I recently picked up a small Lemon cake and a Strawberry cake from Morning My Day in Silver Spring…read more I was expecting a decent dessert; I wasn't expecting to be reminded that most other bakeries have been lying to us for years. The first bite was a bit of a shock to the system. It's one of those rare "Ratatouille moments" where a flavor profile manages to bridge the gap between Maryland and the legendary sponge cakes of Phoenix Bakery in LA. It's a bit of a trick, really--making something taste like a childhood memory without being cloying about it. The Breakdown: * The Sponge: It's exceptionally light. Biting into it is less like eating a dense dessert and more like biting into a sweetened, high-end pillow. It's airy, delicate, and possesses the kind of structural integrity that only a professional (or a wizard) could manage. * The Icing: A triumph of restraint. Instead of the usual sugary plaster one finds elsewhere, this is a light, white cream. It's sweet enough to let you know it's there, but it doesn't try to dominate the conversation. It's icing with a bit of dignity. * The Verdict: This is how cake ought to be. It's exquisite, technically brilliant, and far too easy to eat in a single sitting. If you appreciate a dessert that relies on craft rather than a massive dose of corn syrup, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's a legit bit of baking excellence right here in Silver Spring

I came on a Saturday around 3:00. Easy metered parking (not free on Saturdays) directly across the…read morestreet. There were still ample baked goods at this time. There are only two tables inside. Both were taken, but fortunately for me the two guys at the one table were leaving as I was placing my order. The two young ladies at the other table were very loud and animated when they were speaking to each other, so that was a bit annoying. Then six or seven people came in to order and he got pretty crowded in that small space. I loved my purple yam pasty. It was soft and fresh. I just wonder why my taro milk tea wasn't purple like the other one posted here. It was just OK; the tapioca bubbles were all clunked together. I had to get a straw to separate them. I will definitely return for takeout or maybe stay if nobody else is there and it's quiet

Came here because all the reviews were great... but food was expensive for what it was and service…read morewas not good. I got an egg and cheese sandwich, meat was a $4 up charge. When it came out 45 minutes later, it was an unseasoned egg with unmelted cheese on a stale bread roll. I also ordered an iced dirty chai that was almost entirely milk and with a slight taste of burnt coffee and no chai flavor at all. The cinnamon danish was fine but still pretty stale. Overall, it took way longer than it should for the most mediocre and expensive food I've ever had.

Sarah's is pleasant lit. It smells nice. The ice cream is pretty good, with cream as the frequent…read moredominant note. The kids scooping the ice cream are friendly and work hard. The flavors are often muted or mushy in execution, but they have a lot of them. However, I would always go and feel good about supporting a small business in my community, with the thought that the business would also care about its customers. My friends, Sarah's definitely does not care about you. Our sad tale starts when we ordered an ice cream cake for a family birthday. You can see an image of beautiful cake on their website and the very plain cake we received. $72 for an ice cream cake is an extravagant price, but the decorations as advertised make it quite a show stopper. $72 for what they delivered, bare of adornment and less decorated than a Giant freezer cake is an insult. You probably care about how your cake looks when you present it at a party. Sarah's definitely does not care about how your cake looks. We also placed it days in advance as they advised they are busy and they prepare them to order. This is good, particularly as anyone with a freezer knows, stuff dries out in there. We got a text it was ready three days before the event. When we asked the manager about that, we got a shrug and a "we get busy." You want to make an ice cream cake close to the time it is served if you care about texture and don't want it to dry out. Sarah's definitely does not care about the texture. At this point, you may be one of those people who says..."wait, this is mean. You should give the business a chance to respond." I agree! That is why we brought it up with the person who gave us the cake, pointing out it looks NOTHING like what they advertise on the web site. He responded dismissively basically "yeah, we hear that a lot." Sarah's definitely doesn't care about consumer feedback. We were given a business card to contact someone in corporate, did so and never heard back. If they respond to this review, keep in mind that is for PR purposes because they don't respond to direct outreach. You would hope a small business would care about its customers, or at the very least, its reputation in the community. Sarah's definitely doesn't care about how its customers feel about their products. In sum, go if you like the very mid ice cream, go if you want to get bait-and-switched on an outrageously priced cake or go if you are in the neighborhood. Or don't go. Sarah's definitely doesn't care.

Cute shop! We love ice cream and just finished our Whole Foods batch of ice cream when we saw this driving down Old Georgetown Rd. Of course, had to stop in to try something new when it's ice cream related. We got there at 9:52 (closing at 10!!) and it looked like mostly high school or college were operating the shop. There was plenty of plaza parking. Lots of flavors and can ask to try them. Service was okay. Nothing extraordinary. I always get nervous if I ask to try too many flavors and some shops are really good about being nice - this one was okay - the samples were enough to really taste test it before committing. I always love a good vanilla but in the spirit of trying something new, I opted to try mango sticky rice (ok), matcha raspberry, blueberry swirl, and honey lavender. We ended up getting the last three in 2 half and half's. So...A half and half (I think one scoop of each flavor??) was $8! (Whole Foods pints with Jeni's and Van Leeuwen last week were $4 with the sale ) and a pint was $12 here. I think it must be the Bethesda premium. Mine was noticeably smaller portion though - I was really bummed and my husband ate out of mine more bc he liked the blueberry and lavender more (after he says he's not sharing so we need to get two - but he did since he felt bad I got the short end of the stick). We ate it leisurely outside on the bench and they closed up shop.

The Tres Leche was alright, it kinda tasted plain to me. On average the cakes can go up $30+ The only bad part about this place is that it can be a hit or miss so it can be slightly nerve wrecking if you're getting the cake from the display. I've gotten 2 spoiled cakes from here over the years and one cake spoiled after less than two days. The one time I ordered a specialty cake for a child, the cake wasn't good at all and I stopped coming here often after that. Overall it's a place I'll go to if I really really need a cake.
