Really neat adult store that focuses on the gay community. From lots of rainbow flags to enema items to a focus on underwear for peens and larger dildos, there's a whole lot to see here - including an adorable kitty! If you're not looking to pleasure someone with a peen or bum, you probably want to hit up a different store (just because the PIV selection is a bit limited here), but if there's a D involved, Bite the Fruit has a fantastic selection of things you'd want. They have anal hygiene items, condoms, a gigantic selection of silicone lubes, men's-style erotic undies, toys for bums (big and little!) and peens, and a small selection of vibes. They also have a good selection of impact play items with a smaller selection of cuffs and collars. They even had a selection (mostly CalEx) of toys designed for FTM bodies. Loved seeing the options for gigantic penetration items - though I'm not sure I saw any in silicone (the multi-hundred price tag probably makes that a slow mover though). There's a small selection of DVDs and magazines; they're definitely more focused on products here. Lots of great body-safe options, too, with tons of silicone and metal. Prices are on the higher side, but you're also supporting a local business that supports the local community, so I'm happy to do so. Walkways are a bit tight, but they've jammed as much stuff as they can into this small space. Do be aware you'll need to walk up a flight of stairs to make it into the place. The stairs are a bit steep, so take it carefully. read more

I'm not a resident of DC, but had occasion to stop by with my partner and I'm glad we did. Lots of shiny toys I wanted to buy, great staff, and of course I got to pet 2 gorgeous kitties in the shop. I'll just leave that innuendo there. But seriously, they have store cats and disco balls and great helpful people. Geared more towards men, but I felt welcome and they had things for the feminine as well. 10/10 would visit again. read more

Good service. Good selection of fun merchandise. Fair prices. Always a few sale items. A definite recommend!

Great service, great variety, parking out front. Staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable.

Love everything about the store. Has everything you could possibly need. The staff is soooo nice! Also, they have this cute dog that is SOOOO adorable (yeah, I had to add this in here). read more

(° ° ) I have been a customer of this establishment now for 10 years and they have GREAT service and GREAT products. I have recommended them to all my friends. Their on line service is unmatched. The day you order, you receive your item the very next day. read more

Super friendly & has everything you need. I would definitely recommend this place to spice up the room. Stuff I've never seen before 10/10 read more

Very clean and organized and great prices. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Help me pick the best selections for the best prices

Bite the Fruit has helpful staff and a really wide selection of items. I went in for some new toys and came out with those and even more. The owners were knowledgeable and fun, everyone had on masks and they even gave out a free sanitizer with every purchase! Owner threw in two supplements I'd been wanting to try, too--free of charge. I've already been back, and will continue to use them for my sex toy and bondage gear needs. read more

Do not waste your money by buying from this store. Everything is very expensive and almost twice the price of online sales. Very very unprofessional and rude sellers. Be very careful. They have no return. It's the most ridiculous place you can buy anything from. read more

Very nice unique adult toy store! We came here just to look around and see what "toys" they had that may be interesting. Prior to coming here, I read the reviews and had somewhat of a preconceived notion of the treatment that was going to be in store for us- however I was wrong! The gentleman at the counter was very NICE, he greeted us as soon as we came in the door. As I was looking in a particular section, there was a lady that was putting something away (may have been the owner?), who was equally as nice and welcoming. I was very pleased with the customer service aspect of it. As far as the products, this store was very diverse catering to everyone's needs. Although I am not necessarily going to go into the content of what is in this store, I will say that we were definitely not disappointed with what we seen and chose. There was not one point where me and my guy felt unwelcomed or like we were not wanted in that store. Therefore, I felt no reason to not give this store 5 stars because they had exactly what we wanted and needed ;) read more

The owner was extremely rude !! I tried calling about a specific item and was hung up on.

Great store. It's just like the shops in LA. Just be aware there are some stairs to get to it.

