I got a McLovin (Sasuage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit), a New Orleans style coffee, a slice of PB Nutella Pie, and two cookies: one Oreo in a blanket and the other a PB Cup in a Blanket (which are basically chocolate chip cookies with an Oreo and PB Cup inside of them). I've had the pie and coffee before and loved. But the other items are new. I'll start with the McLovin: it's incredible! All the flavors work together nicely. The buttermilk biscuit is nice and fluffy and the sausage is well seasoned and egg was cooked to perfection with some melty cheese! The PB Cup in and blanket was yummy too! A stagger advised I heat it ijnthe microwave for 10 seconds and it was so gooey! The Oreo in a Blanket was also great! I really enjoy Bakeshop and I'm so glad I live really close to one! I've been to the Vienna and Arlington locations and the staff for both are really nice! Quick service too!

Happy to report the taste was passed on to the baby, the almost 8 years old kid enjoys the same pastries. The breads are wonderful, especially if you appreciate dense and chewy breads. The holiday stollen is beautiful. As some other reviewers have noted, you have to enter the store to be able to understand what a massive operation it is. Something for everyone.

I came in here from a promotion I got in the mail, and I was blown away at this shops generosity!…read moreMy roommates and I are so excited to snack on their goods all week long. The store is conveniently located right off the main road, and they open super early, so you will be able to buy whatever baked goods you may need for any event that day. The employees are super helpful, and they have a bunch of stuff so you will be helped really fast. The store is organized really well, so you can navigate through pretty easily which I really appreciated. Nothing would prepare me for how big this storm was, it was a full scale production! Everything looked so amazing, but I'm especially excited for the cupcakes! They do a beautiful job with the presentation. Cannot recommend this store enough! Will definitely be coming back for events

Those French tarts with frangipane-all sublime! All the tea cookies were simply butter, sugar, a little flour-simple and delicious! And those fabulous individual pastries were jewel -like in flavor & in decoration. Anytime I would bring a box filled with PbR's jewels to a friend's home, office party or to my neighbors' block party; I WAS THE DESSERT STAR; deservedly, sharing the best with friends. Then a neighbor brought a PbR coconut cake with lemon curd to our block party and I could not finished my slice... thin cake layers, the "buttercream" was not very buttery but sweet & gritty, what lemon curd?! Nowhere to be found, sadly. The Randolph's retired and the new owners are not reading any of those wonderful recipes from the OGs - Chef Mark Randolph, Chef Cindy & their awesome kitchen team.

I got the egg and sausage cheese sandwich, the flavors baked in the sausage intrigued me. It has a kind of herbal and medicinal flavor lol it's a hefty sandwich I was so full going into lunch Matcha latte was okay, not as strong in matcha flavor as I prefer. Ham and cheese croissant has mustard in it so if you prefer a pure ham and cheese flavor then maybe pass on this!

Tattes are scattered about the DMV, but my first visit to one was here in Clarendon on a Saturday…read moreafternoon. Tatte was busy with just about every table taken. Ambience was lively. We were craving something sweet and dessert-like and many options were available here. The cherry pistachio cake and pecan rose bun were appealing and beautifully presented so we went for them. But how they actually turned out was a different matter. They tasted just fine but were incredibly dry. We were disappointed. I was curious about one thing, and that is if you're allowed to carry open containers of alcohol beverages in public places in Clarendon. I saw a sign just outside Tatte that said you had to walk in the crosswalk if you had alcohol.

Located right next to Big Buns, this European Bakery shop has a relaxing coffee shop atmosphere. The kind where if you work remotely you can work here most of the morning and enjoy the quiet ambiance. I usually get a sausage, egg and cheddar or a bacon, egg and cheddar. Though one time they messed up my order and gave me the Roggenart Signature (which is a bacon, egg and cheese with avocado... I'm allergic to avocado). But they corrected the error. Their lattes are also great! I prefer iced ones.

We would have loved one of the delicious looking pastries but we have many meals in front of us today. The staff was beyond helpful and accommodating.

The cake itself was really nothing special....honestly I had better cakes from supermarkets. Their salted caramel mocha didn't taste any salted caramel....just pure chocolate on the bottom. While I appreciate they have mini cakes for $12, which is great for 2-3ppl, their products did not impress me.

The lighting was dim and welcoming, and though it was connected to a large restaurant, it wasn't too loud of an atmosphere. I went with the 2 for 7 slidekick sliders, which was one heck of a deal. I got the steak and egg and the speciality of the month, which was egg white with ham and cheddar. For the price, the sandwiches were bigger than I expected, hot, and very tasty. The quality was great, and I only had to wait 10 minutes for my food. I highly recommend this spot, great for the price and quality of food! I will be back to try more, maybe sweets next time!

I'm back at favorite desserts in Rosslyn!…read more Biscoff Butter Éclair: My favorite pistachio one was sold out, which is a bit of a shame. This one perfectly captures the taste of Lotus Biscoff, especially the subtle bittersweet caramel. But as an éclair, it's still a bit too sweet. Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake: Absolutely perfect! The freshness and aroma of strawberries, the smoothness and creaminess of the cheesecake, bright and vibrant, and the cake itself is delicate and smooth.

There's a huge selection of breakfast…read morepastries, macarons, cookies, and lunch sandwiches, along with some made-to-order breakfast options like the Egg Mayo Sando and Soujok Egg Wrap. I ordered the pistachio latte, ham & cheese croissant, regular coffee, and a slice of carrot cake. The pistachio latte was very good, although a little on the sweet side. The carrot cake was a standout. The slice was huge, moist, and not overly sweet or heavy on the coconut. There were bits of toffee (I think!) around the outer frosting that added a delicious little crunch. The croissant itself was flaky and delicious, but the ham and cheese filling was pretty minimal. Good thing I wasn't too hungry! If you're looking for something more substantial, the lunch sandwiches they were putting out looked like they would do the trick. The interior is bright and spacious, with a high bar along the wall, several chairs, a high-top table, and smaller tables throughout. There's also a patio for nice-weather days. One thing to watch out for: some of the tables wobble. I discovered this the hard way when I accidentally spilled my wife's coffee just trying to sit down. Apparently, the table wanted to participate in breakfast too. The staff was friendly, and with so many options to choose from, there's definitely something for everyone. I'd happily come back to try more of their pastries and sandwiches. A great first visit with plenty of tasty options, though I'd like to see a little more ham and cheese in that croissant!

It almost seems like this place used to be an actual diner of some sorts. There is seating on the front patio with tons of plant life and decorations. There were quite a few people working in groups inside and the WiFi here seems to be fast. This cafe has a pretty full menu which features both breakfast and lunch options. There is also a menu that is special for the weekends. I ordered a regular matcha and it was made just right. I liked the comfortableness of the place and there is searing of all types, from couches to hard bench style seating. The front parking seemed to be limmited to less than 8 spaces. The vibe here is cool

My only gripe with this place is the parking situation. There aren't many spots in front of the cafe so it's best to walk.
