Bakeries near Glen Echo

“This little bakery sits at the NPS Glen Echo Park site. It features drinks, sandwiches, and, of course, baked goods. I went with a pumpkin cookie and a lemon drop cookie - both amazing. Cost was $3 per cookie, so not the cheapest, but the quality was good and the location was magic. I was there at around 3, so there was not a lot of choices, but, again - those cookies were really good.“

“I loved this spot! We went around 4 PM on a Tuesday and it was lovely, quiet, and delicious. The staff clearly love being there and provided top notch service, with several recommendations. The not-pizza’s are pretty big, so one was enough to split when we ordered hummus, the carrots, and the olives too. We are so lucky to have this incredible Palestinian spot for delicious food, pastries, drinks, and even coffee!!“

“Amazing products! We showed up less than an hour until closing and they were out of only a few items.I was so excited to see Pandan, Mochi, and Ube on the menu! The kouign-amann was SO GOOD and crunchy/sweet/caramel/flaky. So worth the wait.The other patrons were in really nice and friendly!!“

“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!“

“Baked & Wired received so much attention from various websites and reviews - we had to pop by! Georgetown is known for its cupcakes, and I would like to know why!We visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We found the the line extending outside the store but it moved quickly. We used the time to visit its website for pictures and to make a decision (we would find later the staff was lacking warmth!)We ordered Strawberry and Vanilla Satin. While the strawberry was touted to be top seller, we found it was way too sweet. We shaved off the frosting and found a deliciously moist cupcake with a fragrant strawberry taste. Vanilla satin topped with dark chocolate proved to be a perfect pairing.Adequate seating in the cafe with one restroom at the back. Good for afternoon break while exploring Georgetown!Also bought home the granola which has a subtle hint of coconut. It was yummy but the hefty price tag $17.50 will mean not a second purchase…“

“The food was good, but definitely not worth $57 a person on a Thursday night….We ordered four dishes (fermented cabbage toast, arancini, thai fried chicken, and scallop crudo) and had a drink each. Portions were small, even the “entrees.” Will not go back anytime soon for dinner. Our waiter was very nice though.*Came back over a year later for dinner because of an InKind Coupon. The $50 off $50 made the meal more worth it. But still expensive for what youre getting.“

“One of the area's best bakeries! I make the effort to visit the variety of bakeries around this part of the county, and Mirabeau surely stands out as being one of the tastiest. Their attention to thick cakey goodness without over sweetening has me coming back for more.“

“We walked by this place not really looking to eat but the exterior stopped us in our tracks. We looked in and saw all the pastries and decided to make a quick pit stop. We got a Pistachio Meringue Roulette to share. Mistake. Should have gotten one for myself. The flavors work perfectly together. I also got the Strawberry Matcha to wash it all down and I’m still thinking about it. Wish they would bottle that stuff!“

“This location is a nice gem in Georgetown - I frequent here and treat myself when I want a delicious bake good - this past visit I had a delicious cinnamon bun - it was absolutely delicious and of course a nice cup of hot brew! Perfect location for the cookies as well - never too early or late in the afternoon for nice cup of coffee and a delicious bake good!“

“I had tons of gelato when I traveled to Italy with one of our favorite spots being Venchi. Since coming back, we've tried other gelato places but none have been anything like what we had there. Imagine how giddy I was to find out that the same Venchi was located in the States and close to my house!! We promptly tried the stracciatella ( my daughter's favorite) and it immediately took us back. It was rich, creamy, perfectly sweet, and delicious just like I remembered. We will definitely be back!“

“Stopped by for the first time and got the Normande tart. It was delicious. I also got a lemon cake, but we're saving it for later.The staff was friendly and very helpful. He recommended eating the tart a bit warm to really get the best flavor, and he was right. It tasted amazing.We ate the lemon cake for dessert, and it was very good.I will definitely be back to try the other pastries.“

“Amazing croissants. So flakey and full of wonderful filling. A great value! The mango pannacotta was amazing! The value for the price was fantastic as well! I briefly met the owner. The sweetest person you will ever meet! If I lived in town, I would be here ALL THE TIME!“

“Wow, I love this place and am counting down the days until my next visit! It's a good thing I don't live nearby or I would be here all the time! Pistachio croissant is amazing and coffee is on point! The staff is so wonderful too. Definitely pay them a visit if you can!“

“My beautiful grandson is in the NICU at the Children’s Hospital. Today as my daughter, her husband and grandmother arrived they were greeted with a delicious box lunch from your establishment. We’re not sure of the organization that gifted us this lunch so we say THANK YOU!“

