This review is for the CUPCAKES was able to place a pickup for same day order of 12 and they were amazing, the entire office enjoyed them. I like that they allow you to customize the flavors. I had a red velvet with cream cheese icing and it was so soft and melted in your mouth. They are beautifully decorated, highly recommend! The place is super cute inside. Looking forward to trying their breakfast! read more

Came in a little after opening to get some cupcakes. The flavors we wanted were not ready yet but they were able to put icing on the strawberry cupcakes so that we could at least get two of those. We thought that was nice! But we're still wondering why everything wasn't already ready for opening. I wasn't in love with the cupcakes but the red velvet with cream cheese icing was my favorite read more

Updating my review because I left for a couple of years and came back. It's just as good as it always was!! Love the selection of cookies, macarons, and other baked goods. It's all delicious. Still quite small, but I did see a couple of groups of 2-3 hanging out at the small tables. read more

This place is okay. I've had a cookie, biscuit, and cupcake from here. They're fine. Cupcakes are great for easy-to-please kids. The browned butter chocolate chip cookie was very flat and left much to be desired. The cheddar biscuit was dry AF and lacked flavor. I do recommend buying a shirt if you are a regular. You get a free cookie/cupcake every time you visit and wear the shirt. I think I'd rather have a chocolate chip cookie from like Best Buns honestly. The employees are always nice. It's casual inside. But their baked goods are REGULAR. read more

Cute shop filled with lots of treats! Order at the counter and they offer some seating to enjoy as well. Went there to purchase some vegan cookies for one of my colleagues. They had a great selection and each cookie is wrapped individually. I bought 5 and will report back after they try them. The shop has cookies, cupcakes, cakes, breads, and some other goodies that include vegan and gluten-free options. I couldn't resist a slice of their gingerbread bread with cream cheese icing. I was not disappointed at all and worth every calorie - dense, moist and the right spice level. Glad I don't live close to there because I likely would be stopping in a couple more times during the season. They also had gluten free mint brownies that looked delicious. The person helping me said those are a staple, so something I'll likely try in the future. read more

I got the giant cookie ice cream sandwich. Omg it was amazing. I brought one home to my husband, and he was so happy! The chocolate chip cookie was perfect, and the ice cream was really good quality. I would definitely go back and try more treats. read more

I preordered a 3 layer cake for delivery in downtown dc. They called to complete my order right away, and delivery driver was super nice and on time. The cake was SO good. I'm not a cake person, but I got a bday cake for my friend who is big time. You will not be disappointed. It's a bit pricey but my goodness worth every single penny and bite!!! read more

4.5 stars. Came here for a pick me up on a rainy day, knowing that we weren't doing anything too special for Thanksgiving. Went inside and it was a lot busier than I remember from Covid days -- happy to see the business is thriving! Long line and super busy, but we were leading up to Thanksgiving so that was expected Unfortunately since Covid days, I developed a pretty strong intolerance to gluten. I'm grateful that though there weren't many options, they marked clearly what is gluten free. Few brownies and mostly all macarons were gluten free. We picked up a mint frosted gluten free brownie. It was on the higher side for pricing at around $7 after tax and tip, but it was still pretty good. Definitely more of a once in a while treat than a weekly thing, especially how rich the brownie was. Not too much seating if I remember any, and it's a little packed to comfortably eat anyway. More of a take away place than a sit down bakery. I recommend giving them a try if you're in the area! They also have a Georgetown location if that's more local to you. read more

This is one of my go to spots when I want a sweet treat, but don't feel like making it for myself. The cherry scones are good, and make a nice breakfast with a cup of tea. I purchased a variety of cupcakes to share with my coworkers, I liked the strawberry, Red Velvet, and chocolate with vanilla buttercream. I was not a fan of the snickerdoodle cupcake. read more

Everything I've bought or ordered from here has been delicious. I've brought the cupcakes to several events and my friends rave about them! It's a small bakery so if you want certain cupcake flavors, best to order them ahead of time by phone. read more

While the galore of baked goods are appetizing and alluring, they are dry and stale. The cookies/bars aren't that fresh and can be up to 1 week old. Both times (2019 and 2024), I got a Oreo in a Blanket (Oreo stuffed cooke), the cookie was stale and a disappointment. The Brookie with Brownie Batter was brittle and also didn't taste fresh. The Samoa Bar was my pick and similar to a Carmelita and coconuty Twix bar. The Lavendar Lemonade was refreshing and delicious! I ordered a custom deep dish cookie cake for my birthday a few years ago, and sadly it was pretty dry with crusty buttercream frosting and not worth $25. After taking a few bites, I threw away the cake. The $90 Xtreme Cookie Dough cake looks amazing, but I'm apprehensive to order it based on my past experiences and similar Yelp reviews on dry cakes. I might come back to try the ice cream sandwiches and pies. read more

