44 Best Bakeries near Clinton

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Visited a second time after my first visit over a year ago when everything was out of stock.

A Redditor’s comment describing the Kouign amann bringing tears to their eyes was the pull. And it really is quite fantastic: flaky, soft layers, a crunchy top helped along by the crystallized sugar, instead of the usual syrupy finish I’ve found at other bakeries in the city. It’s not too sweet, and has a slight saltiness from the butter.

It’s a little smaller, more akin to a kouignette, and comes to around $5.80 with taxes, which is on the pricier side.“

“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!“

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

“Amazing cakes and baked treats! The best!“

“I grew up in Waldorf and may have skipped school just for an eclair… I pick some up every chance I get.“

“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 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.“

“not only was the cake stunning, it was absolutely delicious!!!“

“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!“

“Stopped in for a mocha breve. It was exceptionally good. I didn't have to ask for them to make is half sweet or anything. They use the perfect amount of chocolate. The half and half was steamed perfectly and not overdone. If I had known this coffee shop was here a year ago I would have come to is more. It's right beside Prose and Politics.

I also purchased the brown butter financiers which also were gluten free. They were delicious and even kid approved. Highly recommend them for coffee and pastries.

As far as seating, it's very minimalist. Not a place I'd want to come hang out. Maybe grab the coffee and find more comfortable seating outside. Otherwise, way above average coffee and pastries.“

“yesss I highly recommend L A Baked Sweets I've ordered more than one occasion from this business. Ashley the owner very professional and has good customer service. Communication is on point which is very important to the business. PROFESSIONAL✴✴✴✴✴ CUSTOMER SERVICE✴✴✴✴✴ COMMUNICATION✴✴✴✴✴ TASTE✴✴✴✴✴ MOIST✴✴✴✴✴“

“Iverson Cookies IS The Great Cookie! In fact the greatest cookie! It’s one of the best I’ve ever had. Every cookie is perfectly balanced between crunchiness and chewiness. It’s truly the best of both worlds and a one of a kind cookie. The prices are fair and it’s impossible to just eat ONE! The flavor and texture is always consistent and never disappoints. Great customer service and cookies are even greater!“

“Last Saturday morning, my husband and I jumped in the car at 6:35 AM and drove to the Catania Bakery at 1404 North Capitol Street, NW in DC. We'd just found out his grandfather had worked there when he registered for the WWII draft in 1942 (he was a 60 year old Sicilian baker at the time). We are both half Sicilian American and know what real Sicilian American baked goods taste like, .

Anyway, I looked them up on the internet when we found the draft regis. card and fully expected to find zip. To my amazement the bakery is still there and still family owned, and still using the same recipe to make the bread. They switched to selling wholesale to restaurants and stores several decades ago, but are still open to the general public from 7:30 AM to noon on Saturdays. So, we hightailed it down there.

The owner personally sells the baked goods at a counter from the turn of the 1900's at the front of the old bakery. We bought a big sample of goodies to try them out -
- 4 big loaves of Italian bread (which my mom said was the same taste and texture as the bread made by her Sicilian grandfather in his bakery in Corona, NY from the 1920's to the 1950's)
- 1 loaf of Sicilian Easter bread (seasonal)
- 9 five-inch long, par-baked sfogliatelle (you finish baking them at home for 30 minutes in a 350F oven)
- and 6 bags of cookies (each bag contained about 20-24 good sized cookies). 1 bag each of anise almond biscotti, pignola cookies, pistachio cookies, coconut macaroons, anise cookies with anise icing, lemon cookies with lemon icing

I'm thrilled to report that everything was incredibly delicious. The Real Deal. Unbelievable. My 91 year old 1st generation Sicilian American mom, who is the ultimate judge on whether Sicilian baked goods are legit, gave them her stamp of approval, which is so rare it's ridiculous. We're definitely going back, a lot. At that hour of the morning on a Sat. the trip to the bakery took just 25 minutes or less. We parked right on the side street, tho we could have aslo parked right in front on N. Capitol St. Parking was no problem. At 7:30 there wasn't a line, so we got in right away. The storefront and the inside of the bakery are old and careworn, but the baked goods are perfection. You can't even find the real thing on Long Island anymore. The Sicilian bakeries up there have closed, sold to new owners, or cheaped out - they all use cheap ingredients, but NOT THIS PLACE. It's still family owned, flavors are pure, the bread crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, and the pastries don't leave an oil slick on the roof of your mouth.

