I recently had time to explore a little while in DC, and a charming PINK building caught my eye…read morewhile taking a walk. I had absolutely no plans on buying or eating cake that day, but as a cake lover stuff happens. It was such a cute building the pastries had to be everything! It turned out to be the perfect stop. 1. The looks The building itself is so cute on the outside, and being a fan of the color pink, it instantly caught my attention. Inside, it feels less like a fast, high volume bakery and more like an intimate cake boutique. It gives small town where the owners know you by your first name. You can feel that real love was put into the space and the baking. Tasted like every ingredient was hand mixed, every cake hand frosted, and every cookie carefully hand scooped. They even served my slice of coconut cake on a real plate, which was such a cute, bourgeois touch that I loved. 2. Service The hospitality here is top-notch. On my first visit, yes you heard me! Lol! The gentleman Eric who rang me up was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different cookie and cake flavors. I ended up returning the very next day, and although he wasn't there, the other two staff members working which included Mikaela were absolutely delightful and so kind. The young lady told me her daughter loves the carrot cake as well and Mikaela said they started working there because they loved the patties so much! 3. The Cakes -Coconut Cake: This slice was so delicious, fluffy, and airy that it instantly reminded me of being a kid at holiday family meals with a fresh coconut cake on the table. -Carrot Cake: It was everything you want a carrot cake to be. It was nice and dense yet soft, with a pleasant texture from the added fruits. Definitely noticed pineapple bits! The cream cheese frosting wasn't overly thick and was so good you could eat it completely by itself. -Strawberry Cupcakes: I stole a small bite of my son's. unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. The frosting had a little chemical taste to it but it was a super cute cupcake. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! If you are in the DC area or planning a trip there soon, check this spot out. It truly feels like a mom and pop or pop and pop boutique. Not a bakery but a BOUTIQUE! Check them out! Tell them Anisha from Milwaukee sent you! (Not that they'd remember it just sounds cute!)

Red Velvet Cupcakery has redeemed themselves!!…read more I ordered a couple of southern belles (red velvet) and a couple of vanilla bean cupcakes to go...and they were amazing!!! I haven't patronized this store in years due to inconsistent quality in the past, but at the time of this recent review, Red Velvet Cupcakery is back on top! Truthfully, this is the only place that Ive enjoyed the red velvet flavor, and no one else in the area comes close to the way this shop creates their signature cupcake. Their other flavors are fantastic too..and you can taste the realness in their ingredients. Everything is always packaged neatly and sustainably..and the customer service (in the past) has always been kind and efficient. Highly recommend!

I found Red Velvet Cupcakery through the Too Good to Go app that aims to cut down on food waste. The service offers discounted local area store food that otherwise goes to waste and also helps discover many small business restaurants. I am glad I purchased the cupcakes at a discounted price instead of $4/cupcake or $24+ tax. The cupcakes were underwhelming in presentation. The taste and texture wasn't exactly the best. Some of the cupcakes looked like someone else was about to eat it but changed their mind because the cupcake shell was peeled off. The white frosting was runny and tasted oddly sour. The bottom half of the cupcakes were very dry and stale. I ended up throwing away most of it. I get it that these cupcakes were meant to be thrown out or otherwise given away for free. I just didn't expect the items to taste accordingly. I have no idea how long ago these cupcakes were made despite the claim that it is baked fresh daily. Whatever the case is, I won't be returning and I wouldn't recommend it for my friends and family. There are so many other wonderful small business bakeries in the area with higher quality presentations and taste. Sad to say this wasn't it.

I called and spoke to the owner Katherine, explaining the situation. I told her that my you son and his husband have sophisticated palates and I left everything up to her. Katherine took care of everything and delivered the cake to the restaurant we were dining at. After dinner the beautiful cake appeared at our table and the grooms were really surprised. We have eaten a lot of really good cake but this cake was extraordinary. Pistachio cake with homemade raspberry and the most luscious buttercream. It was the perfect end to a lovely day.

They were also responsive via email for a question I had which I really appreciated. They sometimes have vegan whipped cream available but I asked for extra strawberries instead since I wanted it to feel a little healthier for breakfast.

I have only ever come here for the bagels, but know they have breads, pastries, and are known for their panda cake pops. The people in front of us were ordering them and said they were fresh. I always get the bagels from here, while on the smaller size, they are really good. I argue that DC does not have good bagels, but these are some of the better options that we do have in the city. Get a dozen for the best deal or if you do not mind getting the ones from the previous day, those are the best deal at $7 for an assortment of 6. Pop them in the freezer and they are just as good. Service Quick and easy since I was grabbing bagels to go. The staff was helpful with pointing things out. Ambiance A few places to sit inside, but if it is nice I would recommend just going to the zoo. It is across the street and way better to eat in front of watching the animals than the busy street.

My husband really liked his strawberry one, even though he wished the flavoring was a little stronger. The cake was moist and the frosting wasn't overly sweet. What impressed him was that the strawberry flavor was also in the cake part. My cupcake had a vanilla cake and a salted caramel frosting. The cake part was moist. I found the frosting to be a bit too sweet and the salt flavoring was there but faint. Only after I finished eating the cupcake did I pick up on the salt. Like most places that offer something with salted caramel be it candy or a cake-like product, they went too easy on the salt. A little more salt and the cupcake would have been truly top notch. If I came across their truck again, I would definitely try some of their other cupcakes. Plus I would recommend others give them a try.
