Ed. Note: We recently spoke about the closure of the Columbia Heights location here.

From a press release:

“Sticky Fingers, the beloved woman-owned DC-based bakery from two-time Cupcake Wars champion, Doron Petersan, is now sweetening up more of the DMV. Its latest retail outlet and flagship commercial kitchen opens its doors on Tuesday, January 23rd in the Takoma neighborhood of DC, at 314 Carroll Street NW, across from the Takoma Metro Station. The bakery takes over the space formerly occupied by Soupergirl, and will carry Soupergirl soups in its grab-and-go section.

While the bakery has a “soft opening” this week, it will gradually expand its hours and offerings over the coming weeks, and have a grand opening celebration for the community next month.

Thanks to Daniel for sending: “We have two great places to eat on the 200 block of Upshur. A pizza and beer place – maybe with some TVs for sports (?!?) would be amazing. Not a ton of info online yet.”

You can see their menus here.

Stay tuned for more.
