This bakery is nearly identical, and they even have salsa music playing in the background. I also got the impression that is a family run bakery. They feature an extensive menu of cakes and pies that can be made to order. But the main part of the bakery has several dozen displays of various pasties and baked goods. This was an great find for me, and I couldn't help myself, so I got three different pastries. I bought two conchas, and one cinnamon and pecan roll. All three of them together were less than $7.00. I wish I could find a bakery like this a little closer to the city

From breads to cakes to cookies , they had it all. The dulce de leche cake was my favorite dessert. But the breakout star?? THE SALTEÑAS! I had never heard of it before but seeing how it was so packed inside I had to try what they're known for. OH MY WORD! It's a party of flavors! Why would I even get a Panera soup bowl again when I could have this sweet and savory soup inside of a perfectly baked pastry? I couldn't wait to eat it! I didn't even leave the parking lot and I had devoured it I got the chicken but I can't wait to come back and try the others. This place was exceptional!

Anyhoo this bakery was located about 2/3 lights up from the birthday party venue so I was super excited about that! Was welcomed and greeted with a smile...The young lady working made sure my order was correct and I was well on my way. Nothing Bundt Cakes are ALWAYS consistent! Can never go wrong with these for any event. Would definitely come here again if I'm in this area. Happy Yelping!

The tres leches was delicious. If you enjoy a very moist, milk-soaked cake, you will likely love…read morethis one. It was fully saturated with the milk mixture, which creates a rich texture and flavor. However, if you prefer a tres leches that leans more toward cake than liquid, this version may feel a bit too wet for your preference. I was somewhat disappointed with the mango mousse, as I was hoping for a stronger mango flavor to really stand out but it just wasn't there. I also tried the tiramisu, which was very nice and well balanced. Overall, there were some strong highlights, especially the tres leches and tiramisu. Overall a solid place but I have to go back and try other items before I can give it a four or five.

Unfortunately, not worth buying anything I tried. Got the opera cake and was so excited to take a…read morebite when I got home. Only to be disappointed and a little grossed out. The flavor was oddly floral (a leaf taste almost) which is weird as opera cake is only two flavors: raspberry and chocolate. There was no raspberry to speak of and the cake was a little dry. The New York cheesecake has a weird texture and tastes good but not like cheesecake. The store itself smelled like a nail salon which should have been a sign most probably. The bathroom is not available (which would be fine, if there was a curtain or door blocking saying staff only since a hallway seems like you can go in). The service was good and the girl there was very friendly. Save your money!

Potomac chocolate and Graffiti Cat Pizza is amazing!! Went here while hungry after exploring the…read morecity. Located in historic Occoquan VA, it's mainly a chocolate shop that ethically sources its cocoa from different countries around the world in order to make their in house (mostly dark) chocolate bars and bon bons. They also serve gelato, drinking chocolate (hot cocoa) and on select weekends homemade pizza with sourdough via Graffiti Cat! The shop is very small with no seating inside but there are a couple tables and chairs right outside and in the alley (in the winter we just get it to go or eat in the car). Parking is hard as it's very busy and it's on a historic street so it's all on the side of the sidewalk. The drinking chocolate is my favorite! I always have to order a traditional (think American hot cocoa but with a richer feel), and a European drinking chocolate (smaller cup with less milk but so rich like drinking straight melted dark chocolate!, so absolutely delicious!). I often get their bonbons as well which are handmade and have various flavors like toasted coconut, Ugandan Dark chocolate (named for the country of cocoa origin), raspberry and mint, along with a few others. I got the 70% dark chocolate, the mint chocolate, and the toasted coconut. I liked two of them but the mint chocolate tasted a bit too much like toothpaste to me so I didn't finish that one. Now onto the Pizza. They make their own sourdough for these personal size pizzas, and use fresh ingredients. They have a set menu except for one special pizza which changes each week and is updated on their website. I ordered the margarita pizza and added pepperoni on top. The margarita part was tasty and the sourdough really compliments the ingredients well...if you like sourdough you'll love these pizzas. I would say that the pepperoni is more porky than beefy and since I don't tend to like pork I didn't appreciate it as much as I usually do. If you like pork you will be fine with it. The pizza is NY style in that it is thin and chewy. I think it could use a bit more sauce but it's tasty nonetheless. My husband got the cheese pizza and he enjoyed it but not nearly as much as me (though he doesn't love sourdough like I do). The service is great and I love the adorable cat mascot for the pizza. They hand draw on each pizza box and each one is unique, which is cool. If you look out the window you'll see they 'graffitied' a graffiti cat on the brick on the side of the building. Bon bons: 4/5 Drinking chocolate: 5/5 Pizza: 4/5 TLDR: delicious dark chocolate for drinking and eating; ethically sourced. Pizza pop up on weekends is good and has a cute cartoon cat mascot. Parking sucks, but that's just historic districts for you. I dream of the drinking chocolate and need to get it at least once a month. I definitely recommend both Potomac Chocolate and Graffiti Cat.

A gift from a colleague at work...the oatmeal cookie, otherwise labelled as the gOAt...WOW!…read more Cookies are not meant to be so decadent and awesome. I had the chocolate chip cookie previously, but the gOAT is now my favorite. The cookie was professionally wrapped individually with a sticker listing all ingredients - I actually read the sticker and was pleasantly surprised because there were no ingredients that I did not recognize, in other words, minimal artificial ingredients meaning that it's awesome.
