Sweet Teensy

This place is amazing. I love the wide variety of treats and the selection of day olds have allowed me to try lots of different items. I love that they have savory items that don’t have meat in them too. The tomato, basil, and mozzarella puffs are A++. The owner is also super nice and you can tell he really cares about the quality of the goods he puts out. Every time I go, he appears to be the only one in the shop; he’s working very hard!

Sweet Teensy is great.
Get the Glazed Bacon Cheese Twists — they’re amazing!

this is my favorite place for coffee (illy) and breakfast. Their scones are amazing — and I am not kidding. They are not on the same level as the other shops in town. I also love their egg buscuit sandwich and am looking forward to trying their turkey on a buscuit for lunch. The people that work there make it even more enjoyable — they are really nice, caring and love their product. Highly recommend.

The service, the food and the freshness was an absolute delight. The red velvet was able to stand on it’s own unlike other cupcakes that fail at being too dense and not enough flavor. The tomato, basil and mozzarella mini muffin was mouthwatering even hours after. Best hospitality besides Clyde’s than anyone else on that block. The less pretentious the better. Deliciousness wins here.

Visit frequent visitor for their iced coffee. Consistently good and always comes with a smile. Although I never eat the baked goods, they look quite tasty.

Just went in. They have some new menu items which are amazingly creative and tasty (new turkey sandwich, guaranteed awesome).
The service is outstanding. The staff is very friendly. Feel rejuvenated every time I go in.

We’ve been regulars here since they opened and have always loved their coffee, bakery selections, and especially the smores brownies! The staff and owners are friendly and seem really like being there.
Do NOT pass up their lil’ quiches. Will always be coming back for more.

I’ve only been here once but the service was awesome and the recommended cookies and cream cupcake was amazing. The cake itself isn’t your normal cupcake. It’s a little sweeter and a little dryer; it reminded me of an Entenmann’s cake. I loved it but my wife did not. I’ll definitely be back.

What a great relaxing atmosphere. Exactly what you would want in a coffee shop/​bakery. Staff is friendly and really seems to enjoy being there. They appear to be expanding their baked offerings as every time I go in there is something new. The coffee is great. Not bitter at all, but full of flavor. I’ve tried many of the baked goods, but my favorites are the strawberry scone and the bacon&cheese twist. Their breakfast sandwiches are also delicious.
Nice to see what appears to be a successful local business with so much promise.

Amazing iced coffee and the best bacon wrapped croissants I’ve ever had. Their yogurt parfait is also amazing!

I only have great things to say about this place. First of all, the bakery is absolutely beautiful; it’s spotless, well decorated and there’s tons of sunlight coming in. But that’s nothing compared to how pleasant the staff is; they’re always sweet and pay attention to every little detail. I came to study all afternoon in the bakery and the owner was absolutely adorable to me, or anyone coming in for that matter.
However, the reason I went there in the first place was because of how good their iced coffee is; it’s perfection, smooth and flavorful without being bitter like Starbucks’. I also had a slice of their apple cake which was out of this world amazing, and the cheddar and chives scone which was super soft and tasty. I can only praise this small local business and hope they’ll keep up the good work!

I have to admit, I was quite disappointed when I found out Frostings had closed. I did used to enjoy their cupcakes. I also have to admit that I am not particularly impressed with the cupcakes at Sweet Teensy. First, they seem quite small for their price. If the cupcakes were really good, I wouldn’t mind spending a little more. However, I do not feel that spending the extra money is justified. The cake part of the cupcake actually tastes pretty good; I just wasn’t a fan of the frosting, which to me tasted a little weird. Don’t get me wrong, the cupcakes are good, but not great. Another thing that is a little disappointing is the lack of variety in the cupcakes they offer. They have the basic flavors plus a few others and that is it. I wish they would offer a few more unique flavors as most cupcake shops tend to do these days.
I would like to say that the staff, specifically the owner, is so friendly and welcoming. Overall, I will visit this place again because I would like to try some of their other baked goods and because it is a really nice, friendly atmosphere.

This a great bakery! I ordered a birthday cake from Sweet Teensy last month (Feb 2015.) The staff was so helpful to me in choosing the cake and frosting flavors, as well as the size of the cake with 15+ guests. I ended up ordering their white coconut cake and it was DELICIOUS! All the guests raved about it. It was really incredible.
Also, they took my cake order 2 days before I picked it up so they were very accommodating. I highly recommend them!

Just excellent!
Thank god for places like this that actually serve GOOD coffee! In addition to that the deserts that actually are FRESHLY BAKED and absolutely delicious.
Scones that are fresh and soft inside. The best ones I had in this city!
Apple cake is to die for and bacon cheese filled twists are just something else.
Can’t be better. Love it. Would stop by everyday if I could.
Always good customer service.

Neighborhood gem. Our go to place for coffee and baked goods. Even made lamingtons for us on Australia Day. What a treat. Nice variety of food and always a smiling face from host Rick, baker Angela and the rest of the team. Thoroughly recommended.

Small cupcake shop with authentic Italian espresso and coffee. Cupcake is $ 2.75 each. Not a bad price at all.

Sunday morning! Lovely blueberry scone! Fresh sour blue berries, doughy, buttery… deliciousness! Great coffee to go!

Sweet Teensy has become my go-​to coffee shop — the illy coffee products are made and served to order of course, and especially if you stay in, remind me of Italy. The scones are some of the best I’ve had this side of the Atlantic. And I’ve sent several boxes of their brownies as gifts this year to high praise from the recipients.
The prices are very reasonable, you don’t have to guess at sizes (no Starbucks faux language here!), and the folks behind the counter are friendly. I change my commute route several times a week just so I can start my day here — takes longer but well worth it.

They’ve been improving since they opened. Good coffee. Lots of bakery options that are tasty. They’ve moved up to five stars. My favorite coffee shop in the area.

Cute bakery near the Friendship Heights metro. Their cupcakes and banana bread very yummy. The coffee is very good. The décor is nice.

3.5 stars
Their cupcakes are not bad. It’s not something I would go out of the way for. It is a smidge smaller than Georgetown Cupcake, but same price. There is too much frosting for its size and is a little too sweet. They do not have a wide variety of flavors, just the usual: Red Velvet, Classic Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Vanilla.
The owner said he wasn’t trying to make the place like a basic cupcakery. In additon to cupcakes, they make scones, coconut macaroons, and brownies/​blondies and serve hot Illy coffee and teas. They also take orders for custom cakes. The guy I talked to, one of the owners, was a restaurateur before opening the bakery. He wants to expand their menu and include sandwiches at some point.
It’s a cute place with nice decorations. There are a couple of tables and chairs inside. They also have outdoor seating. This is in Friendship Heights so parking is not free.

(3.5 stars) I didn’t realize that this place had opened under new management until I walked in. I used to love the cupcake shop that was here before. So, I was a little dismayed not to see the vast selection of cupcakes that the old shop used to have on display; and instead, seeing only three cupcakes and a wide array of other baked goods.
Of course I still got a cupcake, specifically the double chocolate one. It was still good, not as good as the ones previously sold here but still enjoyable. Not too rich but a nice sweet chocolate frosting. Also, they have good illy coffee and a nice relaxing atmosphere.
