Unfortunately not a good experience here. The service wasn’t the best. The deserts were expensive and bland. The frozen lemonade was super good and unique. We just hoped for a better experience. For 4 small cooks and a lemonade it was over $25.
I was visiting DC and decided to try this shop connected to our hotel. I got two cinnamon roll macrons and 3 cookies. (Funfetti, peanut butter and chocolate chip). Spent almost $20 on these items for them to not be good!!! The peanut butter wasn’t even flavored but had a few nuts inside it, the funfetti and chocolate chip were super hard to eat. Almost stale like. Macaroons were good but i would say not worth the price. The cashier was also low energy and seemed like she...read full review
Not much for ambience, but the coffee is amazing and the dairy free macaroons are delicious. My favorite was the raspberry, but the passionfruit was also really good.

Praline Bakery offers a variety of pastries, cupcakes, cookies, and breakfast options like egg sandwiches. Customers appreciate the delicious pastries, including an incredible almond croissant and tasty cupcakes, with some noting that the lemon bar has a strong, enjoyable lemon flavor. The bakery also serves seasonal frozen lemonade, which is described as tart and refreshing, and a hot chocolate that many find excellent.
While the baked goods generally receive positive comments, the coffee experiences vary. Some enjoy the Lavazza coffee, but others find the coffee quality poor, describing it as awful and not worth drinking. The bakery’s hot chocolate and certain desserts like the lemon bar are highlights.
The bakery’s staff receive mixed reviews. Some customers mention helpful and attentive service, especially when selecting items or at opening, but others report rude or indifferent behavior. One staff member, specifically an older woman, was described as very rude, snapping at a customer and giving confusing information about coffee and bags. Seating options are limited, with only a small table and bar seats available, which can be inconvenient on a cold day.
Overall, Praline Bakery is praised for its tasty pastries and desserts but is also known for inconsistent service and quality issues with coffee. Improvements in staff friendliness and seating arrangements could enhance the experience.
