    Needed a little pick-me-up on a long day of walking around the city, this shop is a little out of the way from the monuments, but delicious anyways. We got an almond croissant - probably the best filling to an almond croissant I've had (and I've had many). We also got a Spanish latte - a mix of espresso, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and some cinnamon. It was amazing and I will be recreating it at home! The shop was super cute and had some tables/chairs to rest at. Staff was very nice and service was pretty quick even with a line.

    This is probably my most favorite neighborhood cafe. They always make their pastries from scratch, and their drinks are reliably good. I always am impressed by the selection. Indoors, the space is very clean and the chatter is always minimal. I see people working from here all the time. In addition, the quality of service is always friendly/good. Highly recommend folks to visit whenever they can!

    Spanish latte and quiche of the day

    I tried Pluma as part of a Hispanic Heritage Month content series I created and it was one of my favorite places I stumbled upon! It's feels a bit bigger inside than it looks from the outside and you can see (and smell) so many items being made fresh. They have a large assortment of breads, pastries, desserts, and even lunch options. I opted for the quiche of the day which had caramelized onions, ricotta, and squash (unexpected but delicious). At $5.50 it's relatively affordable and very filling. They had some seasonal coffee options like a vanilla cheesecake cold brew - yum! I decided on the Spanish latte which is made with a sweetened condensed milk syrup and cinnamon. It's easily one of my favorite lattes in DC. This place is perfect for a quick coffee run or a coffee date with your partner or friends!

    Busy on a Saturday morning. Good selection of staple coffees/teas. Very kind and hardworking staff. Tasty pastries!

    Spanish latte

    Super cute, pint-sized space in Union Market area. Friendly & efficient service. I looooved the iced Spanish latte. The breakfast Sammy's pork belly I found to be very gross (too fatty and not cooked enough,) but once I took it out the sandwich was great. Definitely want to come back and try more!

    Cold Brew || Chocolate Pistachio Croissant
    Ailun H.

    My friend and I stopped by Pluma before we grabbed dinner in the Union Market area last Saturday afternoon! The interior is minimal and spacious. The seating is mainly a long and wide table (good for co-working) that can fit 10+ people. It is a bit cold in there, but other than that, it was a nice spot to chill at for a couple hours. COLD BREW - 5.50 I don't remember the cold brew much, so it was probably average. It went well with the pastry I got, though. CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO CROISSANT - 6.75 This is one of their most popular pastries. The chocolate croissant was dusted with a layer of confetti sugar, and it contained a lightly whipped pistachio cream that wasn't too sweet. Overall, a more unique croissant, but if you're health conscious, I'm not sure if I'd recommend. Pluma is on the pricier side, but they're on the inKind app! So if you have inKind, the amount you end up paying is more reasonable.

    Chai

    I just have to share this. I asked for a chai with a splash of oat milk.. $7.70 was the price. This is a half full 12oz cup that is half full.. come on. It's a very small cup! At least fill the cup with chai concentrate. I won't be back, but this is hilariously wild that I walked out of there paying that much to get this. The additional star was only because the flavor was fine. Just do better.

    This is a cute little cafe. I came here to get a chai latte but unfortunately they were out. I decided on the cheesecake because it looked good - and it tasted just as good as it looked! It was creamy and very decadent, but crustless. I very much enjoyed it. The cashier was also incredibly friendly and kindly answered all the questions I had about some of the pastries. Hopefully when I return there is some chai available!

    Almond Croissant, delicious
    Aarti B.

    While there's pastry and baked goods galore, the Almond Croissant hit the spot! The croissant had a crispy shell with sweet frangipane almond custard cream. Excited to come back for more croissants!

    I've had Pluma croissants at work plenty of times and they are buttery flaky little pillows of deliciousness. Today I stopped in with a friend who loves bakeries and here's what I thought. - seems like a good spot to get work done if you work from home. It smells delicious in here and there's a long table with lots of space. A couple people were on their laptop so I'm assuming there's free WiFi. - service was fine, the associate was helpful and efficient. - you MUST try to this apple croissant pastry with caramel on it. It was a great pairing of sweet and salty. It was $6 - not too big of a fan of their chai, I'd go somewhere else Check it out when in the union market area and need a treat

    my friends and i had a great time working at pluma bakery!! such a cozy space and PHENOMENAL burnt basque cheesecake! seating is pretty limited on busy days

    Cappuccino- a taste of perfection
    Katie T.

