Family-Owned for Three Decades
Chef Stephen Thomas has always understood the importance of cultivating a positive experience for his customers. Shaped by his many years in hospitality, he envisioned bringing Halal gourmet desserts to his community. In June 1996, this vision came to fruition when he opened the doors of Sweet Tooth Cakes & Pastries. Since opening day, Sweet Tooth has remained a welcoming and uplifting space that keeps customers returning week after week, month after month, and year after year.
From Our Family to Yours
In 2011, Chef Thomas and his wife, Sara, opened Sweet Tooth Café, a halal American comfort food restaurant aimed at addressing the limited halal options in Prince George’s County. Since 2019, we’ve expanded our menu to offer vegan desserts and meals to accommodate our daughter’s, Amina’s, severe allergies and other customers with dietary restrictions. Amina has since developed every recipe for all of our vegan offerings.
Since our café expansion, we’ve been able to bring delicious sweets and foods to everyone — including our signature Curry Chicken Salad and our Triple Chocolate Cake that can be made vegan or non-vegan!
Inclusive Dining for All
Serving our community has always been a priority for Sweet Tooth. Catering to underserved groups and areas is at the forefront of our mission. This led us to our latest chapter in the Thomas family’s legacy: the opening of a new location in Anacostia. Anacostia is one of the most underserved communities in Washington, DC’s Southeast quadrant and we are ecstatic to be a part of the revitalization of this community.
