“Bread, pies, cookies, pastries, special confections & holiday treats - all wonderful! 🤩“

“Donut King saved the day for me today! I was in search of Wi-Fi for an important work meeting after my power went out due to the snow storm. I decided to walk 1.5 miles in the snow to the Starbucks nearby only to be turned away as they were only taking drive-through customers. Thankfully I decided to walk around the corner and found Donut King was open with free Wi-Fi! The employees were so nice and friendly despite the cold. I ordered a cappuccino and logged onto my computer just in time for my meeting. My coffee was hand delivered, along with several donuts on the house, which turned out to be the only food I had for much of the day. This was an unexpected and delightful treat. Thank you, Donut King, for making my day!! I hope others will read this review and give this place a try. The food is great and the warm and welcoming atmosphere is hard to find these days. This is a neighborhood gem!! Please support local businesses and give this place a try.“

“Hot and cold sandwiches, large selection of beer and wine. You can also buy cheese, side salads, slices of cake, pastries, coffee and soft serve. Oh and they have a great selection of cards. Friendly young staff. It’s local and I love it.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“the sweet pasties here are phenomenal, as is their classic viet coffee. the savory pasties, especially the breakfast items are bland and underwhelming. consider adding a special sauce maybe? service is prompt and somehow always find a place to sit even tho its packed.“

“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!“

“Classic Bakery made a delicious and beautiful birthday cake for a special birthday celebration!! My lactose free requedt was honored and handled with care. My friend was delighted with her birthday surprise. Thank you, ɔBakery“

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

“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 .“

“Huge cookie! And they are delicious. I couldn't eat one in a sitting but it was nice to get essentially two cookies for one. The cookies were really good nailing the texture, and sweetness. My oatmeal raisin cookie had the perfect reason to cookie ratio, I can tell they spent time in the lab on that one. If you're walking M street after a good meal this is a place that I'd recommend stopping into for a nice dessert.“

“There was a short wait of ~10 minutes, but that is an easy trade-off and no surprise for the quality of our experience. We arrived right at the breakfast/lunch transition during the week and had the best bialy with salmon and herb cream cheese along with some sweet baked goods, morning bun and ginger molasses cookies. We dined in with some coffees and the staff brought out cold waters without any prompting. Clean seating, bathrooms and friendly faces completed the positive atmosphere. Come for the food, stay for the service and rest assured, the line is worth the wait.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Charming bakery with not-too-sweet-desserts. Delicious tiramisu - this cake was gone minutes after blowing out the candles!

The owners had great communication for placing and picking up a full cake order. A special thank you for taking on my special request to decorate the cake with Russian writing! It came out perfectly beautiful and made my mom very happy :)“

“Stopped by after seeing high reviews. The atmosphere of the place is really nice. There’s quiet spaces to study. There’s cute little gifts you can purchase. However, the pistachio chocolate croissant I tried wasn’t good. I don’t like the taste of pistachio paste. Also it wasn’t fresh.“

“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!“

“Delicious cookies and always friendly staff. Great for celebrations or just a treat to brighten your or someone else’s day! Something for everyone’s taste. There are a few regular flavors (sugar, chocolate chip…) and then 4 or more other flavors that change each week. I recommend placing your order on the app. You’ll get points toward free cookies and a cookie on your bday.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere. Miguel was the best! Would visit again!“

“Delicious sweet treats and great savory breakfast / lunch options too. The baleada - delicious stretchy tortilla over eggs, refried beans, avocado - was perfect paired with a latte. Seating for maybe 20ish in a bright comfy space, but it can get a little tight during busier periods“

“Bread Alley is a handy bakery for picking up fresh bread and a pastry or two. I went in during the morning and tried a savory pastry along with one of their breads. The pastry had a flaky exterior and a good amount of filling, while the bread had a crisp crust and soft center. The selection was varied enough to find something for breakfast or to take home.“

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

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

“Perfect for a quick coffee and croissant, or for sitting down and getting some work done. It’s conveniently located near the garage and Rockville Memorial Library. They also have birthday cakes! The prices are very reasonable, and I loved their coffee and pain au chocolat! 🙏“

“The pastry selection at Paris Baguette made it easy to put together a little breakfast spread. We tried the almond croissant, ham and cheese pastry, and a slice of strawberry cake. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers with a sweet almond filling, while the ham and cheese pastry was savory and filling. The strawberry cake was light with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything looked fresh, and the variety made it easy to find something for everyone.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“Awesome service and food.“

“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 .“

“Delicious, fresh French pastry, ambient atmosphere and super friendly owner!“

“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.“

“Trader Joe’s stopped carrying their Morning Glory muffins during Covid and I have been so sad but I discovered Sunflower Bakery and theirs are amazing!!!! Thank you I am so happy!!!!!“

“Sonia was so wonderful to work with for our wedding. We requested a smaller cake for the cake-cutting portion and sheet cakes for our guests. We loved the vanilla cake, buttercream frosting, and raspberry jam filling. She created a beautiful cake that both matched our aesthetic and was so delicious I still have friends coming up to me asking for a reminder of who the baker was! It was a hit with both our vegan and non-vegan guests. I highly recommend All American Vegan for your next event.“

“Love this coffee shop! I love local owned coffee shops, and this is a gem in MoCo, where it can be difficult to find coffee shops that are not chains. The pastries are magnificent and the coffee is great! I have both dined in and done take out, and never had a bad experience. They are also dog friendly!“

“first time here, the staff was very welcoming. food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more items“

“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!“

“This new spot in Tysons Corner is a gem. The chef is the owner they make gourmet handmade desserts whether it’s fresh baklava or Opera cake or tiramisu fresh croissants Not to mention eclair they do Maid to order birthday cakes event events highly recommend them. They’re right across the street from the Westin hotel. He sells out quickly“

“My coworkers loved the pastries! Thank you!“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“The cinnamon rolls are so amazing. Tasted like the real (gluten) thing. I’m very picky with cinnamon rolls and I read other reviews so the expectation was high, but it exceeded my expectations. I was so happy to see the large menu and so many options“

“This is one of my favorite bakeries in the area. I mean truth be told, I live in Bowie Maryland and travel to Arlington specifically for this bakery. If you live in the DMV, then you know how significant this is.

Excellent selection and the quality, taste are incredible.“

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

“Jose was amazing! His service was really great, and he was so friendly and attentive. The matchas he made were SO good honestly some of the best I’ve had! You can tell he really cares about what he does. Definitely recommend! 💚✨“

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

“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.“

“Dakota and her colleagues clearly work their hardest at an often packed Maman location. While sometimes an overwhelming crowd might cause slight delays, it’s reasonable and worth the wait given the care with which the staff treats the prep of food and drinks. I keep coming back. Thanks for looking out for me when I dropped my coffee as well…“

“Nums Yums provides delicious high quality baking! I was very happy with my recent order. Numrah goes above and beyond to make sure each order is handled promptly and with care.“
