    Unicorn Cookies
    Molly K.

    Sunflower Bakery work with individuals with learning disabilities and helps them get accredited in pastry arts, and find careers. Their mission is so needed in this world, and as a bonus, they make amazing desserts! They have a vegan tab on their website so it is very clear what desserts have no dairy and eggs. My two favorite treats are their unicorn cookies and apricot crumb bars. Both do not last more than a few days at my home. Thanks for all you do Sunflower Bakery and keep it up!

    Chocolate filled hamantaschen
    Libby F.

    While I don't celebrate Purim, when these delicious treats are generally devoured, I do support this bakery that employs young adults with learning differences. Giving these individuals the training they need for a career in food services is paramount. I ordered a dozen chocolate filled hamantaschen. During this particular holiday season you can pick them up from the bakery, or pick them up from various drop off locations. I was sold when I discovered one of the drop offs was a mile from my home. These cookies are delicious. They're very buttery, and they were larger than I expected. I paid $14 for a dozen. They are cheaper, albeit smaller than Parkway Deli's version, but quite a good deal. They are kosher, and they do make a GF version that my neighbor buys for her daughter. When spring eventually springs, I plan to make a visit to their storefront location. It's a win-win indulgence in my book.

    six cupcakes with chocolate frosting and sprinkles
    Abegail A.

    I guess I'm in the minority here because I didn't enjoy the baked goods at Sunflower Bakery at all. The cupcakes had too much frosting for my liking and I found it to be rather waxy. Out of the cupcakes I tried, the vanilla with chocolate frosting was the best, but still jusy okay. The cookies were surprisingly not a hit at all in my household. They were super tiny and on the dry side. I do like the story behind Sunflower Bakery and applaud them for it. I'm hoping it was an off day in the shop, so will try them again in the future.

    Oatmeal cookie, gingerbread snap, sugar cookie and sugar cookie with sprinkles

    This is over of those hidden casual bakeries that you'll never regret visiting. Sunflower doesn't have a huge selection of options but everything that they have is amazing. Their sugar cookies and oatmeal cookies are some of the best I've ever had. BONUS: they're kosher for catering!

    Ask the Community - Sunflower Bakery

    The website says they are a dairy and nut free facility , but wanted to make sure since I did see some nut based sweets and they don't specify "dairy free" on each cake but specify if it's nut or gluten free. Is it dairy free?

    They have Nut Free labels on their products - easy to figure out 😀

    Wow! We loved it…read more Everything we got was really good. We like to pick out 4-5 things and then taste them and take them to go. Here, we got a few items, sat down and after we tasted them, got another 4 things and tasted those and wanted to get more. We didn't because that would be too much sugar (but nothing was overly sweet of course). I can't believe that it took me years to step in here. I've been sleeping on one of the best Asian bakeries . Don't hesitate to stop in and just try a few things. I can't imagine it being disappointing! Like other yelpers have said- they will come from VA to get their fix. That's no small compliment.... It's not easy to get here from VA... people from DC don't want to make the hike up! But if you pair a stop here with the Vietnamese Ba Le or Thai place Kimm In... pretty good! The Indian place and Vietnamese cafe in this plaza also look decent! The bakery is well ACed in the heat and it's clean and cute... not a huge bakery but it was really quite nice. Can't wait to come back!

    The cakes are good hence why I ordered several fruit sheet cakes for my wedding. I had asked if…read morethey could do a custom design (just the piping, no fruit on top) on their taro cake and they said they could try. They did not say they wouldn't be able to do it at all. If they couldnt, they should have said so clearly that it was a no. So imagine my surprise when I got the cake at my wedding and it was just one of their display taro cake design with the fruit on top. If you aren't able to do the design at all, it would be better to just tell me that you can't at all. I had bought the cake toppers and ribbons (which they said I would need to get and I did) to add to the cake but it looked weird with the fruit on it. We ended up not cutting the cake at all at my wedding but we passed out the regular sheet cake which our guests enjoyed. The regular cake and baked goods are fine - just don't ask for anything custom.

Also everytime I've went the wifi sucked or did not work at all. Which is a huge bummer but I digress... Large array of breads, cakes, and drinks. Some of the breads I ordered were a bit dry and not crazy. But still cute and worth the vibes. They have new branding for their drinks - their milk tea was pretty good. I heard their pancakes were really yummy. Will try that next.

    Teamania is an Asian inspired bakery tucked into a shopping plaza near the Twinbrook Metro stop…read more Unassuming from the outside, inside you'll find a large and enticing display of pastries, donuts, and other baked goods. Offerings range from a beef curry bun, croissants, Portuguese tarts, and artichoke spinach bread. My personal favorite was the peach cloud donut. A sugared brioche dough, fried and split open like a sandwich, stuffed with a marshmallowy whipped cream and perfectly ripe peach slices. In a word: divine. I went back more than once to have it again. The way you select your pastures is by grabbing a tray and personal set of tongs, going down the display line to select what you'd like. You then bring your selections to the register and can order coffee or tea at that time as well. There are non-pastry items you can order as well, including a bento box around lunch time and their signature cloud pancakes that take a while to make but come out looking incredibly airy. While you wouldn't necessarily make a whole trip to the area to seek out Teamania, if you're already in the area it's well worth your time.

There's seating inside, but the seating area is pretty small and some people were at tables looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. It was a nice morning, so we were able to grab an outside picnic table. The service was decent. One disappointment was when the counter person asked me if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, I said yes and asked if they had nondairy products. She said they had almond and soy. I asked for soy and she returned with my drink. When I went to pay, I saw they charged 79 cents for almond, soy and oatmilk. Ok. Here's the thing. I assume it's on the board and I should have looked, but she also could have mentioned it. Also, charging for these items when they put a little in your coffee leaves me feeling like I'm being abused for not being a dairy person. I get it - it's a pastry shop and the items are buttery and rich from cream. But please - 79 cents for a little soy milk? (I know this isn't uncommon for coffee shops, but it doesn't make it right.). And the coffee ($4.25) was decent - not great. I expected better (richer, more flavorful) coffee from a nice pastry shop like this. Anyway, it's a nice neighborhood place and there's a lot of treats there.

The person who took our order wasn't pleasant by any means, but I gave a tip anyway in case they were just overwhelmed and didn't feel like being welcoming. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating with some seating outdoors. The only issue with the environment is that there was a high whistle that filled the entire establishment. That inspired us to leave sooner than expected. Our greatest disappointment was to see that with all of their plastic cups that they did not have any recycling bins.

The food is made fresh. I know they are known for their souffle pancakes and desserts, but the dinner menu is also delicious. I have had the katsu sandwich and the curry. The sandwich was moist, hot, and had a great texture and flavor. The sauce they use also compliments the meat. The curry is a classic curry. The souffle pancakes are such a treat!! I have had the ube and strawberry flavor. I recommend the strawberry. The ube is good, but the icing on it can get a little overwhelming due to the sheer amount you get and I ended up scraping half of it off. Due to the way they are made to maintain the size and texture, they do have an eggier taste than normal pancakes. I personally enjoy it, but just fair warning if you are particularly sensitive to the taste of eggs. But, they do advertise it as a souffle pancake, so the egg taste is not surprising! This place is always busy and everything is made fresh. It is not fast food! Be prepared for around a 20-minute wait. There is an anime store to browse in the front, but that would be a little hard to do while waiting for your food because securing a seat is a bit of a rat race if you are alone. If you come in a group, have somebody secure a seat first.
