    I loved this place. I went for empanadas and grabbed some alfajores too. The place is immaculate and inviting. The guys at counter are flawless, professional and friendly. The food is amazing. Flavors, variety and portion size. Easy street parking, might be a short walk but not difficult to park. Overall a fantastic place. Ill visit every time I am in DC area!

    I thought the menu of small baked goods at this Argentinian shop was worth a shot. H Street is not the easiest area to park in, but I managed to get in and out reasonably quickly with a handful of interesting looking pastries and one savory item. I shared them with others, so I can only say secondhand that they were well-received. The other menu options for fresh food at this place didn't appeal to me and the menu was not huge, but I'm always happy to see something new.

    Awesome spot I stopped at while walking on H street. Cool interior with great empanadas. Service was very good and friendly. I got a pork empanada it was right and tender well session with fried onions. Pastry was nice and fluffy. Well cooked was very filling. I will definitely be back.

    Tango Bakery is a welcome addition to H Street NE. Open Wednesday-Friday from 7am to 5pm and 8am-5pm on weekends, it's a space that serves Latin American pastries to empanadas and coffee. Popping in on a Wednesday morning, here's my experience. 1) Food: The beef empanada and the ham and cheese one were good. My favorite is the beef with the green chimichurri sauce along the condiment bar. (There are three kinds of sauce. Be careful as the bottles are oily.) 2) Drinks: My dulce de leche latte was great! It comes with a large swirl of the leche to mix into the drink making it the right sweetness. 3) Service: The man behind the corner was friendly and attentive. Despite other customers, the wait wasn't long for my latte and empanadas warmed up. 4) Space: It's one room with different places to sit. It's a cozy spot to sit for awhile.

    I loved everything about this place. It's in a vibrant location. The ambiance makes you feel like you're in better homes and garden magazine. The service was great and friendly, we tried all of the empanadas and our favorite were the spinach, and the special which was corn and cheese. Can't go wrong with the ham and cheese empanadas either. I also got a Ferraro Rocher latte. Can't wait to come back and try all their other pastry goodies.

    Stuffed with spinach yumness!

    Came here for the empanadas and they did not disappoint. At $8 a pop, you're sure to get filled with 1, 2, and certainly 3. Service was kind, the cash register greeted in Spanish and continued speeding in Spanish which gave me a reason to practice mine! The space was nice, clean, comfy with just a wee touch of bougie to feel very like DC but not too much if that makes sense lol. Would come back again!

    We stopped by this spot on H Street while looking for a new local coffee shop to try -- it looked really cool and inviting! I ordered a mocha latte, but unfortunately, it was just okay. I was expecting something bolder and stronger, especially from a Latin-style coffee, but it didn't quite hit the mark. On the bright side, the beef empanadas were delicious! The service was good, and I'm glad to support a local business, but I was hoping for a better coffee experience overall.

    I recently stopped by this cafe on H Street because I was craving empanadas. These are Argentinian-style empanadas. I tried the beef and olive with the chimichurri dipping sauce as well as one of the pastries stuffed with pastry cream. I thought the empanada was nicely baked and generously filled. I got there late in the afternoon, so I think the chimichurri was just down to its dregs, but that's on me for coming so close to close! I enjoyed the sweet pastry - I've never had this style before, so I can't give any reference point for how it's supposed to be. It was softer and doughier than a croissant, and next time I'll be curious to try the membrillo filling or the flan. I would give the food a solid 3/5 on flavor, and I do think it's overpriced for what you get ($8 for 1 empanada is definitely on the high side), but the service was great and I really appreciated the recommendations! It was a cozy place to hang gout, talk, or work, and I think I'll definitely come back for a coffee and a pastry again. More of a 3.5, but rounding up because I really liked the comfortable coffee shop vibe, welcoming service, and wide range of options on the menu. I don't think I'd return for the empanadas, but overall I'm glad I stopped by!

    Food 9.5/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 9.5/10 This place is so lovely! As I walked in I was immediately greeted and offered a sample of the membrillo pastries and the medialunas, both of which were great. I went for the chicken empanada, which was large, the cream pastry, and an americano. All three were 17 dollars, which was a great price for their size and quality! The empanada was a 11/10 (I had it with the chimichurri) and the pastry was a 9/10! Everything was delicious, the staff was wonderful, and I learned that they only opened in April! I will definitely be back! The photo is of my half drunk Americano because everything was so delicious I already ate it! (The Americano was also excellent)

    Was excited to have pastries I grew up with. Found the ones here to be very expensive and pretty stale, unfortunately.

