Wow! Not only are desserts beautiful, it was so tasty that I licked my lips and fingers wanting this mango dessert to never end. I'm on U street once a week for acupuncture and I walk past this cute store and thought I'd try it if i arrived early. Today was that day! I was a bit intimidated since I wasn't sure what it would taste like and what to order but Hamina the store associate was kind to recommend her favorites were mango and strawberry so I tried a mango. Each of these desserts are almost $15 so not something I'll buy each week but definitely a once a month treat for me. They make it all in house and also have other options like sweet and savory crepes and other french pastries. When biting the mango dessert, not only is there a white chocolate cover, the moose, jam, and thin cake layer helped erupt flavor every bite. Definitely a place I'll come back and get a nice dessert for my partner and friends. After I finished I went back to in the store to say thank you! read more

Although I love the bakery items, like the raspberry lemon custard was my favorite. My sister and I shared the Dubai chocolate and it was perfect with awesome crunch. We came in about 45 minutes before closing, and the lady at the counter stated that they did not serve crêpes anymore.. I can understand maybe 20 minutes of closing, but she wasn't willing to make anymore. She was also rudely speaking to her coworkers about how this place wouldn't be sh*t if she was to walk out right now.. maybe something that should've been discussed behind doors and not at the front counter with customers. Leaning all over the counters as she is serving us, I think she could have been a little more presenting than looking like she was ready to clock out. They already had chairs pushed together and tables put up with 40 minutes left to close.. didn't feel too welcomed, but I hated to walk out after we looked interested already. Still a nice location between late night restaurants and bars. read more

A great, cozy patisserie shop for a quick meal or dessert before a show at the Lincoln Theatre! We opted for a ham and Gruyère cheese crepe and a ham and cheese sandwich for our mains. The crepe was tasty but the cheese was not fully melted. We were pleasantly surprised by the ham and cheese sandwich, we opted for it to be served cold but the bread was soft, meats were fresh tasting and it was much larger in size than we expected. With 3D sculpted fruit going viral, we decided this was the perfect patisserie shop to give them a try! The sculpted pear and mango were both great, albeit a bit hard to eat, and were filled with real fruit instead of an overly sweet preserve. Very friendly staff who took the time to greet each customer as they entered! read more

Emmy is hands-down one of my favorite coffee spots. Whether you need a drink, a quick bite, or a productive environment to study or work, it checks every box. They have plenty of seating and stay open late, which is super convenient. I most recently got the pistachio croissant, which was absolutely delicious. They have tons of other pastries and menu options. Highly recommend! read more

Great bakery, coffee shop, and dessert shop. I most recently had a plain Caffe Macchiato and Pain Swiss. The Pain Swiss was a croissant-like pastry with vanilla cream and chocolate chip. Both were perfect! The decor and ambience were great as well. read more

I enjoyed my pomegranate dessert and liked how they had some unique fruits like pear too that other cafes don't have. The worker was also nice and explained which dessert she enjoyed the best. The shell was thin and crisp which worked well with the jammy filling and cake. It was around $14-15 after tax which is pretty pricey, so I would say this is good to try once. I am curious to come back and try the other flavors eventually! read more

Absolutely loved the strawberry fruit tart, the flavor was super succulent. The cream and jelly filling wasn't too sweet but tasted like a strawberry cream almost with a cake layer at the bottom. I loved it! Will be back to try the other desserts read more

This is a very nice French bakery located just outside of downtown DC. There is limited metered street parking available within a reasonable walking distance. The bakery has a small dining area with a few chairs and smooth, pleasant music playing in the background. They have some Instagrammable fruit pastries, fruit-filled croissants, tarts, crepes, cakes, macaroons, subs, and coffees. I got one of the filled fruit pastries that was made famous by Instagram. The staff there was very nice and friendly. I ended up getting one of the burger pastries (pistachio- and raspberry-filled), a lemon tart, and a mango pastry. They were so good. I will admit, they are a bit messy too. You need to keep them in the refrigerator if you are not going to eat them right away. I will also admit that the pastries are a bit on the pricey side. All-in-all, I really liked this place. It was really hard to choose just 3 items. They all looked so good. They taste as good as they look. And that is saying a lot. The presentation is first class. The box they come in looks like it is from an expensive jewelry place. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Yum, here at Emmy French Corner you will find some really good baked goods and other desserts, including crepes. You can also get a couple different sub sandwiches. Coffee is available. When we arrived at around 11am on a Sunday, we were the only customers. But within a few minutes, the shop was filled with people. Service was friendly and responsive. Even though I didn't see brewed coffee on the menu, I did espy what I thought was a coffee maker. Still, I went ahead with an Americano. It was decent. I ordered a pistachio cookie. With dabs of white chocolate, it was excellent with a pronounced pistachio flavor. My niece ordered a hefty-sized strawberry croissant. It had a delicious filling. JP ordered the 3D Pomegranate dessert. It had a nice texture and light pleasant pomegranate flavor. There's several tables at Emmy's so you can enjoy your purchases here. read more

