"Yum-Yum and then some" shoutout to Pro Cakes for making snack time cookie-licious !…read moreI ordered cookies and the strawberry cupcake for me, & my boys... and I'm sure if I allowed my boys to write the review they would give them 7-stars ( so you do the math ) The day I stopped in... their outside advertisement caught my eye ( which impressed me ) and their strawberry snickadoddle definitely didn't disappoint. And once I entered the establishment the young woman assisting me brought me up to speed on each tasty treat ( and I sent a lot of questions her way ) Actually I'm going to run it back this weekend... I'm sure that will get me some fist bumps from my boys !!! And let me shoutout Delicia for doing an amazing job with handling everything... she's the definition of delivering professional, friendly customer service with a smile !!!!!

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 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.

I've been for breakfast, which has generally been pretty good. The chicken and waffles are decent, although the chicken was a bit dry when I had it. I've also tried the Cajun pasta, which comes with a generous portion but could definitely use more seasoning and salt. One thing I will give them credit for is their fried green tomatoes! They are absolutely delicious and consistently a hit every single time I order them. On my most recent visit, I ordered the chef's special, which was the Cornish hen. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The hen was burnt and lacked flavor. Every now and then, I'd get a bite with a hint of sweetness, but the flavor was inconsistent, so I'm not really sure what they were going for. The greens weren't much better. They lacked seasoning and didn't have that vinegar flavor I typically enjoy in a good serving of greens. The dirty rice that was stuffed in the hen was delicious but was a very small portion. The presentation lacked as the burnt Cornish hen just sat on a bed of greens (that were chopped huge on my add) Service can also be hit or miss. Some visits have been better than others, so you never really know what you're going to get. With all that said, one thing Milk & Honey does have going for it is the atmosphere. The vibe is definitely there! I just wish the food matched it. I've given this place several chances, and while nothing has been outright terrible, the food has yet to really impress me. The fried green tomatoes, though? Those have never let me down!

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.

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.
