How did I know about this place? Delicious, moist and reasonably priced! No cruise ship required to get these rum cakes baked fresh! I'll be back! read more

do yourself a favor and get one of every flavor if possible. These rum cakes were absolutely amazing, moist decadent, and very flavorful. The service was top-notch. We were able to try before we bought anything. If you're a fan of rum raisin ice cream make sure you get it while you're there. Everyone that works. There was very nice and explained all of the options that were available and made everyone feel right at home. We were able to converse with an owner in able to find out more about the products and how these items are all made from scratch. No box cake here go get yourself a rump cake and if available try the tart you can thank me later. This visit made me feel like I was right in the heart of Jamaica while being here in the US the ambience was everything. read more

This is a family own business and you can tell how amazing the dessert are. Rum cake are about 6-7" for 5", they change up flavors every week I believe. For bigger size rum cake, you will need to put in an order, they told me it's possible to call in the morning and pick up in the afternoon- just be mindful in holiday and busy time. On top of rum cake, they also has home made ice cream. The ice cream is rich and on heavier side- so maybe heavy cream instead of regular milk? They have a lot of flavors to choose from. Also, they made banana pudding cupcake and that stuffs is divine!!!! It was so soft and moist, they have banana pudding in middle of the cupcake, banana pudding as whip cream ? I could finish a dozen by myself. You can definitely call and request order. They don't always have it every week. read more

First of all, my ground rules are that I write all my reviews based on my expectations going in. Walking out a gas station with sushi and giving it 5-stars does not mean I expect to get that same sushi at Nobu. Then said, this is a small, trendy and highly specialized rum cake, and ice cream shop. I had heard and read many raves about this establishment and its board of fare. If it was the owner who served me, she was wonderful and very accommodating. I picked out two different flavors of cake to take home and try. I can say that they were both tasty. For the price, and the nature of the business, I expected something more unique and unforgettable. I can't say that the cakes were any less memorable than many we have gotten from grocery store bakeries. If you're satisfaction is driven by supporting a small business and celebrating a unique product by all means patronize here. But I can't say that flavor and satisfaction lived up to the hype and the price. read more

I took my son and his girlfriend to check out Runulations after visiting eavesdrop brewery next-door. We were welcomed in like family. We got to try what felt like a dozen different flavors of ice cream and cake. They actually make the ice cream there and they have the coolest most delicious experimental flavors you've ever experienced. I had seen the owner on TikTok for a months and I'm so glad I finally went. If I could this AMAZING family business 10 stars, I would. read more

While this is a bakery, they also sell ice cream that they make (I think) on site. I tasted several free samples of the ice cream and they were all very good and I'm definitely getting some next time I come here but I really enjoy the snickerdoodle cookies and the butter caramel rum cake. It was excellent! The flavors were absolutely outstanding you will really enjoy the treats from this place . Also, not to mention customer service was absolutely outstanding as well . read more

5 Stars! If you're anywhere near Ruminations, do yourself a favor and stop in. Their rum cakes are hands-down the best in the area--rich, moist, and perfectly boozy without being overpowering. And don't even get me started on the ice cream--it's the ideal complement to the cake and just as crave-worthy on its own. The service was absolutely remarkable. The staff was warm, welcoming, and eager to let us sample everything (which we happily did!). They even surprised my mom with a special birthday cupcake and song during our visit, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. read more

When it comes to desserts I lean more towards pies, but the rum cakes at this black owned business made me reconsider my entire dessert list. I got to sample all the offerings and nearly bought every cake available. There definitely was no skimping on the rum or the flavors. My favorite was the pineapple and the amaretto. The ice cream was equally delicious. This was my first time tasting grape nut ice cream and this could be one of the main reasons I return. read more

We were at Eavesdrop Brewery when we spotted Rumalutions. We have never seen a rum cake shop and we were very curious. They were very generous with their samples and we got to try a variety of rum cakes, ice cream, and the chocolate chip cookie. Our favorite rum cakes are butter rum and caramel and irish cream pistachio.  We tried the saffron, ube cheesecake, and a rum flavored ice cream and they were all so delicious. Their ice cream is so creamy and flavorful. You can definitely taste the flavors.  We will definitely come back again when we visit our family. This place is definitely a hidden gem. You can't go wrong with any rum cakes or ice cream. read more

This has become the newest obsession in my family. Their rum cakes are delicious, and the people in the store are divine.

Sampled three varieties at the Sunday West End Farm Market (Alexandria); the Butter Rum & Caramel, Chocolate/Chocolate Chip, and White Velvet are amazing. Bought all three mini cakes. The packaging makes them easy to freeze as they're vacuum packed. Order in bulk and get a discount! These little cakes are so moist. Highly recommend this lovely bakery and can't wait to visit the storefront. I'm so grateful to have found them. read more

I really don't want to leave a 5-Star review because this place has always been one of the best kept secrets for me ice cream wise throughout the DC Metro Area. As a matter of fact, with the blueberry ice cream and cookies and cream alone, I would objectively put theirs ahead of everyone else's. I'll go even further to say outside of Mashti's, Carmela's and Diddy Riese in Los Angeles as well as a couple of spots in San Francisco and NYC, it's the best ice cream I ever had in the United States. I think the main reason why I decided to post a review is because I want to see them grow their ice cream selection to include more coffee and chocolate based ice cream flavors like a special way of serving Rocky Road or French Silk. With that in mind, something has to be said for their ice cream to leave that kind of an impression with me serving flavors that I traditionally would not consider my go-to flavors. I'm def impressed. read more

Delicious in house made rum cakes, ice cream and cookies. They also have samples. You will thank me later.

