The Cakeroom | 2006 18th St NW, Washington, D.C. 20009

Maryland:
Pie Corner | 4215 Howard Ave., Kensington, Md. 20895

Henry’s Sweet Retreat | 4823 St. Elmo Ave. Bethesda, Md. 20814
Henry’s Sweet Retreat offers a lot more than pie or baked goods, as it also hosts birthday parties, camps and classes. For those simply looking for pie, however, they still have you covered, specializing in cream pies, fruit pies and pecan pies.
