On a snowy winters day, I knew I needed a warm baked treat to keep me cozy. I typically come to Fine Sweet for their fresh lemonade but today I was swept away by their apple deserts and got both an apple danish and an apple strudel. Both were perfectly tasty and flaky. My friend got an assortment of cookies that all were heavenly and we enjoyed seeing their bakers in action behind the scenes. A staple and must-visit located within Eastern Market

It was really difficult to choose among all the tantalizing options in the display case! Finally went with a pineapple/blueberry muffin. Excellent choice! So often, muffins don't have much of the flavor they're supposed to, but this one definitely tasted of both flavors, was super moist, large and how I wished I could order several items to try! Only $3.00, a real bargain.

The cherry strudel was amazing - really yummy with big chunks of cherries, and it was huge. Great bargain for the price. The cannolis were a hit with friends and family. The black and white cookie was good too. The prices were pretty decent! Service was good. Definitely would return!

Fast service even with a line. I loved all the options but went for the cinnamon bun. If you're item is under $5 they charge you 25cents to use a credit card which seems fair. Everything looked tasty and I'll be back. I sat outside by the food trucks but there's tons of seating outdoors in the sun.

This was by far the most disappointing cupcake I have ever had in my life ! The cupcake was wasn't just the only thing for my one star but the customer service was also crappy. No greeting, no smile just you trying to figure out if your next and make your order. The cupcake tasted so fucking old so nasty my ten year old could make a better boxed cupcake and take over shop. This lemon cupcake tasted nothing like lemon, had a texture of weeks yes weeks plural weeks old texture. I'm not sure how they are open, none of the pastries looks all that appetizing but like it was made in someone's home kitchen. I'm not trying to bash so hard, but please go somewhere else. Better off going to Starbucks and getting a frozen pastry reheated. Complete disappointment

Fine Sweet Shoppe is the bakery inside historic Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. They sell cakes, cookies, ice cream, coffee, sandwiches and so many other items. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but here's what I recommend:1) Ice cream- it doesn't compare to nearby Jeni's, Captain Cookie or Moorenko's, but for the price and portion, it's perfect for kids. My toddler loves their strawberry ice cream.2) Cakes- their chocolate cake is pretty good! 3) Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies- they are small, but a good snack.If you can avoid it, don't order their chocolate croissant. Truly, it's the worst I've had in the city.

With so many decadent pastries and pies to choose from, I'm glad I bought the Caramel Apple Pie. It was fresh and baked that morning! Although it was a bit crumbly and loaded with crunchy walnuts, I enjoyed the apple filling. I wasn't a big fan of the Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie. I would skip it and save room for the pie! There are also a lot of great bakeries and cafes down the block and near Barrack's Row like Spring Mills Breads and Shouk. So if you're looking for a gourmet pastry, it's worth venturing out. Fine Sweets offers a larger variety and bulk quantity. It's great for grabbing a box of goodies to share and take home!

The cheese danish is a must try! I'm literally still thinking about it. Next time I'm in DC, will definitely be going out of my way to get it!

The owner, Jennifer G., rescued me one day when I needed something for a celebration. She wrapped up a small coconut cake in a study box with string, then double-bagged it (making sure it was balanced). When she's on the floor, expect good customer service.I enjoy their various muffins. The double chocolate is my fav, but pineapple-blueberry is also respectable.The big rack of day-old baked goods (off to the side) has some nice bargains.