This place had a lot of great selection of items packed into a small store. I found a lot of interesting things here and some hard to find items. Would recommend read more

This place is the opposite of the reviews that I read before visiting. Although I take into consideration the reviews of my fellow yelpers, I was desperate in finding accessories for a particular event. First, this place is a very EASY FIND. I followed the GPS and it was located on a main street. The store is organized neatly and the cashier was very helpful in finding what I needed. He was a cute lil guy with a very heavy accent and he bounced around the store catering to all of my needs and answering my questions. I was able to find all that I needed and more! I left very satisfied and was even given a few little gift samples. I'll be back. *side note* the other guy that was rude was let go and they have since hired a better salesperson. Definately give it another try. read more

It was my first time EVER at a sex shop, they had so many selection to choose from and the place was clean and quiet. Roberto was amazing he answered all my questions and even expanded my mind. They even had a real pussy cat in there.. awesome mascot for the store. If you're looking for a place to find some nice toys for yourself or your significant other I'd definitely say come visit Roberto at the store you won't regret it. I promise you'll find exactly what you're looking for if not that even better then what it was ! Overall I was super content and will be back for more ! read more

Excellent store for sex toys, sexy clothing and erotica of all kinds. If you can't find it here, it probably doesn't exist.

Great spot to get whatever you need! Workers were super helpful and answered any questions we had.

Went with a friend for his birthday shopping. They have lots of items. However, we did not appreciate being watched while trying to shop! I'll spend my money elsewhere. read more

They've got everything you need and knowledgeable staff with a great sense of humor! They also carry an excellent selection of things you never thought you needed! I am a regular customer! read more

The owners of this store need to re-evaluate their policy and how they treat paying customers. I walked in this store fully intentioned to shop and was asked by the woman behind the counter to leave my PURSE. My purse, that contains my wallet and all of my personal effects in it. If it was a shopping bag or anything of that nature I can fully understand but in this day and age no one should feel comfortable leaving their purse ANYWHERE. I was really excited to shop at this store but was disappointed by their lack of customer service. read more

this is a very cool store and I have found all I needed for my sister's bach party great supplies. Literally, all you need for a bach party you're gonna found there !!! read more

If I could give no stars I would. The queen at the register was rude and impatient and I will NEVER spend my money there again. I'm new to DC and heard of this place through Rayceen Pendarvis and thought it would be reputable but in true fashion it wasn't for my kind. Not claiming racism but the gay community favors the lighter, thinner side over everything. The selection was poor and over priced. Amazon proved to be the better deal for what I actually wanted. Shop where you're appreciated, not tolerated. read more

So I definitely have to give this place five stars the staff was fantastic d accoutrements that they sell we're perfect so I highly recommend the store if you were looking for some adult fun read more

See all

I just stopped buy and got a bag full of goodies. It is really hard to buy items online when you have so many questions. They were patient and very helpful. Most stop if you are in the mood for some goodies. Tell Coco I said hi:) read more

If you're black, don't go. If you're looking for helpful service, don't go. I walked in and picked up some items at the back (my friend had been to this location so she told me where to look for what I wanted) and I wanted to ask which products they would recommend out of the three I had picked. I went to pick out a ball gag and I hear one of the associates say to the other one "I think she's stealing" and IMMEDIATELY I'm asked to put my boxes on the counter. I then ask my question, and once I decide not to buy the more expensive item, it's like the sales associate lost all interest in helping me. I was going to get everything but I was so turned off I only got two things and politely left. Never doing any business here again. read more

Love this place!!! The gentleman who worked there are very nice and helpful. The toys are grade A and just a all around happy Environment

Despite the negative reviews, I decided to check this place out because it was nearby and wtf not? I was not disappointed. Flavio, behind the counter, greeted us as soon as we walked in and was polite and helpful. I don't know what happened in the past, but the service and selection are now definitely 5 star! read more

This place is everything you want in a sex shop. The two men working the night I shopped were helpful, funny, offered suggestions and even threw some freebies in my bag! The store is rather small and feels private as you look around. There is a large variety in their selection. Unfortunately, one of my products wouldn't charge once I got home (which is obviously NOT in DC). Customer service got back to me within minutes and offered to credit my card or ship a replacement, no questions asked! I loved my experience here and I will be sure to visit again next time I am in the area. read more