Rum cakes with ice cream is the perfect combo. I came in for the first time and asked for a recommendation from the lady that was working the counter. She was very friendly and let me sample different flavors of cakes. The rum cakes were very good. They were sweet, firm, and moist. It's a perfect combo if you top it off with some rum ice cream and caramel. I ended up buying a handful of flavors and they were all delicious The shop is small and clean. There is no seating inside. The customer service is excellent. I highly recommend you stop by and sample the butter rum and caramel rum cake. read more

My wife just happened to notice the sign while I was pumping gas at the Sheetz and checked the reviews on Yelp. Since it's rare for a place to have a 5 star rating, we decided to check it out... What a great decision! Delicious rum cakes. Delicious homemade ice cream + Outstanding customer service! We'll definitely be back to purchase a few more cakes that we didn't try this time around. read more

We've seen flyers for this place around Eavesdrop every time we visit and we finally decided to stop in. The shop is pretty small but very clean with a slightly bigger kitchen in the back. The woman who was working the front was very nice and welcoming. She asked if it was our first time in and we said yes. Without skipping a beat, she starting queuing up the samples. Every single rum cake and ice cream we tried was so good. Another friendly employee came from the kitchen and even gave us a sample of a strawberry cake (not on the menu) that was so delicious. I was thinking there was no way we were gonna buy more than one rum cake but we walked out with 4 of them (pineapple, butter rum & caramel, chocolate chocolate chip, and banana nut (I think?). Every single one was so good but I would say butter rum & caramel was my favorite. Super moist, great to share, and had a slight rum flavor without being overpowering. You should definitely come through as this place is worth the trip alone but also great after a visit to Eavesdrop. Next time I'm gonna ask about the Rum Cake Waffle with ice cream because that sounds crazy. read more

What can I say this place is just heaven...everything we had was just out of this world. We loved it so much that we took a few of our favorites home with us Rum Raisin and Banana ice cream. All the cakes are on point can't go wrong with it them. read more

Can hardly wait to go back! First of all, their customer service is top tier! We tasted several samples before deciding on which cakes and ice cream to select. Secondly, we are Jamaican and the ice cream flavors are rum authentic and then some. And finally, it was my mother's birthday. They surprised us with a candle lit birthday dessert with happy birthday music playing in the background. How sweet and thoughtful! All the best. Irie. read more

I have tasted their rum cakes on several occasions. Mainly at wine festivals. I can't tell you how good these cakes are! Packed with flavor and rum! I was recently looking to purchase one for a friends holiday party. I got the double chocolate one, and I promise you it was a hit. People went back for seconds and thirds. When I ordered it, I was able to meet the person at Fair Oaks Mall and pick it up. They were professional. nice, and on time. The cake was nicely air sealed with a sturdy bottom which made it feel safe and secure enough to carry around without fear of it messing up. I'm not too familiar with places around the DMV to purchase rum cakes at will, but without a doubt, Rumalutions deserves the title of DMV Rum cakes! read more

The best and most moist, bites of deliciousness you will find in a rum cake outside Jamaica, hands down! Those Tortuga rum cakes I would purchase as gifts pale in comparison. Matter of fact, if you were thinking about buying any other rum cake try Rumalutions first, you will forget all the others. I first found out about Rumalutions from a company I worked for. They ordered a variety of the 2 ounce rum cakes by the boatload. Fast forward, a few years later I'm applying for a new job and my partner mentioned he missed the bite sized rum cakes I used to bring home. I started searching online for Rumalations and spoke to the owner, who told me he would be at the Vienna (Beulah Street) farmers market on Sunday. I've been to this farmers market every weekend since. Last weekend he mentioned he would have ice cream too. I literally ran six miles this morning so I wouldn't feel guilty about eating rum cake and rum ice cream, lol. Today he had mango rum cake with chunks of mango in it. I've already eaten half of one on the way home. He didn't have ice cream, so I got three mango rum cakes, lol. Also, the white velvet and amaretto rum cakes are delicious too. I like purchasing the 4oz cakes ($6) because I like to indulge in the variety of flavors available. Next week he's suppose to have ice cream, possibly mango cheesecake rum ice cream. These rum cakes are addicting. I really need to add them as a line item in my budget. Not only are they ridiculous delicious, I overheard him telling a customer that the cakes can last for a year if frozen. I don't recall how long they will last when refrigerated, I'm sure a few months. read more

This place is MAGIC! I don't 100% know what kind of sorcery they mix into the batter for their rum cakes, but I am under their spell! What's a diet even?! The family that runs this place is so so so nice. He made sure I liked every flavor I bought, even though I personally was already sure about them! He insisted that I try the samples, and was just so kind - he made my short time in the store a whole EXPERIENCE! The butter rum and caramel rum cake is so warm and rich, like a giant comfort hug. The pineapple was so perfectly balanced, moist and just the right amount of pineapple. I also snagged an amaretto and coconut cake to go. They're individually packaged (and packed super well), and will last for a long time in the fridge (even longer in the freezer)! It's right around the corner (like a handful of steps away) from Eavesdrop Brewery. I saw them the first time I visited the brewery, and said "I'll grab something on my way out!" I was all sorts of sad that my timing was off and I missed them. I'm so glad I stopped by beforehand this time! They also have ice cream! The caramel bourbon ice cream is so amazing, that I'm still thinking about it nearly an hour later. They make everything, even down to the delicious caramel sauce. Also, the rum cake waffle with ice cream is so good, I'm angry I can't have it every morning for breakfast to start my day. Long story short: Did I need four rum cakes? No. Do I wish I got more? Yes. Should you give them a try? Absolutely. read more
