The best bakery in DC. Got myself a number of assorted bakery items to serve at a gathering I was to. A few did not make to the gathering as my wife and I had to sample them. They were all a big hit! So fresh and delightful. This bakery is small but has so many items to choose from. Look over my pictures and drool. Really, not easy to find as it is in an underground shopping district below the Watergate complex but if you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to get the very best. The butter cakes are out of this world.
Great experience! Easy to communicate with and Fantastic Cake!
Ordered an 8” x 8” rum cake for my husband’s birthday. Watergate pastry was super easy to communicate with, their pricing was fair ($50).
On pick up day everything was easy, and the employee at the shop was so kind.
I’m personally not even a fan of rum cake (it’s his favorite) but we both ended up loving the cake!!! It was creamy, flavorful, flaky, and the perfect amount of sweet!
10/10 recommend watergate pastry! And it’s fun to walk around the old historic building while you’re in the area :)
The name “Watergate Cake” is believed to named after the Watergate scandal involving President Nixon in 1972, which was unfolding at the time the cake was popular, I am getting custom cakes for special schedule and never disappointed and always enjoyed every bit of my cake
Spectacular dark chocolate mousse. Probably the best that I have ever had. It was moist, decadent, rich, anything that you want in a chocolate mousse. And the decorations were so professional and sharp, it was a shame to ruin them to eat the cake itself! Definitely would recommend that you try any of their delicious pastries here.
My experience was absolutely perfect! The ordering and pick up process couldn't have been easier. The cake was just what my husband wanted for his 40th birthday. (He couldn't wait to have more for breakfast!) It was delicate and delicious. I can't wait to have an excuse to order again!
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!!
My favorite pastry shop in the US! My family has been coming here my whole life, maybe before I was born. They have some pastries here 5hat I've never had anything close to. (The Grand Marnier, amazing! ) I adore this place.
I have been a fan of Watergate Pastry since the late 1970's, when the Watergate complex was a major architectural wonder, and its restaurants and hotel were THE places to be seen in DC. The pastry shoppe was famous for the chocolate mousse cakes and their exquisite pastries. The white chocolate mousse has been a favorite in our family for more than 30 years. Although the buildings are crumbling, and the hotel and the restaurants are gone, inside the courtyard on the lower level, sits the same Watergate Pastry...with the delectable treats they always had, along with a few new ones worth trying. I tell anyone that will listen to me that they absolutely must try this amazing gem in NW DC, that is worth the extra effort to get into the complex....they will not be disappointed!
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
Anton and the team at Watergate Pastry are phenomenal! They created a custom Grateful Dead Tres Leches birthday cake that looked amazing and tasted even better. Thanks for making a surprise 30th birthday a great success!
This place is simply amazing! I loved everything I'd tried.
If you are looking for GREAT pastries in Foggy Bottom, West End, Georgetown, Washington DC, or el mundo, this is IT!
