The Sweet Lobby

You’ll miss this place if you’re not a local, paying attention, because there is no signage. The staff members were very friendly and the desserts were delectable. 10/10 would recommend.

The desserts are pretty good although some of the items could be more flavorful and prepared better. The scones were awful-they didn't have much of a flavor and were so dry! Water couldn't even quench my thirst! The cupcakes were really good especially the champagne and the chocolate ones. The service was pretty lack luster. Nothing special and seemed somewhat detached. I'm not sure if i would return but it was a relatively nice visit that satisfied my sweet tooth. (The cassava is overtly devastatingly sweet)

I went to this establishment today. The young lady at the register was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the butterscotch and the white chocolate cupcake originally but Unfortunately, they did not have the butterscotch so I decided to get the double chocolate. When I tried the white chocolate raspberry cupcake, it was lacking flavor. The only thing that stood out was the fruit inside of the cupcake. I hope that the reviews about the shop is taken into consideration by the owner in order to improve In certain areas, but other than that I will still support the small business.

Always love to support Black owned/run businesses, but for the confections to be award winning, I was a bit disappointed. The shop is located on a cute street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, but be aware - there’s no place in the shop to sit to enjoy your treat.

I was just curious to try these cupcakes because their texture and design look so yummy! I picked up a chocolate/vanilla which didn’t feel very fresh, maybe It’s because I got there right before closing and the cake was sitting there for long but it tasted like it was there all day! On the other side, the piña colada was so soft and yummy; I regret not taking 2 of this! I think price is fair for the amount!

The place may not look the best from the outside, but it's what's inside that counts! Top-notch product that will be my new go-to now that Ladure in Union Station is unavailable. I can't wait to try the wide selection of Macrons, and if they match the intrigue of the cupcakes, I will be re-visiting this review.

Please do not order online. I ordered a dozen cupcakes online and paid in advance days before an event. When I went to pick up my order for the event, they didn't have it ready and most of the cupcakes I ordered online (placing the flavors in the note section as instructed) were not available. I had to select other options that we didn't like as a refund wasn't available and I was pressed for time. They need to update their online ordering options and at least contact people if the online order is not available, especially if they are processing your payment. I love to support small businesses but this was not a great experience. I recommend calling if you need to place a large order to get clarification on flavors available etc. Also if you are vegan, you are not able to order cupcakes individually, although it is an option online, you can only get this option by the dozen.

I purchased cupcakes for a family members 55th birthday. When we cut into the lemon cupcake, they found what appears to be mold. I am so upset! I have been going to SL for years and this was the 1st time something like this occurred. Soooooooooo Disappointed! I would have called to share this info with the bakery directly but it appears that the phone number that was previously listed has been removed, hence the posting.
