Food: Tried the chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie, and sweet potato cake. Cookies were FRESH. Soft, flavorful, exactly what you want. The sweet potato cake was moist and had great flavor overall, but part of it was burnt. I even asked for a specific piece to avoid that. Ended up eating most of it, but the burnt section was too much. Honestly, that whole cake probably should've been scrapped. Service/Timing: Friendly and helpful. No complaints there. Value: Good. $10(8 cookies and what I'd consider 1/4 slice of cake.Quality was mostly there, but the burnt cake keeps it from being top tier. Highlight Fresh Wrap-Up: Strong start overall. The cookies alone make it worth stopping by. Just tighten up quality control on the cakes and it's easily a 5-star experience.

If you're in the DMV and need a cake solution, check out Alicia at @sweet_elevations…read more These cupcakes were for my mother's birthday and I couldn't have been happier. They are as good as they are pretty. I'm a buttercream and TRUE cake fan and these both were spot in. This buttercream and rich and the cake is moist with just the right amount of density. Listen, there is a clear cupcake war in the DMV and forgive me for coming to the party late on Sweet Elevations but you guys can't talk #cupcakewars without mentioning Sweet Elevation. Do yourself a favor and let her do the cakes for your next event! She threw in a free sweet potato cupcake which obviously didn't make it home Alicia's customer service is great. There are 3 criteria which I use to evaluate a cupcake experience and those are 1) buttercream quality, 2) cake quality and 3) price. Sweet Elevation checks off on all three. I'll be back again this summer.

While a few minor updates could enhance the space, it was overall very cute and welcoming. The young woman working there was knowledgeable and friendly. She took the time to explain the six cupcake flavors available that day and shared some of the shop's history, which was a nice touch and made the experience more memorable. As for the cupcakes, I had very high expectations and was hoping they would be outstanding. They were definitely good, but they didn't quite wow me. While I'm glad we gave the shop a try, I'm not sure it's a place I would feel the need to visit again.

So literally, I just got home from Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, and I went there on happenstance after…read moremy sewing class because I was so close to Sonic. We do not have one where I live, so I naturally get excited every time I'm near one, and I make it my mission to stop and get a slushie. I traditionally get the lemon slush or the lime slush. But unbeknownst to me, Sonic redid their menu. Since there isn't one close to my house, I had to update the app and sign back in. Then I tried to order my usual drink, but because it had been more than 90 days since my last visit, my previous order was gone. So I started looking through the menu, only to realize the lemon frozen slush and the lime frozen slush were no longer there. I literally spent over 30 minutes sitting in the Sonic stall scrolling through the app because you have to order through it to get the half-price slushes. Now they have these new slushes with some type of tea concentrate, and I already know I don't like green tea. I didn't want to risk paying for something I probably wouldn't enjoy, especially since there wasn't an option to sample it. So I opened my Maps app to see what was nearby. That's when I noticed that a young lady I'd been following on Instagram had her Italian ice shop close by. I thought, "Oh my goodness!" It was less than a mile away, so I drove over to Killa Italian Ice & Smoothie and picked up some lemonade and a slice of cake. After that, I thought, "Let me see what other small businesses I can support while I'm over here." I wasn't really interested in any of the other food options because they were things I could already get in Woodbridge. So I searched for bakeries and found Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, just a short drive away. I walked in, and to my surprise, they had a full restaurant menu in addition to their baked goods. Let me tell you, these people were so amazingly welcoming the moment I walked in. "Hey, sis!" "Hi, welcome!" I immediately felt at home, and I honestly haven't felt that way in an establishment in a very long time. I ended up telling the young lady behind the register about my whole Sonic adventure, and she said, "Well, let me let you try my chicken curry salad." Now, I didn't have the heart to tell her that I don't like chicken salad, so I said, "Okay." Let me tell you...that chicken curry salad was banging. I was like, "Oh wow. This is good." As we kept talking, I looked over the menu and realized I didn't want my usual comfort foods like pizza, collard greens, or macaroni. I wanted to try something different. So I ordered their Chicken with Attitude with rice and cabbage. The chicken had a Middle Eastern rustic flavor. It was roasted, incredibly tender, and unlike anything I'd had before. It's definitely a different taste and probably an acquired one, but I really enjoyed it. Although I'd only had that sample of the chicken curry salad, it was so good that I ordered half a pound of it to take home, along with a piece of pound cake. Like I said at the beginning, I DO NOT EAT chicken salad, but it completely surprised me. But beyond the food, they brought me a complimentary lemonade while I was sitting there eating. It tasted so fresh, like freshly squeezed lemon with other fresh fruit over ice. It was absolutely delicious and refreshing. Everywhere throughout the restaurant were little signs about genuine kindness. The whole place just felt welcoming. Being from Alabama, I grew up with Southern hospitality. You make eye contact, greet people, and make them feel at home. That's not meant to discredit businesses in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. This area is a melting pot of people from all over the world, and culturally, not everyone expresses hospitality the same way. But when I walked into Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, every single person embodied that welcoming spirit. It wasn't just one employee. It was the people behind the counter, the people coming out of the kitchen, and even those arriving for work. I just remember thinking, "Wow." I felt safe. I felt welcomed. I felt wanted. I felt at home. I felt like family. More than the food, I felt like I had found my tribe. I found my village. I honestly wish I lived closer because, if I did, I'd probably be there every day. Since moving to this area in 2009, that's the feeling I've been missing. If I could recommend Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes a million times over, it wouldn't just be because of the food. It would be because of the sense of belonging. It's that feeling of walking into a place where everybody knows your name, even when they don't. If you're going through something, this is the place to go. Not just to feed your belly, but to feed your soul.

