Not $60 doughnuts .... And also described as not dreadful?? cinnamon struseul was best of the bunch and was still just okay. But wow were the rest disappointing (super frustrating bc they look very pretty). All of them felt old and dry, the buttermilk glazed (which tasted like it had citrus glaze icing) and the citrus cake (way dense) were the driest. Chocolate ganache doesn't even taste like chocolate more chemical than anything. Service was extremely slow when all they had to do was place doughnuts in a box -- also seemed like customers were an inconvenience. Overall absolutely go buy other doughnuts. Don't waste your money, product to cost ratio is 1 star.

This was what the stall looks like.

This place is located in Union Market, in a corner stall. I had the cinnamon streusel doughnut. It was delightful! It was light and had a good, but not too overpowering flavor, and it was overly sweet. It tasted like a real doughnut made with good ingredients. The price point of the doughnuts reflects the quality of the ingredients. The owner is very nice and happy to explain the various flavors if you asked. He was very helpful! He told me that if you want the popular flavors, try to get there before 1pm because they sell out, as you can see in one of the photos. Enjoy your life and treat yourself to a Handcraft Doughnut!

Glazed Donut

I took my daughter here one weekend we dropped by Union Market. She was a little intimidated by the "fancy donuts" but we settled on just a glazed one and it was perfect! The donut was huge and fluffy and fresh.

Delicious! I've always passed the spot but never tried it. They've always looked so good! Today I needed something sweet to eat and stopped by. She had some really interesting flavors I wanted to try but ran out. That's okay, I'll be back, especially for that strawberry chai. Today I got the huckleberry cake and blueberry basil. Both were really good but I loved the base on the huckleberry more, I like the denseness of it. I'm excited to come back and try more!

I really wanted to love these donuts - they're so pretty, and the woman who helped me was great - but unfortunately, they were very dry. They definitely taste better warmed up, but I don't like when they're dry right from pickup.

Half dozen $30

Handcraft Doughnuts at Union Market is always tempting -- but bring your wallet. I grabbed a half dozen and, while good, they didn't quite wow me. At about $5 each, I expected more decadence. Some were a little dry, and I miss the richer fillings they used to offer. Overall taste? A 7.5/10. Still a solid spot if you get there early (they often sell out by the afternoon), but at these prices, I may pass next time

This is in the food hall portion of union market. My first thought looking at it is wow that's kind of a lot for a doughnut. But then I actually looked at the donuts and said oh I'll get half a dozen. This actually ended up being seven as apparently one of them came out on the smaller side so they offered me an extra. Having gotten them to share with others, they all ended up disappearing quickly, and I only got a little taste of the passionfruit one myself, which did deliver on flavor. It was a splendid looking spread, and the flavor choices were distinctive. Their website states that they are considering doing options for special dietary needs, but at the moment this is not the place for that. Perhaps they will expand into their own store.

Yummy donuts inside Union Market! They're not cheap but they're tasty and so worth it! There was a line here and I can see why! It's just that good. It was really hard to pick but I went with the brown butter maple and OMG, I want one (or two) like today. I always say I'm not huge on sweets, but this place is going to make me return soon. The service was top notch! Thank you!!

While out enjoying some beautiful weather in Union market, I noticed that the people next to me were eating donuts. As a self certified donut connoisseur, Sommelier, aficionado, I had to ask where they had purchased them. I also had some friends with me so this was a great opportunity to Induct them in to membership. We chose four donuts. The Matcha berry, the chocolate, the glazed, and the strawberry. The Matcha berry was our absolute favorite. The Matcha was not overly sweet, but gave a nice creamy experience and the very inside was fresh and a beautiful accompaniment to the Matcha. The chocolate is definitely a dark chocolate so it's a bit bitter. If you're looking for a sweet chocolate experience, this is not the donut for you. The glaze we rated a three on a scale of one to five. The inside was a bit dry and didn't have a great chewy mouth, Deal. The glaze was not overly sweet, which we lied. The other one with strawberry also got a 3.5 because we did enjoy the chewing us and the fresh berry experience. Overall, the donuts were good and when I'm back in the area, I will definitely get the Matcha again.

Brought 6 donuts to a party and they were the most popular item there hands down. I was elated to discover they've an earl grey flavor donut and loved all the different flavors we bought. Will definitely come back again for future to try out other flavors.

Blueberry cheesecake donut
Lily B.

This donut was everything I wanted and more. Look at it, it's perfect. So light and fluffy, every nook and cranny covered in glaze. There was also cheesecake filling beneath those perfectly juicy blueberries. Do you see the lemon zest and rosemary flecks? Like c'mon, no wonder they are called handcraft donuts. I don't even care that this donut was over $7 - it was big and made my day so much better. Please stay in Union market or open a storefront!

