What a gorgeous little bakery! I was wandering through the neighborhood and craving a lil sweet treat, and just couldn't resist when I saw the gorgeous marker art on D Light's windows! It was pretty crowded (to be expected for AdMo on a Saturday morning), but we were served within minutes and managed to snag one of the window seats. My friend and I decided to sample a smattering of pastries, including the orange rose eclair, asparagus danish, and matcha croissant. The asparagus danish was by far my favorite; there was a generous helping of asparagus, which was baked to perfection and paired perfectly with the garlicy, deeply savory cheese filling. The pastry itself was flaky and buttery, and generally a great contrast in texture vs. the gooey cheese and soft asparagus. The orange eclair and matcha croissant were both equally solid, although I found both to be a bit lacking in flavor -- they both certainly looked the part, with orange shavings on eclair and green streaks throughout the croissant, but I felt like the orange / matcha flavor itself kind of fell flat. Even so, all of the pastries were solid and a great way to satisfy my sweet tooth for the weekend. Will definitely be paying D Light another visit!

D Light Cafe & Bakery is a lovely, quaint cafe in Adams Morgan. You can't miss this spot on 18th covered by a plethora of flowers. There are so many yummy menu items to enjoy, but my favorite is the Eggs Benedict with gravlox. The gravlox melts like butter in your mouth. The staff here are super sweet and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this adorable cafe.

I am visiting DC and had the great pleasure of finding this great cafe. I saw some reviews and thought, this looks perfect for my Birthday lunch! I was about to give up having lunch due to issues with finding a parking spot. But lo and behold, a spot opened up just around the block! Coming to the front, it was very pretty with white and flowers over the threshold. I walked in and noticed the wonderful couches and interior, which was inviting. Isiah was at the front and was inviting. I had no idea what I wanted, but he was able to get me a menu, drink menu, and showed me where the pastries and other items were located. I took a minute and found the wonderful french toast with a berry compote and said that says BIRTHDAY LUNCH! I ordered that and a chai tea. The chai was out, so I was moved to a wonderful latte. I asked to sit outside and the owner Carrie (sorry if misspelled) came out to clean the table and even asked if I wanted her to bring out another able since this area was in the sun! So NICE. I was like, yeah no, I really want to sit in the sun and soak it up! I sat outside in the sun and enjoyed the hustle and bustle outside and enjoyed the warmth of the sun. While waiting, Isiah brought out an eclair that had pears on top and a wonderful creme filling. He said that the owner said, Happy Birthday. I had mentioned it while she was cleaning the table, that I was treating myself to lunch. PROS: Food was amazing, the french toast was delightful with the compote Eclair, wowzer! I was told it was earl grey or lavender, I am so sorry, it was great Very inviting atmosphere Welcoming Outside seating Decor and plenty of seats inside CONS: Parking, good luck JUST GIVE THEM A TRY! Loved everything.

Got a snickerdoodle coffee and peach lemon tea. Both were quite good! There's also a good amount of seating you could work or read from here as well, However the wait time was quite long even though there weren't too many people in front of us. When we did get to the front, we were told it was cash only. I had cash, but then was told I can't get change back.

D Light continues to produce high quality baked goods. I always make a point to drop by and see what's in the display case when I'm in Adams Morgan. Recently, I enjoyed a very impressive ham and cheese croissant. This isn't an easy Viennoiserie pastry to pull off, so, kudos on that. The staff is humble and friendly--never any pretentious attitudes. This cheery spot has gained quite a following. Since opening in 2022, I've become an unabashed fan.

Such a cute cafe in Adams Morgan. It's the first Ukrainian cafe in DC and introduced me to Savory oatmeal! I stopped in on a Saturday morning to treat myself to breakfast while getting some work done. You order up at the counter and I decided to try the oatmeal with smoked salmon, forest mushrooms, and topped with a poached egg. It was delicious and just worked as a filling, flavorful, savory breakfast item. I just wished the mushrooms where a bit less crunchy and instead matched the creamy and smooth texture of the oatmeal it was mixed in with (I am guessing they use dehydrated mushrooms). They have a nice selection of great pastries and cakes as well. The coffee/tea drinks also look worth trying. Great atmosphere and staff. This place can get busy on the weekend but the staff keep things moving. This cafe has interesting menu items and I want to come back to try the cottage cheese pancakes next time!

This Ukrainian cafe is a MUST visit for anyone living in DC. I would eat their cottage cheesecakes with salmon and mushroom sauce every day if I could. It's amazing. The salmon is cured with beets and smoked in-house. The mushroom cream sauce is rich yet not too heavy and very mushroom-ey. It's fantastic - one of my all time favorite lunch dishes. They have a lot of great pastries and cakes as well. The coffee drinks are really well made - get a latte! Great atmosphere and staff. Really great people. If you are a local, and you haven't been here, you're missing out!