I love this place but I always ask myself why I waste my money on ordering the chocolate chip cookies. They barely put chocolate chips in the Chocolate Chip cookies. When I eat a cookie I want to bite into a chocolate chip not just sugar/flour/butter/egg. I swear whoever makes them is afraid of adding chocolate chips. ADD MORE CHOCOLATE CHIPS INTO YOUR CCCs!!!!!!!! Everything else is good. read more

Sweet little coffee shop and bakery in Clarendon. This place is a cutie shop with hr nicest staff. I have come in here a couple times for their cookies and have not been disappointed. Great alternative to the pricier coffee shops down the street( looking at you Tatte ) read more

The place was neat and looks cozy. They have only indoor sittings and mostly people stop-by for takeout than dining in. Staff were eager to help and really help to provide recommendations for your likings. We had their ice cream which is the cookie vanilla sandwich and the Macaron Red Velvet ice cream. For sweet tooth go for the cookies for the mid sweet, go for the macaron. The combination was so good! We will surely go back to this place! read more

I always believe that you should save room for dessert. I was excited to see this bakery after visiting a nearby restaurant. As soon as you walk in there is a freezer and a cold case filled with frozen ice cream sandwiches and cold desserts like banana pudding and cake slices. Behind the counter is the display case of cookies, cupcakes, macarons and various other dessert items. I had a hard time deciding what to try first. I went with two cookies and a cupcake. The cookies were very large. The peanut butter was flavorful but had a dry aftertaste. The chocolate chip cookie was made with brown butter which brought out the sweetness in the cookie. There were two options for the red velvet cupcake. I chose the buttercream option. The cake part was light and airy. The cupcake was on the smaller side. The icing was not overly sweet. The bake shop was not crowded when I was there which allowed me a chance to see what other options were available. However I could see if the place was busier, I would have felt pressured to pick things quickly so that I would not be holding up the line. read more

I've been a devoted customer at Bakeshop for a couple of years, and it never fails to impress. During my latest visit, I picked up some cupcakes and macarons for a family event, and they were nothing short of fantastic. This time i went earlier in the morning (around 11AM) and noticed that they only had their standard daily cupcakes ready, which are delicious in their own right, though specialty cupcakes appear later in the day. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and always willing to assist. While there is limited seating available if you'd like to enjoy a breakfast sandwich on site, I would suggest takeaway as a more comfortable option. I love their Key Lime Pie - it's a family favorite. I make it a point to special order it for many family gatherings in the summer. Additionally, their gluten-free brownies are a huge success, even among those who don't typically follow a gluten-free diet. Overall, the Clarendon Bakeshop remains a cherished spot for delectable treats and welcoming service. read more

This shop is very unsuspecting... My friends and I were on our way to another bakery when we walked past Bakeshop- we didn't think much of as it was a small and cozy shop; but I am so glad we tried it. They offered a lot of non-basic flavors for macarons, and a lot of cupcake options. They also offered cookie sandwiches as well. Taro Macaron: 3.8 of 5 - it tasted "sweet with a hint of taro" Pandan Macaron: 5 of 5 - I loved this macaron so much, the taste of the Pandan really came through with each bite I highly recommend checking out this bakeshop; I would definitely come back for their Pandan and to try other macarons! read more

Expensive dessert shop. It's a small shop and the service is great, a slice of cake will run you close to $14.

NEAR PERFECT PIE!! I ordered a Snickerdoodle and Key Lime Pie slice through Uber Eats. They ended up giving me a sugar cookie which was good. The key lime pie was near perfect in my opinion. It had the perfect amount of crust, the filling wasn't too sweet or tart (if it was a touch tarter I'd call it perfect), and it had whipped cream which I prefer over meringue. Overall, if you're a key lime lover, you should definitely try this place. read more

Love this place! It's one of my go to places for cupcakes in the area. The other is Baked and Wired but this one is easier to get to. There are a lot of options from cupcakes to macarons to cake slices to cookies and more. Also they offer vegan versions of most cupcake flavors which is amazing because it's hard to find tasty vegan treats for my friends who subscribe to that kind of dietary restrictions. Also the staff is really friendly. It can be hard to hear when there are a few people in there trying to order. The acoustics are not great so then you have to yell and everyone is yelling but like in a friendly way lol. They're pretty quick and if there's a line it's usually because the customers are having a hard time deciding which of the yummy treats to get...and fighting themselves from buying everything. This place is also next door to a chocolate shop I really like as well. It's not a cheap one so think gourmet...or artisan since that's what they call themselves. You can easily pop from one to the other. Anyways, I highly recommend this place even if the door is super heavy and hard to open...I get a workout each time but you get greeted by friendly people, service, and delicious smells. I've been here many times and plan to keep coming back. I hope they don't move though they could use a bigger place. This location is so convenient for me and they do offer Uber eats delivery but it's not possible to select flavors the way you can in person. Check it out! read more

As a person who is allergic to wheat with a son who is allergic to dairy and a vegan daughter - Bakeshop is a godsend! Tt is such a delight to find a bakery that can satisfy all of us. And it is all delicious!!! read more

