Watergate Pastry

My first time here. It took me 45 minutes to find parking but I really wanted to come. Upon entering the bakery the lady was in the back and came out and was not friendly. She acted like I was disturbing her. Seemed like she didn't want to help me. The bakery did not have a large selection as I thought it would have. The few cake slices they had looked leftover from the day before. I brought a pastry. It was good but I will not come back again.

Always great cakes! I've ordered the white chocolate mousse cake 3-4x now and it's always been amazing!!

Very nice pastry. The lady who runs it very kind person .The shop only needs some touch up.

Huge selections of truffles, cakes, cookies, etc. No gluten free. Super close to the Kennedy Center.

The White Chocolate Mousse cake has been a family favorite for over 20 years!

Ordered some custom cookies, adding our company logo to shortbread-type cookies, and they turned out great (and were tasty too!). While picking them up we decided to try their chocolate cake, and it was amazing. Wow. So thanks again to Watergate Pastry, they did a great job for me yet again!!

So good! What a hidden gem... If you're going to the Kennedy Center definitely pre game here with a slice of delicious cake!

I ordered a pineapple upside down cake with balloons and paid to have it delivered to a hotel on Capitol Hill. I was told the cake tasted good but the rest of the experience was negative. The balloons were blown up by mouth...no helium and not floating. The icing writing on the cake was lacking. The receipt was ON TOP of the box!! For $65, I expected more, a lot more.

ordered a custom cake from here (mocha buttercream) and it tasted great. I spoke to more than 10 cake stores across DC, maryland, and virginia and watergate pastry offered the cheapest price for the design and size. they also did great with the cake design
