50 Best Bakeries near Riverdale Park

“Manifest Bread easily has the best bread around! Everything is always fresh, perfectly baked, and packed with incredible flavor. On top of the amazing quality, Richard is an absolute pleasure—he is genuinely nice, welcoming, and always helpful when it comes to making recommendations. If you haven't tried their bread yet, you are missing out. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“The music is fine and it plays to a level that allows conversation, there are seats outside for those who like to be al fresco early in the morning. I like the lighting and there is a combination of live plants and an artificial garland inside. I had the ube cake, croissants, the savory bun and they were great. I'm not a fan of donuts but friends rave about them. The coffee is excellent. If you eat in place they serve the pastries on China plates. Do you have a sweet tooth ? Try the vietnamese coffee. Black coffee is your choice - drip, expresso iced and hot are fine and mellow. There is an interesting choice of teas too. When it comes to the banana cinnamon cookie, not so great, took a bite and the prevalent taste was baking soda. Nice touch to combine salt and sweet on the cookie but the baking soda ruins everything. Tried the cookie at the other end and it had no cinnamon flavor. Stick to pastries and you will be safe. Should have got the hojicha roll not the cinnamon cookie but this will be for next time.“

“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.“

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

“I finally gave in to the hype and went to try this $6 cookie.

The chocolate walnut cookie is a big boi, the form factor is half the point. The exterior has a satisfying crispy, buttery crunch that gives way to a doughy (but fully cooked) interior. Big, textured walnut pieces add a nice bite.

That said, it is quite sweet. The chocolate is overwhelming, even by cookie standards (though I understand it looks great on Instagram).

If I do try another cookie, I’ll be eating it in two sittings instead of one 🫡“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“I’ve ordered 2 cakes now and consistently then have been 10 out 10 for flavor and design. Their cakes are cute and fun while tasting delightful- you can taste the real ingredients, and every bite is light but sweet without over doing it. The owners are also very nice, family oriented and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Got the breakfast plate (forgot the name already, sorry) with biscuit, eggs, meat choice (I got thick cut bacon) and 2 hash browns. Damn was that good. I normally don't love thick cut bacon so thick that it's chewy, but it was like pork belly consistency, and damn good. Hash browns were nice and crispy and golden brown, eggs were cooked perfectly, biscuit was delicious with some of their honey butter and blueberry preserves. And the cashier/server who took our order, she was great and super helpful. (Sorry I didn't get a name, I'm doing great on memory today lol) Will definitely be stopping by again here soon.“

“I spoke with the owner a few days (last minute)to my daughter’s birthday. She hooked me up with a delicious and wonderful cake!! I am so grateful and will definitely order a cake from her again. Thank you so much for making my daughter’s day a success.“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“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!“

“Overall good food. You can tell it’s a favorite for people because of the crowd. Service was very welcoming, with a very casual atmosphere. You can tell people go for the food. I’ve had Ethiopian food a couple of times and do believe their food is better. My wife got awaze tibs, while I got the special kitfo, a tar tar style dish. My wife’s was wonderful and I’m sure mine was good as well, but I know tar tar is not for me. Bottom line, if you’re interested in trying Ethiopian food, this would be a great experience.“

“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.“

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

“Love the idea of a bread speakeasy! It’s a little hard to find though, they usually sell out of bread by noon, and the prices are pretty steep so I’ll dock a star for that. Recommend the Kouign Amann (5.80) and their cranberry walnut sourdough (13.50).“

“Cookies are so good food good“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic experience at Maman in DC. Dakota, Paul, and Kevin provided exceptional service from start to finish, they took the time to walk me through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even crafted a special drink just for me that was outstanding. The baked goods were absolutely delicious as well. Truly great hospitality all around, and I really appreciated the extra care they put into making the experience memorable. Highly recommend!“

“😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👆👍👌😋😋😋😋😋“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“Rarely opens on time at 7:30 . Try stop on way work. Still waiting. After ordering they had no bills and gave me 7.90 in change! The cashier had attitude because I made her give me my change and then she had the nerve to give me a Canadian quarter which I gave her right back. Unacceptable.“

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

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

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

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

“My daughter is getting married on a Tuesday afternoon. Cakes Plus is closed on Sunday and Monday and they are making a special accomodation for us to pick our cake up early on Tuesday morning. Great experience at the cake tasting Highly recommend this business.“

“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 !!“

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

“This has definitely become my new local coffee shop. It’s the kind of place you can go to every day before work starts—it has already become that for me.

The atmosphere is great; it’s a very easy place to get some work done or settle in with a book, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I love coming here in the morning for an iced mocha and their sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The seasoning is excellent and the food is always fresh.

The staff is super nice and they are incredibly quick with orders. I’m already planning on heading back this Saturday with my new read.

Highly recommend!“

“My name is Meredith and my wife and I ordered a cake and cupcakes from Randy the owner of Creative Cakes for our music single release party. Ambiance is cool and laid back. Randy is an amazing baker! She greeted me and my wife with a friendly smile, professionalism and extremely prompt amazing service! The cake and cupcakes were absolutely delicious and fresh! Everyone at the party said its one of the best cakes and cupcakes they ever had in their lives. Her dedication to excellent customer service is second to none. Thanks Randy and team for your excellence to bring decadent sweet treats to the community! Will order again and again going forward! 5 out of 5 stars for Creative Cakes!“

“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!“

“This was the first time I ordered via the app ahead of time. My cakes were wrapped very nicely and the staff was attentive and got me and my son in and out of their shop in no time. I really liked the Laurel, MD location and will likely be getting any of my bundt's from there!“

“Spring Mill Bread Co. is a highly-recommended neighborhood staple. Decadent breakfast sandwiches, extraordinary Challah, and fabulously buttery scones (the chocolate chip & blueberry are a must).

The cozy environment, complete with local art pieces, allows you to enjoy your food with a pleasant view. Highly recommend.“

“I love it!!! Great prices compared to similar bakeries in the area, they have a great assortment of pastries (I only tried the dulce de leche medialuna and it was really good) and they have normal priced, good coffee. The decor and ambiance is also lovely. And service is great!“

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

“We had a group of 9 for brunch and it was a complete feast! The shareable plates just kept coming and everything was delicious. Such a great variety of pastries, vegetarian dishes, dips, egg dishes, and more. Would highly recommend it for a casual friendly sharable brunch with friends or family who are eaters of all kinds. The offering has something for everyone- and it is a great way to introduce those who may be unfamiliar with Turkish fare.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Red Ribbon is an amazing bake shop with delicious cakes, pastries, mamon, ensaymadas, and other sweet treats. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Their cakes are moist, perfectly sweet, and perfect for any celebration. Special thanks to Ma’am Monaliza, Ma’am Dimes, Anna, and Jenalyn for their incredible support during Music Tree’s Beauty of Broadway: Beauty and the Beast show. They were warm, attentive, friendly, and accommodating to everyone. Their outstanding customer service and genuine care made our performers, staff, and families feel welcomed and well taken care of.
