Rose Ave Bakery

We ordered our wedding cake from Rose Ave Bakery and couldn’t have been happier. We chose their Ube cake and it was absolutely amazing. The cake looked gorgeous, was decorated beautifully, and tasted incredible. Our guests loved it as well. We highly recommend them!!

Loved this bakery! Great pastries and baked goods with asian flavors. The pandan malasada was delicious and I wish I tried the ube cakes. I also bought their cookies to go and bring home from my trip and I highly recommend their classic chocolate chip and their cinnamon banana bread! Ube latte was a 5/5 and the spam musubi croissant was even more delicious. Their line can get long, but it moves fast. Will be going back next time i'm in DC.

This is my favorite kind of place; creative, quiet, and friendly. They are crafting beautiful pastries with unique flavor combinations. I'm a person with an indefatigable sweet tooth but, ironically, I don't like things to be overly sweet. This place his the mark perfectly on that score. The black sesame cream in their donut was barely sweetened and right up my alley. The Thai Curry Tart was fragrant and savory. It was delicious. The hot mocha was not sweet in any way. It was very good. I travel a lot with work. This is just the kind of hidden gem I search out on my overnights. Two and a half thumbs up.

December 2025 Came here after many rave reviews. Creative pastries and beverages with Asian twist. Paying premium for the chef creativity. Limited seating available with many carry out customers. With long line, have more registers available… unless waiting is simply the expectation. This is a bakery not quick service business model. I think business owner focus on the pastry offering instead. My rating 5 as very satisfied Taste 4/5 Temp 2/5 Speed of service 2/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Attentiveness 3/5

Everything we tried was delicious! Rose Ave has such a light and airy vibe—both the space and the food. Every dish felt rich and flavorful without being over the top. Highlights for us were the lox focaccia (perfectly balanced and fresh) and the ube donut—a total standout. My husband couldn’t stop raving about the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant too. Highly recommend coming hungry so you can try a little bit of everything—and plan to take some home for later! Bonus points for offering a discount to furloughed federal workers, which is such a thoughtful touch.
