The shop will offer house-made and customizable treats including ice cream by the scoop, milkshakes, cakes, and cupcakes.
Ed. Note: I guess this finally settles the neighborhood name dispute.

Thanks to Stuart for passing on from the Chevy Chase listserv:
“I was in Pumpernickels/Arucolo (5534 Connecticut Avenue, NW) on Sunday morning – and go the skinny from the owner. They will be going to online sales only as of April 1. They plan to do baking and preperation offsite – and then use the various food delivery services available (uber eats etc.) Apparently Arucolo is also leaving.”
Pumpernickel’s twitter has a post on December 10th 2018 saying “PUMPERNICKEL’S IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.” However there is a yelp review from February that says:
“Was glad to find out that this shop is not closed but joined with the restaurant Arucola so you can still get bagels there at a makeshift counter in the back of the dining room (hours are 7:30-8 am to 2 pm daily). (more…)

Thanks to Susan and ANC Commissioner 3F06 Monika Nemeth for passing on the news:
“I went to visit Jake’s (5018 Connecticut Ave.) this evening as they are in my SMD and was shocked to learn that they are closing permanently on Sunday. Apparently lease negotiations fell apart. They will be sorely missed.”
Jake’s American Grille opened here in February 2011. Before Jake’s this space was home to Uptown Cathay. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.
