"My favorite dish at Weakness for Sweetness is the Jerk salmon with vegetables, plantains and "Bob Marley" rice. The salmon is always fresh and prepared exquisitely. The "Bob Marley" rice is Spanish style yellow rice with seasonings and chopped vegetables. The dish just works. Their jerk is not overly spicy and very flavorful. The curried dishes are worth a try as well. I am a roti addict, and here it is cooked just the way I like it. I still have yet to try their version of Jamaica's national dish, Ackee and salt fish. In most of the dishes you can see and definitely tastes the fresh spices like thyme, allspice, and peppers. They sale extra gravy/sauce like jerk or curry. Get the extra. Also, the Bob Marley rice is a must, even if peas and rice is your go-to. Just add the other rice dish as a side order to compare.The desserts push the stars up a notch. So many fresh baked cakes, breads, pies. The coco bread is so filling and pleasantly so. The red velvet cake has to be my favorite guilty pleasure. Pro tip- make sure to stop in on Jamaican Independence day and Bob Marley's birthday. They add specials to the menu that are outstanding. Lastly, the staff and owner are downright nice. They answer your questions and will let you know if your request can be accommodated, like more rice in lieu of plantains. Just a great place in Prince George's County to get Jamaican cuisine and scratch baked sweets."
"I love that this is my neighborhood bakery! And I really love the fact that they have something for everyone especially those people like me that have food allergies! Their gluten free carrot cake cupcakes are absolutely amazing! I get about 2 a week and when I was expecting let's just say I was there multiple times a week lol My daughter loves their red velvet cupcakes and cookies and cream cake pops. I've also tried the gluten free cheesecake and that was delicious too! The staff almost feel like family and the shop is small but mighty! Also an added bonus is their rewards system! I've had multiple free desserts and even money off of my tab.Be sure to try Sweet Eden's if you haven't already!"
"Today was my first time trying this bakery and we decided to try the cupcakes. They offer a nice assortment and come in a 4, 6, or 12 pack. We tried snickerdoodle, strawberry, strawberry crunch, strawberry shortcake, Oreo and red velvet. HONEYYYY!!! They were all delicious. The cake was moist and very flavorful and the icing was smooth whipped and airy. Just delicious cupcakes all together. My favorite as of right now is snickerdoodle but we'll see because I am going back tomorrow to try the other flavors. The service was very friendly and efficient."
"This establishment was mentioned in one of my Facebook groups, one of the members talked very highly about this place, so I had to try. While on my lunch break today, I took the liberty of trying out this cute little black owned bake shop. I purchased a strawberry crunch Bundt cake and one of their traditional cupcakes. When I say the Bundt cake was so light and airy, and not too sweet, OMG. I got a chance to chat with the owner, such a sweet lady, she does all the baking in house as well. I highly recommend if your ever on Read Street, please, please make it your justice to stop in and grab some yummy desserts. You will not be disappointed at all."

Lawd have mercy! I am beyond glad that I finally tried this place after noting that I would for a few years now. I ordered the jerk tilapia and I think that I made the perfect choice! Now before I get into depth of this review, I want to say that this isn't your typical no frills dried up Jamaican place. They are as authentic as it gets, and they put love into the food. You can feel this by the exchange that you get when you walk inside, the rich aroma in the air, and the magical taste of the food.Now, getting into the tilapia! Upon the first bite, my eyes lit up like a Christmas tree with new bulbs!!! The jerk was nice and spicy, and the fish was absolutely cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside, with moist white meat on the inside!!! The cabbage was nice and flavorful, and the plantains were nice and sweet with a touch of softness and crispiness at the same time! I also really appreciated the portion size, I ordered a dinner portion and there was enough food to last me two days. Deliciousness + generosity is a win in my books.The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars, is the time management. I called my order in and they told me it'd be 15 minutes, I get there and waited 30 more minutes for a total if 45 minutes until my food was ready.. I do know that my food was made with love and care, but it'd be nice to know this instead of being told an inaccurate time. They runnin on island time baby!Nevertheless I was very satisfied with my overall experience, and I will be back to try more dishes in the near future. I highly recommend this spot! Cheers to good eats!

I sent an inspirational photo of a cake - they responded quickly with an itemized quote. They created a beautiful cake that captured exactly what I was hoping for. The cake was a big hit visually and tasted great. BONUS! They had delicious vegan cupcakes in the shop. The shop was really clean and both people I encountered there were kind and friendly.

Definitely worth a visit. I order a Red Velvet Cake as a Christmas gift for a friend's special family Christmas dinner. The counter person ( I am assuming was the owner) was so very pleasant and helpful. She went over the various options and prices in detail and presented herself in a courteous, professional manner. The Cake was a big hit, it was enjoyed by everyone at the Christmas gathering. The unanimous comment was, it is so moist and delicious. I will definitely revisit soon. Thank you Cakes in the City

I'm so glad this place just opened up in Charles Center food court because they make some really cute, wonderful sweet treats! Today I got a red velvet cupcake, and it was delicious! The cake was moist and flavorful, topped with a smooth creamy Swiss butter meringue that was perfect and not too sweet. I also had the pleasure of meeting the really nice owner and operators Geno and Shawn. Besides cupcakes, they also make cookies, dessert in a jar, sliced cakes and whole cakes. I will definite go back again to try their other scrumptious cupcake flavors like turtle, pineapple, snickerdoodle and Oreo!

"My son brought home some cupcakes from Gino's Sweets and I had a strawberry and a birthday. Both cupcakes were fresh and moist. The icing was perfect because it wasn't super sweet. Haven't had cupcakes this fresh in a long time. Hope to visit the location soon to try some other flavors!"
"Stumbled into this bakery looking for something sweet to satisfy my pregnancy craving. I was more than happy with my crepe. It was light with just the right amount of Nutella and a generous portion of fruit. My husband who has a nut allergy got the Oreo cheesecake which was light and fantastic. The staff was very kind to go over the ingredients for his allergy and all was well. Would come again!"
"If a place can make a banana pudding so well that it imposes such carnal emotions upon the individual - that place deserves more than five stars.A banana pudding is one of the few dessert foods that I especially judge critically upon. For a dessert drawing heavily upon the quality of components to become the penultimate summation of creations, an unsuspecting bakery would crumble at the slightest oversight of presenting a food like this - not this bakery however. The Confetti Cake Bar has a level of detail that is remarkably optimistic and fresh to the Baltimore Bakery scene. Located on Monument St, it's location is an unsuspecting gem in a otherwise avoided area. The exterior is polished and well-kept, something that's truly admirable in this day. The interior is tastefully designed and modern, displaying their weekly rotation of desserts and pastries.My entourage were greeted at the entrance and immediately welcomed in. We were offered their lemonade slush samples, which were tantalizing and well-worth the return later on. The owner was kind and ensured everyone was satisfied with their choices - ensuring the highest of quality and attention to detail with their products.Although I can't speak further on the rest of the products, I do believe a well-crafted banana pudding is a major indication of a quality location. I will definitely be returning."
