This bakery is wonderful. Not only does everything taste good, but you can get it in a variety of allergy and vegan options. We loved all of it and this was a special treat for my niece because we were getting something from another place that did not have the vegan option we needed. I can say, because I sample, that everything I tasted was good! Parking can be funny because where it’s located, but if you’re patient and don’t mind walking across the street and being pleasantly surprised and overjoyed, it’s definitely worth it!

A delicious vegan bakery located across the street from a metro station and close to multiple bus stops. Has awesome seasonal options as well as savory treats.

We were searching for a bakery that offered vegan desserts for a very special book-launch event. Our son just launched a book, “Harmony and Light: 10 Meditations for a Peaceful and Purposeful Life,” that has a large focus on health and wellness, so, it was very important to us that the sweets be vegan and taste good! After sampling cupcakes at a few bakeries with vegan options, we decided on Sticky Fingers because of their wide selection of cupcake and cookie flavors and because their cupcakes were a good size (not too large and not too small).
We ordered three dozen assorted cupcakes and 20 assorted cookies, and we were very happy in the end becuase our guests loved all the treats! The cupcakes were moist and tasty and the cookies were delicious. All the treats were very attractive. Our guests were pleasantly surprised to learn that everything was vegan and nut-free because everything tasted so good. The service was personalized and polite. The bakery filled our order in one day and everything was ready on schedule and in time for our event. We would recommend Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats to others seeking tasty vegan, nut-free sweets, and we will certainly order from this bakery again.

I enjoyed what I got from sticky fingers. I love the rotating menus, making it exciting to come back and see what they have. I the inside is very small so it’s definitely a takeout spot. The staff is excellent friendly and welcoming making it an easy recommendation. I will definitely be returning soon.

We stopped by Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats in the morning, and while many of the cookies were already sold out, we were lucky enough to snag a Classic Oatmeal Cookie and a Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookie. Both were absolutely delicious! The oatmeal cookie was perfectly chewy, and the peppermint in the sandwich cookie was subtle and not overpowering—just the right balance.
My husband isn’t usually a fan of vegan treats, but even he loved his cookie, which says a lot!
Parking is definitely limited, but we managed to find a paid street spot right in front of the store. However, if you’d rather skip the hassle of parking, the location is super convenient—it’s right in front of a metro station and bus stop, making public transit an easy and stress-free option.
The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was cozy, and the treats were worth every bite.

Nice little sweet shop. The cupcakes abit dry not moist. But good thing, they have gluten-free options.

An attractive little shop offering a good number of vegan and gluten-free baked goods. Worth trying if you’re in the area. Located very near to Donut Run as well if you’re making a vegan pilgrimage to the area and have a sweet tooth!

Had the chance to check out Sticky Fingers recently, so here’s the scoop! First off, the spot was super easy to find, but parking? Yeah, a bit of a struggle. The moment I walked in, though, the smell hit me—so good! I decided to try the s’mores cookie, and while it tasted great, it was a little harder than I’d like. Still, the vibe of the place was cool enough to make me want to come back and try more. Oh, and their business card? It’s literally a cookie. Genius.

Do not go here. Stale baked goods and worse customer service. I was a regular customer for almost 10 years and due to my last experience I will never return and will no longer recommend this bakery. I ordered a cake for pick up and purchased cupcakes in store and they were very stale. I picked up the cake on Sunday, I called the bakery the next morning to get a refund and I was told the manager would call me back. I received no call back, so I left a voicemail later in the day. Still no call back so I left feedback via email the following day. Still no response. I called the bakery again on Thursday and was told I would get a call back before noon. I received a call back from the store owner, Doron, at 1:30 that day and was on the phone for 10 minutes because I was being questioned if I knew how vegan cakes were supposed to taste and that the cake was fresh. She asked for photos, I texted her photos. She still questioned me about how I served the cake to imply that it was my fault the cake and cupcakes were stale. She asked me to bring the cake in for a refund. I did, and was told by the manager Mel that the refund would be issued once Doron came in at 1pm. I even forwarded my receipt to Mel because they could not find my transaction. I texted the owner to let her know when I was coming in and when I dropped off the cake and received no response. Guess what? Still no refund. The name sticky fingers is fitting: they stole my money and refuse to give me a refund. Do not go here, they want to ignore customers to avoid confronting the fact they are selling old desserts.
Edit: After emailing the bakery again and sending another text to Doron I finally got a response. She argued with me through text stating that she issued a store credit that Friday, but sent me a screenshot showing that the email was sent the following Monday to the incorrect email address. Then stated she never agreed to refunding me. I told her that I had evidence proving the opposite. Then she said she would issue the refund once I removed this review which I declined to do. She eventually did issue the refund. Between calls, emails, and texts, I contacted the bakery 14 times and 9 days later the refund was issued.
I apologize for the long review but I felt a duty to warn others about this place.

My son has multiple food allergies, and for years he wasn’t able to enjoy cakes or cupcakes at birthday parties. It always made celebrations a little bittersweet.
Then I discovered Sticky Fingers Bakery a few years ago, and everything changed. Their GF Cookies N Cake cupcakes were the first cupcakes my son was ever able to enjoy safely—and he loved them! Since then, he’s been able to have birthday cakes and cupcakes that he can actually eat and enjoy, which has meant the world to us.
Now, whenever we attend a party, I always bring him a GF cupcake from Sticky Fingers so he can be part of the celebration. The quality, taste, and care they put into their baked goods are unmatched.
I’m so grateful for Sticky Fingers Bakery for giving my son the chance to fully enjoy the treats every kid should get to have. Highly recommend for anyone managing food allergies!
