After dinner one night, we walked around downtown Bethesda and happened upon Henry's Sweet Retreat…read more Luckily, we saved room for dessert, and Henry's hit the spot. We got a blueberry pop tart, and some raspberry scones, along with a chocolate covered vanilla cupcake. Yummy! The only problem is that Henry's is not just a dessert bakery - the store may appear tiny on the outside, but it's huge on the inside. In addition to the bakery, they got all kinds of candy and other goodies for sale. I gotta stop back in another day and try all the other good stuff inside. Plus, you can tell from the Rick Astley-inspired sign outside, Henry's has a great sense of humor. This is exactly what small business brings to the neighborhood. Stop by and visit Henry's Sweet Retreat - you'll be glad you did!

Had dinner at a diner down the street. Looked up dessert near me and this place came up. NOT…read moredisappointed! We had brownies, sundaes, milkshake, cupcake and coffee. All of it was DELICIOUS! The small sundaes were huge! Kids could not finish them and at $7ish each hard to beat for the quality! I had an eggnog cupcake. I was not sure it would be good but whatever magic y'all put in it worked great together! The frosting was light and fluffy not too sweet not too bland. And the cake was moist, not crumbly, not heavy just perfect! Had a latte with soymilk because my belly does not care for milk in coffee. Local coffee company supplies the beans. They also have pretty much any kind of candy, pies, and sweets you might need and apparently they cater! Stop in you will not regret it...unless you do not like sweets and then I am sorry.

The drinks came out first and the bakery items we ordered from the display case were heated up and brought out shortly after. We came for the mango sticky rice toast which was brought out shortly after we finished the savory baked goods. It was delicious! Mangos aren't in season yet so they were a bit tart but I thought it was a nice contrast to all the sweetness. It's a small cozy cafe. We'll definitely be back to try their other menu items!

Did you know that the original macaron was invented in the first Ladurée patisserie shop in Paris…read morein 1862? It was actually the great grand cousin of the owner that invented it. While I was tempted by these silver dollar-sized beauties of varying alluring colors, I couldn't keep my eyes of their Passion Fruit tart. I thought the tag must've been wrong since it was covered in raspberries, but when I looked closely at the description, it mentioned that it had a passionfruit crème filling. I gave in to temptation, but there was no evil. Maybe 1000 calories, but who's counting. It was worth every one thousand pennies! I deserved it. I'm a great dog mamma. I also purchased the salted chocolate chip cookie for my tea another day and a croissant for breakfast tomorrow. I will not shy away from Ladurée any longer. Au revoir until another day.

The beautiful storefront stopped me in my tracks. I looked in the window and saw a variety of…read moreenticing baked goods. So, of course I had to go in. They had macarons, croissants, cookies, and a mini baked creations. It was really hard to decide on what to order? I ended up with a chocolate croissant and a strawberry Madeline. The inside of the bakery is as beautifully designed as the window display. It would be a really nice place to meet a friend for a beverage and a sweet. Service was great. A special shout out to the young woman behind the counter. I am so sorry, I do not know her name. By accident, I left my credit card there and didn't realize it. When, I figured out where I Iost my card, I called and she held onto it for me, until I could get back to there. She was so sweet and so honest. Thank you! Now, to the baked goods. The croissant was buttery and light and flaky. But, it did not have enough chocolate. There was a small amount in the center, but it really needed more. The strawberry Madeline was worthy of a gold medal. It was sweet, but not too sweet. The cookie/cake melted in your mouth. The strawberry was amazing and delicious. I just savored every bite. I would go back, just for that pastry. It is a little pricey,but you are in Bethesda. My two pastries were a little over $10 dollars. I did enjoy them. So, beautiful bakery, helpful and honest employees, delicious baked goods....I will definitely be back.

I got to try flavors that they don't sell in grocery stores and it tasted so fresh. I tried the black and white cookie and Vietnamese cinnamon flavors. I went with the Vietnamese cinnamon in an affogato. Not only was the gelato fresh and delicious, but the espresso was smooth and paired so well with the gelato. I don't think I've ever had a better affogato. I highly recommend stopping in for a treat if you happen by one of the store fronts!

The fig mint lemonade was SO good! Very refreshing and perfect flavor…read more The short rib grilled cheese was also pretty good! I didn't like the beets though. They give a pretty good amount of meat and the bread is nice and thick and buttered well. Id get both again but I'd get the sandwich without the beet I didn't like the raspberry meringue. It was too crunchy. There's a lot of seating and a decent amount of food options. Service is quick enough!
