Sticky Fingers — the plant-based bakery founded by two-time Cupcake Wars winner Doron Petersan in 2002 — officially has a bigger operation to help keep up with the growing demand for its nationwide online orders and wholesale treats, with the addition of a new kitchen and retail shop in D.C.’s Takoma neighborhood.

The new location at 314 Carroll Street, N.W., across from the Takoma Metro station, replaces its original Columbia Heights location. The space was formerly occupied by Soupergirl, whose soups are carried in Sticky Fingers’ grab-and-go section.

Sticky Fingers fans will find the same vegan sweets it’s known for: cookies, brownies, cupcakes and cakes. The menu also has some savory new additions, including plant-based ham and cheese croissants, spinach and feta danishes, sandwiches, vegan cheeses and house-made charcuteries.

Its coffee is sourced from the Alexandria-based Swing’s Coffee.

“When I first moved to D.C. in 1995, I lived in and fell in love with Takoma Park. Ever since we opened our first shop, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to get back to the most welcoming community I’ve ever known. I am so excited to bring our sweets and eats to the Takoma and Takoma Park community,” Petersan said.

Petersan also operates the plant-based Sticky Fingers Diner, formerly Fare Well Café, on H Street in Northeast.

Sticky Fingers baked goods are also carried at 100 retail outlets in the D.C. area, including Foxtrot, Streets Markets, Whole Foods, MOM’s Organic Market, Yes! Organic Market, Peregrine and Odd Provisions.
