Patisserie/Cake Shops near Bethesda, MD

“If macarons is your addiction, then Ladurée is your holy land as the pastries, cookie, and coffee seem to be menu fillers. There are plenty macaron shops now compared to a decade ago as more craft patissiers seem to have demystified the science of macarons over the years. From my perspective, a premium quality macaron embodies exceptional flavor, texture, and a proper external layer of crisp. Ladurée's macarons score high marks on texture and crispy layer but the flavor could stand out a little more with less sugar. At $4 per macaron, it's expensive and that's without the additional cost for the packaging so make sure you love macarons if you decide to stop by.“

“Delicious pastries and coffee, great vibe“

“Great place to get a coffee, great people working here and wide selection of deli/bakery items. Also right across the street from Lincoln Park, this place has been a staple for our house“

“I really wanted to love this cafe, but a few things threw me off. The prices seemed affordable at first, but after the unexpected 12% service charge and DC’s already high taxes, my total was a lot higher than I expected. That said, my scallion pancake sandwich was really good—the sauce added so much extra flavor! The drip coffee was also solid, and the location is great. I’d love to see them cut down on these extra fees, though, because the cafe itself is gorgeous inside. I can definitely spend an afternoon here reading“

“The dark chocolate is rich, decadent, thick, indulgent. I paired it with their butter croissant - it’s buttery, not the classic French-kind, it’s thick- but this texture goes really well with the dark chocolate. I just kept shaking my head after each sip and bite in disbelief- amazing. Will be back for sure. And the Christmas lights on the ceiling make this place that much more magical. Thank you to the amazing baristas- they’re super nice and make this place even more magical ✨👏🏻“

“Adorable bakery with beautiful tasty cakes (fresh and not super sugary the way I prefer it). Packaging thoughtful and I requested them to write “Happy Birthday” which they did in super cute writing and also as a surprise included a cake knife and candles. Thank you very much (cake was very well received and devoured)😀!!“

“Lucky enough to live right by this location. These cupcakes are perfect! Just the right amount of frosting to cake. Flavors are always changing to keep it interesting - but, at the same time, there are core flavors you can count on. The staff is incredibly kind. Everything is baked fresh right on premises every single day - not brought in from some other location. Prices are reasonable. If you are on their mailing list they often have promotions :) The mini cupcakes are beyond adorable. And, I have a neighbor that tells me his dog is totally addicted to the pup cakes. It’s a 10/10!“
