Vibe: Smells like heaven the second you walk in. Warm, sweet…read morebakery aroma. Staff were nice, friendly, and accommodating. Good energy. Food: Tried the chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie, and sweet potato cake. Cookies were FRESH. Soft, flavorful, exactly what you want. The sweet potato cake was moist and had great flavor overall, but part of it was burnt. I even asked for a specific piece to avoid that. Ended up eating most of it, but the burnt section was too much. Honestly, that whole cake probably should've been scrapped. Service/Timing: Friendly and helpful. No complaints there. Value: Good. $10(8 cookies and what I'd consider 1/4 slice of cake.Quality was mostly there, but the burnt cake keeps it from being top tier. Highlight Fresh Wrap-Up: Strong start overall. The cookies alone make it worth stopping by. Just tighten up quality control on the cakes and it's easily a 5-star experience.

I've been waiting on them to open for a few months now and just so happen to be driving by and they were open so I stopped. Now I wish I would have taken some pictures of the stores and what I got. But I will definitely take pictures as this will not be the only time I give them a try. I went kind of late so most of the items were not available. So I decided to try a cookie and cream cheese cake and a slice of sweet potato cake. I couldn't even wait to get him to try the cheesecake. It was so creamy and delicious! Lord I wish I would have bought (2) pieces! Sweet potato cake was moist and sweet just like a sweet potato pie would be. I can't wait to go back and try the banana pudding, strawberry cake, cupcakes, and more cheese cakes. Inside is really cute a lot of baby blue is the ambiance inside so very bright and inviting. Go check them out y'all!

I was able to place my order online and received a text message to confirm. The bakery is a home based business and was easy to find. Queen greeted me at the door and the cheesecake was beautifully decorated. Queen also included a written thank you card along with a chocolate-nice touch! The cheesecake had a layer of sweet cream cheese with cute little marshmallows and whipped cream on top of a layer of perfectly sweetened sweet potato. The crust was also an amazing graham cracker cookie! My family and friends devoured this cheesecake! Luckily I did manage did get a slice and it was just melt in your mouth awesomeness! I am so looking forward to trying out some other goodies. Queen offers cakes and cupcakes along with her wonderful cheesecakes. I think I started a new holiday tradition!

They share an ordering counter and ordering kiosk with Kotaco. Online order at https://www.thespotdmv.online My wife and I decided to get some ice cream. When you buy ice cream, you get 4 choices with each: a base, a flavor, 2 toppings, and a syrup.  We tried the mango ice cream and the strawberry ice cream.    For the mango ice cream, I chose a cup as the base. The other base choices were waffle cone or egg waffle cone. There are 5 toppings to choose from. I picked oreo crumb and Kit Kat. I didn't want any syrup. The ice cream was smooth, creamy, mild in sweetness, and weak in mango flavor. The toppings were good in taste and texture! They helped give the ice cream some flavor.    For the strawberry ice cream, my wife chose a cup, Kit Kat, wafer stik [sic], and strawberry syrup. The wafer stik was like Piroulines. The strawberry flavor was good and strong, the sweetness was moderate, and it was creamy smooth with tiny bits of strawberry fruit. The toppings were good in taste and texture. This was very good overall!    The service was quick and polite. The kitchen area, dining room, and restrooms were clean. Their entire menu is in my posted photos. Parking is free and plentiful in the shopping center lot. The Metro subway Green line is within walking distance. The variety of desserts is not large. I wouldn't come here just for dessert. But, it's convenient if you're in the area. I heard from other Yelpers that the black sesame ice cream was very good. So, I'll return to give it a try when I'm nearby.

PJ's food is convenient I will say but the food and service is not good enough to charge people…read morealmost $7 for one coffee. I wanted to go to Pjs as an alternative to Starbucks but I can no longer. They are way too expensive. I also don't understand how they operate their drive through. You have to ask for everything. Forks, napkins, jelly, butter. I got a bagel which says it comes with cream cheese on the menu, I had to ask for the cream cheese and knife... & this has been several employees by the way. They all do it. Another time I got a biscuit with jelly. I had to ask 3 different questions thinking the server would get it. Can I have jelly...? received the jelly with no knife. Can I have a knife...? Received the knife with no napkins. Can I have napkins...? Any normal coffee shop gives you all of those things with a bag! They don't even give you bags! I spent $25 on a bagel, 1 medium chai latte, 1 medium caramel coffee, and a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, on top of that I had to ask for utensils and napkins. That was my last time going there. I go to a coffee shop to spend $7 max for a coffee and a treat, Pjs is not that place. They either think they're better quality than what they are or taking advantage of people. Either way I want no part of it anymore.