I absolutely LOVE these doughnuts! They're not too doughy! They're light and the perfect amount of sweat! ALLLLLLL the flavors, EVERY SINGLE FLAVOR IS delicious! It's genuinely difficult to choose and not get all of them every time! Everyone that works here is amazingly kind and they're always smiling. Always positive vibes and good eats! It's currently 1am & I want some right now LOL!!!

Got the yuzu ganache and I actually could taste the citrus. Loved the variety of flavors, they all looked so good. The donut dough itself was a little cakes for me but I still enjoyed it.

A tasty sweet treat near City Center DC…read more I enjoy coming here when my sweet tooth is talking to me lol. I ordered a small cup of banana foster & dark chocolate and during the summer time my favorite is the thai coconut milk & vietnamese cinnamon because it has a sweet & savory taste to it (the best combo ever). I normally get a small cup because the portions are filling especially if you had lunch or dinner beforehand. They also sell pints of gelato, sorbetto, tea, coffee, & seasonal drinks as well. There's seating inside & outside. The store is fairly small, but you're still able to sit with a few friends. The service was quick & you're able to try out the flavors. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Typically there's a long line, but it moves very quickly.

Busy busy busy!! This place was packed on a Saturday night…read more Super hot June night, the gelato was melting by the time you stepped foot out the doors! Having to sit outside due to no available seating indoors made it worse. Gelato was tasty, nothing to get worked up for in my opinion, but maybe the fruity flavors are better! Being a frozen dessert connoisseur, I was a bit let down. Didn't finish due to the soup mess in my cup that was running all over the place & the spoon with 0 ladling power. Didn't feel like I was missing out by tossing the remnants. Come here to spend a pretty penny on some gelato!

Now y'all KNOW your girl knows how to eat, and apparently, we know how to keep the party going…read moreAFTER dinner, too! Because why were we already full from eating at a nearby restaurant, but somehow still found room for dessert? Listen, don't judge us! Mind your business! The Peach Cobbler Factory DC was just a quick little stroll from where we'd eaten. We told ourselves we were walking off dinner, but clearly, we were walking straight into some more calories! Now, if you've been to the Maryland location, just know the DC spot is giving a much smaller, more intimate situation. And when I tell you the people were IN THERE?! Whew! The DMV was outside and apparently everybody had the same sweet tooth that evening! But shoutout to the young man holding it down at the register! Because despite that crowd, he was moving that line with efficiency! No confusion, no unnecessary foolishness, just getting folks in and out. We LOVE to see it! Now let's get into why I really came here... that Peanut Butter Praline Brownie! YASSSSS!!! When I tell you that thing was RICH?! Not regular rich. I'm talking Potomac waterfront, big-house-in-Bowie, don't-ask-me-what-I-do-for-a-living RICH! Decadent. Indulgent. Sinful. The kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes after the first bite and reconsider every decision that led you to this moment... but in the BEST possible way! That brownie was NOT playing with anybody's taste buds! And if you're a chocolate and peanut butter lover, just know you're stepping into dangerous territory! Was I full? Absolutely. Did I need it? Not even a little bit. Would I do it again? WITHOUT HESITATION!

The wait was long considering there were four people in the restaurant and three workers. The lady taking orders was rather short with everyone. The weed smell didn't help. Even the delivery guys-uber eats and the like-were getting pissed at her. Additionally, orders were taken just to wait 15 to 20 minutes then be told some portion of their order was not available. It seems like one could know this much faster given that there were two guys working the back while she ran the register. Good dessert but not enough to wait for 35 minutes behind three other people.

Our server was pleasant, attentive, and quick to respond. We ordered the following: Almond milk latte Latte Eggs Royale x2 Side of avocado The eggs royale featured smoked salmon, hash browns, béarnaise, poached egg, and choice of coffee or tea for $30. My friend and I upgraded to lattes and shared a side of avocado. The eggs royale were delish and quite filling. The restaurant is housed inside the beautiful Riggs National Bank, built in 1891 which has seen since been transformed into a hotel. I highly recommend checking out the cafe!

It was…read morean odd encounter, she said she would be back to help us and after she was done with her task, she stood in front of her receptionist table without looking at us or waving us over. The table is in a weird spot in the middle of the restaurant, so we didn't know that's where we needed to be to speak with her. She acted kind of like an NPC. She then proceeded to tell us nothing was available, even though a lot of tables were empty and stayed empty after we were done with our meal on the way out. She directed us to sit on the sofas in the back. After brunch, I did my usual payment and due diligence of making my own copy of the receipt. My credit card statement was posted and I noticed a big discrepancy. I was charged almost $10 more than what I agreed to pay. I contacted the cafe and was directed to the manager, Colt, who said he would look into it. I sent him an email with the information and picture of my receipt. I haven't received a response or an indication that they will be correcting the discrepancy and they will be discussing this with the server who generously tipped themselves extra. I'm sad to say I don't recommend this place due to the unfriendly atmosphere and the shady financial practices of their staff.
