“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❤️“

“Great atmosphere this Sunday! Cute layout of shared larger tables and smaller personal tables. So many pastries to choose! Also got the coconut cold foam from their spring specials menu — also very good. Really liked the quiche interior, the crust was a little burnt but overall great experience!“

Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for amazing coffee and an even better vibe!“

“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.“

“I enjoyed this place. A-. The food was good, although ordering was a little confusing. I had a Jerusalem bagel which I've never had before, but enjoyed it very much. It's a busy place so be prepared to have to figure out how to do the ordering and then getting a seat. If I lived locally I would eat at this place a lot.“

“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.“

“Best coffee I ever had. I recommend the Fall Oat boy hot coffee and the DMV breafast sandwich. My brother Mark hooked me up with this place. He's a regular and the know him by name. I can work remotely here with great Wi-Fi. Five stars to the staff at conneticut ave. Cindy, Ashley, JC and Ethan are all great.“

“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.“

“THE BEST CAKES EVER! Tastes SO good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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....“

“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“

“I just love the vibe of the store“

“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.“

“This was the best coffee we had in DC. The drip coffee was solid, the vanilla latte and mocha were also excellent. Great staff and the owner was very nice. Best coffee in DC!“

“The Bakers Lounge delivered masterfully for my wife's birthday! She loves cake and only eats it on special occasions, and I was anxious to try a new bakery for our visit to DC this past weekend. They decorated the raspberry truffle cake in a vintage style per my request - totally nailed it - and delivered it to our hotel for when we arrived. The cake was scrumptious and beautiful! I highly recommend them for any cake occasion.“

“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!!“

“The breakfast was great. We had an omelet and and quiche. The chocolate croissants were a hit also.“

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

“Cher mais excellent, un petit bout de Belgique aux usa.“

“Always enjoy an afternoon getting work done here. Different seating areas to choose from whether you want shade or sun. Generally enough outlets to keep devices charged.

The Roasted Salmon Sandwich - A really good balance of flavor. The perfect size meal.“

“Fantastic atmosphere to eat brunch and enjoy watching people on the busy street“

“Welcoming & Friendly Staff! I ordered two meals and a few sides and a dessert all was flavorful and tasty. I will be back 😉“