“I visited the West End location with my husband while visiting DC and had a phenomenal experience. Aside from the food being absolutely to die for, the customer service is really what impressed me. At the register, we were greeted by an older black woman who was so kind to share suggestions and explain the menu to me despite being very busy. It truly made the ordering experience a breeze. My latte was delivered by a younger light skinned black male and I am not sure where he received his customer service training by but by far he’s got it down pat. After delivering my order he told me, “have a nice day, okay?” but it wasn’t just a pleasantry, it truly seemed like a genuine request. I am beyond impressed with the food, ambiance, and customer service provided!“

“Lovely little spot in Georgetown for authentic French baked goods. They use mostly French ingredients to get as close to the “real thing” as I’ve had in DC. Staff is friendly, efficient, and there is a nice patio in the back to enjoy your coffee.“

“One of the best relatively new Latin bakery in the local area; do not let the location throw you off. Staff is extremely hospitable. There is passion and pride behind their bake goods and that's what missing in a lot of similar bakeries.“

“It’s a cute, little bakery run by some lovely, wonderful people.I’m a pretty big guy who used to be overweight. My love for sugar is still very much present lol. That said, whenever I eat anything from here, I don’t feel that “guilt” or “shame” you feel when you prick up a candy bar.Everything that I’ve tried here is the perfect amount of sweet. Not too much, not too little. It will satisfy your sweet tooth without making your doctor cry at the amount of sugar you just ingested.It’s also very filling. I can easily eat 2-3 donuts from a donut shop. Meanwhile, I’ll be 3/4 of the way thru a pastry from this bakery and I’ll struggle to eat the rest. I want to eat the rest because they’re VERY delicious but it’s more than meets the eye.Also extremely well priced. The average for a single pastry or slice of cake seems to be right below $4 I think. Might be slightly off but the point is I didn’t feel like I was spending a lot. Again, for something that will fill a grown man up without being half your daily amount of calories in a single serving like some of these other sweets, this place is near impossible to beat.I love this place“

“They are a bit expensive but the cookies are incredible and the staff is superb.The staff really is great, they work hard and go the extra mile for customers.The location isn't great but that isn't their fault so be mindful that parking can be terrible for the antiqued poorly managed strip mall.“

“We really liked this Persian bakery. Good product selection with even better service. The lady working at the store was kind and patient, made good recommendations, and made us feel welcomed as first time customers. Can't wait to go back and try the cafe they will open next door in the comming weeks.“

“I've dropped by a couple times and have liked the sponge and cream cakes. Today stopped with a friend who needs to get out more - we had tamales and coffee and OMG!Sweet Cheese Bread which is actually a thin layer of sponge cake with a slightly thicker layer of cheese cake. Not too sweet, unusual enough to elicit comment over coffee, and I bought what they had left to share with friends.The tamales were good, served with refreshing rajas garnish. Also got some Bolillos to turn into tortas at home. The staff are LOVELY and the customers-only restroom is CLEAN. Altogether cozy enuf for early morning breakfast lunch (they serve breakfast) at 5:30 - a rare thing for the area.“

“I came here about a month ago to get some pretzels to take to a picnic with friends. It was excellent! From the easy ordering and pick-up to the friendly owner, who generously added a “pretzel for the road” as to not disturb the beautifully labeled and packed box), it was a great experience. The pretzels were warm, fresh, and everything you want in a pretzel! We tried all of the flavors that they had and they all were delicious. I froze the few leftovers I had, so I could warm them up and enjoy them later (it didn’t last more than a few days!). Next time I plan to try their pretzel rolls. Try them, you won’t be disappointed!Kid-friendliness: Pick-up, the perfect kid snack!“

“We had our gender reveal cake made here and it was absolutely everything we hoped for! They did it exactly how it was requested and we couldn’t be happier with how our gender reveal went. Cake was delicious, would recommend! Thank you Pastries by Randolph for the wonderful experience <3“

“Chocolate pistachio croissant - 5 stars. so good and will be returning for this. Any place that has pistachio pastries is a place for me. Morning bun - very flavorful (cardamom & lemon) but a bit too dry for me. 3 stars Espresso & tonic - I did not like this at all, and will definitely get a safer drink option next time. There was a line at 130pm which I was surprised about, but it moved very quickly and we had no trouble finding a seat. Cute place, will be returning!“

“The selection is limited, but their breads are incredible. The cranberry walnut bread is the same bread found at le diplomate. My favorite bread is the black sesame harissa. Expect to wait in line. Only about three people fit in the store at a time, but it’s worth it.“

