50 Best Bakeries near Forestville

“I went here for a last minute birthday cake run. They have a round cake and sheet cake available. My expectation was minimum due to the cake being a window cake, but I couldn't be any more wrong. The cake was delicious! The icing wasn't too sweet. The celebrant and guests loved it. The service was also very pleasant. Highly recommended!“

“My experience with the Dessert Junkie was absolutely amazing. I had a catered event this past weekend. The setup was seamless, and the food was delicious. My guests loved how everything looked so appealing… did I mention delicious 😋. I will definitely call on the Dessert Junkie again. Thanks, Teressa“

“I love to try the best bakeries around the world and Bread Alley’s quality is definitely world class.

The harissa sourdough with black sesame crust was one of the best sourdoughs I’ve had in the US. Same for the almond croissant - insanely crunchy, buttery, not too sweet, with an almost custard like almond paste (devoured before we took a photo).“

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at DeeDee Delights! She was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful that I was nearly left speechless.

My brother and his wife are newlyweds who are soon welcoming their first child. With many family members far away, I wanted them to have the best gender reveal possible—and that meant a cake. I wasn’t sure what could be done on such short notice, but DeeDee made it happen! She gave me the most cute and beautiful cake for us to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our bundle of joy. She truly made our day :).“

“I’ve been buying my bread here since moving into the area and I’ve always had very positive interactions with staff. Their treats are very good, I recommend the polish apple slices and brownies and I’ve not had a sandwich there yet that I didn’t enjoy. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality. Glad to have this in my backyard.“

“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!“

“Great coffee and pastries, conveniently located near the hotel we were staying at. Inside was beautiful, and service was very good. My only complaint was that my quiche Ella (cheddar cheese, leaks, caramelized onions), was almost too sweet. Not sure if that was just the onions, though. Delicious croissants.“

“Randomly stumbled across this great restaurant with amazing food and service. You can tell this food is make with love and that’s what I like. If you’re getting breakfast I recommend getting the French toast platter, also if you don’t eat pork this is a great place that has turkey alternatives.“

“This place was amazing! Thank you to Aster (the owner family) and the chef for this amazing recommendation and preparation. Right amount of taste, protein, and calories!
Tibs kinche (beef with cracked wheat)

Also gave me great recommendations for opportunities and connections!

Can’t wait to come back when I visit again!“

“Amazing service. 10/10. Communication was very easy & the quality of the bread was so authentic. I will be returning anytime I am in the DC area. Thank you so much!“

“It breaks my heart that they open only one day of the week because everything is amazing and at a great price. An inversor should take this place back to the glory! Avery bakery in the area made the same things… this is the only one with international variety!“

“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.“

“Simona Cafe in NoMa is a gem. Keith and Corey delivered standout hospitality, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely personable from the moment I walked in. The coffee is high quality and tastes as good as it smells because I’m picky like every other human with opinions lol

I ordered the Nova and it was the perfect breakfast bite: fresh, flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what I wanted without feeling heavy. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place you actually want to sit for a bit instead of sprinting out with your cup.

Highly recommend Simona Cafe. I’ll be back, and I’d absolutely point friends to this spot!“

“I had the most Beautiful cake made by LadyBSweets. Everyone complimented on how Beautiful and Amazing it was. Plus it was Soo Delicious! Truly a Blessing to find LadyBSweets!“

“Delicious cookies. The Dubai chocolate cookie is outstanding!“

“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....“

“Clements did our wedding cake 44 years ago, and cakes since then for our children's graduations. Two years ago they did our daughter's wedding cake as well as cannoli and apple pie. And now they will do a cake for our daughter's baby shower. The best in town! Nick and Genine V.“

“Me encantan desde años mis favoritos“

“Great bread most of all, but also, the support that I felt during this current government furlough. Thank you very much, Lyon! :)“

“Joella’s is my go to for desserts and treats! I have used them for birthday parties, bridal showers, gender reveals, and baby showers, and the desserts are always delicious and I receive so many compliments from guests. The owner, Lynette, is very creative with her designs and willing to match your theme. My favorite desserts are the lemon cupcakes, the 7-up pound cake and the variety of cake pops. Excellent customer service and even better desserts!“

“Blown away by the quality of the pastries at this bakery. I was looking to make a quick stop before going to my in laws, so I went there and bought pastries, I was expecting a high bill and boom for 8 pastries I paid about $9 ! Let me tell you how shocked I was! I thought it was a prank or a joke.

Its super affordable , staff was nice and helpful. The only downside is that a box is $3 which is a lot . But i truly enjoyed the pastries with my family.

Seems like one can order birthday cakes there too. They accept payment by phones too . Parking is great since it’s in a shopping center. My favorite pastries was a kind of big donut sandwich with custard in the middle.“

“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.“

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

“I love this place. So many people are always begging for affordable great local small business options. This is it. Bagel was great and the chive dill cream cheese with my lox was fantastic. It's part of me and my families weekend routine.“

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

“This little shop is mighty, and its owner Catherine is so lovely! GBBO fans will be delighted that, yes, THIS is the place where you can find a cherry bakewell (#IYKYK). Be sure to ask if there are any savory offerings in the back - I recently had a terrific mushroom and spinach tart that convinces me that I should just buy whatever savory offering is on deck.I can't wait till afternoon tea service is available. I'll definitely be there.“

“Buen servicio buenos productos“

“My girlfriend and I love the atmosphere here. All the baristas, especially Diego, always have such a good attitude and make you feel like you're in your own home when you walk in.

A big thank you to Diego for always welcoming us and giving us (and our dog) great service whenever we go!“

“I just love the vibe of the store“