    My husband and I usually do a "bakery tour" when we come to D.C. Pluma was on our list this last weekend and didn't disappoint!! Everything was absolutely amazing. The service was incredibly friendly, the atmosphere was inviting and it was lovely to watch the world go by as we ate our pastries and drank our coffee. We each got the "Sammy OG"; all I can say is WOW. That pork belly is a show-stopper. We also got the almond croissant, the chocolate pistachio croissant and a cappuccino, a Spanish coffee and a white mocha. Truly everything was delicious. We will for sure be back!

    Tuna Conserva Sandwich

    I had one of the best Tuna sandwiches ever at this place. The olive oil paste adds so much to the tuna. The cashiers/server was very helpful and provided top notch service. The place is very lowkey and quaint. Will be back again soon!

    Ran across this place while looking for the UPS store. I was in the mood for some sort of pastry…read moreso, I popped in. This is a very small bakery but, there were many ppl in line so I figured it would be pretty good. I went in for something sweet as it was about 8 in the morning but, there were scones, fresh out of the oven that I had to try. I got the cheddar and chive scones. OmG. So warm and good. Crisp edges and soft and fluffy everywhere else. I ate it in minutes. This would go amazing with a side of pasta. My goodness. 10 out of 10. When I am back in the area, I'll try a warm Blueberry scone.

    We were finally able to make it to Nino's after having it on our list for a long time. We went on a…read moreweekday somewhat after the morning rush, and even then it was still busy! We were lucky enough to snag some goodies and got a bit of everything, we just weren't patient enough to wait to photograph everything. We did the Za'atar Gruyère Croissant, chocolate croissant, the cheese biscuit item they had (don't remember exact name) and the sfogliatelle. I'm in search of the best croissant in DC, so I regret not getting the regular croissant on this visit, but the chocolate croissant gave me an idea of what to expect. Buttery, flaky, crispy, with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The typical chocolate croissant was my personal favorite. When we asked what the most popular items were, we were surprised it wasn't the more classic bakery items, but we enjoyed what we tried. We want to go back soon to try some other items as well. My friend got a coffee and also enjoyed that! This is the perfect place to stop by for a treat if you make it in time!

As someone who works in the industry and is very familiar with coffee and coffee shops, I was genuinely shocked by how rude and unprofessional the staff was. I ordered a house latte with an extra double shot, which made it a quad shot, and I also paid for extra ice and requested that it be served in a large cup. It wasn't a complicated order. When I saw a drink come up, I politely asked, "Is that mine by any chance?" The barista immediately told me to "hush" and said, "I'm not talking to you." I found that incredibly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. When my drink was finally handed to me, I simply asked if the quad shot had been added since I had paid extra for it. Instead of answering my question, the barista ignored me entirely, and another employee had to respond. The employee, Taleisha Young, who was wearing glasses, was especially rude throughout the interaction. No customer should be spoken to that way, especially when they're simply asking about an order they paid extra to customize. Customer service and professionalism should be a priority, and this experience fell far below that standard. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience on other review platforms as well. I hope management addresses the behavior of its staff so other customers don't have a similar experience.

Most recently went as a party of 4 and got the crab beignets, beef arepa, masa gnocci, and parillada for two. Crab beignets were our favorite - perfectly crispy and great flavor. Masa gnocci was a little overcooked this time but still yummy. Beef arepa is a classic dish to get at the royal; two people can easily share one arepa. Parillada was a hearty entree and probably best for 2-3 people. This amount of food altogether was just nice. We probably could have ordered one more thing to be extra full. I don't typically get Latin American food but love all the flavors at this restaurant. Next time will try their breakfast menu!

It had a beautiful chew with the classic burger toppings with an amazing pairing of their slaw with a garlicy aioli. The bun was very pillowy and soft with a nice crust. They also never lack on their specialty lattes. I got their carrot cake latte and it was just so fabulous. Extremely smooth espresso and perfectly steamed milk. Syrups made in house of course and you can tell. Just a perfect latte. I usually am an iced latte person but I recommend getting their lattes hot. Hits different.
