The place was very cute and the desserts was delicious ,the staff also friendly ,il Will be back

I finally had to try Emmy French Corner because it is literally within walking distance of my job and had completely taken over my TikTok and Instagram feeds. Every time I opened social media, someone was posting their beautiful fruit shaped desserts, crepes, or pastries, so I knew I had to see if the hype was real. After visiting, I completely understand why this place has gone viral. The first thing you notice when you walk in is how cute and aesthetically pleasing the café is. The space feels very Parisian, cozy, and photogenic without feeling overly staged. A lot of customers online mention how charming and quaint the atmosphere is, and I definitely agree. It feels like one of those hidden spots in DC where people come to relax, take pictures, enjoy coffee, and treat themselves to dessert after work or on the weekend. My favorite item is easily the strawberry banana crepe. The crepe was soft, warm, and filled generously without being too heavy. The strawberries tasted fresh, the bananas added the perfect sweetness, and everything together felt light but still indulgent. I also loved the strawberry fruit dessert, which honestly looks almost too beautiful to eat when they first bring it out. The presentation is one of the biggest reasons people keep talking about Emmy online. Their fruit shaped desserts have become a huge social media attraction, but what impressed me was that the desserts actually taste good too. Many reviews mention that the desserts are not overly sweet, which makes them even better because you can enjoy the flavors without feeling overwhelmed by sugar. Another thing I appreciated was the variety. Customers constantly talk about how many dessert choices there are, from crepes and croissants to cakes, pastries, coffees, and their famous viral fruit desserts. It almost becomes hard to choose because everything in the display case looks good. The pistachio croissant and other pastries also receive a lot of praise online, and I can definitely see why people return multiple times to try different items. The service was also good during my visit. Even though the café can get crowded because of the social media popularity, the staff still kept things moving and maintained a welcoming environment. Several reviews mention the friendly customer service and clean atmosphere, and that matched my experience as well. Overall, Emmy French Corner is more than just a viral dessert spot. It is actually a really enjoyable experience. Between the presentation, the atmosphere, and the quality of the desserts, it is easy to understand why so many people in DC are talking about it. If you work nearby, live in the city, or are just visiting Washington, DC, I would definitely recommend stopping by for dessert and coffee. The strawberry banana crepe alone is worth the visit. 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

The place is cute, clean, and has a wide variety of pastries and coffees. I got an almond milk latte (not pictured) that was very good. The only thing I would improve is an addition of sugar free syrups to the coffee menu. I will definitely return. 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

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

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. Nice, bright and clean. She got a mango and strawberry pastry (or something). Both items came to $28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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

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

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

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

Took a break from the cold in this cute corner cafe. You're greeted by the friendly staff and the sight of cute desserts. We took lots of pictures with Parisian style furniture. Ordered a chai latte and substituted milk with oat milk. It was warm and light, perfect for cold weather at night! We walked from a friend's place but there's paid street parking available. 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

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

Emmy French Corner - "Matcha" latte (with so little matcha, I just tasted milk. - 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

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 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

This place is very cute. I learned about it from TikTok. Pastries were very flavorful. We wanted to try more but we didn't get there until early afternoon so I guess if you want more, get there early. The customer service was decent. Nothing out the way nice but they weren't rude either. I would go back. The two items we got ran us about $30. 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

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

Have been twice and enjoyed both times! My favorite is the pistachio, but they're all so fun and delicious. The crunch you get when you bite into them is so worth it. 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

So I was able to stop by here since it was close to the metro and decided to try the place out. I've been meaning to try this place out and seen a bunch of tiktoks on it. I got the spinach pastry and then one of trompe l'oeuil fruit dessert. I only got one bc none of the pastries have any price tags on them. I can see why bc one of those fruits costs about $12.99. Were they worth it? IMO, I don't think so. It was fun to eat but even then, I didn't like the inside of mine which was the pear fruit. The cafe is aesthetically cute though and very french-esque, so definitely instagram-worthy. I would pass on coming back here again though. Just my two cents. 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

From the moment we walked in and I surprised my daughter, we were welcomed. The employees were kind and helpful. The beautiful woman behind the counter was patient when dealing with my daughter who was contemplating all of the beautiful desserts. She even told us her favorites and the flavor profiles of each dessert. The gentleman who rang us up was kind and genuinely excited when he heard we were making a pit stop en route to our dance competition. We will definitely be returning. Vibes are great, pastries are amazing and delicious. read more

We were really looking forward to this place. We had seen some fun videos and it was going to be the highlight of our day. We ordered the crêpes which were fantastic. We also ordered the cute fruit custard desserts, which were also great. The coffee and Matcha were not very good at all. We ended up tossing them. The ambience was cute. But the worst part of this was the service. There was a tall, then younger gentleman who clearly did not want to work. And a younger girl who was following him around. We waited 20 minutes for our coffee and an additional 10 minutes for our crêpes. We were the only customers in the place. I am not sure if we did not tip enough when we paid or why they didn't want to make our food. Another family came in after us and they did not move much faster for them either. This might just be the pace of this bakery. Unfortunately, due to the service this is a one and done for us and I am not sure if it is worth you I'm going there. read more

Summary: Beautiful atmosphere. Kind owners. Lack of clarity to customers, questionable sanitary wise, room for improvement. Lacking desserts. Food: I've tried numerous things here and have been here numerous times. The only thing that stood out was the coconut dessert which on its own is a 7.4/10. The hyper realistic fruit is slightly above average looking but is extremely lacking taste wise. The other desserts are weak as well. Cookies were dry and stale tasting. Pistachio dome and flack Forest cake fell flat and did not have complimenting flavors or textures. Professionalism:The crepe I received came without pistachio. According to the man who made it they ran out but didn't tell me that prior to receiving it. it was corrected when I notified the cashier proving they were not in fact out, I'm assuming he didn't want to refill the bottle. I was told they shipped their ingredients from Europe. However all the syrups and products seen were Hershey's, or other various cheap American products. Sanitary: The crepe station had a hair on the counter which came in very close contact with the food, said counter was also extremely unorganized Hospitality: kind, genuine owners. I was told they were out of mango but he pulled one last one out of the counter for me, I'm assuming he was saving it for someone. Atmosphere: aesthetic for sure, makes for lovely photos( when it's not so busy of course) it is often loud and crowded, would not make a good place for work meetings or studying Final thoughts: if you're someone who wants aesthetic foods in an aesthetic cafe this is the place for you! This is a new business, they won't always get it right the first time, or the fourth. There's always room for improvement to be made but due to my experiences I will not be coming back. read more

Major ooh la la, people! the food, the ambiance, the customer service, just the whole shebang was top tier! Walking home the other night, already freezing - it was just calling to me. I live nearby and have been meaning to stop in for the last nine months. Welp, get yourself there because it's worth it. First, the place looks and feels like a box of beautiful pastel macaroons, it's just adorable. And clean (which was especially refreshing given I had just emerged from the bowels of the metro). Second, the people - so nice, so friendly, so helpful, great customer service. Finally, the product! I tried the pistachio croissant. This was one of the best croissants I've ever had and that's not even hyperbole. And let's talk about lamination and flavor. Super good stuff! Do hurry up and go there! read more

This is such a cute addition to the neighborhood! Who would've thought there'd be a french cafe nestled in U st. I had the coconut (yum) mango (super yum) and brownie (yummmmm).
