Mount Desert Island Ice Cream

Ice cream shop

🫤 This is the closest ice cream shop to me and I've given it chance after chance, but their cookies and cream is little more than cream with the occasional cookie. I scrape and scrape hoping to find the "cookies" and all I find is vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, I usually have to doordash from Jenni...

Cretan Gyros LLC

Mediterranean restaurant

👍👍 This place is brand spanking new. It's cozy and quiet, not a lot of patrons but that'll change once more people get to try the food. Meat was flavorful and the tzatziki sauce was phenomenal. I got the gyro salad and the bowl it comes in is the size of a human head. This is a compliment! Baklava is a...

Sprinkles Georgetown

Bakery

🫤 Had the red velvet cupcake and was very disappointed. The cream cheese frosting was not tangy at all, just tasted like sugar and it was only the slightest hint of chocolate in the cake. Overall a bland, sugary cupcake that was definitely not worth $5. That being said, there was no line and the staf...

🫤 Visited the Georgetown area for brunch and had maman on my list of coffee shops to visit and was so excited to be able to grab a spot while there and the line was quick. Although the decor and pistachio chocolate croissant were great, the service sorely missed the mark. The common courtesy of a repl...

PAUL

Bakery

👍👍 I had a great experience at Paul Franklin. I was extremely excited about the diverse options of sandwiches, salads, pastries and more. I went on a double date there which was great. They have plenty of seating and space to get work done if you’re looking to study.

Möge Tee

Bubble tea store

👍 Along Wisconsin Avenue surrounded by a BBQ shop (Rocklands), historic stores (Pearson's Wine and Spirits) and Uyghur food (Eerkins) is a small tea shop selling a diverse menu of...well...tea. They have milk tea, fruit tea and even cheese foam tea. (What the what?) If you love tea, it's worth a vis...

PAUL

Bakery

👍👍 It’s heartbreaking to read some of these reviews that claim the food is bad, especially the quiche. We actually just came back east from a cross-country trip to LA. We stopped by this location because inside are many dining options, but as a previous reviewer mentioned: the smell emanating from this...

😐 Inviting space. Long lines. We were visiting and so thrilled to have checked this place out. I think we waited at least 40 mins in line and longer for drinks. There were barely any pastries left. The matcha was underwhelming.
