The service is okay -- not overly friendly or especially helpful, but not bad either. It gets the job done. The pistachio chocolate croissant is really good -- definitely one of my favorites there. I just wish they posted when the pastries are made throughout the day. I asked once about timing and didn't really get a clear answer, and it would be nice to know when things are freshest. Also, their London Fog steamer is delicious and perfectly comforting. Overall, a great little bakery with some standout items -- just a bit more communication and warmth in service would easily make this a five-star experience.

Last time I was in the area, Honeys And Friend was open. It was a Sunday evening and the place was…read moremostly operating as an ice cream parlor, but there were bottles of wine lining the walls and the owner explained how they do wine tastings some nights too. Owner was hanging around the shop chatting with people who came in. It does feel a little like you are ordering your ice cream from a wine shop but don't let that make you skeptical of how the ice cream will taste as it was delicious.

I went back again this week and Honeys has changed! The ice cream is still fire but the interior is…read moredrastically different. They're now selling alcohol by the glass and the bottle, alone with some odd trinkets. They had signs talking about more changes, so I'll be interested to see what happens in the future. This time I got the honey and lavender ice cream, which was light and floral, and my friend got the mint chocolate chip, which was refreshing. It's good ice cream!

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!

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.

Rose Ave Bakery has been on my radar since early this year! I finally made it to DC this weekend…read moreand this was naturally our first stop. They are open until 1 PM on Saturdays, we reached at around 11:30 AM and I was half hoping for them to be out of most items. Fortunately, even though they were super packed, we were able to find all of the items we were looking for - thanks to the hard working staff as they continue to make their pastries until closing - unlike so many other bakeries these days that make a certain amount and call it a day! Now to the food, everything we had was absolutely phenomenal! I am not a donut person but I loved theirs as they were very flavorful and weren't too sweet. I definitely prefer their Ube and Pandan over the Black sesame donut. The Matcha chocolate croissant and the Ube Kouign Amann were my favorites of the bunch! I cannot recommend them enough, this will surely be my first stop every time I am in DC!

Especially the desserts, the matcha was alright. I think the banana latte was better than the matcha. I think the matcha was lacking the mango flavor. The line was long, but the service went quickly! It's a small cafe with some seats inside and some outside. Not a ton of space.

We were able to order and get our food quickly and get seats, despite Tatte being busy. The costs were reasonable for our portion sizes and everything was beautifully plated. I got the tomato basil soup and the lamb hash and both were delicious. The tomato basil soup was rich and creamy; however, the roll could have been better. My lamb hash was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the potatoes. The labneh, herbs, and the tomato salad added delicious freshness to the hash, and the challah served as a great vessel for eating the hash. I tried my friend's spinach, Jerusalem artichoke, and egg plate, and it was also tasty, with properly done eggs and hearty bread. I would recommend Tatte for your next weekend brunch!

Levain Bakery is rightfully famous for its massive cookies, although it is quite pricey…read more There was a constant flow of customers, so it was a bit difficult to choose from the beautiful display of desserts. There were a few seasonal items that captured a spring aesthetic. Everything was packed well and we were out quickly. *Carrot Cake: one of their seasonal offerings and my favorite of the bunch. It was not the moistest cookie, but it tasted the most balanced. There was a subtle sweetness, although I would have loved to see more elements of a traditional carrot cake highlighted, such as raisins or warm spices. *Cherry Scone: reflective of the fleeting cherry blossom season. My party was split on the texture, with some disliking how dense and heavy it tasted. I personally did not find it dry or overly crumbly. The cherry flavor was light, and it colored the dough nicely and paired well with a darker beverage. *Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip: subtle coconut shavings with barely noticeable caramel. The chocolate chips were by far the most dominant ingredient and flavor. Apparently one of their classic flavors, but it was my least favorite. I was actually more impressed by their seasonal offerings, which is disappointing since those rotate out. Their classics are popular for a reason, but they do not feel refined enough to justify the pricing compared to other bakeries. I would not mind splitting a cookie with a friend, although I would not go out of my way for one.

I finally got to try Levain Bakery! It is a small shop, and it could be crowded. The service was…read morenice. I had to order the chocolate chip and walnut cookie and coffee sour cream loaf. My cookie was not served warm so I waited till home. Cookie is nice and big, definitely good....but it is not exceptional enough, especially for the price of $6. Coffee sour cream loaf was also good. Again nothing so special, but satisfying. Overall, it is a good bakery for sure....little overpriced and overhyped. If I was in the area, I would try them again....but I would not go out of my way.

Wanting to pop in, I ordered the iced tea as a pick-me-up. Although there isn't much to alter a standard iced tea, I thought it was pretty clean to try (if that makes sense?) Inside of the cafe, there was plenty of seating where people worked on their laptops (and super quiet too). If I'm ever in the area again, I will be open to try more of their drink options!

Oh this was a joy! The last thing we need is a place that combines ice cream and a bar. I heard…read moreabout their newer ice cream martinis and some friends and I had to experience it. They have several different kinds, and I opted for The peanut butter cup martini. My friends got the cinnamon toast crunch and limoncello martinis... Both were scrumptious but mine was my fav. They have quite a variety of ice cream, and I only peeped one vegan flavor (vanilla). They do milkshakes, lights, and more. My mission this summer is to try every martini flavor. And yes. Yes they do have liquor. With the friendly staff, chill environment, and smell of ice cream in the air, I can't wait to come back.

Service was efficient and quick. Once we finished ordering we found an empty table and omg someone who worked there immediately told us to wait while they cleaned off the table which I really appreciated. The place is so so cute. I love how it's decorated, the atmosphere and the layout with the booths and people vibing and enjoying their food. I want to come back and try other menu items.