Ok place. They have some great merchandise but the guy working there must have been having a bad day. My partner asked a question that i guess was a bother to the clerk. Too much attitude and we both felt weird after we left. We will never go back again. read more

My girlfriend and I visited the shop to buy a product for the first time. Seeing an LGBT flag on the door, we expected the place to be welcoming. The staff made us feel very unwelcome; when we were looking at products they kept telling us to move out of the way, and did not approach us to ask if we needed help. We did, however, notice that the male clients were very catered to and the staff spent a long time helping them, by contrast. We got to the counter and asked a question about the product we wanted to purchase. It was our first time, so I wasn't sure about something and thought they'd welcome questions. The employee gave me a look as if I were stupid and gave me a quick answer without a smile, like I was bothering him. We still purchased the item, but we felt extremely unwelcome there, as though we were bothersome to the men working there. If you are a woman, do not go here. They may have products for you, but they don't want you there. It is clearly only meant for men. read more

I remember this shop -way- back when it used to be called "The Leather Rack". My husband and I used to travel to DC quite a bit in the 80's and 90's, so we were pleased when we were back in town recently to see that our old favorite Leather Shop was still there ... even if it was under a different name. And it really felt like nothing much had changed (I mean that in a good way). It's still kind of dark, the music is still from the trancy, electronic genre, and there were still a multitude of enormous scary items on display that I have trouble believing anyone actually puts to use. I'm not sure what that previous reviewer's complaint was about. "NO MORE GAY" ... Really? There's plenty of "Gay" there. They just happen to have a selection of items geared towards women that can actually be used by men who are so inclined. It's no big deal. We found a couple of items there to spice up our weekend. The quality of the items seemed good and the prices were reasonable. I'm sure we'll drop by again the next time we find ourselves in DC. read more

This place deserves 0 stars. Rude disrespectful employees both times we interacted with them. I am baffled by how unprofessional and terrible the employees were! If you need a sex shop, go to Lotus Blooms or Comfort Zone and save yourself the frustration of being disrespected like that! read more

Great adult sex shop in DuPont. Decent selection of lube, toys, DVDs, sexy clothes and fetish gear. Friendly helpful staff. Support your local community sex shop! ;) (Formerly known as Adam & Eve and The Leather Rack ) read more

I was helped by Anoka who was sweet and helpful, knowledgeable not overbearing, and I felt super welcomed. Ample selection for both men and women. Really enjoyed my time here will be back! Also got a free goodie in my bag, yay! read more

Jamal was very nice and helpful. The store was clean with an excellent selection. I definitely will return.

Small and cute store, knowledgeable and friendly staff. I lost the receipt for a purchase from half a year ago --needed to cash in on a warranty--and the owner was nothing but pleasant helping me retrieve it. Really just a great place to go. Highly recommended! read more

There are not enough adult shops in DC! But this place is really all you need depending on your tastes. I love the people who work here, they are usually nice and helpful. They have competitive prices, obviously some things are cheaper online but often, spontaneity doesn't allow for planning ahead. Nicely laid out and a good selection for most common fetishes/kinks. Also, discreet bagging. read more

A large variety of items for the male clientele and a little for the females too. Went to three stores before I found what I was looking for! Go figure gays know best read more

So I was in town with my boyfriend and I needed a place to buy a little looky look while he was at work - I found this place thru Yelp (per usual) and I had mixed feelings seeing how the reviews were all over the place .. some said it was great, some were kind of mean and others were inconclusive .. Anyway I went into the store and it was on the second level completely tucked away and was very discreet - which can be a good thing for ppl like me who tend to get kind of shy coming and going into places as such . My experience was amazing the sales people were completely courteous, polite, engaging and honest .. I loved them so much I ended up buying 4 looks .. I will def visit then again on my next trip .. I had so much fun . You guys must visit and play !! Sidebar: why do people write so many harsh reviews it's a sex shop lighten up and get laid bitches . read more
