Bakeries near National Harbor

“Located in Tanger Outlets, it’s just the break you need in between your shopping spree.
The cinnamon bites and pretzel bites (hotdog) are my favourites. They also have pepperoni. Pair your pretzels or bites with their signature lemonade or another of their featured drinks.

Vegetarian options: The cinnamon ones are vegetarían

Parking: There’s parking at the outlets

Kid-friendliness: Of course kids love pretzels and nuggets.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“Couldn’t recommend it more, must visit if you’re passing through the neighborhood like I was. Got a pineapple cream amman (one of the specials) and it was super fresh, with bright flavors and great balance. I also got a Vietnamese coffee which was just as good—rich, sweet, and STRONG. Fabulous!
The service was great too, super nice people and the line moved pretty quick for a busy Sunday morning.“

“This was my first time trying their cookie. I was told by someone that they were too sweet. I tried their oatmeal cookie with raisin and it was delicious. One of the best cookies I've ever had. It was not too sweet at all. Full of flavor , crispy on the outside and chewie on the inside. Unfortunately I didn't get to try other flavors so I can't comment on them but I look forward next time I get a chance.“

“By far our FAVORITE cookies!! All the flavors we’ve tried are AMAZING!! They are huge, not super sweet, soft & delicious! Took them to our last tailgate and the college kids ate 8 monster cookies!! Loved them! They were a hit!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“So delish!!! Forgot to take any photos of our food except the bignets. But we ordered the biscuit & gravy, the breakfast sandwich with bacon, iced latte & a tea latte!
the bacon was super thick and delicious...of course the biscuits themselves were so so good. tea latte is a great option for those who don't want coffee, and the gravy is vegetarian & looks just like regular sausage gravy. 10/10 would recommend this place!!“

“Food was very good and wonderful servers.“

“Adorable little bakery tucked into an alleyway in Union Market. They're in the middle of the alley and impossible to spot (unless, as there often is, there's a line out the door), so it can feel a little sketchy to walk aimlessly through a random alleyway, but Bread Alley makes the walk super cute with a lovely string of arrows pointing you to their gorgeous black brick and wooden storefront.

They don't have a full-time cashier, so if you get to Bread Alley during one of their off-peak hours, you have to knock or ring the bell and wait for one of their bakers to come open the door for you. Once they do, you'll be welcomed into a cozy little shopping area with just a cash register, small pastry case (which just includes a few exemplary pastries -- the rest are in the back), and a wall of various types of bread. I didn't end up grabbing one of their breads, but I'll definitely have to make my way back for them; the harissa black sesame sourdough looked incredibly enticing, but I just, unfortunately, didn't have a need for a full loaf of bread at the time. However, I was in the mood for a sweet treat and decided to get a classic pain au chocolat. They don't have an indoor seating space, given their relatively barebones front-end, so I just ate my croissant as I walked home. It was a beautiful croissant, with a gorgeous lamination inside and nice glossy finish. It was a smidge too doughy for my taste, as I generally prefer really light and airy croissants, but it was still delicious.“

“Ordered from Fresh Baguette app. Didn’t get half(!!) of my order and customer service wasn’t really helpful, no information on whether I’ll get my food delivered or they’ll give me a refund. Very upsetting situation.

Update: got my issue resolved 3 hours later, will get a refund in 3-5 days, plus got a $20 gift card“

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

“I can't believe that I have lived here for nearly 20 years, walked past this place many times, and just discovered it several weeks ago. WOW! The pastries and, cakes, muffins and croissants are excellent. Their homemade jams are wonderful. Their breads, quite yummy! I love their iced coffee , which has s a very subtle taste of cocoa. And, I am a very picky coffee snob. Service is sometimes a little chaotic, but the staff is super friendly. Weekend mornings are insanely busy- a reflection of how good they are. Amazing, spacious outdoor seating! LOVE this place.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 .“

“Wonderful selection of bread and pastries! Absolutely worth a visit.“

“fire 🔥 bakery and exceptional treats. I have been spoiled on vacation from Alaska. I have ordered almost everything off the menu.... the Croissants are divine. highly recommend!!“

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

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

“Amazing food! This was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine. The service was great—our waitress was very attentive and helped us choose dishes based on our preferences. We ended up sharing a meat and vegetable combo, as you can see here. The bread, paired with the hearty meat and vegetables, was very satisfying. We were only able to finish about half of it between the two of us! This is a great restaurant, and I’d most certainly come again.“

“Best service, coffee and croissant in town 🥐“

“My Mom and I came here two mornings in a row. The food is delicious whether you’re eating in or on the go. We had an unfortunate situation with another customer who was rather rude and made everyone uncomfortable. Another customer stepped in as did some staff and luckily the situation resolved itself rather quickly. A staff member treated my Mom and I to a donut for each of us and was super apologetic for the unwanted excitement. Besides having good choices for breakfast, they have a nice staff and show that there’s still kindness in the world.“