Super friendly folks found here! First time at this location on a Sunday afternoon, and I was not disappointed by the service or products. I tried their seasonal French toast latte, cheddar scone, and taro cupcake. The scone was satisfying and savory enough to gratify any cheese lover. Also, the taro cupcake was surprisingly flavorful! The latte was not too sweet, either. Several folks picked up their online orders, and I noticed quite a few folks ordered vegan options, too. It's a very good neighborhood shop without any pretense or angst. read more

Food - 2. Service and ambiance - na as it was a pickup order and I didn't see the place. I am surprised at the positive reviews but I would be willing to try their other menu items. We had the cupcakes only and they were very dry. The equivalent of cupcakes that have been left out on the counter for days without a cover. I could only trying one bite because it did not taste good. We got six different varieties and one of the chocolates was marginally better than the others but not by much. The frosting tasted like nothing - it was not sweet, or buttery, or flavorful. It tasted like what a crisco based frosting would taste like. I have tried many cupcakes and feel confident I know what a god cupcake should taste like. But again - bake shop does get a lot of glowing reviews so I do wonder if I just need to try other items on their menu. read more

Cozy shop, sweet staff, and exceptional desserts. The cookies are wonderful but the macaroons steal the show. Also their Vietnamese coffee is a 10/10 for me. Wish they had some outdoor seating, as inside is always packed! :) read more

I must say this place hit a home run! The counter persons were super friendly and welcoming. I had a hot steaming Americano because decaf is the only way for me. They only drip regular coffee and not decaf. Still a solid experience. The red velvet cupcake was super moist and yummy. The cream cheese frosting is tasting and is super sweet, so I couldn't eat all of the icing. The have a large variety of vegan baked good and that was a major win for one of my friends. We sat at the counter and had a nice conversation after the brunch we had nearby. They also have macaroons, ice cream sandwiches, cookies and assorted baked goodies. Check this place out when you can. read more

Cupcakes: fluff, moist, and delicious! The butter cream red velvet was my favorite but all of them are great that I've tried. Cookies: there's a broad range between the cookies in terms of taste, size, texture. Tried the pb brownie and it sucked: hard, crumbly, tasted bad. The Oreo was delightful, and I love the oatmeal choco chip read more

I got the funfetti cake (my fav flavor) and it was a very dry and bland cake. The cake tasted like it was left out for days. The frosting just tasted like stabilized whip cream. I bake regularly, and this is how my cake would taste if I left it out on the counter for about a week without storing it properly. I am very surprised by the raving reviews - it must be for something other than the cake. The cake slices are stored in the fridge - which is a big no no in the baking community because it dries them out. read more

Cute little bakery with a ton of both classic and unique baked creations. In addition to their baked goods they also have drinks, a variety of vegan options, chipwiches and ice cream sandwiches between giant macaroons, and a few savory options as well The place is small, but there's plenty of seating I came with my GF for breakfast, and we each got latte's and their "New Yorker" breakfast sandwiches. Our drinks were fine, but nothing to write home about, and our sandwiches were extremely salty. We'll come back to give their baked goods another shot though - they looked delicious! read more

I've never been to Bakeshop, but my sister ordered a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing, and it was delicious! While not the moistest cake I have had, the flavor of the red velvet was great, plus the cream cheese icing was some of the best that I have had - it was definitely cream cheesy, which I absolutely loved! The next time I am in town I hope to stop by one of their shops to try more sweet treats to give a proper review, but until then, I will be thinking about that delicious red velvet cake! read more

I got a vegan cake from here for my best friends housewarming and let me tell you! It was a fan fave! The turnover was super quick so thank you for saving the day for my last minute request. They were super friendly and super helpful and helped me every step along the way. It was also ready at pick up time. Thankful and will have my business again! read more

The staff here is so sweet. Their sweets are amazing. I fell in love with their key lime pie. But I recommend eating their pies the same day or within 48 hours because the taste and texture changes once you place it in the fridge over a day. I love their vegan treats! I got to share my experience with someone who is gluten free and she absolutely loved it! They have cookies, brownies, pies, cupcakes, and macaroons. I'm not a huge fan of their macaroons but overall everything is solid for a little sweet tooth fix. The ambiance is hip/ adventurer vibes. read more

I ordered the Reese's peanut butter cup devils food cake and it was literally beyond words amazing. My entire family demolished the cake and couldn't stop raving about it.

Y'all. SO tasty. We came in later in the day and they still had a good selection. The server was sweet and very honest about her opinion/recommendations which we appreciated. We got an M&M cookie, a vegan cookie wrapped Oreo, a birthday cake macaron and an oatmeal cream pie. We don't typically eat vegan desserts but the cookie wrapped Oreo was still excellent. The macaron was the right texture and very accurately birthday cake flavored. It also didn't taste like food coloring (which is often the issue I run into with macarons in the US). The oatmeal cream pie has a great hint of cinnamon, very soft cookies, and the right amount of a light cream center that really pulls together perfectly. Finally, the M&m cookie is so moist and the cookie dough base is just excellent. All of the positive reviews really do live up to the hype. Highly recommend! read more
