50 Best Bakeries near Chevy Chase

“We ordered from berry blue bakes from my daughter’s first birthday party which was bumblebee themed. Everything was not only beautifully made but tasted amazing. We ordered cake pops, cookies, and cupcakes and we would absolutely do it again. They also delivered. Very professional, timely and an over all great choice.“

“Friendly & amazing customer service, and delicious food and drinks. Thank you!“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“There's a reason Rose Ave usually has a line out the door. This is one of the best bakeries in DC, with a somewhat limited selection compared to other bakeries. They have one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city, egg and cheese on a garlic croissant type roll. Super rich and will definitely leave your hands covered in butter. The ube kouign amann is incredible and the donuts are both delicious and unique. They have great coffee and a small selection of cakes and slices of cake as well.“

“I will always seek out a Levain! Their gluten free, vegan chocolate chip with walnuts is incredible. The chocolate melts in your mouth, no matter how long these cookies have been at room temp. It’s small inside the store so just don’t plan on having room to sift down inside.“

“Im not allowed to return home by the 15 year old daughter without bringing Crumbl cookies home (Belgium). This time did a 30 min detour on my way to the airport. Service was friendly and swift... cookies are for the kids at home so can't comment on them myself 😉“

“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 .“

“Passo spesso da Boulangerie Christophe per colazione, uso i buoni pasto Coverflex e mi chiedevo se li accettate anche qui. Non vi trovo nell’app, sarebbe comodo poterli usare per un cornetto al volo!“

“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.“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“Charming bakery and café with a good assortment of baked goods and bubble tea. Everything we've had here has been fantastic and affordable. It's a family run place too which is always better than a chain. Hope this place gets the business it deserves.“

“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 been to Dama a few times and honestly it's the best Ethiopian food in the DMV. The service is always quick and the food is so delicious.

Pro tip since you won't have room for dessert: make sure to visit the bakery side before dinner to grab some pastries to take home.

You'll thank yourself later.“

“We’ve always loved Baked & Wired’s goods, and we knew they would make the perfect cake for our wedding day. Of course, they delivered. Baked & Wired was very easy to work with and the cake was just right! Our guests loved it, and we can’t wait to eat the last slice on our one year anniversary!“

“If you’ve got a sweet tooth, Crumbl is dangerously good. The cookies are massive, soft, and served warm—basically a dessert lover’s dream. What really sets Crumbl apart is the weekly rotating menu. There’s always something new to try, from classic chocolate chip to wild, creative flavors like churro, key lime pie, or cosmic brownie. Some are hit-or-miss depending on your taste, but when they hit, they hit hard.

The presentation is also on point. The pink box feels premium, and the cookies look like they came straight out of a bakery photoshoot. They’re rich, thick, and shareable (though you might not want to share).

Only downside? They’re not cheap, and they’re definitely not “health food,” but for a treat, they’re worth every bite.

Highly recommend stopping in when a flavor catches your eye—you won’t regret it.“

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

“My Co worker brought the blueberry yogurt cake into the office... OMG. It was light and fluffy and so fresh. The like chocolate name plate was the best chocolate I've ever tasted. I will be in soon, I'm planning my wedding as we speak!“

“Adorable little bakery tucked into an alleyway in Union Market. They're in the middle of the alley and impossible to spot (unless, as there often is, there's a line out the door), so it can feel a little sketchy to walk aimlessly through a random alleyway, but Bread Alley makes the walk super cute with a lovely string of arrows pointing you to their gorgeous black brick and wooden storefront.

They don't have a full-time cashier, so if you get to Bread Alley during one of their off-peak hours, you have to knock or ring the bell and wait for one of their bakers to come open the door for you. Once they do, you'll be welcomed into a cozy little shopping area with just a cash register, small pastry case (which just includes a few exemplary pastries -- the rest are in the back), and a wall of various types of bread. I didn't end up grabbing one of their breads, but I'll definitely have to make my way back for them; the harissa black sesame sourdough looked incredibly enticing, but I just, unfortunately, didn't have a need for a full loaf of bread at the time. However, I was in the mood for a sweet treat and decided to get a classic pain au chocolat. They don't have an indoor seating space, given their relatively barebones front-end, so I just ate my croissant as I walked home. It was a beautiful croissant, with a gorgeous lamination inside and nice glossy finish. It was a smidge too doughy for my taste, as I generally prefer really light and airy croissants, but it was still delicious.“

“So delish!!! Forgot to take any photos of our food except the bignets. But we ordered the biscuit & gravy, the breakfast sandwich with bacon, iced latte & a tea latte!
the bacon was super thick and delicious...of course the biscuits themselves were so so good. tea latte is a great option for those who don't want coffee, and the gravy is vegetarian & looks just like regular sausage gravy. 10/10 would recommend this place!!“

“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 ordered a cake on Thursday at 1 pm to be picked up 4:30 pm on Friday for a birthday party. The man who picked up the phone was so accommodating and made sure that the customized message had the correct spelling of my name. When the cake was picked up, the lady was extremely lovely and kind. 10/10 would recommend and will be buying another birthday cake (very soon) from this bakery. I have also visited this bakery before to buy a n emergency cake and they have lots in the display case available. Perfect, delicious cakes. The one I got (raspberry chocolate mouse) was semi sweet and light, good for adults.“

