50 Best Bakeries near Riverdale Park

“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.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“This is hands down the best bakery I have ever been to. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything they have. My personal favs from my recent visit were the scallion, egg & cheese croissant, crab rangoon croissant, and strawberry milk donut. If you are in the area while Rose Ave is open, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by. The only negative thing i can say about going here is that, for people who do not live in or frequent the DC area, you will forever long to return. There was almost 5 years between my first and second visit here, and i dreamed of that return every single day.“

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

“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 best cookie I’ve ever had in my life. Combined with their incredible ice cream, it creates an amazing dessert experience. The line can be very long, but it’s absolutely worth the wait.

If you’re visiting Georgetown and don’t stop by this place, you’ll be missing out on something truly special. 🍪🍦“

“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 .“

“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.“

“I came to try this bakery after seeing it promoted on Instagram as an authentic Asian-style bakery. I miss the Japanese bakeries I would frequent often when living in Japan a few years ago, and this one definitely brought back those memories. The interior is cute and on display were a variety of Asian-style baked goods and some minimal seating. I got the ube twist and melon pan. The ube twist was really delicious — I’d highly recommend it. The melon pan was disappointing; I expect a crunchy cookie crust on melon pan and this one was sticky and soft. The bread itself was super plush and soft and amazing, so it would be great if they could improve upon it with a crunchier cookie crust. The bread items were $3-4 each, so not the cheapest, but I was happy to support a local Asian bakery.“

“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!“

“Wonderful discovery! We stayed next door at the Sheraton and were looking for a way to cap off our stay. Wonderful authentic Ethiopian food. We read the Google reviews and decided to try the meat and veggie combo like it was recommended. Delicious food, excellent service and very clean. The bakery is next to the dining area, have to try that next time we are in town.“

“When this place is good it is excellent but there are times when the food and experience are just a bit inconsistent. Sometimes the French toast or bacon will be dried out or like it's been sitting for a little bit under the light but when it hits it really is the best. I've rated it four stars just because consistency is so critically important with a restaurant and we often debate if we're even gonna go because we know when it's not great it's just not worth it especially for the cost.

I will also say the atmosphere itself is fine and what you'd expect. It's at least very clean, which is important. Our favorite items are:
- the French toast
- the biscuits in general
- the fact that they have kids' portions and options for some of these“

“Visited a second time after my first visit over a year ago when everything was out of stock.

A Redditor’s comment describing the Kouign amann bringing tears to their eyes was the pull. And it really is quite fantastic: flaky, soft layers, a crunchy top helped along by the crystallized sugar, instead of the usual syrupy finish I’ve found at other bakeries in the city. It’s not too sweet, and has a slight saltiness from the butter.

It’s a little smaller, more akin to a kouignette, and comes to around $5.80 with taxes, which is on the pricier side.“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“I ordered this cake for my wife’s 35th birthday and it absolutely exceeded every expectation! 🎂✨ The craftsmanship is incredible every detail is flawless, from the elegant monogram design inspired by Louis Vuitton to the adorable mini handbag and bow on top. It looked exactly like the photo, which is rare these days, and honestly looked even more stunning in person.

Not only was it a showstopper visually, but it tasted amazing as well. The quality, attention to detail, and overall presentation made it the perfect centerpiece for such a special celebration.

If you’re looking for a cake that will truly impress, this is it. Highly recommend DeeDee’s Delights professional, talented, and clearly passionate about their work. I’ll definitely be ordering again! 🎉👏“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“I went for breakfast. I was a little hesitant because I saw a small menu online but once you get there, they have many different things! It's a cute bakery with many things to try. I ordered a medium coffee and a chicken torta. It was good, wait time is not long. I work nearby so it'll be an option for breakfast!“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“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“

“The food here was incredible and the ambiance is very nice! There is a nice variety of beverages, especially cold ones for the summer time. The staff were super friendly, especially Enrique, who came to chat with us. Although they weren’t doing seating service, the food arrived at our table very fast.“

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

“Delicious cupcakes! We are new to the area and have been searching for tasty fresh cupcakes with buttercream icing. We found this place online and decided to try half a dozen cupcakes, we had the vanilla, chocolate, marble and red velvet. They were almost all gone before leaving the parking lot ;)“

“Delicious food and coffee! Bakery items amazing! Cute area inside and outside!“

“Wonderful job and our girls birthday party and was hit of the day! Thank you so much!“

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

“Awesome experience for my daughters birthday cake!! It looked amazing and tasted even better. Will be back for many more!! Kept in touch very well With very fast response time. No disappointment here. The whole party was asking about her !!“

“As my daughter and I attempted to find the perfect wedding cake, she went through bride-to-be jitters and I went through mother-of-the bride jitters as there are so many beautiful designs. It was so hard to choose! We soon learned that not only are the cakes good (red velvet with cream cheese icing is one of my favorites)but the customer service is “outstanding.” The owner Alexis and wedding consultant Shannon clearly understand the indecisiveness of brides to be. They personally worked with us, held my hand, and were very patient. I highly recommend Cakes Plus for any occasion that requires that special touch and special taste!!“

“I’ve used Fancy Cakes by Selam for my kids birthday and baptism. She makes amazing cakes, the artwork is detailed to perfection. The taste is top tier and she delivers. All this for a very reasonable price.“

“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!“

“Best hispanic bakery in the DMV
Order a Torta Cubana, it's literally enough for for 2. And a turkey ham Torta. Also pan dulce section is very big with a wide variety of pan dulce.
They have the bakery section and the restaurant section, service was fantastic but the lady in the restaurant is amazing, great customer service skills.“

“😊 very good 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕“

“Súper delicia 😋 ☕️🍪🧁 muy higiénico ambiente agradable y amablemente atendido“

“I had a wonderful experience at Nothing Bundt Cakes! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the cakes were absolutely delicious and fresh. I want to give a special shoutout to Jaslene, who was very professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to share helpful information and made my visit even better. Great customer service like that truly stands out—I’ll definitely be back!“

“My daughter had a graduation cake from Sweet Tooth Cakes and Pastries. when I tell you this cake was delicious, light, flavorful and looked beautiful!! it was all of that and more!!! The cake actually made me happy!!! Thank you Sweet Tooth for adding more joy to an already joyful day!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜“

“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!“

“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.“

“Rolling Sloane did an amazing job on my daughter’s mermaid birthday cake!! She did a beautiful purple, pink and blue glitter frosting with adorable sugar cookie shells around the side and a mermaid tail sugar cookie for the top. It was exactly what my daughter wanted! On top of that, the cake was so good and we all fought over the last piece! Highly recommend a cake from Rolling Sloane!“

“From the moment I walked in, Layla and Frank made me feel genuinely welcomed. The service was fast, friendly, and you can tell they really care about the experience they’re creating.
The iced latte itself was fantastic, rich, smooth, and clearly made with attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and I would definitely visit again!“

“Timmy is just the best! I have ordered from him for years. Just recently I needed the best key lime pie and I got the best key lime pie!“

“The mushroom turnover and raspberry scone here are absolutely delicious! I also loved the chai. I want to come back and try the sandwiches and more of the pastries! I was really happy with the portions and prices, too. It's an adorable little shop with a couple of tables both inside and outside.“

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