Their dessert are really good. I got the Tarte Emmy: A buttery tart shell filled with airy pistachio mousse and a smooth raspberry crémeux. The perfect balance between the nutty richness of pistachio and the fruity tang of raspberry refined, fresh, and irresistible. It was delicious!! However their Chai would not recommend. Its not chai, its syrup and milk. Thats not true chai unfortunately. Always ask how they make the drinks just incase. Overall the service was fine and the ambiance is pretty. read more

As we walked back to the U Street, 13th street, Metro, my niece spotted this restaurant and said it was a TikTok place :) Not as busy on a Friday night. Tiny sitting areas however.

The Mango was GOOOOOOOOOOOD, strawberry not so good All workers were pleasant read more

This is one of the cutest little French bakeries in DC. I just love the overall ambiance even though it's simple. I stopped by earlier today to try their viral cakes. I got the strawberry cake and it was ok. I expected it to be much sweeter and I wanted more cake. The service was nice and they were pretty quick, these pastries are pricey so be prepared for that. Clean, cute, and cozy. Perfect for a little date. read more

With Emmy, they are known for their fruit shaped desserts, and they excel at that. The mango dessert I had was whimsical, fun, and didn't compromise on flavor given the presentation. I wanted to try more fruits but they were sadly out of it. This is what they're known for and I'd suggest coming here for that. When I went, it was packed and crowded. I got the cheesecake which was one-dimensional and had a texture that was more like a sponge cake. I had a friend that also came here after me that said customer service for her was a bit lacking. read more

So, was influenced from TikTok to come here lolol. Came after work, so around 4:45 pm and thankfully they still had some strawberries. I'll have to come back earlier in the day to get a lemon. Anyway, the strawberry is $16. Is it worth $16? It's light and nice for summer and total social media aesthetic vibes. The strawberry is covered in white chocolate with a light strawberry moose and strawberry jam filling on top of a white cake. IDK if it's worth $16. IMO the cake was dry AF and my husband thinks it was pre-bought. Also, from being in a fridge all day it was slightly frozen inside. I am curious about there crepes, so if I'm ever on U st, I'll come back to try those. Service is definitely quick and I could tell they were busy when I came because none of the tables were cleared. Once I entered, I saw someone cleaning a table for us to sit, which was nice. read more

Me and wife stopped here after brunch. We saw this place on TikTok and said next time we're in DC we have to try it. My wife said the vibe Inside is cozy and intimate. She ordered two mango's and Pistachio to go. Service was quick and decent. I took a picture as soon as she got in the car and we dug in. I can honestly say I've never had a dessert like that with so much texture and just good tastes Although this is a tasty treat it seems a little over priced to me read more

Emmy was terrible. My daughter and I ordered the Dubai chocolate cake and the coconut mango fruit dessert. They were both bland. The Dubai cake was hard and tasteless. The Kanefeh was dry. The Coconut Mango dessert was also taste teal. The mousse didn't have any flavor. The texture was ok. The mango filling also just tasted sweet, no mango. The girls working there were as unremarkable. One was as bland as the food and the other spent the whike time catering to police officers and speaking loudly but walked away from the register when I walked up. Don't waste your money. read more

The pastries were amazing fresh and delicious, not too sweet and quality ingredients. The shop was really cute, with French music and all. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the iced Chai I got was way too sweet. With less it would've been great. read more

Of course my 7 year old convinced me to go here to try their fruit deserts. It's a very nice corner pastry spot down on U Street. The ambiance gives very elegant and French vibes. The service was top tier. The workers there were so nice and helpful in helping us choose the deserts we wanted to try. We decided on strawberry, mango, lemon, and hazelnut. Me and my daughter were a big fan of the lemon and mango. We also tried the peach, dubai chocolate, & the pear which we weren't a big fan of but all of them are good you just gotta find your flavor read more

Emmy French Corner - A mango trompe l'oeil pastry and lemon filled madeline. - French Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I came here at around 9 am for some sweet treats and a breakfast. the inside is super cute, I really appreciated the theme and it made my dining experience quite pleasant. The staff were really friendly as well. My partner and I ordered the mango, strawberry, strawberry cream croissant, and dubai chocolate crepe. We knew what to expect price-wise, so despite the lack of pastry signage we were prepared for our final bill. The dubai chocolate crepe was probably the best thing we had, but it needed a lot more chocolate as most of it was just pistachio and pretty one-note. The strawberry cream croissant was good but not fresh and my partner commented the strawberries tasted frozen (I didn't really agree). The mango had a light mango flavor and was good but i wouldn't pay $12 for it. The strawberry was frozen in the middle, even after leaving it at room temperature for 15 minutes as recommended. I definitely would not be $12 for the fruits, but some of their other stuff (like the crepes) are worth a buy. read more

