Dessert in Capitol Hill: The Sweet Lobby

I have to admit, I knew about this uber fabulous establishment, known as The Sweet Lobby, long before I was a Capitol Hill resident. 

The Sweet Lobby serves cupcakes, macaroons, and cupcakes with macaroons on top.  Simple, right? Simple and delicious!  

The macaroons are hands-down my favorite thing at The Sweet Lobby. The flavors are inventive, fun, and change on a regular basis.  The presentation is beautiful and they have great gift box options if you are looking for a unique hostess or work gift.  

I am not traditionally a cupcake lover; however, The Sweet Lobby's cupcakes really hit a home run with me. Why? Because they are not overly sweet or overly filling. I can actually eat an entire cupcake from The Sweet Lobby and not feel like I am on the verge of becoming diabetic.  The cupcakes come in a wide variety of flavors including vegan and gluten free options.  

The Sweet Lobby makes the perfect stop for an afternoon sweet fix or a unique dessert destination after dinner on Barracks Row.  

Personally, I would recommend the praline macaroon - it's divine. :-)