“Awesome service and food.“

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

“Nice place with a wonderful shady outdoor space. I didn’t try the pastry, being a contrarian, but had an omelet instead. It was served quickly and well prepared. Staff is friendly, the place is modern attractive, and appeared to be very clean.“

“I recently had my wedding cake made by Fluffy Thoughts and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their attention to detail was exceptional and they went above and beyond. They took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. They were even able to replicate our crest and put it on to the cake. The responsiveness of the team was remarkable; every question I had was answered promptly, and they made the entire process seamless. I felt supported every step of the way. Now, let's talk about the flavors! Fluffy Thoughts offers a creative selection that truly stands out. We opted for a mix of Candy Bar Crunch and Coffee in the Morning and our guests are still raving about how delicious the cake was. It was not only beautiful but also incredibly moist and flavorful. I highly recommend Fluffy Thoughts for anyone looking for a wedding cake that combines stunning design, excellent customer service, and unique flavors. They helped make our special day unforgettable!“

“Been coming here for many years—great food and polite and helpful staff!“

“Grateful for the experience! Special thanks to Father Curry for having the forethought to create a program to help Veterans like myself build sustainable businesses with dignity.“

“We visited with friends and thoroughly enjoyed every dish we tried. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful—elegant and beautifully designed. I loved the overall vibe of the place. The food, coffee, and the entire experience were simply fantastic. Highly recommend!“

“Last minute wedding cake disaster and Tiffany made a beautiful cake for my daughters wedding. The doors were closing in 10 minutes and they were my saving grace. I appreciate the friendly staff and there willingness to help me. Beautiful job !!!5 star service!!! Thank you Tiffany’s Bakery Melvina Pearson and Family“

“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.“

“We lived out of town and I ordered these for my daughter and friends her senior year. Not only was communication great but the cookies were beautiful and very tasty! Highly recommend!!!“

“Randolphs has been my favorite bakery for years. The recent changes, sub contracting baking of breads, croissants, etc.,have forced me to go elsewhere. They no longer have the cakes, pastries and breads that made them the best of the best. In addition, the once classic store is crowded with displays of cocoa mix and other items that have nothing to do with the shop’s bakery offerings. I will still go in occasionally for challah, but that is it. They should take down the awning describing the shop as a Patisserie. It’s a bakery but not a patisserie.

Parking: There isn’t more to say. It’s free if you can get it“

“I am thrilled to share my experience with Tango Pastry, a true gem in the world of pastries and delicious treats! From the moment you step into their café, the ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting to savor their delectable pastries. Tango Pastry's dedication to delivering top-notch quality and excellent service is evident. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to guide you through their mouthwatering selections. I can't wait to join them for their Grand Opening! I highly recommend Tango Pastry to anyone seeking a delightful pastry experience. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you, and you'll be eager to return for more of their scrumptious delights.“

“I loved going here and the employees were so nice. I am gluten free and ate the cupcakes. One of the employees showed me everything they make that’s gluten free daily and what they can make upon request. I am partial to the gluten free chocolate cupcake but the vanilla was good too!“

“The beignets are made fresh to order. We ordered two orders ( 3 per order) of the powdered sugar beignets and they were ??. We tried the vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry sauces and they made the beignets even better. The vanilla puts you in the mind of a cinnamon roll frosting but better. Beware the powdered sugar beignets can get MESSY so don’t eat them in your car……

The staff were very friendly.

Only downside I there isn’t much seating.

We will definitely be back.“

“If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s guaranteed to impress, Nothing Bundt Cakes is a must. Their cakes are always incredibly moist, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s a celebration or just a craving, there’s something special about the combination of that signature cream cheese frosting and the perfectly baked bundt cake. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the store has such a warm, welcoming vibe. I can’t recommend it enough—every bite is happiness!“

“I come here pretty much every weekend. They have absolutely one of the best vegan cupcakes. My favorite is double chocolate. Their service is fantastic, nice cozy place. If you are in city, check this place out. You won’t be disappointed at all. Atmosphere is amazing. Never had bad experience here. A must place for cupcakes. They taste good, cost is low.“

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

“Awesome cookies and the staff rocks 🤘“

“The food was delicious, we were 9 people, everything we ordered was delicious. They don't accept reservations, the lines to order are long but the wait is worth it.
I don't give it 5 stars because the bathrooms were disgusting.“

“I absolutely love The Beat! The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, with a clean and stylish setup. The pastries are fresh, buttery, and baked to perfection — you can really taste the quality. The staff are friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasant experience. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, and there’s a great variety of treats to choose from. Definitely a hidden gem in Falls Church, perfect for grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a relaxed coffee break. Highly recommend!“

“Best authentic Mexican panaderia/bakery in the area, we drive an hour an half just to get fresh baked esponjas, if you haven't been here you don't know what you are missing“

“Such good macarons. The texture was just right and the flavor are so tasty. The strawberry reminded me if fresh strawberry ice cream. My wife loved the gingerbread and pumpkin spice. Will be ordering again!“