From the moment we walked in, we had a joyful and welcoming experience. Two gentlemen greeted us warmly, explained what PJ's is, walked us through the menu, and made us feel genuinely excited to be there. One of them mentioned it was his first day, and he still did an amazing job. The other gentleman light-skinned, with curly hair and glasses was also very pleasant and professional. We both ordered the Southern Pecan latte. I ordered mine iced with almond milk, and it was absolutely delicious, smooth, flavorful, and honestly tasted even better iced. My sister ordered the hot version, which just wasn't her cup of tea, likely due to the difference in temperature and flavor profile. She politely asked if it could be remade as an iced drink. Unfortunately, this is where the experience shifted. The employee who assisted her, Brittany, was very unwelcoming and unpleasant. There was no acknowledgment or explanation, she simply told my sister to leave the drink on the counter. After waiting about 10 minutes, we noticed the remade drink had been sitting on the counter with no name called, no signal, and no attempt to get our attention, even though there were only four customers in the store. I was seated with a clear view of the counter and still received no indication that the drink was ready. That interaction left a bad taste in our mouths as we exited the establishment. Front-of-house staff truly set the tone, and unfortunately, her energy did not reflect the warmth shown by the rest of the team. Overall, the coffee quality, atmosphere, and service from the two gentlemen were great, and we would absolutely return for their positive energy and hospitality. For reference, my order was placed under the name "Love" if management would like to review the transaction. Everything was great besides that one interaction.

My friend was looking for a breakfast place to go to and Milk and Honey was my first choice for…read morebreakfast in Camp Springs since it was close by. We were quickly seated and approached by our waitress who also-served as the bartender that afternoon. Because she was genuinely pleasant it made our dining experience inviting. The menu ranged from breakfast biscuits, fried green tomatoes, avocado, toast, etc. so it was hard to determine what to eat, because it was a tossup between cheesecake pancakes and the Biscoff chicken and waffles. Guess who won! With the other combination of soup sandwiches desserts inside you can never go wrong here at milk and honey. This is definitely a land of Milk and Honey! Don't take my advice ... check it out for yourself! Now that I know that this is a takeout diner this will be my first takeout Oh yeah Courtney was a gem of a hostess!

We were seated and had a wonderful waitress. She was attentive and quick. My wife and I ordered the honey glazed biscuits for an appetizers they were warm and buttery. The jam was a nice addition. Tasted like apple sauce. For an entree I ordered the shrimp and grits along with a biscoff waffle. My wife ordered the honey old bay wings along with a side of Mac and cheese. The shrimp and grits were much bigger than I expected. They give a good size portion of sausage and shrimp and the grits were seasoned well. I enjoyed this meal. I also ordered the biscoff waffle. It was ok to me but full of biscoff for sure. I could do without the soft sauce/fudge that was placed on the waffle. I forgot to take a picture. It was cool but not for me. My wife enjoyed her wings and Mac and cheese. Overall I'd come back as I enjoyed my experience here even with a large party of 20. On a Saturday night this place was far from busy. The food came out fairly quick and was hot. The service was nice which I loved.

Zero STARS... This…read moreplace is a complete scam. I ordered a birthday cake and even paid extra for faster shipping, and it still showed up three days late. By the time it arrived, the celebration was already over, so that was a waste. The cake itself was honestly embarrassing. It came damaged and smeared. On top of that, the packaging didn't look sanitary. It was wrapped in cheap cellophane like it came out of someone's basement kitchen, not a professional bakery. I reached out about a refund and got nothing. No response, no follow-up, nothing. Apparently once they have your money, customer service disappears. At this point, I guess I'll just go ahead and dispute it with my bank since that seems like the only way I'll ever see my money again. Funny how that works. :) If you're thinking about ordering from here, JUST DON'T. It's not worth the money, the time, or the disappointment.

Iverson Cookies/The Great Cookie has been a DC area staple for decades. It's been a while since…read moreI've been here, but it felt like a review is long overdue. So I took it upon myself to stop by & get some cookies for myself and my parents before I departed for IL a few weeks ago. The ever so popular cookie flavor there is the prized Snickerdoodle cookies. So, of course, I took it upon myself to order a few. I ordered about 8 cookies for $5 or $10 (apparently, they do not allow ordering by the half dozen nor dozen, but by the eights. Such as 8, 16, etc ). I was a bit judgy & hesitant because the cookies were almost razor thin, and I was used to thicker, regular sized cookies. But as soon as I took a bite, I was shook haha they were so moist, soft, and delightful. Crunchy exterior but the right amount of crunch that it doesn't take away from the softness/moisture. The right amount of sugar and cinnamon. I think what makes this different from other Snickerdoodle cookies is perhaps the thinness and (I THINK, I could be wrong) the possible shortening base. They were so good, I decided not to be selfish and go back in to order my parents some to try I will say since it's been a while since I've been to Iverson Cookies, I got a bit lost because I could not find an entrance point (I'll be honest: I forgot haha ). The entrance point is between Mama Lucia and Chipotle. If you have bad eye vision like me, you'll have to walk up closer to notice. On Yelp and the physical establishment, it's listed as "The Great Cookie." On Google Maps, it's listed as Iverson Cookies. There's plenty of parking. The best way to get there is to drive or Uber. I am unsure if one can Metro there.
