Btw, I didn't see anything mentioned about needing an appointment for a hearty meal, and man, I showed up last week only to find the doors locked tight. 🙄 Now I have to give them a call just to try and schedule something...

cookies are $27/lb, and cakes are $3.25 per slice if they have whipped cream on top, and $4.00 per slice if it's just plain. Same thing, call ahead for the cookies. If you're looking for those homemade-style cookies where every single one tastes exactly how it's supposed to, then they are definitely your best bet. I'm a total sweet tooth myself—I eat them and bake them too! The price is awesome because they're only $40/lb at Piece of cake, whereas at MM it's $37/lb, and this place is a little pricey. It's classic, honestly, once something gets popular they just hike up the prices!
You can't really sample their cakes there since they don't operate like a traditional bakery and don't have a storefront, but you can try their chocolate cakes over at the Hershey's chocolate bar or whatever it's called, at 15 Fifth Avenue (from the square towards Gundulić, on the left side, you can't miss it). They're sitting in a glass display case right in the middle, on the left side. You'll see for yourself that the labels say The Londoner, sljez 24, which is the Charlotte small house. There, they cost $5.00 per slice. I was there on Saturday and grabbed two slices of everything, and oh my god, I seriously can't decide which one was better!!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much, I seriously never would have tracked that down on my own!! But get this—we actually stopped by that small house bakery yesterday and I am totally obsessed, it was exactly what I was hunting for, and then we wandered over to Fifth Avenue to sample some cakes too and honestly, I couldn't decide because they were all so incredible, so we're definitely just going to grab theirs. Though I gotta say, that hearty option sounds absolutely amazing and looks delicious too!

mistygull12 said:So, we ended up overindulging quite a bit; we visited Sugar yesterday, and I honestly don't know if I can ever recover... my wife insisted on us trying everything, piling our plates with every single type of cookie she had available, two of each kind... goodness, I truly cannot decide which one was superior or more delicious, as they were all perfectly uniform, cut into identical little squares, and to top it all off, you even get some extra for free... I am still reeling from it, and it was the primary topic of conversation for us last night. On Monday, I have a meeting to finalize details for a crisis management seminar, while my cousin is planning her wedding, which is going to be $25 pounds, and the cakes there look absolutely wonderful too, at least based on the photos we saw... you really should try that specific combination, they are truly lovely

omg, I am so happy to hear that! we actually tried some pastries from this lady who usually does the stuff for The Great Gatsby, and honestly? they were just okay, nothing to write home about, pretty mediocre, so now I'm hunting for a new option. and don't even get me started on the cake... just thick, super dry sponge with this heavy parfait—again, totally mid, though edible I guess. anyway, the pastries are the most important thing to me so I'd love to find somewhere else, but I just can't find Sweetheart online anywhere. plus, I don't see a registered business listed in the Washington, D.C. area. if anyone could drop a phone number, I would be so incredibly grateful!

They're located over in Brooklyn, at 72 Queens St. I'll DM you the phone number

Omg, can someone please hook me up with their number? I am searching everywhere and coming up totally empty... also, do you think they'd do a delivery service? Like, if the wedding isn't happening right here in Washington, D.C.?