3 stars based on trying a pastry, a crepe and a coffee. None of which I'd return for - try the desserts (but there were none available when I visited in the morning) The spinach pastry is inside a sweet dough which makes the overall flavor profile taste weird - a little salty but overly sweet. Texture was soft, it wasn't a fresh pastry and not properly laminated to create fluffy buttery layers. The crepe was made fresh, but using deli quality ingredients. Maybe stick to sweet crepes. Ordered a drip coffee and it was as expected read more

The mango ice cream is soooooo delicious. The mango flavor is so yummy, and the texture of the inside and outside are both much softer than I imagined. Absolute must try! The strawberry one was a bit underwhelming in comparison, but still good. read more

Sitting at a window table in Emmy writing this review. I come here about 3 times a week, mostly because it's quiet, quaint, the staff is personable, and the pastries are both eye pleasing and delicious. They have perfected both sweet and savory crepes and the coffee is almost as good as that I drank my way through Paris. Recommend for a quick stop, a relaxing sit down, or a few hours with head in computer. Tell them Anita told you to visit. A read more

I enjoyed the cocoa pastry I had. It has kunafa and pistachio in it, making it like the Dubai chocolate. My friends had the coconut/mango and pear pastries but they weren't as flavorful and sweet. I think they were each $15 each. Nice to try but I wouldn't go back for these pastries. They did have a variety of other croissant and tartes available. read more

From the outside, I think the place is very inviting. The display is pretty and bright. I thought the employees were well dressed and I liked the French- like ambiance. We visited at the end of the day, and the tables had crumbs and I noticed crumbs on the floor. Unfortunately there was a ear-piercing loud beeping noise going off every 5 minutes. Down to the food: the crepe we had was utterly delicious. read more

This feels like a tourist trap - was looking for a bakery in the city and stumbled upon this one. Their viral fruit desserts look pretty but are lackluster in taste and are not worth the price. The marble cake was super dry. The place was packed with not enough seating - someone was in there asking for money while I waited to use the restroom. Overall, would not recommend someone ever going here. There's better options. read more

The pistachio croissant was so delicious and flavorful. The owner told me you had to try it and did not disappoint. As he said "best in the city." And he did not lie. Will certainly be returning. The cafe is beautiful and has amazing vibe. Wish I came earlier in the day to sit and relax. Everything is house made. They also do custom cake and have chef recommendations. read more

Love having a cute pastry place in the neighborhood. We tried the Emmy tart. I will say the description on the sign didn't match what was actually in the tart which was odd. It was a tasty tart just not fully what we were expecting. I also found the gelatin layer of the tart to be a little thick and the price to be a bit high for what it was. Overall nice addition to the neighborhood. Hopefully more cute businesses like this come around u street. read more

I watched so many reviews from influencers about this place. Traveled from Nevada and made sure to find time to visit. All I can say is I was disappointed. I bought 2 mangos 1 lemon 1 peach and a pistachio tart. I don't believe any of these influencers anymore because these tasted below a 5. Peach one smelt like Parmesan cheese. Not sure if it was bad milk or items were not refrigerated but It wasn't fun. Presentation is a 10 out of 10 the workers were great. The desserts just were not as good as I thought due to these wonderful reviews. Bathroom was so disgusting and trust the sayings about bathrooms being dirty. My significant other said they weren't bad but more of a glorified whipped cream dessert than anything else. He rated a 5 out of 10. I rate a -1 for desserts but 10 for presentation. My nephew is 14 and ate everything cause I couldn't so I guess he liked it. Lol sorry I just want to be honest. I kept the beautiful packaging also. read more

My husband and I visited Emmy French Corner and were warmly greeted by a kind older woman who helped us pick out our treats. When it came time to check out, we were helped by one of the sweetest ladies--we could feel her genuine enthusiasm! She hyped us up about our choices, saying my husband had great taste and that just one bite of the cake would transport us straight to the heart of Paris. As tourists, it was such a delightful way to wrap up our week in DC. Thank you, Emmy French Corner, for the lovely experience! read more

I've been here twice. The first time, the cashier was very rude but I brushed it off because I was in a hurry. The second time, I was also in a hurry and ordered a matcha latte with regular milk, a pump of lavender syrup and a pump of caramel. Here's a picture of my "matcha latte." It was hot so I didn't try it until I made it to Malcom X Park, where I was meeting friends. Was disappointed to taste a lavender flavored coconut milk once it cooled down. I tasted no matcha or caramel and it wasn't made with whole milk as requested. I also had to double back after walking a few steps from the restaurant because the cashier didn't give me a coffee sleeve and it was VERY hot. WILL NOT BE COMING BACK! SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! Also, there's a +$1 charge for each pump of syrup which is ridiculous, especially when they don't even add the syrup I asked for. Edit: I forgot to mention that the bathroom was really gross/ smelly and the toilet was clogged. Not sure this is fully their fault but worth noting. read more
