Yeah…I thought that entire strip was going to be torn down for a hotel. But if the owner of “Aroma” bakery is reading this, may I suggest that you sell some homemade doughnuts. U Street is lacking a good doughnut shop. I would open one if I had the capital but since I don’t, I’d like to place this idea in ears of those who could make it happen.

The sh*tbag that owned the dollar store is behind this aroma BS place too.

That looks like it’s in the Rite Aid strip mall building, which might soon be replaced by a hotel. Or is that further down?

Frankly, I’m excited that there will be options other than stale-licious Cake Love and Love Cafe. Let’s cross our fingers that at least one of these two are quality baking establishments!

@fisherdm – I also find Cake Love to be a letdown! Looking forward to having another option nearby.

This is awesome news…and it’s good to hear that I’m not the only one who thinks Cake Love gets way more hype than their dry, crumbly-ass cake deserves. Hopefully the new kids on the block will be better!

Hopefully it’ll be better than the much-hyped, but often-disappointing Cake Love. Man that place sucks.

How dare Richard Aroma name a bakery after himself. Doesn’t he know that DC residents will not stand for this kind of brazen creativity?

If breads sold in sizes and varieties for the single fellow, I am there for my daily bread.

There’s a reason all of these businesses share the same name. They are all owned by local entrepreneur Richard Aroma.
