We were walking around town and wanted to make a quick stop to see what they had before heading home. There's a nice selection of flavors. We started with a small order: dark chocolate and peanut butter cupcake, chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes, and a chocolate cayenne crinkle cookie.

Everything was delicious. Now the cupcakes are a little smaller, but the flavors are spot on. The chocolate peanut butter had such a light and smooth frosting, a little peanut butter cream filling, and the cake is a nice balance as the dark chocolate isn't too sweet.

Cookie dough cupcake had a bit of the dough on the bottom, vanilla cake, and a denser frosting. Great textures.

The chocolate cayenne cookie is pretty large, the chocolate is just right, and you noticed a little warmth of flavor from the cayenne in the beginning and the slightest hint of heat on the backend.

Just got a dozen cupcakes and took a bite out of each. The flavors are forgettable. The cupcakes were all extremely dry, aside from the red velvet cupcake. The downside to the red velvet was that the icing was lack luster. The icing tasted only of cream cheese and nothing else. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

I'm really into cupcakes so I decided to check out this spot. I order three cupcakes red velvet, lemon and coconut. The red velvet was moist and the cream cheese frosting was nice a fluffy; the other two cupcakes were very very dry. I was so dissapointed because after eating the red velvet I thought the other two would be just as moist.  If I go back I would only order the red velvet.

27 Stores with the best cookies in Alexandria

Alexandria

After stopping nearby for coffee, we took a stop over to the shop to see what there was to try. Quite a varied selection of pastries and baked goods. I exercised some restraint and had the 9:30 cupcake and a slice of the French silk pie.

Cupcake: WOW! Rich, dark chocolate cake, perfect ganache topping and the interior cream was so good. The textures were all spot on and it wasn't overly sweet. The pie was also just what I was hoping for. The whipped topping is every-so-slightly sweetened, but it's light flavor balances the right chocolate filling. Chocolate crust was so good I wish I had more.

My project team ordered me cupcakes for my birthday. Since were in Alexandria we try to figure out what the best place for cupcakes in this area is. We ended up ordering buzz bakeshop. My team and I were not disappointed with these cupcakes. The icing was rich and the cake was moist. Definitely a solid combo between the two. If you’re ever in old town Alexandria you got try this place.

I drive by here often when visiting friends in Alexandria and have always wanted to try it. I stopped by here last week to pick up half a dozen cupcakes for one of my best friends' birthdays and it was such a wonderful experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful when I wasn't sure what I wanted to get. They have a nice variety of cupcake flavors and it was hard to just choose 6. I didn't get to taste them but my friend said they were delicious. I would recommend Buzz based on the great customer service alone! There's also a really convenient parking lot behind this little square that made the experience even less stressful

If you want a delicious ice cream for dessert, this is the best place to do that!

You can choose from the 29 flavors. 5 vegan flavors.

With size S, M & L cups and super fast service. Your ice cream is already in 2 minutes.

They can speak English and Spanish. This is a big advantage.

The are selling and deliver from the window since pandemic times. I really recommend the Casa Rosada (Pink House in English)

A hidden gem in Old Town! They have a flavors of gelato you have probably never seen before and you can try something new every time you visit (which will be once a week if you live close by.) I love the homey, made with love vibe you get when visiting. Definitely my favorite spot to recommend to anyone asking about a dessert place.

The ice cream is delicious! I ordered the pistachio and dulce de leche and I loved it.

What a cute place to go for a meal before/after sight seeing at the White House. They have many unique and common tea selections. The food are Asian inspired and not like what you commonly see in other restaurants. Their cookies also look quite scrumptious.

This place is great!! I highly recommend it. The food is very delicious, great location very convenient, friendly staff, it’s very quiet inside you can literally come here do your work and no disturbances. You can either sit on the first floor or 2nd to enjoy delicious food. If your looking for a parking garage, LAZ parking garage is 2 minutes driving $10 all day.

Teaism is serious about their tea. I haven't had a cup quite this good in some time. The kitchen is also very talented.

So glad I came by to get some dessert. I tried the carrot cake, decadence cake, bourbon chocolate cake, and Oreo cheesecake. All were good but decadence really stood out, must-try for chocolate lovers. I also tried the tiramisu chocolate truffle but that was just ok for me. It was a little harder than expected but can be due to cold weather.

My friend brought me here after brunch in Del Ray. The chocolates, cake, & macarons are FANTASTIC & I keep coming back for the welcoming, friendly, kind, attentive service from the shop owner & staff. 5/5 stars 🌟

Absolutely amazing. Me and my boyfriend stopped by looking for some hot chocolate after a long day and decided to give this place a shot. We were immediately greeted by the Owner in such a warm welcome. He proceeded to recommend items to us and had the best customer service. He was honestly probably the nicest person we have ever met! We will definitely be returning just for the service alone, not to mention the Hot chocolate and affogato we got was incredible !