    I had one of those days where I went for a walk in an area I've been to many times before but never…read morestopping to notice all the little shops here and there. That's when I stumbled onto Sharbat. It's a rather quaint and cute Azerbaijani bakery and as I was window shopping all the cakes and baklavas, someone across the counter says "let me know if you have any questions" and I look up to see an angelic beautiful woman (this does not affect my rating haha) but I guess I wasn't expecting to see that. Anyway, she went through explaining various pastries and had a couple Turkish ones as well. I went with a pistachio baklava and a slice of honey cake. Honestly, I wanted to try all the cakes and even though they say honey cake is their most popular, there were a few that looked more appetizing. However, slightly convinced by the one other customer there eating her slice of honey cake, I decided to try it. I've only had honey cake once before so I won't act like I know what's best but that time the layers were thinner which I prefer but I like how it wasn't overly sweet despite it being honey forward. The baklava was one of the best, but I probably say that about most baklavas.

    Previously I wrote that Sharbat is a bakery for people who think they don't like baked goods. I was…read morewon over by the silky apricot cake. But still I shunned the baklava, my friends' favorite but at the very top of my list of pastries I could do without. I find it papery and drenched in syrup - way too sweet! But now I suggest that Sharbat is a bakery for people who think they don't like baklava. My friends finally persuaded me to try some, and oh man is it good. It's nothing like the baklava I know. Perhaps because it is made Azerbaijani style - at the eastern end of Turkish culinary reach. It is more cakey and less sweet. But still plenty sweet, with a nice nutty crunch. I don't know whether to kiss or curse my friends for turning me on to this, but now I know. And now so do you.

To say, I am disappointed in my experience here is an understatement. I don't normally write review, however, I want to warn others before they waste their money. I went with a friend to support local businesses. We were excited because the reviews were pretty solid. However, once we ordered, we were greatly disappointed. I ordered a Matcha Latte and the servers simply poured milk into a dirty worn out cafeteria plastic cup and dumped matcha powder in it without stirring or blending or adding any flavor. The picture shown below is after I mixed the powder into the milk more. My friend ordered a caramel frappe (not pictured) and the drink lacked caramel. It was simply blended milk and ice. The making of our drinks did not reflect a "cafe" style nor experience. Moreover, the food was below lackluster. The Northern Capital sandwich looked amazing in theory; however, I received one small piece of chicken on a large hoagie roll drenched in mayo with 3 pieces of spinach and a slice of avocado. In my opinion, the portions definitely did not match the price of the sandwich. Furthermore, my friend ordered the Steak & Cheese which came without cheese. After this, my friend and I did not drink the Latte and Frappe. We ate a small portion of the sandwiches to give the restaurant a fair chance, but we were beyond disgusted with the drinks. Therefore, we asked for a refund or the server to re-make them. To which the server laughed in our face with a nasty attitude replying, "Absolutely not!" I absolutely hate to leave a 1-star review on a local restaurant, but I could not go on without warning others to avoid the "cafe" portion of this place if you value your money. Fortunately, we went to a local restaurant nearby afterward to cleanse our palette and thoroughly enjoyed the service and food. More importantly, the prices were comparable to this place but they provided much larger portions and great service.

    No Thank you Apple…read morepie- dry, gooey and overly sweet filling that did not look hand made. The crumble top was terribly underdone with dry oats and no texture whatsoever to help save the filling at all. Crust was doughy and under cooked. Warming it would not have even helped at all. Brownie pie- I was so disappointed. I do not usually go for brownies, but the way the top of the pie looked pretty well baked I went for it super excitedly on first glance. Instant regret on the first bite. All I tasted was an overwhelming sweetness overload and then a shock of salt instead of balance. The worst part was, the center of the pie was all goop and the caramel infused into it almost made it worse. I hated the texture and I am not usually a texture person. I was super disappointed. I ate three bites, and it went to the trash. I was expecting at least a soft chewy brownie baked into pie crust, similar to a brownie cookie. Big let down. The pumpkin pie- had a weird sour after taste to it like the wrong type of milk was used when baking it. I wanted to love this one so badly, but got half way done eating it and just could not. This was very unfortunate, because the filling structure was perfect, but the filling itself was bland and sour. The crust was once again doughy and undercooked. No brown golden crust in sight. The pies were given to the 909 apartments on 11/25/25 as a way to celebrate Pie day. I really appreciate the small business effort. I love supporting them too. Honestly though, I am so glad those pie slices were free, because unfortunately, I would not waste my money buying from them unless they make some huge changes. All the crusts were undercooked and doughy, and I did not finish any of the pies entirely. I would add pictures but I was so disappointed, I did not bother taking any, and I am a foodie, so I usually take pictures of all my food dishes. Please I mean no harm. I am just giving my honest constructive feedback. I will see if I can add a google review with pictures. I am an honest reviewer and I believe having pictures helps people visually understand better sometimes too.

I'm a sucker for cherry pie, and these looked really yummy so I snatched one up on an impulse buy. And boy, I wasn't disappointed.

I can't believe I haven't seen Whisked! pies before, but now I know that wherever I see one, I'm definitely gonna pick one up. You should, too! These pies are fantastic.
