Bakery crafting pies, cookies, cupcakes & other goodies, plus vegan choices in snug surrounds.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The sign says “Bakes,” but I say “Bliss,”
A gingerbread witch blew me a kiss!
The cupcakes are spooks, the muffins are mummies,
With icing-spun webs and sweet, sticky tummies.
A pumpkin-spice ghost, a cinnamon fright,
They bake all the magic, both day and through night.
So five stars I give, with a cackle and cheer,
Best Halloween treats of the whole wicked year!

I’ve noticed that sometimes the cupcakes (with a vanilla base) taste really off, not the frosting the actual cake part taste like they added way too much baking soda (I am a baker so I know it’s baking soda). I don’t notice this with the chocolate or red velvet base cupcakes. My parents got my birthday 23rd birthday cake from here (vanilla frosting vanilla cake) and I was so excited, just for the whole thing to taste like someone dumped a few tbsp too many into the batter. I was so disappointed, the cake was beautiful and the icing was so good but the cake part tasted awful, I had one slice and ended up throwing the rest of the cake away. My family who also tried the cake noticed the off bitter flavor as well. This is really frustrating as vegan items are obviously more expensive than regular items, just for it to taste like something’s seriously wrong with it. I thought it might’ve been just that batch..maybe they struggle with the vegan cakes because they’re larger? but no I’ve gotten multiple cupcakes since that have that baking soda flavor. I’m really starting to wonder if anyone’s actually tasting the vegan cupcakes before putting them out. I really really wish they would fix this because when the cupcakes are made correctly they’re amazing but it’s like Russian roulette, I no longer trust them enough for birthday cakes and celebrations and I really hope they fix this problem. It was not a one off thing it’s been continuous.

I had an amazing experience. The cakes were mouthwatering, the flavors were incredible, and the customer service was top-notch. I interacted with Andrea at the front desk, and she was extremely kind and helpful, resolving my issue without any hassle.

The atmosphere and service were great! Also nestled in a cute part of town. I think I would have loved if this place had a bathroom. There are so many drink options and you have the ability to sit-in and enjoy your treats/ drink, but without a bathroom, it’s difficult to give this place a 5 star review. I also wish the gf items would have been clearly separated like the vegan ones were. I felt like I had to struggle to find the items they had since it didn’t match the menu online. But super grateful they had something gf to offer. I’d love a gf biscuit/ scone to add to what you already offer + more macron flavors.

The place was neat and looks cozy. They have only indoor sittings and mostly people stop-by for takeout than dining in. Staff were eager to help and really help to provide recommendations for your likings.
We had their ice cream which is the cookie vanilla sandwich and the Macaron Red Velvet ice cream. For sweet tooth go for the cookies for the mid sweet, go for the macaron. The combination was so good!
We will surely go back to this place!

Bakeshop is such a fun and cozy spot! The desserts are always fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious — you can taste the quality in every bite. The cookies and cupcakes are especially amazing! The coffee pairs perfectly, and the staff are super friendly and laid-back. It’s the perfect place to grab a treat, chill with friends, or just make your day a little sweeter.

When I write reviews they are usually either 1 or 5 stars. I don’t often feel the need to leave a middle tier review. I’ve ordered coffee a few times from this place and something usually feels a bit off. Either from the customer service or the coffee quality. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I recently got a mocha coffee and was very displeased with the taste and quality. I’m not saying I’ll never come back, but I won’t go if there’s an alternative. I’m sure the employees work very hard and maybe I just got unlucky.

Delightful little bakery with cute vibes and a phenomenal selection of treats. I first fell in love with the Georgetown location of Bakeshop for its variety of vegan and gluten-free items, and the Clarendon spot is no different. They offer a ton of standard, vegan, or gluten-free cookies, cupcakes, and cakes; each one is as delicious as the next.
However, if you’re in the mood for something savory (and distinctly non-vegan), their breakfast sandwiches are also delightful. I passed the Clarendon Bakeshop location on my way to the metro station on a Friday morning and decided to stop to treat myself to a nice, warm breakfast. I got their everything croissant — which is perfectly flaky and comes studded with plenty of everything bagel seasoning — and added a scrambled egg and slice of cheese. The egg was perfectly soft and fluffy, and the melted cheese helped to bind the whole thing together. You usually have to wait for a few minutes for the breakfast sandwiches, but the space is nice and cozy, and it’s a good opportunity to peruse their pastry selections.

I’ve been a loyal Bakeshop customer for years as I love their banana pudding and breakfast sandwiches. When it was time to choose a cake for our wedding, I looked into the fancy wedding cake bakeries and the economical grocery store sheet cake options. But in my heart, I knew I wanted a Bakeshop cake. The 8 in 3 layer Neapolitan cake was so delicious and picturesque as our cutting cake. Our guests also enjoyed the chocolate cake and carrot cake. We got so many compliments on how amazing our cakes were all night. We love you, Bakeshop!
