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!

In terms of drinks, I tried the lavender latte and the tiramisu latte which were delicious and served me well when I needed an evening pick-me-up. And I am pretty sure every macaroon is delicious so you really can't go wrong with the flavors you choose. On separate occasions, I ended up sampling a variety of flavors, including birthday cake, hazelnut pistachio, Earl Grey, coconut, rose, blueberry lavender, and coffee. I truly appreciated how fresh and light each taste was, perfectly reflecting the artistry in the making of these macarons. The service was efficient and friendly, and the display case was a feast for the eyes--full of stunning, mouthwatering desserts. I hope everyone has as wonderful an experience as I did, enjoying both the coffee and the patisserie. Happy desserting to all!

From the beginning, their team was incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the planning process. The tasting experience was a highlight as well--everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful as we talked through options and designs! On the wedding day, the cake exceeded anything we could have imagined. The attention to detail in the decorating was stunning--truly beautiful and exactly aligned with what we had envisioned, if not better. And just as important, it tasted amazing. We're so grateful to the Heidelberg team for making such an important part of our day both stress-free and memorable. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a wedding cake that delivers on both design and flavor. Thank you to Wolfgang & team for being apart of our day!

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?!

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.

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.

There is also a menu that is special for the weekends. I ordered a regular matcha and it was made just right.

Owner clarified that…read moreremodeling is underway and will include seating; I didn't realize that was part of the renovation, so I should not scrutinize it so harshly. I also realize that my own sensitivity to sweetness is biased, so I won't critique the Habibi latte so harshly. Primary issue with the AI signage remains. Will be back in soon; still very much recommend Detour to others!* Stopped in while running some morning errands after realizing I forgot to eat breakfast; have been a few times previously, first time I decided to review. The food was honestly solid. Ordered the Magician breakfast sandwich as well as the Habibi Latte. The Magician was solid; balanced and hearty without being too dense; the pupusa bun is an intriguing touch; suppose the name "magician" refers to how quickly it disappears, but I could be wrong, haha! The Habibi latte was decent; a little too heavy on the ice, but the flavor profile including dates, cinnamon and cardamom was robust, and evoked the flavors of a Yemeni coffee shop. My biggest issue, one that warrant a full two stars off, is the ambiance. Namely the furnishings as well as the use of AI . While most of the dining room is eclectic and inviting, the furniture, namely the chairs and benches, are deteriorating and visibly withering. I forgot to take a photo, but imaging leather chairs and vinyl seat cushions scaling, chipping and disintegrating beneath you. Past reviews going back a couple years have pointed this out with increasing frequency; I highly encourage the ownership to take notice of this. Moreover, there are a number of visually-obvious AI generated posters throughout the shop, and that also seems to indicate a level of increasing carelessness as well. Overall, not bad, but I am worried about the trajectory of the shop from the lack of investment in dining room infrastructure and promotional materials.