“This place is a neighborhood classic. They keep the prices low (by Arlington standards) and the decor is awesome "mom's kitchen throwback". May it never, never change. I don't love everything they make, but since they make about 87,000 different things, you can find something. Their emphasis is old style German baking with Christian and Jewish calendar seasonal flourishes. This is, for instance, the first place I ever had a "hot cross bun"-- like in the children's poems. (They had them for Easter). And they have a great sandwich bar where I always get egg salad. The quiches are good too. They have coffee and real German sausages that look delicious too. And a nice seating area in front of a huge window. There's always room. So basically, you could spend all day here eating, drinking coffee, reading, looking out the window, and planning your next meal. That would be a great day. (PS: parking is annoying but do-able)“

“Cute little coffee shop with the flakiest chocolate croissant I’ve ever had! Got there a few minutes after opening and picked up a still warm chocolate croissant, mango danish, and spinach feta danish? or croissant ?… can’t remember… Would definitely come back to try the other pastries !“

“The food was really good - couldn’t be faulted! Service was excellent too.My only gripe was the amount of single use plastic items in the cafe. Everything from the plate to the cup to the cutlery was disposable. We need to do better by our planet.“

“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.“

“Local coffee shop with top tier coffee made to order and some selection of French/Italian pastries.Their packaging is actually sustainable and not pretending to be "green", which I greatly appreciate. Their coffee is top tier and so are their pastries. My personal favorite is their banana bread and almond croissant.They are always busy, so keep that in mind when visiting. Getting to sit here seems like a privilege!“

“I had to pick up items for a work breakfast the following morning to accommodate some attendees gluten sensitivites. As I walked in, tge glass case proudly displayed the beautiful offerings and I only wish I could have tasted everything. While there, I purchased a savory mushroom turnover, latte, and a chocolate heart cheesecake. The turnover was delicious. The pastry was flaky, savory, and mouthwatering. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker, and the kind lady that waited on me suggested the latte. Her assistant made a beautiful heart pattern with the frothed cream and it was delicious. I had the cheesecake dessert in the afternoon. It was not overly sweet like many. It was a good balance. I highly recommend the pastries and latte and will go back to try other itens. Definitely give this bakery a try.“

“10/10.Very cozy place. You have to queue because it is always full. But I'm not surprised, since the food they make is incredible.The sandwiches left me speechless, to say they were good is a huge understatement.The hot chocolate they serve was also delicious. Ideal to warm up on cold days.I would definitely return to Washington just to have breakfast here.Great!!“

“This place is dangerously close to our place and my partner and I are obsessed. The raspberry and apricot cakes are unbelievably good--and I'm not even a fruity dessert gal. The chocolate cake is the best in DC and I'm dying to try the coconut almond one they have, but it's only for special order. Can't wait for the next occasion! Also, the woman who is usually behind the counter is always patient with me as I struggle to make my mind up about which slice to order every time! I <3 Sharbat!!“

“I love this bakery! Since, the first visit everything I have ever ordered has been fresh, well prepared and delicious! I love the teas, coffees, sandwiches and of course the dessert!! I travel out to them every year to get a cake on my birthday. That is how amazing they are.“

“I've only had a couple of the sandwiches here, but they were superb, as good as any I've had. Very generous portions of top quality meat on bread that was fresh and delicious, as were the other toppings.Prices are quite reasonable, especially for an upscale business park location. Plenty of easily accessible parking, with a lovely landscaped plaza to view out the windows, or sit in, or walk around. I'll be back.“

“We couldn’t resist! Everything was delicious and unique! My son’s favorite was the strawberry cream filled pastry and mine are the black sesame bun (not pictured, devoured) and the tahini cookie AND the truffle and ham pastry. Parking at the National Building Museum where their pop-up is was easy! Seriously, you’ve GOT to give their pastries a try!“

“This place quickly became one of my favorites since moving to Maryland, and I would consider it a neighborhood gem. The service is great, the food is always fresh and delicious. Seating can be limited but they accommodate as quickly as possible in the bar area. Tables can be reserved ahead. I absolutely love their rum bun bread pudding as a dessert to go. Fresh oysters and their seafood bisque is an order for me every time.“

“Outstanding organic breads and artisan pastries (Viennoiserie are tops!) make Fresh Baguette a go-to to enjoy exemplary French bakery treats, especially the savory Crogel (croissant sandwiches) and seasonal offerings like the Passion Fruit Croissant (summer) and the Pumpkin Cruffin (hybrid of croissant in a muffin shape during the autumn)! Gary leads a team of very personable and courteous staff that makes the Bethesda location a true star versus the occasionally brusque Rockville spot.Vegetarian options: As with most bakeries, the majority of options don't include meat.Parking: There are 2 spots in front of the bakery with a third one sometimes available and one more that is a temporary standing zone.Kid-friendliness: Wholesome treats that are attractive to burgeoning and refine palates alike!“

