So, I have a confession. I originally planned to go to another bakery in the Capitol Hill area, but they closed very early in the day. I needed treats for a party, and a quick Yelp search found this place nearby.
Am I ever glad that the first place was closed, as otherwise I never would have found this hidden gem.
It's owned by a mother and daughter team, with the daughter baking everything from scratch, on premises, as it is used. Like, the chocolate chip cookies literally came fresh out of the oven as I walked in the door.
I ended up ordering a bunch of things, including some macarons, a muffin, some scones, some peppermint/candy cane cheesecake bars, and a bunch of chocolate chip cookies.
Especially with macarons (which can be super expensive), it was ridiculously reasonable. Less than $25, which is a steal for all I got.
Also, I ended up sitting and eating the muffin on premises. First off, the muffin was delicious. Often baked goods are sickeningly sweet, and this was not. It was a lemon raspberry, and it was the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I also may or may not have taken one of the cookies I bought for the party, and it was still ooey-gooey in the middle, and divine. We will see if they make it to the party intact, or if I have one with a cold glass of milk.
The mother and daughter are so sweet and genuinely care about their business. They also do a lot of baking, and you can contact them for special orders.
Also, there is a TON of free parking right out front, and they're open until 9pm most weeknights, AND they have a huge coffee menu.
This is a hidden gem, and I think it's going to be very crowded very soon, so I suggest you get there now. read more
