Sweet block is this amazing place where you can get fresh fruit bowls or smoothies im pineapples or watermelons or just cups... but if I go I hav to get it intro fruit just for the look. They have an extensive menu of fruit based smoothies and bowls such as pina coladas and mangonadas and the customer service matches the energy that the drinks give! Every-time I go in there they are smiling and I go in with a lot of energy and they return it!

Mangonada and Coquito Frappe
Jackie C.

I ordered the mangonada but I forgot to say I wanted the chamoy off(I know, sue me). She replaced my order with my request without any issue. The mangoes were so fresh and the whole mangonada was tasty! I wished I got another one for home lol. The coquito frappe tasted so good! It was like a frozen horchata with whipped cream. It didn't last more than 4 minutes in the car. The ladies were sweet, and the area was clean. It felt like a cute hole in the wall spot. I couldn't gatekeep with this level of service.

12/10 !! I 100% LOVE their juices. Customer service is excellent! I have been at least once a month for the past few months, the remember who I am & what I like TOP TEIR. Definitely recommend !

Lime colada? It was delicious and I'm craving it now.
Tiffany L.

The atmosphere is a bit lacking but it's the only business like this in the area. We visited once because we were on a mangolada kick. For whatever reason, we didn't order a mangolada lol. Instead we ordered a lime coconut/colada drink which was absolutely delicious. It was lime-y but not sour, sweet but well balanced. The consistency was nice and creamy. My son loved the little umbrella hat. I'd definitely recommend this place for tropical tasty drinks.

If you want some authentic latino sweets this is the place to go! The mangonadas are to die for! Then the Esquite was good! Going to go whenever I have the chance!

Menu and my dessert
Wendy R.

Awesome desserts using high quality fruits, with a lovely presentation. As high or low calorie choices as you want, with savory and sweet options on the menu. Healthy by definition! And super friendly staff.

Recently visited The Charmery and was pleasantly surprised! I like when places have unique flavors…read moreand combos. I tried the Strawberry Matcha Milkshake. It's made with lavender matcha ice cream which was really tasty but more on the lavender side than matcha. I also tried the Takeout sundae if you like a salty sweet combo this is it. The staff was super nice and it was actually pretty quiet inside. A hidden gem in the area.

My favorite part is the creative ice cream flavors. Where else can you find cantaloupe or Old Bay ice cream? And they're delicious too! I went with friends on a quiet Thursday night. The interior is bright, spacious, and funky! I love the creative decorations. They had about 10 ice cream flavors available. I had to try a couple because they were so unique! Baklava, saffron, old bay, cantaloupe, and more! They had classics as well like chocolate and mint. A single scoop was $6 and was a good size. I got the baklava and WOW. I'm a huge baklava fan and this was incredible. I don't know how they mixed real, delicious chunks of baklava in the honey ice cream without it getting soggy or mushy, but they did and it was amazing! A friend got their dark chocolate and it might be the best chocolate ice cream I've ever had- I'm look at you Ben and Jerry! Some other nice touches- the spoons change color with different temperatures! So fun to watch your spoon change when it sits in the ice cream. They were also selling shirts to support the local elementary school. They have new flavors each season, so make sure you come in and try more! I can't wait to see what else they make!

They're located on Georgia right next to Denizens, and It's kind of in the cut and hard to see (well it was for me). If you're coming in from East-West Highway (pro tip: don't if you're driving, the parking there is restricted and they tow) you have to walk down stairs between the 1830 building and Denizens to find it. They allow one party in the building at a time. My boys and I went in and the young man immediately asked if we were just using the restroom or also getting ice cream-- I doubt they have public restrooms but I was on a trot after 3 hours out-- and when he realized we were getting ice cream, he didn't allow anyone in until we came out of the bathroom, ordered and left. Very safe. Their ice cream is clean, delicious, and their flavors are unique. I tried honey lavender and It was SOOO good until the very end ( I ate a bit of lavender and didn't taste anything else til I was done). The boys' strawberry ice cream was delicious and NOT pink- we avoid red dyes so this was exactly what we were looking for. The sugar cones are just the right size for the small children and they don't overstuff the cones a la Brusters and Ben and Jerry's. These are just right in size and price for kids. They didn't have a "kids cone" option per se (but I didn't ask) we just did a single scoop. That's one thing I'd like- a cake cone (smaller) with a kid sized scoop. As ir was, I got a scoop and a half helping the 3 year old finish. The 6 year old inhaled it in 2 minutes so it's just about right! Overall it's close to home, easy to get to once you know it's there and had great service plus AWESOME ice cream. I cannot wait to try the ginger, coconut, and wild blueberry! Lo

