Ravenhook Bakehouse

Excellent baked goods! We get stollen each Christmas, it’s a 30+ year tradition in our family. Several years ago, our favorite bakery we ordered our stollen from closed. Since then, we have tried various bakeries. Unfortunately, none have been as good…until now. Ravenhook Bakehouse stollen is the BEST we have had. It has outstanding texture and the amount of fruit is perfect. The figs were a nice surprise. Additionally, we also had the pecan bars, as well as iced Christmas and gingerbread men cookies They, too, were delicious. The pecan bars crust had the buttery goodness you want from a pecan bar, but weren’t greasy as some can be. The pecan filling was perfect. The gingerbread cookie had the amount of ginger you look for in this classic holiday treat. The iced Christmas cookies were classic in the best way.
We placed our Christmas treats order online and picked them up at the DuPont Circle Farmers Market - it was so easy. Additionally, Ravenhook has friendly customer service. I called with a few questions and the baker was extremely helpful.
We look forward to sampling more Ravenhook baked goods in 2025!

Some of the best bread in the city! It’s affordable without skimping on quality! We love the whole wheat sourdough and the rye with caraway. The pastries are also so so good. The owner is so knowledgeable and excited about bread! It’s a great local bakery

Always enjoy picking up Ravenhook’s baguettes, sourdough, cookies, croissants and a variety of other baked goods when I go to Mosaic’s Farmers Market on Sundays. The staff are always helpful and informative and the bread is always delicious and baked well - nice crunchy crust with a soft inside.

Delicious, affordable and hand crafted bread. I could never choose my favorite because all their loaves are to die for. Don't miss this stand at the farmers market!

The tomato mozzarella focaccia I recently got from the UMD farmers market is my absolute favorite! Just gave it a quick refresh in the oven at 350F and it was perfect! The scones and multigrain bread are also delicious.

Visited DC food hall while on a short business trip and was not pleased with the quality of baked goods I received. The coffee cake was substandard and very dry my taste.

Lemon cake and scones are very tasty! Everything is fresh here.

Visited recently with my wife and was very disappointed with the quality of their goods. The coffee cake was very dry and just didn't seem to have much flavor. 1 star ?.

Terrible.
