Love Cafe ought to open more locations in the area - if I was still living in the U St. neighborhood I'd frequent this spot more often. I'm a huge fan of CakeLove's baked goods, especially their big, well-frosted cupcakes and their unique cake flavors. My favorite is their chocolate cake with cream and chocolate ganache. It's a perfect way to reward yourself after a hard day or a long week. And if you're looking for something savory to go before that slice of cake, LoveCafe offers sandwiches that are pretty solid -splurge on a grilled cheese with bacon if you're really going all out!
Pros: awesome cakes, cupcakes and pastries; offers sandwiches
Cons: Not open late most days
