Rob: What’s the word?

Bob: Hello!

Rob: Hi. Got any news?

Bob: Hello!

Rob: Buddy, this is getting pretty awkward.

Bob: Sorry. I’m talking about Hello Cupcake, a store that sells freshly baked cupcakes with quirky names like You Tart (lemon) and seasonal flavors like root beer float. They even make delicious vegan and gluten-free varieties.

Rob: Doggone it, Bob, that sounds intriguing.

Bob: That reminds me. There will be pupcakes for the doggies, too.

Rob: How will I find it?

Bob: Just look for the pink chandeliers and chocolate-colored walls. But you’d better hurry; they’re bound to sell out fast.

Rob: You had me at Hello.

Hello Cupcake 1351 Connecticut Avenue NW, between N Street and Dupont Circle (202-861-2253 or hellocupcakeonline.com).
