We are in the process of building our own space in Capitol Hill (yay!), but in the mean time we use the kitchen space in the back of Ice Cream Jubilee (1407 T St NW, Washington, DC). This is not a storefront for us, but customers can pick up their orders at this location. A week would be great. If you're requesting a complex design that might require ordering fondant figurines, we need a few weeks.

We LOVED everything we got from there. First of all, they were super busy but the staff was working super fast and was incredibly nice and friendly. The sandwiches were delicious (specially the ham and gruyere) and so were the sweets. Awesome scone, brownies and red velvet cupcake. Definitely will want to order birthday cakes from there in the future.

Every time I visit this new business gets better and better. Their staff is very polite, patient, and thoughtful. My favorites are their donuts, they are like cake donuts which I usually hate but these have a squishy, most texture that is so good! Definitely try the passionfruit flavor. I also love that their gluten free base flour does not have nuts. They tend to sell out of the good stuff quick so try to visit earlier in the day if you can.
Their hot drinks can take awhile and aren’t always the best in flavor, but their lavender milk steamer was delicious. There is some room for improvement

Sweet Crimes made the gluten free cupcakes for our wedding in 2019, and I’m so thrilled they’ve opened a storefront! Their khachapuri is an amazing treat with a luxurious texture. Their ham and gruyère sandwich is huuuge and could easily feed 2-3 people. The pumpkin bread and carrot cake are soft and delicious (carrot cake was one of the cupcake flavors at our wedding, it is That Good). The donuts sell fast for a good reason and you would do well to find out why.
Keri, the owner, is the sweetest person in the whole world, and an absolute dream to work with. If you’re gluten free (or even

I had a really good cheese and egg biscuit, a latte and I couldn’t NOT get the donut.
This place is amazing. All of the food I and my partner had was incredible and the coffee was brilliant too. But THE DONUTS. They were AMAZING. They sold out whilst I was sat here (10:30 on a Sunday) so make sure to get here early! The person at the counter said they’re still very new and figuring out how fast things will sell.
Cannot recommend enough. This was all delicious.

Capitol Hill's first gluten-free bakery is here! Located on Pennsylvania Ave SE on the same block as the late Representative John Lewis' barber, Sweet Crimes is a small bakery with mighty products. Here's why you should visit:
1) Food: If you're not gluten intolerant, you may look down on gluten-free products, but don't with Sweet Crimes. They are among the best baked goods in the city and happen to be gluten-free. On opening day (November 22, 2021), I stopped in for an egg and cheese biscuit (I paid an extra $1 for ham), chocolate chip scone and a chocolate glazed donut. Each was flavorful and

My wife brought back a number of goodies after they first opened, including my favorite, a blueberry muffin. It was beyond spectacular, I mean possibly the best blueberry muffin I have ever had in my life. It was simply that good! If she hadn't told me it was gluten-free, I'd never have guessed.
In fact everything was so wonderfully delicious it really makes you wonder, "Is gluten really even necessary?". So happy to have them in the neighborhood, will be visiting often!

Keri did such a lovely job with a custom cupcake order! I was looking for a bakery that could do gluten-free and vegan cupcakes with custom decorations to celebrate an engagement. Keri knocked it out of the park with very little direction! In addition to being adorable, the cupcakes were delicious - you couldn't even tell they were gluten-free and vegan!