I recently picked up a small Lemon cake and a Strawberry cake from Morning My Day in Silver Spring…read more I was expecting a decent dessert; I wasn't expecting to be reminded that most other bakeries have been lying to us for years. The first bite was a bit of a shock to the system. It's one of those rare "Ratatouille moments" where a flavor profile manages to bridge the gap between Maryland and the legendary sponge cakes of Phoenix Bakery in LA. It's a bit of a trick, really--making something taste like a childhood memory without being cloying about it. The Breakdown: * The Sponge: It's exceptionally light. Biting into it is less like eating a dense dessert and more like biting into a sweetened, high-end pillow. It's airy, delicate, and possesses the kind of structural integrity that only a professional (or a wizard) could manage. * The Icing: A triumph of restraint. Instead of the usual sugary plaster one finds elsewhere, this is a light, white cream. It's sweet enough to let you know it's there, but it doesn't try to dominate the conversation. It's icing with a bit of dignity. * The Verdict: This is how cake ought to be. It's exquisite, technically brilliant, and far too easy to eat in a single sitting. If you appreciate a dessert that relies on craft rather than a massive dose of corn syrup, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's a legit bit of baking excellence right here in Silver Spring

I've stopped by this tiny bakery twice now! The first time I got a mochi and red bean bun, which…read morewas pretty good - soft bread with a comforting filling. The cheese and pork sung bun I had this last time didn't really have any flavor - normally pork sung is really flavorful, so I was surprised. It was also a bit dry. However, I like the space and the range of offerings. I don't know that I would get a bun again, but I'm very curious about the milk tea! Staff is very nice and the prices are reasonable. There isn't much seating, so plan to take your order to go.

We also got a double shot of espresso and the coffee was fresh and just perfect. Service was perfect and they asked all the necessary questions such as dairy restrictions and if we wanted any add ons. The venue is beautiful they have music lightly playing in the background and a lot of people come here to work from home so perfect place to come to catch up with your friends , relax or work.

Came here for the first time with a friend around 10:30am on a Saturday. I ordered their medium…read morechai latte (hot) with no sweetner, and a ham and cheese croissant sandwich with havarti cheese and avocado. Total came out to approximately $18. What's Hot - Quality. My egg and cheese croissant sandwich, which I ordered with havarti cheese and avocado was delicious. It was served warm. Everything was soft and tender. My sandwich was not overly salty, as well, which I appreciated. I was also surprised that my sandwich was served with fries. The fries were tasty, but too thin for my liking. My chai tea latte was also yummy, not too frothy, and not sweet, as I ordered no sweetener. - Menu. There appears to be something for everyone- coffee, non-caffeinated drinks, sweet baked good, savory baked goods, non-dairy options, and full meals. - Service. The time I waited for my order to be ready was fairly brief. Probably less than 10 minutes. My drink and food were ready separately and did not come together. They call out your name for your order, so make sure you are paying attention. - Price. For spending less than $20 on a meal, I would say it's pretty good value for money. My egg and cheese croissant sandwich was also substantive and not skimpy, which was good. - Layout. The inside has a pretty good space. There are counters with high stool seating, and a fair amount of tables and chair for regular seating, as well. - Location. Convenient, especially to other restaurants and shops. there is also parking in the area. However, be prepared to spend time and money on parking, depending on the day and time you come. What's Not - Service. It appears to be mostly self-service. After you enter their front entrance, there are two kiosks for self-service ordering. On the one hand, it's helpful if you know what you're ordering. On the other hand, if you have questions, their kiosks are not conducive for that. They have baked goods section, which appears to also be self-serve. However, I was uncertain how that actually worked, because I did not see an in-person cashier. - Layout. Depending on the size of your group, and day and time you come, seating can be difficult to come by. Most of their seating appears to be cramped, as well (i.e., many of their sit down tables and chairs are very close together). - Acoustics. They play music inside at a volume that is not very conducive for conversation. - Parking. There is parking in the area, but it can be difficult to find, depending on the day and time you come. On the day my friend and I were here, there was a lot of snow piled up, so finding street parking was very difficult. There are parking lots in the area, most of which are paid parking, so be mindful of the time you spend. There appears to be free parking in the area, but those are not easy to come by depending on the day and time. Final Answer Willing to come back, but probably not a first choice.

This place is worthy of its stars. I would rate it six stars if I could. The ice cream flavors are…read moreso delicious many are unique and are the perfect blend of creamy and sweet without being overly sweet. That being said as delicious as the ice cream is, the real star of the show is the gentleman working there. I didn't catch his name, but I could just see how passionate he was about ice cream. It was a nice day so I figured I would mark the transition away from winter with ice cream and I hadn't been to this place in a while and this is going in my top three favorite ice cream places in the DMV area. Please be advised that their peach cobbler flavor is the most popular and for good reason so it might be sold out when you come.

I didn't have that much exposure to the staff working there, but they recalled having a positive experience with the staffer and got to try as many flavors as possible. Furthermore, I could recall there was alone a bench outdoors and there's limited standing room indoors. With such an extensive menu, it was tough to decide what flavors my friend and I wanted. Overall, the selection was great. The ice cream quality was A (not quite A+), but still pretty reasonable comparing the price for the flight too. I would get more ice cream in the future!