“Consistently delicious! Normally, I just go for the cookies, cronuts, and petit fours. This time we tried all things savory. We were invited to a German Christmas Market Themed party — very specific I know… Since it was a potluck, we decided to make currywurst. Heidelberg’s brats for the recipe were so good. We also grabbed their huge soft pretzel (yum) and their curry spread (double yum). Whether you go sweet or savory, you can’t go wrong. Love this bakery!“

“Absolutely delicious place! I had the turkey on ciabatta sandwich and the Parmesan cheesecake with figs. Both outstanding! Never had a savory cheesecake before and I will definitely be back for more! They were also so friendly and made my sandwich super fast“

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

“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!“

“My first visit, the shredded pork was super amazing and so was the Chinese Pizza with eggs. These are like appetizers. Went back for my birthday.... LOVE 💞 this spot, want to buy everything.“

“Oh my god! This place is a hidden gem in Rockville! I have had the pumpkin croissant with savory pumpkin filling, the kouign amann, raspberry tart, etc and each treat has me wanting to come back for another delicious morsel! I cannot wait to see and try what they come out next with their seasonal items for Christmas!“

“This bakery is absolutely phenomenal. I haven't found a single pastry or dessert here that I don't love—there's truly something for everyone to enjoy. Everything is made fresh in-house, and I especially love the window display where you can watch the employees making cakes, rolling dough, and prepping for the next day. The staff members are always friendly, making it a wonderful experience every time.“

“fire 🔥 bakery and exceptional treats. I have been spoiled on vacation from Alaska. I have ordered almost everything off the menu.... the Croissants are divine. 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 .“

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

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

“Great location. Worth the price! Friendly staff! Delicious food and drinks. Clean and welcoming establishment.“

“Washington rang me up and was so kind and you can tell he loves taking care of guests at Maman. The vanilla cloud cookie was so yummy along with Oprah’s fave - kitchen sink cookie. Such a treat if you’re looking for a mid-day lunch, coffee or a snack. They also have craft cocktails and a happy hour. Definitely check them out!“

“The best croissants I’ve ever had. They are very special and perfect to share with loved ones.“

“Never have I ever tasted such incredibly delicious Chocolate Pistachio Baklava!!! Parsa Bakery is a true McLean treasure from warm welcoming Sarah to the European Middle Eastern specialty items. The pastries are baked fresh daily on-site and you'll have to taste them to believe it!“

“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!“

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

“My Mom and I came here two mornings in a row. The food is delicious whether you’re eating in or on the go. We had an unfortunate situation with another customer who was rather rude and made everyone uncomfortable. Another customer stepped in as did some staff and luckily the situation resolved itself rather quickly. A staff member treated my Mom and I to a donut for each of us and was super apologetic for the unwanted excitement. Besides having good choices for breakfast, they have a nice staff and show that there’s still kindness in the world.“

“Delicious pastries and coffee, great vibe“

“I recently had my wedding cake made by Fluffy Thoughts and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their attention to detail was exceptional and they went above and beyond. They took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. They were even able to replicate our crest and put it on to the cake. The responsiveness of the team was remarkable; every question I had was answered promptly, and they made the entire process seamless. I felt supported every step of the way. Now, let's talk about the flavors! Fluffy Thoughts offers a creative selection that truly stands out. We opted for a mix of Candy Bar Crunch and Coffee in the Morning and our guests are still raving about how delicious the cake was. It was not only beautiful but also incredibly moist and flavorful. I highly recommend Fluffy Thoughts for anyone looking for a wedding cake that combines stunning design, excellent customer service, and unique flavors. They helped make our special day unforgettable!“

“Just found the place today. This is, without exaggeration or hyperbole, the best chicken pot pie I have ever had in my entire life. And THEN we had the Tart Cherry with flaky crust for dessert - if it’s not the best I’ve ever had, it’s in the top 3. WOW.“

“😍 the best ... super moist, delicious frosting 10/10!!“

“The first time I went to Levain Bakery ... I was in the Georgetown location, and I was concerned that this spot wouldn't be as good because you know, how could it be?

But let me tell you the Levain Bakery skills transfer ... These people can bake... I have never had a cookie like this... they are sooo delicious 🍪👩🏾‍🍳... I wish we had one of these in my town. The cookie is almost as big as a biscuit and the chocolate chip to cookie ratio is unbelievable.... It's quite amazing. I will never be afraid to walk into this store, no matter the location... Go there and eat all the delicious baked goods, you might need to hit the gym or fast the next day, but wow it's worth it no matter what!!!“

“Lots of desserts 🍮 🧁 🍨 and snacks“

“Nice place with a wonderful shady outdoor space. I didn’t try the pastry, being a contrarian, but had an omelet instead. It was served quickly and well prepared. Staff is friendly, the place is modern attractive, and appeared to be very clean.“
