Bakeshop
1025 North Fillmore St., Arlington
Looking for a neighborhood hideaway where you can sip an almond-milk latte and snack on an animal-product-free treat? Bakeshop is it. The diminutive Clarendon bakery churns out sweets for all kinds of diets (save the low-calorie ones), with options ranging from vegan to gluten-free. The shop is also known for its, shall we say, “innovative” espresso and tea recipes—like a Lucky Charms latte topped with the cereal’s signature marshmallows, or a bright purple-taro latte marked with foam. Perch yourself on one of the bar seats by the window if you like people-watching.
