a Saturday afternoon. The location inside the Eaton is chic and a great work spot or for a quick bite with a friend. A friend and I both got gingerbread lattes and shared a croissant. Overall a good experience. The lattes weren't too sweet and tasty. Service was friendly. The croissant was a bit dry/tasteless, almost stale but perfectly fine. Wish I had gotten something to eat because it smelled delicious and the menu looked great. Would definitely come back for breakfast/lunch and an overall good spot for coffee (though not somewhere I'd go out of my way to go to for coffee). If you're in the area it's worth a visit. read more

Cool decor inside and friendly service. I ordered my food to-go. The grilled cheese with short rib was so delicious. The meat was tender, it was cheesy, & the bread was toasted. The kale salad was also light, fresh & had the right amount of dressing. The butterscotch blondie was the best part of the meal. I don't usually love brownies/blondies that much, but this one was high quality. It wasn't too sweet and the flavor was incredible even without it being warm like I prefer. read more

love Eaton Hotel and I love Bakers Daughter breakfast burritos even more. For $8 this little piece of heaven is affordable and a great portion size. It's the most comparable breakfast burrito to the delicious ones I would have in California. Highly recommend. The staff is very friendly and although it can get busy at times in there, there's still plenty of seating. I can't wait to order my next breakfast burrito from here! read more

I spend a few mornings in here, staying nearby at another hotel that didn't have a great breakfast options. Great breakfast sandwiches, big coffee cups, several options for different types of filling savory or sweet breakfast items, with a nice mood and great retro decor. It's inside the hotel, there's a door directly to it but it took me a few passes to see it marked. Great spot! read more

Decent breakfast and sandwich options, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock! I got an avo toast with an egg on top, and a large cappuccino. I couldn't believe it came out to just under $25, definitely not a great way to start the day for a glorified pret a manger! The food was fine, my friend got one of the pricier breakfast options and wasn't particularly blown away. My avo toast was equally ordinary. I'd say if you have time to seek out other options, it'll be worth it to save money on better food nearby. read more

4 Stars Baker's Daughter in DC gets 4 stars for quality and taste. The food is undeniably delicious, and the restaurant itself has a great ambience. It's a cozy, inviting space where you can easily work or be a digital nomad for a while. However, the pricing feels uneven and confusing. Yelp lists the avocado toast at $12, but ordering through Uber Eats bumped it up to $14.40 (price of the meal only), plus an additional $3 for a sunny-side-up egg, totaling $17.40. For a single slice of whole grain bread, half an avocado, and an egg, the price feels excessive. I've attached screenshots from both Yelp and Uber Eats to highlight the pricing differences. Even though I was a walk-in and checked prices beforehand, the final bill still felt unreasonably high. The food was great, but definitely not worth the price for what you get. read more

So the good news is the coffee is good. I just got a latte. They don't have any sugar-free syrups so don't come here expecting sugar-free vanilla anything. But the coffee was sweet and very good. I get a sense that nobody is really taking care of this place. The outside tables were all dirty. The entry area has a Coco mat that looks like nobody has vacuumed it in a week. The counters had crumbs all over them both where you ordered and in the back The floors were dirty and needed to be swept. Hmmmm could be a diamond in the rough. If there was management that cared it seems to me. read more

Baker’s Daughter - Outside tables. Unfortunate it's a nice corner to sit at and have a coffee. - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This spot is close to my folks house so decided to check it out on a recent visit back home from California. Went there in the AM looking forward to its breakfast sandwiches, coffee and pastries. Its setup was super stylish with nice retro decor. However the service and food was far below average. On top of that it was super pricey. There's a lot better options in the area. I'd recommend to stay away, it was a big dissapointment. read more

Tasteless food. A manager who was unwilling to accept criticism and a lazy staff. Avoid this place! read more