If you want to experience real Sicilian baked goods the way they used to be made by the first 2 generations who to came to America, then take a trip down there and get ready to be amazed.“

“The young lady serving us was very helpful and knew all she needed to serve us quickly and professionally. The gelato was exceptional!!“

“I was looking for a spot to chill, enjoy coffee, and get some work done on my laptop. Thankfully, I stumbled upon this place. The walnut, chocolate chip cookie was fire 🔥🍪, the orange blossom latte was on point, and the music selection fit the vibe perfectly. Dennis kindly welcomed me from behind the counter as a first time visitor/guest and made me feel welcomed & shared great recommendations.“

“Excellent lunch. French onion soup to die for.“

“The Pound Cakes are known for their rich, buttery flavor, moist texture, and perfectly balanced sweetness—delivering that classic, comforting taste with every bite. Whether you’re indulging in a signature favorite like the beloved 7-Up pound cake or exploring new flavor creations, every cake is baked with premium ingredients and a commitment to quality you can taste. What sets Joella’s pound cakes apart is the love poured into each one. From mixing to baking to presentation, every detail matters. These cakes aren’t just made—they’re thoughtfully created to bring people together, spark joy, and turn everyday moments into something special.“

“It’s a wonderful experience! The food, drink, and dessert are all prefect. Moreover, there is a great thing I must need to share: Although I fall down suddenly in the store, which is basically my own fault, the manager comes to kindly check if I’m okay super quickly. Additionally, he professionally asked if I need any help and offer some towel and some bread to comfort me. That’s the kindest and most professional manager I’ve ever met in America!“

“Since relocating from NYC, I wasn't able to find any Sweet Potatoe Pies in the DMV that could measure up to the Pies I would purchase from Whimpies, a family owned bakery in Harlem (nolonger in business).
That is, until I stumbled upon "Uncle Paul's Pies" two years ago.
Can I say "Scrumptious". Definitely a customer for life....“

“THE BEST CAKES EVER! Tastes SO good!“

“I had a beautiful orange vhs cake for my 90's theme birthday thanks to Debolicious Desserts! It was fun to look at and delicious to eat. I received many compliments on my cake. 10/10! Thank you Debolicious Desserts for helping to make my birthday so amazing! ♥️“

“I had a great experience at this breakfast coffee shop. From the moment I walked in, the customer service stood out. The staff genuinely cares about making sure you have a good experience, and they take the time to listen to your order and make it just right.

What I really appreciated was how personal the service felt. If you’re not sure what to order, they’re more than happy to give suggestions and help you find something you’ll love. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food and coffee, and it shows in the final product.

The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is thoughtful, and the food and coffee are excellent. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend stopping by if you want a great breakfast and a team that truly cares about their customers.“

“I’ve been here a few times and it’s always been a pleasure. The outstanding pastries keep my sweet tooth pleased and this young man jaemin i believe he’s the barista is always a great person to chat with while i’m getting snacks. This is definitely a must try for anyone in the area.“

“I just love the vibe of the store“

“We’ve seen Panorama’s treats at our local weekend farmers market in Fairfax and have enjoyed everything we’ve tried so far. The setup is always excellent, the team is always nice, and the treats are always delicious! We are looking forward to trying their sourdough loaf next.“

“Amazing customer service to go along with these AMAZING Desserts!!!“

“I contacted Ms Raven the day before due to my original stylist getting sick. She not only accommodated me but she slayed my locs, did not double book me, and I was in and out as planned! My hair was beautiful for my birthday party and I received sooo many compliments!“

“🤩 we made a mistake and only bought one cake in a jar. It was destroyed within seconds. So good.“

“We love this place! GREAT food, GREAT menu items, GREAT staff, and GREAT atmosphere! I highly recommend!“

“This place is perfectly situated next to the Farragut North metro making it super convenient for me when I need to come downtown. I can grab a quick oatmeal or a lemon blueberry scone, accompanied by an expertly made latte. To top it off the service is great, JC is the best! He was very attentive and made my experience during my visit more comfortable! If you’re in a rush or just want to chill and read for a moment this is a good place to check out.“

“I had the pleasure of having my birthday cake designed and made by The Bakers Lounge! 10/10 recommend! Not only was it beautiful it was delicious! Everyone loved it. I didn't even have any leftover to take home :-( However, I will be ordering again!“

“Veracruzana Bakery in Waldorf deserves 5 stars. It’s super clean, fast-casual, and has a great selection of traditional Mexican pan dulce plus antojitos, so you can stop in for something sweet or a quick savory bite.[yelp +3]
The food is good, the service is quick, and the whole experience feels easy and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that works well whether you want bread, breakfast, lunch, or just a fast stop for something fresh and tasty.[instagram +4]
Overall, this is a great local spot that does a nice job with quality, speed, and cleanliness“

“Went here for the first time today and I fell in love. I highly recommend“

“Been looking for quality Italian bread since I got back from Italy. By chance walked by this place and saw a sign for Italian bread and the loaf was huge. Well it was fresh and delicious. Had to buy 2 when I returned. I tried their chocolate pastry and they use a better chocolate than most places that make chocolate croissants. The owner and staff were very nice. And bonus is that they hire Filipino staff including the baker. My kababayans!!“
