50 Best Bakeries near Capitol Heights

“My daughter had a graduation cake from Sweet Tooth Cakes and Pastries. when I tell you this cake was delicious, light, flavorful and looked beautiful!! it was all of that and more!!! The cake actually made me happy!!! Thank you Sweet Tooth for adding more joy to an already joyful day!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“The music is fine and it plays to a level that allows conversation, there are seats outside for those who like to be al fresco early in the morning. I like the lighting and there is a combination of live plants and an artificial garland inside. I had the ube cake, croissants, the savory bun and they were great. I'm not a fan of donuts but friends rave about them. The coffee is excellent. If you eat in place they serve the pastries on China plates. Do you have a sweet tooth ? Try the vietnamese coffee. Black coffee is your choice - drip, expresso iced and hot are fine and mellow. There is an interesting choice of teas too. When it comes to the banana cinnamon cookie, not so great, took a bite and the prevalent taste was baking soda. Nice touch to combine salt and sweet on the cookie but the baking soda ruins everything. Tried the cookie at the other end and it had no cinnamon flavor. Stick to pastries and you will be safe. Should have got the hojicha roll not the cinnamon cookie but this will be for next time.“

“No other bakery like Seylou. We travel in to the city every weekend to eat here. The staff is so kind and feels like an extension of our family. They’ve taken my child behind the scenes and shown him how grains are killed and bread is baked. I could not ask for a better community and diet staple.“

“Manifest Bread easily has the best bread around! Everything is always fresh, perfectly baked, and packed with incredible flavor. On top of the amazing quality, Richard is an absolute pleasure—he is genuinely nice, welcoming, and always helpful when it comes to making recommendations. If you haven't tried their bread yet, you are missing out. Highly recommend!“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“It was my first time going to this place , the staff can try to be more welcoming and pleaseant and help they clients to order , I had to take my mask off to speak and let them know what i wanted and as i was ordering I felt like i was being rushed to order , the food was tasting but tge owner needs to change the way the food is charged , I was charge for each separate item this is not a place where you order yourself a complete meal for a full charge , the food was delicious but I would not go back and another turn off in the bakery area they had flies around the sweet bread .“

“A chill little bakery with fantastic pastries, cookies and croissants, as well as quality coffee. Also ordered a cake for my husband's birthday and it was a major hit!“

“I’ve ordered 2 cakes now and consistently then have been 10 out 10 for flavor and design. Their cakes are cute and fun while tasting delightful- you can taste the real ingredients, and every bite is light but sweet without over doing it. The owners are also very nice, family oriented and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“I spoke with the owner a few days (last minute)to my daughter’s birthday. She hooked me up with a delicious and wonderful cake!! I am so grateful and will definitely order a cake from her again. Thank you so much for making my daughter’s day a success.“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“Highly recommended! Very delicious food, excellent service, and absolutely great place.“

“Love the idea of a bread speakeasy! It’s a little hard to find though, they usually sell out of bread by noon, and the prices are pretty steep so I’ll dock a star for that. Recommend the Kouign Amann (5.80) and their cranberry walnut sourdough (13.50).“

“I can't believe that I have lived here for nearly 20 years, walked past this place many times, and just discovered it several weeks ago. WOW! The pastries and, cakes, muffins and croissants are excellent. Their homemade jams are wonderful. Their breads, quite yummy! I love their iced coffee , which has s a very subtle taste of cocoa. And, I am a very picky coffee snob. Service is sometimes a little chaotic, but the staff is super friendly. Weekend mornings are insanely busy- a reflection of how good they are. Amazing, spacious outdoor seating! LOVE this place.“

“I loved my first time experiencing the original salt pretzel. They were warm upon pickup. I ate one in the car, and the other about an hour later. Deliciousness! May be trouble for me because it’s so close to home!“

“Ummmmm, amazing cookies!!! Tried them for the first time, and was shockingly surprised! Will def. be buying some online, since I’m located in Ohio.“

“Cookies are so good food good“

“Loved thier Norwegian salmon crowgel on several occasions... they are welcoming & one time they were closing when we stepped in & they offered thier baked products for free as a courtesy very customer friendly great to have them in Alexandria ✨

A bit smaller space to dine inside other than that great choice for bakery items and sweet treats 🍰“

“Had a fantastic experience at Maman in DC. Dakota, Paul, and Kevin provided exceptional service from start to finish, they took the time to walk me through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even crafted a special drink just for me that was outstanding. The baked goods were absolutely delicious as well. Truly great hospitality all around, and I really appreciated the extra care they put into making the experience memorable. Highly recommend!“

“The cookies are so fresh and full of flavor. Also am a big fan of the coffee.“

“Good food! Everyone is nice! They have a corner for little kids to play for a bit. Their bathroom is Maman friendly!!!!