I stopped in because I saw they had a Butterscotch Blondie that I wanted to try. Needless to say that they were sold out. I wanted a refund, however, I couldn't receive that without providing my information starting with my phone number. I didn't need my phone number to pay for the items, so why must I give my number to receive a refund? This place is a "Card Only" establishment and if I were able to pay with cash, I could've received my refund, however since they aren't a business that receives cash, I had to get an additional item in place of receiving my money back. The cashier was nice but I could tell that she was flustered with trying to give me a refund. She desperately tried to suggest other items, however, I'm a very particular person and I want what I paid for, they didn't have it, so I wanted my money back. I honestly don't care what a place looks like when my money is on the line and I can't get it back. All I can tell you is that this is a small, overpriced shop. 1 bag of cookies costs $9.00 dollars. I've never paid $3.00 bucks for a cookie in my life until yesterday. The worst part is the cookies aren't that great!! I make better, tastier cookies at home. I just wanted something sweet really quick without the hassle of baking. I would rather bake from now on. I looked at the prices of other items as well and a Cobb Salad is $15.00 bucks!! These people are out of their minds!!! I won't be going here again. Y'all take your chances if you want to. read more

Staying at Eaton and received breakfast vouchers here. I was asking if I could use it for yogurt and the girl at the counter said yes. Another older and curly hair lady quickly stopped her and said chia seed pudding only in a very cold tone. Even the two are the same price she wouldn't let you use it for yogurt. Not sure why they are strict about this rule. We ended up ordering breakfast burrito. It was very forgettable and greasy. Couldn't finish it. read more

I stopped by Baker's Daughter Cafe and Market because the calm vibes and workspace setup looked perfect. Unfortunately, the service was a letdown. There was a woman having issues ordering at the counter, so I decided to use the kiosk. I ordered a flat white with oat milk and an extra shot, put my name in, and chose a mug. I waited about 10 minutes, but with the counter still tied up, I went back to my seat for another 10. After waiting nearly 20 minutes for my drink, I went to check in at the counter. Instead of looking up my order, the staff member just asked what I ordered, then started prepping an espresso shot without confirming any details. When I mentioned I wanted oat milk, she didn't really acknowledge it, so I didn't even bother clarifying about the extra shot I had already paid for. Honestly, I approached her politely, but the whole interaction felt off -- pretty dismissive and unhelpful. It's a nice spot to work, but the negative attitude and lack of attention to orders made it a pretty disappointing visit. read more

Food and coffee are pretty abysmal. Complete lack of consistency and quality. Cute space though.

I have been a fan of this space at the Eaton and its beautiful decor. So pretty and nice to meet up (views!) I've had my eye on trying Baker's Daughter and my first visit was a to-go order placer online. It was ready when I arrived, so that was a plus. Unfortunately, that's pretty much where it ended. I tried a seasonal beverage- Feelin' Rosy Iced Latte (September's selection) and that drink was not for me. I couldn't even finish it and I love fun, seasonal drinks. It was pretty though. Onto the food. I purchased breakfast tacos but they too were disappointing. The filling was not hot (temperature) and the taste was on the saltier side. Overall, convenient if you're staying at the Eaton but there are many options around if you're a local. read more

This branch of Baker's daughter is insanely cute on the inside and being in the corner of the building has great natural lighting if you're there to work all day. Marie says we're super nice and I got a lavender cold brew. After receiving it and seeing that the bottom of it what is a bright purple I was terrified, I definitely should not have been because it was delicious. The lavender shockingly was not overpowering and the cold brew was nice and smooth without any ounce of bitterness I got the ham and cheese croissant, and although it was nothing and rave about, it was nice and not too salty. Overall a good place to work out or stop by for a quick brew. read more

From the team behind Ivy City's Gravitas, a Michelin star restaurant, comes Baker's Daughter. With locations in Ivy City and Chinatown, this location is their third and the only one located inside a hotel (the Eaton Hotel). Despite being in a hotel, it doesn't feel that way. There's a popular entrance off of K Street NW. Working nearby, I went for lunch with a colleague and friend on a random Tuesday around noon. Here's my experience: 1) Food: Their menu includes breakfast, mid-day snacks and lunch options. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich for $14. It comes with your pick of a salad. I expected more from the sandwich. Despite being advertised as "juicy," the fried chicken was dry and very flat. As I ate it, I wondered if it was a vegan fried chicken patty made from mushroom (which I actually do like!). The pimento cheese was more smoky and distracted from the experience rather than add to its flavor. However, the side salad was SO GOOD! I ordered the kale pasta salad and could easily eat that creamy salad every day. 2) Price: For a downtown lunch, $14 isn't too bad of a price for a large sandwich and a sizeable salad. 3) Service: Staff were friendly and attentive. 4) Space: The cafe itself is designed well with wood themes, booths and tables for sitting. It creates a peaceful atmosphere. read more

