Starting Monday, August 30th and ending a week later, Bakeshop will be closed for a much needed summer vacation. We will be back to business starting Tuesday, September 7. Seeya!
I have set up the website to accept online orders for cupcakes again. Online ordering is only available for cupcake pickup orders at this point. You can order as soon as a day ahead and let us know when you’d like to collect your cupcakes, they’ll be here waiting for you. Check it out.
We are closed for maintenance on Tuesday, our air conditioner is being fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I had to choose the official coffee of Bakeshop, a decision I took very seriously. As a result of perfect timing my friend, Nick Cho of Murky Coffee, has started his roasting company Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters. Trish and Nick are connoisseurs and cool people, I’m glad to have their coffee in the shop.

Construction has finally wrapped up. I am running the kitchen in for a lil’ bit and then doors will open. If you are walking by, stop in and say hello.
A little late and way over-budget, Bakeshop is almost built. Stop by and check it out! Entering the home stretch at last!
Plumbing and electricity is going in the shop. Things are taking longer than expected but I’m on it! In the meantime you can still stop by Chinatown Coffee Company for a Bakeshop cupcake.
Bakeshop cupcakes are back in DC at last! Individually for sale at Chinatown Coffee Company, the new shop run by Nick Cho. This place is on point just like you’d expect.

I’ve been trying to perfect an almond cake that is light and fluffy and at the same time isn’t too almond-y… got it! Amazing with a black coffee!
After years of looking for the perfect spot, I’ve found it at last! Located in Clarendon, it will be a cool little bakery.
Doors open this spring!
Pictures coming soon.

Bakeshop is up and running. Orders are being taken for this week.
Murky Coffee will be getting a fresh batch of cupcakes tomorrow.
I return from New England with many inspirations. I visited many small farms and brought back great local ingredients. This dark amber maple syrup needs to be made into a cake asap!
For a while I’ve been trying to perfect a hazelnut/nutella style frosting that is both chocolaty and hazelnutty. Finally got it! It has a nice smooth chocolate taste with an accent of hazelnuts. I toast hazelnut pieces and sprinkle on top. Euros are definitely going to like this one.
Now available: Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes. Fluffy white cupcakes topped with real strawberry buttercream. These are a really good summer snack. Stop by Murky Coffee Arlington and try one.
If you like Neapolitan ice cream, you will really like the Chocolate Cupcake with Strawberry Buttercream frosting. It’s the best parts of the Breyers three flavors ice cream without the vanilla, which is always eaten around and left for the scavengers. This is one of my favorites for sure.
The search for the perfect spot to open up Bakeshop continues. I’ve been looking almost 2 years for a place that I love, it needs to feel ‘just right’. The second floor above Murky Coffee Arlington is a very cool option that is being considered. That would be a killer combination. Capitol Hill peeps have been adamant about the need for a bakery. Definitely looking there. Thanks for all the leads people, keep ’em coming! Finding the right place is no joke, but I’m on it.