They had fans going to def too hot to stay. I would say everything I ordered was okay. So it's worth stopping if it's convenient but not enough to go too far out the of your way. I got jerk wings (but there was hardly any seasoning on them), peach cobbler (was mostly just peaches that tasted canned), cookies and cream cheesecake, and glazed pound cake.

Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen: Our Father-Daughter Quest for Burger Greatness…read more My daughter and I were back on our mission to find the best burger spots in the DMV. This time, we chose Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen, mostly because their food pictures had us ready to risk our budgets and our diets. When we walked in, the menu surprised both of us. It was huge -- burgers, grilled cheeses, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes in bottles. My eyes immediately locked onto the desserts like they owed me money. I was so distracted by the sweets that my daughter had to take charge of the ordering. She knows how I get around sugar. After a few rounds of debate, we finally settled on: Lamb Burger Seafood Grilled Cheese Oreo Cookie Cupcake Snickerdoodle Cupcake Strawberry Shortcake While we were placing the order, I started talking to Naimah (hoping I spelled that right). I asked her if the food was good, and she hit me with a confident, energetic "YES." I told her if it wasn't, I'd be talking about her -- and she laughed like she knew she was safe. I could see the women in the kitchen working in their uniforms, focused and moving with purpose. That always gives me hope. Good food usually comes from people who look like they care. After a short wait, our food came out packed to go, but even through the containers, the aroma was strong enough to make us both hungry all over again. Everything passed the eye test -- visually perfect. We split both sandwiches.The Lamb Burger went first... and wow. It was beyond outstanding. I was blown away. My daughter isn't a lamb lover at all, but even she admitted it was really good -- which tells you how strong that burger was. This was clearly a homemade lamb patty -- juicy, seasoned, and paired with feta like it was meant to be. My mouth is watering again just thinking about it. Hands down the juiciest lamb burger I've ever had. Next was the Seafood Grilled Cheese. It was good, but something was missing. We added the sauce, which helped, but it still needed a little something to make it great. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The crab was lump, but it didn't stand out. My daughter said it needed a tomato to balance the flavors -- and honestly, she was right. A tomato might be the missing piece. Then came my favorite part: dessert. The Strawberry Shortcake was great, but I needed more whipped cream. That's just who I am. The cupcakes, though? Outstanding. Moist cake, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture, frosting that complimented instead of overpowering. They were the kind of cupcakes that make you close your eyes for a second. We'll definitely be back to Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen to try more things.And yes -- Naimah is safe. I don't need to name‑drop her in shame.

I found this place while I was visiting another business nearby…read more The name Yellow Bun and Chocolate got me. I thought it was a dessert place. But, I walked in and found that they actually have an array of savory items as well. First things first, it's carryout so no place to dine. But the service is awesome. I've been a few times and have gotten a different person every time and they have all been really helpful and kind. I met the owner the first time who recommended the Turkey Club as it's one of their headlining items and remarked that they serve all day breakfast as well. After trying a few items, I can say that they rarely miss. My favorites are: *Yellow Cupcake with Chocolate Icing. Pretty simple but it's my favorite type of cupcake and it never disappoints. *Brioche Bacon, Egg and Cheese. The eggs were fluffy, the sandwich was flavorful and filling. I've a had a few from different places and this is at the top for me. *Turkey Club. I have no complaints about this one. I've ordered it a few times and enjoyed it every time. It doesn't come with a side but you really don't need it. All in all, I'm a repeat customer so I order from them from time to time and have recommended them as well.