Good ice cream! They only have the standard ice cream flavors but lots of topping selections and great sundaes and milkshakes! You’re able to get donuts inside here too from Just Fine Donuts. There are a few benches outside to sit on, however, Del Rey is a cute neighborhood to walk around in with some ice cream.

While the staff was pleasant, it’s hard to consider this a turtle sundae. For $8, I purchased vanilla ice cream as the toppings were severely lacking. Thank goodness I got cookies.

Pricey for serving size. 2 scoops for $5. Tiny ice cream scooper. Tried snicker doodle and ginger cookies. Honestly were just ok. Apple fritter looked good but didn’t try. Next time I’d get more for my money and buy a pint for $8 instead of single tiny scoops.

First time buying from this bakery. The cheese scone and croissant were pretty good, but we didn’t enjoy the bird bread that much. I guess people who like nutty texture might enjoy it more. I ordered mocha, and the staff told me that I couldn’t adjust the level of sweetness because they used chocolate milk to make the mocha, which was a bit weird for me. Would look forward to trying some other breads in the future since they actually look pretty good!

I really enjoy stopping by to buy bread when I'm in DC. It's great that they mill their own flour which is locally grown in some cases.

A dough made with lots of water and natural leaven will require intense heat to help the bread rise. This can cause a slightly burnt crust, which I like.

The reason for the 3 stars is that the bread can be inconsistent in terms of proofing or timing to be baked. This causes the dough to callapse creating pockets at the top of the bread and a dense more doughy bottom.

Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to give feedback if you don't live local, so they can work on remedying the problem.  I would hope for better at these prices.

I think the owner may be one of the best bread bakers anywhere, but he has other doing the baking now.

I will keep visiting Seylou Bakery, but next time ask they cut the loaf before buying. Hopefully they won't have a problem with my request.

Small local bakeries are all the hype nowadays, so I’d add Seylou to your list if you’re a fan of whole grain pastries and sourdough. I’m a croissant fiend, so I had to try their whole wheat almond croissant. Certainly one of the more unique croissants I’ve ever tried– if you’re expecting a flaky and buttery croissant, you won’t find it here. If you’re looking for a seemingly healthier and heartier croissant, then Seylou is for you. They could have done a better job with the frangipane filling.

I also tried their savory monkey bread with spicy peppers and enjoyed the light sourdough flavor.

I don't often order shrimp but this looked tasty and was perhaps the most perfectly cooked shrimp i have ever had. The vegetable sides are all delectable and the sauces are yummy. We will be eating here again for sure. I am not a huge fan of the "bowel" fad but Rasa was terrific.

Chipotle style Indian restaurant. Food was very good and I loved the concept. I ordered the chef curated dish, tikka chance on me. You can also create your own with your own choices. Homemade juices were good too. I would really recommend this place.

Rasa is a fun hip fast casual restaurant with a great location! The staff always extremely friendly and helpful and they have some fun twists on traditional rice bowls (plus fun names that you can't help by smile when you say them!)
A mango lassi and "Open Sesame" is one of our go tos with lamb kebab (4 lb meatballs), peanut sesame, basmati, charred eggplant, cucumber cubes, pickled onions with mint cilantro chutney, mango coconut yogurt, and peanut sauce. Highly recommend
No here during covid times if the weather is nice they have a large garage style door that they slide open providing lots of air circulation and there's plenty of seating outside on the sidewalk with nice landscaping.
Update 2/21/22-revising stars to 4. Having visited atleast once a month for the past year I have noticed the portions have grown significantly smaller over time. This is disappointing but understand the price pressures they are facing. See photos below for comparison

Simply love love love the energy from the crew that worked tonight. I had a long work shift and crossing over from Springfield, VA just to make it in time and receive some warm cookies made the start of my workweek great. The vegan cookies are wonderful and so are the seasonal flavors. I enjoy my time here chatting with the other guests and workers. Definitely my go to spot for a late night sweet tooth. Keep up the great work!

Awful delivery service. Did not come when promised. Left cookies outside in dark street even as I buzzed him in and he had clear instructions. Just dumped them on sidewalk, with no warning or alert. The only reason I knew the cookies had come, was that I happened to walk into a room that had a view of the street at that moment and saw him coming along with the box. Otherwise they would’ve been out there for ages, with whichever rats, humans, or roaches happened to partake of them. Took very long time to get cookies a few blocks. They had been promised “on the way”, ages earlier. Why lie???? I’m a few blocks away from store.

