Everything I tried…read morewas so good, especially the cinnamon bun, which was honestly one of the best gluten-free cinnamon buns I've had. I also tried the vegan chocolate donut holes, chocolate chip cookie, lemon bar, and bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, and everything was delicious. I love that they're a dedicated 100% gluten-free bakery with vegan options too. If you think gluten-free means boring, Sweet Crimes will definitely change your mind. Highly recommend checking them out!

Call your mother was very popular on TT so I had to stop by before I got on the road…read more I ordered the Mountain View bagel and the cinna-bun latte. The way the cheese was melted was 10/10. It was gooey with every bite. They put a good of amount of avocado so I had avocado with every bite. They had simply mayo and I added that as I ate my bagel. The latte wasn't as sweet as the worker advised it would be. I wanted a sweet latte but it did have a strong cinnamon flavor I enjoyed. The drink was good, just wanted it a little sweeter. I added a packet of sugar and the drink was perfect. I sat outside in the shade since I had my pups with me. One of the workers came outside with pup cups that had a doggie treat in the cup. My babies were so happy. That was very sweet of the worker. I loved this spot because it's very cute inside and out. There were multiple people outside on the tables talking and eating. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and loved how they thought my babies. I will definitely be back when I come back to visit DC.

It's also a cool spot to work remote or taking a meeting. I hope the owner open more establishments in the future.

Stopped by Pluma while exploring the Wharf and really enjoyed the experience…read more The café itself is beautiful, minimalist, earthy, and thoughtfully designed. Even though we got our drinks and food to go, I couldn't help but admire the cute ceramics and overall aesthetic of the space. I ordered the lavender latte, which was good but didn't completely wow me. My husband and I also shared the bread pudding, and that was definitely the highlight. He gave it a 9/10, and I'd have to agree, it was delicious and the perfect treat to enjoy while walking around the pier. One thing to note is that prices are definitely on the higher side. I noticed the avocado toast was around $18, and while it looked nice, it didn't seem particularly special for the price. Overall, a very cute café with a great atmosphere and an excellent bread pudding. A lovely stop while visiting the Wharf.

The line was incredibly slow, latte was served hot, & food was mediocre. The interior is stunning, bright, & I felt transported to another country. I appreciated all the cute little trinkets that were for sale near the register. I'd probably give them one more visit in case my first one was an off day.

The coffee shop is beautiful, but it is very basic coffee. We were staying at The Thompson, and…read moremaman was a very short walk from the hotel. While the shop looks amazing, the coffee was extremely basic. I ordered an iced latte and I could not taste the espresso. The cinnamon Kouign-amann was extremely dry, as was the chocolate chip cookie. When you tried to break the cookie in half it essentially exploded into crumbs. They do have a lot of seating, but there were many single people taking up 4-person tables so it was difficult to find a place for 4 of us to sit. The staff wasn't unpleasant, but they also were not very friendly. They did keep the line moving as fast as they could. Again, the shop is beautiful and bright. The branding on their bags is adorable. Their cutlery is wrapped and there is washi tape with their name on it holding it together. Their drinks and food are served on very nice dishes. I just wish that the coffee and pastries tasted as good as everything looks.

One of the most affordable bakeries I've seen, and their constantly turning out sweets. A lot of…read morethe pastries you would see at this stall are more on the traditional, old school, seasonal side. Although DC might be known for a lot of highly specific and niche bakeries, this is a type of bakery where you go to get the classics, and just about anyone has a sentimental connection to one of their pastries. Flavors are not so experimental but the great impression they left was the nostalgia. Its such a delight to look at all their pies and cakes (and that they are still making them at a reasonable price), I opted to try their cannoli which had a crispy shattering shell with a not-to-sweet chilled ricotta filling. Our absolute favorite was their Rugelach, between chocolate and honey pecan, get both! The chocolate is on the dark side and pairs so well with the sweet almond of the dough. The honey pecan was such a decadent filling, intensely sweet and nutty, but in the best way possible.

For me it comes down to fresh breads, quality ingredients, thoughtful assembly and one of the most important for me ... balanced ratio of ingredients. Each time I've ordered, the ratio of ingredients has been what has thrown me off. The subs are large and the bread is fresh, but between the massive amounts of shredded lettuce and the thickness of the bread, the meat on my turkey sandwich gets swallowed alive to where I'm constantly opening it up to look for and re-adjust. The ingredients though do seem fresh, so it's not a matter of never trying other sandwiches in the future. I just haven't found one yet that would be worth a repeat...so it's not that there is not potential.

Even though it's a small operation, this pretzel shop truly brings joy to our community. They also offer delicious breakfast sandwiches, pretzel dogs, and various tea and coffee options. I was lucky to get all three of my pretzels from the oven. I especially like how the cinnamon sugar pretzel is topped with icing instead of dust--it's much easier to eat and still gives you that sweet, satisfying treat. The staff are quick and friendly. If they're baking a flavor, they'll let you know how long you'll need to wait for that fresh batch. There's plenty of seating, both inside and outside on picnic tables, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy.