I had the privilege of enjoying Baker's Daughter for the three days I stayed in the Eaton and I enjoyed every bit of it. I can't speak for the price (we had vouchers for breakfast) but the coffee and creame/sugar setup was delightful, as were the breakfast tacos and pastries that we ordered. The food was genuinely delicious-- something you wouldn't necessarily expect from a coffee shop. Of course, the reason I'm giving a full five stars is the aesthetic and interior design. The corner location makes for a nice view of the area through their expansive windows, but it's the interior that really lights up the place. The hearty use of plants alongside the beautiful wooden tables (not to mention the cute lights scattered throughout the shop) make for a great vibe. Would definitely visit again. read more

Edit 2: I was told that I would be refunded for my last visit and I was not. Edit: came by for breakfast and this place was a mad house. After I paid I waited half an hour with no food, which was strange because the last time I visited the service was on point. Went up to the register and my order was never put in. It seemed like other customers were having similar issues because multiple patrons were expressing dissatisfaction in the service besides me. Conveniently located at the Eaton hotel, bakers daughter is a cheap & healthy option available to hotel guests and anyone on the street. They offer breakfast, sandwiches, salads, and healthy sides. Service was quick & food was great! read more

Cute cafe tucked away in the southeast corner of a building at 12th and K Streets, NW, which it shares with the Eaton Hotel. While the indoor seating area is limited and confined to high top stools at a shared counter along the windows and several small tables for two, the food is fresh, the decor is modern, and the overall feel is airy. I ordered the Pesto Chicken Breast on Focaccia with Grilled Red Onions, Pesto Aioli, Marinated Tomatoes, Brie & Arugula and a side of Chickpea and Tomato Salad (both pictured). There is no table service here as customers are expected to order at the counter and pick up their food. Despite this, the orders are turned out quickly, and the staff are friendly. I'd be happy to stop by here again. InKind is accepted here. read more

5 stars for the Avocado toast which was bomb, 3 stars for the coffee - asked for a macchiato and specified that it was indeed what macchiato is supposed to be: shot of espresso with a "cloud" of milk; instead I got a big to go cappuccino looking drink... it wasn't my bad but just not what I asked. Service is very good, the lady at the counter was super gentle and I got my food faster than I expected.

This is a good breakfast/lunch place for tourist staying at the Eaton hotel or passerby (convenience) but there are definitely better options for local Washingtonians. I had very high expectations in connection with the owner of Teo other nice restaurants including a Michelin Star (Gravitas), but unfortunately this bakery is not at that high level. Food is not bad, but not good either. I mean, my sandwich was ok, my partner's sandwich was a disappointment, the pasta salad that came with it wasn't fresh. Also there is excessive amount of sauces in the sandwiches, that really kills the taste of other things in it. For example, the sauce in the fried chicken absolutely killed the chicken, even if it was juicy and fried to perfection, you couldn't really tell due to the stupid amount of sauce in there. Ambiance is bad even though they have good decoration. My biggest issue is a huge problem with smoke, there is a huge cloud of smoke inside, I can't believe that they can't manage that and have better extractor in the kitchen, the issue with smoke is that it is unpleasant to sit there and order more or enjoy your coffee (you want to leave and breath outside!), and second your clothes and hair small really bad (smoke, fried food) when you leave, so "no good". Just skip this place and try another one if you have time... if you are at the Eaton, it is ok to grab and go I guess. read more

I had a few mediocre breakfasts at Baker's Daughters while staying at the Eaton. The egg and cheese sandwich was better than the potato and egg burrito, but both tasted like a step up from a fast food breakfast. I had breakfast coupons, and it's super convenient to eat where I was staying, but without the coupons, I would venture out to find a better breakfast. Also, I would agree with another reviewer that it smells like kitchen in there all the time. read more
