50 Best Bakeries near North Bethesda

“Delicious pastries and coffee, great vibe“

“Fantastic croissants and delicious pastries. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!“

“I love that Cafe Sunflower supports the community of people with learning differences with its training and employment program. The baked goods were delicious, too!“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“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“

“There's a reason Rose Ave usually has a line out the door. This is one of the best bakeries in DC, with a somewhat limited selection compared to other bakeries. They have one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city, egg and cheese on a garlic croissant type roll. Super rich and will definitely leave your hands covered in butter. The ube kouign amann is incredible and the donuts are both delicious and unique. They have great coffee and a small selection of cakes and slices of cake as well.“

“Amazing gelato experience!

The waffle tasted incredibly fresh, and the pistachio kunafa flavor had the perfect crunch without being overly sweet—really well balanced. The hazelnut ice cream was rich and delicious as well.

Portion-wise, I do feel the second scoop could be slightly more generous for the price, but the quality definitely makes up for it.

I usually can’t finish desserts, but this one was so good I ate the entire thing. Would absolutely come back again!“

“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.“

“Cookies are pretty decent, but their operation is slow as heck… don’t even think about going on a Saturday or Sunday or around any holiday if you hate lines and waiting. I mean this should be a cookie factory line, what are we doing!! I guess Georgetown cupcakes and other places in Georgetown have the same problem but still... They should also make the lemon cookie a permanent cookie! Their best cookie in my opinion, but it is seasonal.“

“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 .“

“Super adorable family-owned bakery -- they also have a great drink menu and sell some packaged Asian snacks and ice cream too. Everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious but some favorites include: their cream bun (which they fill with cream right when you order it so that it's as fresh as possible and doesn't make the bread soggy), their black sesame mochi bread, and red bean and mochi bread.“

“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.“

“Im not allowed to return home by the 15 year old daughter without bringing Crumbl cookies home (Belgium). This time did a 30 min detour on my way to the airport. Service was friendly and swift... cookies are for the kids at home so can't comment on them myself 😉“

“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!“

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

“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).“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“Absolutely delicious place! I had the turkey on ciabatta sandwich and the Parmesan cheesecake with figs. Both outstanding! Never had a savory cheesecake before and I will definitely be back for more! They were also so friendly and made my sandwich super fast“

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

“I normally don't write reviews, but the red velvet cake with cheesecake frosting is DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend 10/10 ,it was nice and moist and not super sweet like others!! The customer service was great. Will definitely be back!!“

“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.“

“The best croissants I’ve ever had. They are very special and perfect to share with loved ones.“

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

“I loved my first time experiencing the original salt pretzel. They were warm upon pickup. I ate one in the car, and the other about an hour later. Deliciousness! May be trouble for me because it’s so close to home!“

“The customer service is superb every time I have visited. My favorite is their mango cake and the shortbread cookie. Great ambience!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“First off, the pretzels are top notch — and I’ve eaten a lot of pretzels. Second, the manager/owner is excellent. We’ve ordered from here for a few parties and most recently, the shop ran out of items in advance of filling our order, but they quickly arranged for a delivery in time for the party so we didn’t have to drive back. Super appreciated and awesome customer service!“

“This bakery is absolutely phenomenal. I haven't found a single pastry or dessert here that I don't love—there's truly something for everyone to enjoy. Everything is made fresh in-house, and I especially love the window display where you can watch the employees making cakes, rolling dough, and prepping for the next day. The staff members are always friendly, making it a wonderful experience every time.“

“Oh my god! This place is a hidden gem in Rockville! I have had the pumpkin croissant with savory pumpkin filling, the kouign amann, raspberry tart, etc and each treat has me wanting to come back for another delicious morsel! I cannot wait to see and try what they come out next with their seasonal items for Christmas!“

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

“I ordered one of the November cake specials (biscoff tres leches) and it was amazing! One of the best cakes I've had. On top of that, I ordered the special menu for my Thanksgiving meal and it was also spectacular! Highly recommend both the cakes and savory food from this business. I will definitely be a repeat customer“

“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.“

“Listen, this place is DELICIOUS. First time I tried Best Buns, I got a Fried chicken egg and cheese sandwich. It was magnificent. But also I was hungover from the previous night so I felt like I couldn’t really enjoy it. So earlier this week, I got a Sausage Egg and cheese on a biscuit on the way to work….AMAZING! But I work in a busy community hospital so again, I couldn’t really savor it. I will be going back for the third time either today or tomorrow. And the staff are super sweeet too. Definitely GO!“

“Berry blue was great to work with the cookies they made for my sons birthday were exactly what we wanted.“

“Black sesame cake is delicious 😋“

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

“Personally, I think that this crumble is great It has all the cookies not all the time because it’s a very crowded area because there’s a lot of people over there so they don’t always have all the people stock but I do think that when they have it they have really good cookies besides the ones I’ve had before from different stores have been too chewy too hard to raw, but this crumble makes sense great and I recommend this crumble a lot!“

“Really love their pastry and croissant. Cappuccinos are wonderfully made each morning. Frassier white chocolate cake is my favorite. Also tried the new grilled cheese for brunch - excellent.“

“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!“
