Cafe Cielo

I cant believe I didn't discover Cafe Cielo earlier, but I will definitely be back and recommend to others! The bakeries and pastries look amazing and they're very reasonably priced. The coffee is also great. Very pleasant and cozy atmosphere!

Got Napoleon and muffin. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! I like how the pastries were not overly sweet or oily. They definitely use good ingredients here. Will visit again!

Amazing amazing prices are very reasonable. It's my first place when I like a cup of coffee. it taste amazing and the milk tastes so rich you can get couple of desserts for only one dollars. Things are always fresh and you can taste the butter in them .Makes it if you would like a quick breakfast under five dollars they also sell cream and other breakfast items, birthday cakes and tiramisu so the excellent tiramisu that you will ever taste. Staff also very welcoming higher. Recommend if you are in the Columbia Heights area.

Finally, a bakery in DC that's worth visiting. Everything from coffee, cakes, breads, donuts, and so much more. Fresh made Tres Leches, not that frozen mess. Napoleon by far better than Tiffany's. Go check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Just wow, the birthday cakes they always have available are great. The tres leches is just amazing!!

Can you believe you can grab a hot coffee and a fresh bread for just $3? I was staying nearby for a week, and honestly, finding this place was one of the highlights of my trip. I need this kind of cozy and family-like bakery around my places.

Our new favorite bakery for specialty cakes! We’ve gotten two cakes from them, one for our wedding which had a custom flavor combination and a slightly similar one for my husband’s birthday! Their buttercream is luscious and pillowy almost marshmallow-like! I love the texture, flavor, and how it simply melts with each bite. Our wedding cake was absolutely fantastic! It was a vanilla buttercream with tres leches layers and generously centered with a rich caramel sauce; we all absolutely loved the flavor combination. We requested for a vintage style heart shape and they even graciously bordered the cake with white edible delicate roses! What we love is that their cakes have this level of airiness that makes them stand out. We’ve never had El Salvadorian cakes before and we are so glad we now have a staple in the city!

Perfect community cafe! Good coffee that’s reasonably priced and the cakes and breakfast are a perfect Columbia Heights treat! Why go anywhere else?!?

This was a cute little cafe that I stopped by after a long bike ride. This cafe must be fairly new to the neighborhood because I've ridden past here dozens of times and I've never seen it. The lemon cupcake caught my eye and I also ordered the caramel macchiato. I stayed seated inside for about ten minutes before I continued on my journey. The cafe is a little bit small and I think it's intended for short stay customers. It was a nice relaxing cafe, and I could tell that I wasn't the only one with the same sentiment. There were at least half a dozen of Sunday walkers who came in for a cup of Joe. This made me wonder how popular they are during the week.

UPDATE: Please take out the bones out of the panes con pollo. I always went and for weeks, we didn't have too much of a problem. This time, they made the sandwich (with a bit of an attitude that it was requested) and there was bone in the sandwich which led me to go to the hospital. So just to keep that in mind about the bone.

Fantastic service, everyone speaks both English and Spanish. Truly unbelievable price for everything. All food and pastries were fresh!