“A bakery that offers fresh baked goods, delicious sandwiches, and other types of hot and cold drinks. There is also a refrigerator that serves types of fresh fruits and yogurt with oats. The product prices are average, suitable for all groups. The workers are friendly. I recommend visiting it.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The bakery items are so wonderfully delicious. The girls behind the counter go above and beyond being helpful. If the weather would have been just a few degrees warmer we would have eaten out on the little patio they have. But even the small seating area is comfy with little two top tables.“

“Fantastic addition to the neighborhood! Everything I’ve tried so far has been good (mini pain au Chocolat, quiche, various pastries) if not great (buche de Noel, macarons, baguette sandwiches). The service is friendly, competent and efficient.I only wish they would use reusable dishes, mugs, and cutlery for dine in orders. Not only is it better for the planet and people, but it’s a better dining experience. They do allow for bring your own mug though, which I appreciate and use.“

“I decided to come here since I wanted a pretzel and it did not disappoint. It is a small place with only a couple of seats. I got the sweet pretzel and it seemed like a normal size for one person. It had a nice glaze on it and was super tasty. I would definitely go back and try another one, especially for the price. If you are craving a pretzel this place will satisfy your needs.“

“New location is much bigger and has a large selection of bread and pastries. Cream puff is pretty good (mostly whipped cream, would be nice to have some creme patisserie mixed in) but the main star are the baked breads. The taro bread and pineapple bread were amazing even after bring reheated. Will come back again soon!“

“I got the chocolate croissant, and was really surprised when I realized it was a whole wheat croissant. The first whole wheat croissant I've ever had, and it really adds a nice nutty flavor to the croissant. The texture of the inside is also a bit chewier than your average croissant, with a lovely crisp on the outside. I just wish there was a bit more chocolate, but the croissant itself was wonderful, and I'm super glad I got to try the whole wheat. I also got a cortado, which was just ok. This is definitely a bakery first, so would highly recommend stopping by and grabbing some of the pastries!“

“Such a a great company with such a great product. The customer service was chef’s kiss! I gave them an idea of what I wanted, a few I spo pics and they hit it out of the park! I used these for a corporate event and it was a higher hit! Not only are they cute but they are SO yummy! Definitely using them again!“

“Smiles all around! From the second you walk in the door you'll see why it's impossible NOT to smile. Ask the super nice staff for recommendations from the endless selection of baklavas and sweet treats. Kanafa will change your life...imagine honey drenched pancake with sweet melted cheese. Lebanese ashtaf chewy ice cream is like frozen Turkish delight. The small cup is perfect with up to three flavors. Add whatever flavors are on special to your ashtaf. I'll be back for the Pasha Special - baklava stuffed with ashtaf ?“

“Highly recommend! Sweet Pia is a local baker in Alexandria. Sometimes I get overwhelmed placing an order, but not with her system. The cake and cookie forms are both straight forward and thorough. She’s very responsive and gets back to you within 2-3 days (as mentioned on the forms). My experience was wonderful from start to finish. I had a last minute change in my schedule that caused a conflict with my original pick up date. I immediately reached out to her explaining my situation. She was friendly, understanding and flexible. My niece’s 8th birthday party was under the sea themed. I ordered the medium sized lemon raspberry cake flavor, vanilla buttercream and raspberry curd filling along with a dozen regular sized and mini sized vanilla-almond cookies. The cake was moist, firm and the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The cookies were whimsical to look at, they were absolutely delicious. The hint of vanilla-almond flavor made it even more tasty than the everyday sugar cookie. Also, the cookie was baked to perfection. It wasn't crumbly or overly crispy. It had an amazing consistency that seemed to almost want to melt in your mouth. Everything was beautifully decorated!“

“Great selection of Filipino baked goods, and an Ube and Pandan-lover’s dream.The donut was fresh, with a nice crust. The cream was smooth and light, though the pandan flavour was quite subtle.I loved the Baked Siaopao, a slightly flaky bread filled with pulled pork and egg.I bought the Ube Pan de Sal as well, and am so excited to try it!“

“A bakery that offers a variety of vegan desserts alongside regular options. I tried its cookies, cakes, and other baked goods with coffee, and they are so good, though some of them are too sweet for my taste. Overall, it's a good bakeshop.“