First visit. I learned about this establishment on a news report and decided to venture out and give it a try after hearing the rave reviews. Not really what I was expecting at all it looked less like a bakery and more like a cookie carryout. I believe I received warmed over cookies which is somewhat to be expected for the time of day however ive had and made better cookies than this. They have many flavor options. I chose pretty basic uncomplicated go to selections.  The dough was off. It wasn't buttery it wasn't crisp it tasted like it came from a store bought dough roll. My search will continue I might have better luck with an actual bakery.

this place is so cool! fun to be able to watch people make fresh bread. The pastries we fabulous. i would love to see a lemon scone. overall wonderful inside and out. cool market vibe inside too

Ordered online for pickup. It was easy and my order was ready quickly. This was around 9am on a Saturday. The croissants were buttery, flaky and delicious. It was bit smashed, but that didn't take away from the taste. I got the gravlox bagel. It was salty, savory and tangy. I had never been inside before so it would have been nice to know where the pickup orders were located.

It was my first time at Bread Furst, and I'm impressed. Their baguette is top notch, the second best baguette in the DMV area, which is a bold statement. We tried a few pastries that were also delicious. I love the open area and how you can see them making the baguettes from scratch - great experience. The only downside is that around noon, they had run out of multiple items that we wanted to try, and also several pastry items were not labeled (no name or description) so had to ask multiple times what each thing was (they weren't obvious items, or if they were, the flavor wasn't obvious). Other than that, the patio is pretty, but you unfortunately inhale car exhaust from the car wash that's adjacent to the cafe.

If I had the option to give 6 stars I would. Cannot express enough of how much I loved the experience. emphasis on the experience.
If you want to fine dine and enjoy flavorful food, this is the place to be. Every course is thoughtful, well planned and presented beautifully, and of course absolutely delicious.
Went with my partner here, it is perfect for a date night/celebration. A really cute and cozy place, staff is very friendly and courteous, and they make sure that you have a great time. Drinks are well made too, got the bartenders choice and was pleasantly surprised.
Bonus: Got a surprise when we were leaving too!

I would definitely come back here. Loved it!

It was good experience, but I can’t really understand how is this restaurant is 1star Michelin.
But since its only 100$ per person..
I understand

Awesome experience, amazing staff/friends, great drinks and food was excellent! You’re made to feel welcomed as soon as you walk in. Couldn’t ask for more in a dining experience. They even gave us a sweet parting gift that was such a nice gesture on our way out. Can’t wait to return to Little Pearl. Highly recommended.

Store is located near water front park, few seconds walk! Store features dairy, non-dairy ice creams. Our favorites butter pecan, strawberry cheesecake.

Came in to get an ice cream and tried to make eye contact with the manager multiple times while he was training an employee, but he wouldn’t stop talking with her to serve me ice cream so I just walked out

One of the many ice cream parlors in Old Towne Alexandria. Ben & Jerry's is a little harder to hind as it is on Union and not on one of the main thoroughfares. The ice cream is delicious and there are plenty of flavors to enjoy. For those looking for ice cream in a cone, the cones are made fresh on-site.

My Daughter Loved it!!! If you think it looks like it was designed in 20 minutes or less, that's because it was and it turned out Amazing!!! $25 for a Cookie Cake that I didn't know existed. My Baby girl loves snickerdoodles, and instead of a dozen for her birthday we got a whole cake. Thanks Captain Cookie staff members!!!

I stopped by for a late night snack but ended up picking up cookies for my family. I got an open faced ice cream sandwich(which I think is the way to go since the cookies aren’t really soft enough to bite through without swishing all the I cream out), ginger, oatmeal, double chocolate, chocolate chip, heath bar bits, and snickerdoodle. The favorites were double chocolate, ginger, and Heath. I wished the snickerdoodle had more cinnamon.

I have been a fan of captain cookie for a few years now. It's a bit hit or miss with the freshness of the cookies, but despite that, it is always a good deal for the pure amount of food you get. The ice cream is always creamy and delicious too.

Nice home made ice cream with 30+ flavors to choose. I tried the Mint Chocolate and the Orange Chocolate as a regular size (2 scoops). Both flavors were very good! There are a few tables and stools should you wish to sit and enjoy the Creamery. I’ll be back!

An amazing experience here! We had quality ice cream and even better customer service. I hope you stop by and receive the same level of care. Try the banana pudding and coffee Oreo ice cream!

After dinner I stopped here to grab something sweet. The coffee Oreo ice cream with hot fudge was delicious. The service was really pleasant and quick. It was a pretty late night on Saturday and I didn’t have to wait long at all. I’ll definitely be visiting again.
