Reviews of Souk
"Great experience! Loved talking with the Ladies in the shop. I got ginger and dried oranges for tea - - no food."
"I have been to Souk twice. After the first experience, I was disappointed that there was no indoor seating and the bakery only sells takeout. And the quiches are sold frozen/cold so you can only buy it if you plan to take it home immediately. This isn't a hangout spot at all. Their website doesn't accurately reflect the items they have each day either, which is frustrating. However, the second time I went, I realized the quality of the items far exceeded the disappointment from the above points. The star of the show at this bakery, the item that makes it worth however many miles it takes you to get here, is the kouign amann. This laminated-dough Breton pastry is exceedingly delicious and exceedingly difficult to create to perfection. This bakery does so consistently. They have many different options for the filling, including cranberry, maple pecan, honey pistachio, and even more. It's the reason I will continue to be back indefinitely. (10/10) Some other excellent pastries are a unique creation called a cardamom bun. This is only sold after 11am, so be prepared for that caveat. It has the rich fragrance of whole cardamom seeds and the perfume lingers for a while after you've eaten the bun. Really strong choice if you like whole green cardamom. I give this a 9/10 because it could be overwhelming for some. The chorizo quiche was sort of bland in my opinion. I couldn't taste any spices or even salt. It tasted like eggs, butter, and flour. The crust was good, but a big soggy after I baked it in the oven. Quiche from a French boulangerie like Un Je Ne Sais Quoi is my recommendation. (4/10) The pear danish was very high quality as well (not pictured here). Although I didn't try any, they have numerous unique tarts and mousse cakes. There's a yuzu and black Sesame tart and a chocolate hazelnut tart, both of which look divine. Overall, I recommend visiting this bakery. It's very hard to find kouign amann in the DMV and even more difficult to find it done properly."
"Pleasantly surprised. Cherry scone could use more cherry but everything else (mousse, macaroni, chocolate chip cookie) was well done."
"Unfortunately, really disappointed with this almond croissant. It was extremely hard and dense with the only flavor being from the paste inside. The powder sugar was over powering and it reminded me more of a almond shortbread cookie. It was also extremely overpriced at $5. For grocery store quality, prices should match. Thought I would check this out before work, but not a hit. Still on the look out for a good almond croissant in DC."
"I ordered two of Souk's pastry boxes and they were truly spectacular. I felt like I was getting what people eat at Michelin Star restaurants for a more affordable price... Creative pieces baked with careful thoughtfulness and high quality ingredients. I have since recommended these boxes over all of the others I have tried during quarantine! Bonus bc they brought me to the Capitol Hill area when I hadn't been in what felt like a year."