Cons: I wish they expand! We had a hard time to get a spot for us and won’t be able to go upstairs because we got stroller.“

“Very beautiful area. The quiche was the best I’ve ever had! Very cozy place.“

“The cinnamon rolls are so amazing. Tasted like the real (gluten) thing. I’m very picky with cinnamon rolls and I read other reviews so the expectation was high, but it exceeded my expectations. I was so happy to see the large menu and so many options“

“Awesome pastries, bread and other baked goods. Very creative seasonal menu that uses fruit and veggies at the peak of their flavor. Love love love it!“

“Absolutely try the create your own sundae. There’s a chocolate M&M flavor and I took advantage!“

“Rarely opens on time at 7:30 . Try stop on way work. Still waiting. After ordering they had no bills and gave me 7.90 in change! The cashier had attitude because I made her give me my change and then she had the nerve to give me a Canadian quarter which I gave her right back. Unacceptable.“

“Great time, our first time here. Definitely recommended. the pumpkins look great. Fun family day. Nice market.“

“If you're looking for bakery perfection this is the place! Yum Yum order today.“

“the breakfast sliders are yummy and the sticky pretzel with chocolate inside is good not real sweet but just right❤️“

Randy is an amazing baker! She greeted me and my wife with a friendly smile, professionalism and extremely prompt amazing service! The cake and cupcakes were absolutely delicious and fresh!

“I have been coming here for a couple of years and I'm always pleased with my experience. Good prices, great deals and friendly staff make shopping a here a pleasant trip everytime. I'd recommend this store to anyone who's interested in the above.“

“This has definitely become my new local coffee shop. It’s the kind of place you can go to every day before work starts—it has already become that for me.

The atmosphere is great; it’s a very easy place to get some work done or settle in with a book, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I love coming here in the morning for an iced mocha and their sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The seasoning is excellent and the food is always fresh.

The staff is super nice and they are incredibly quick with orders. I’m already planning on heading back this Saturday with my new read.

Highly recommend!“

“Spring Mill Bread Co. is a highly-recommended neighborhood staple. Decadent breakfast sandwiches, extraordinary Challah, and fabulously buttery scones (the chocolate chip & blueberry are a must).

The cozy environment, complete with local art pieces, allows you to enjoy your food with a pleasant view. Highly recommend.“

“I loved going here and the employees were so nice. I am gluten free and ate the cupcakes. One of the employees showed me everything they make that’s gluten free daily and what they can make upon request. I am partial to the gluten free chocolate cupcake but the vanilla was good too!“

“Súper delicia 😋 ☕️🍪🧁 muy higiénico ambiente agradable y amablemente atendido“

“Rolling Sloane did an amazing job on my daughter’s mermaid birthday cake!! She did a beautiful purple, pink and blue glitter frosting with adorable sugar cookie shells around the side and a mermaid tail sugar cookie for the top. It was exactly what my daughter wanted! On top of that, the cake was so good and we all fought over the last piece! Highly recommend a cake from Rolling Sloane!“

“I love it!!! Great prices compared to similar bakeries in the area, they have a great assortment of pastries (I only tried the dulce de leche medialuna and it was really good) and they have normal priced, good coffee. The decor and ambiance is also lovely. And service is great!“

“Such good macarons. The texture was just right and the flavor are so tasty. The strawberry reminded me if fresh strawberry ice cream. My wife loved the gingerbread and pumpkin spice. Will be ordering again!“

“This is the best quality of cake I’ve ever had in Arlington! I bought some stuff today around 9:45 PM and I was wondering what happens to all the left over stuff and I looked on TooGoodToGo but didn’t find you guys. I wish you don’t through away the left over stuff and pay back some discount to the community! Some people need to try your best food but can’t afford it! If you please consider this!“

“She makes very tasty, amazingly beautiful cakes. Try her. .... you will not be disappointed!“

“Timmy is just the best! I have ordered from him for years. Just recently I needed the best key lime pie and I got the best key lime pie!“

“We consider ourselves conesures of cupcakes. Traveled the US and abroad tasting cupcakes. These were the very worst. Customer service is terrible. Sprinkles, Georgetown, and Heaven Sent Cupcakery Cupcakes exceeds these by leaps and bounds and they all have EXCELLECT Customer service. Oh and their cupcakes are half the price. Sugar Vault is true to its name. The frosting like many have complained has no flavor and measures about a third of a cup in ratio to the cupcake and is unbarerably sweet. The cupcake lacked moisture and was a bit dense. The red velvet did not have a red velvet flavor. Oh and you can't go in to see what you are buying. This is the only bakery that will not allow you to enter even in small numbers rotating thru. Buyer beware...price far exceeds the value. $7 cupcakes, $16 cinnamon roll (haven't yet tried the cinnamon roll). Bought 2 red velvet cupcakes taste tested one and threw the frosting and other cupcake out.“
