Firehook Bakery - Washington DC

This was my first time stopping in, but had one of their cakes once which was incredible. Needed a cake for a special occasion. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The store is quaint and welcoming. I noticed all of the lunch items which I had no idea they offered anything besides bakery goods. Those selections looked fresh and fantastic. Wish I lived or worked closer to this spot. I would be in here all the time. I got a red velvet cake and it was so good, very light and not too sweet. I'm partial to the first cake I tried there which is called black forest I believe....it was choc layers with raspberry which was probably the best chocolate cake I've ever had. It was sold out. I'm betting that is a super popular item. Love this place. Cakes are a little pricey but they are very gourmet and worth it.

The food here is incredible, and the service is top notch every time! I come here for coffee and breakfast, but I've also ordered catered desserts. All around, the staff are helpful and extremely thorough. It's a lovely location to stop in for a bite, or to grab food to-go. Don't miss the croissants, or the key lime tart!

Soothing classical music, coffee and fresh baked goods, what's not to love? I had a really nice fresh bagel and a lovely , strong cup of coffee. My wife had a scrumptious baguette with veggies on it. Overall it was a fantastic way to start the day.

Great pastries and helpful staff. They don't have a consistent stock of baked goods (I came in one morning and they didn't have any butter croissants), but there's always something delicious to try. Don't skip the coffee! They make an excellent latte

This is on my list of go to places for cupcakes and cakes. This location is convenient for me from my place of work. The store has a good selection of cakes and cupcakes and I'm able to pick up a bunch in the afternoons too. Tho some flavors do run out by the afternoon. Among the various options we like the following: White Chocolate cake Red Velvet cupcakes Chocolate cupcakes Vanilla cupcakes Carrot cupcake is decent too Have to give the other varieties a try too.
