50 Best Bakeries near Takoma Park

“I love this bakery! I go often to grab bread or baked goods for the weekend or to bring to a friends. Great location in town and good vibes there! Cute place to read a book and relax. I wish they had more Gluten free items for my husband because the gluten free carrot cake they have is always good but the only item!“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“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.“

“I will always seek out a Levain! Their gluten free, vegan chocolate chip with walnuts is incredible. The chocolate melts in your mouth, no matter how long these cookies have been at room temp. It’s small inside the store so just don’t plan on having room to sift down inside.“

“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.“

“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 .“

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

“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!“

“I've been to Dama a few times and honestly it's the best Ethiopian food in the DMV. The service is always quick and the food is so delicious.

Pro tip since you won't have room for dessert: make sure to visit the bakery side before dinner to grab some pastries to take home.

You'll thank yourself later.“

“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!“

“Charming bakery and café with a good assortment of baked goods and bubble tea. Everything we've had here has been fantastic and affordable. It's a family run place too which is always better than a chain. Hope this place gets the business it deserves.“

“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).“

“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!!“

“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“

“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 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!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

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

“Washington rang me up and was so kind and you can tell he loves taking care of guests at Maman. The vanilla cloud cookie was so yummy along with Oprah’s fave - kitchen sink cookie. Such a treat if you’re looking for a mid-day lunch, coffee or a snack. They also have craft cocktails and a happy hour. Definitely check them out!“

“Awesome service and food.“

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

“This place isn't open on Sundays, but I forgive them. The pastry here is lovingly made with extreme attention to detail. Cream puff swans? Macarons? Croissant? tartes? volcano cake? and on and on and on and it's soooo hard to choose just one. The staff are friendly and patient, and package up your selection as if it is a newborn baby. Really great place to treat yourself, OR to get something special for someone - including celebration cakes“

“Let's be clear. The bad reviews is because Karoline Leavitt ordered donuts from here on her birthday. That's it. That's really why they are leaving these reviews. This company is a small family & veteran owned business and the donuts are some of the best in town. Enjoy!“

“I didn't know this cute little shop existed until needed a cake (quickly!) and saw the great reviews. Boy did they deliver!! With just 3 days notice, they made a beautiful cake that was delicious. I can't wait to try more things from this shop!“

“This is an exceptional bakery in our area. Their Bread is fresh and daily prepared. Store owner and employees are friendly and polite. Keep up the excellent work.“

“Delicious pastries and coffee, great vibe“

“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.“

“Amazing bakery. All the cookies I had were super high quality even after I ate them a day later in the microwave. These cookies are very tall, with a warm soft center and crunchy exterior. I got the regular chocolate chip, which has a lot of chocolate chips. I also got the rocky road and Caramel coconut chocolate chip cookie which were both also great. High price but even higher quality and value. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.“

“This is a wonderful hidden gem! Do not let the location dissuade you. Delicious and super fresh!!“

“Nice stones from around the world .“

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

“Absolutely amazing, tasty, and impressive! Not only would I order from them again — I keep trying to think of reasons to order again soon.

I found them online and placed a last-minute cake order for something a bit complicated, something other bakers had said they couldn’t do (or would need more time to pull off). I was very lucky they had a little extra time in their schedule before the weekend and agreed to take the order.
Since I had never used them before and it wasn’t a referral, I was a little nervous (I even almost bought backup cupcakes from Wegmans — I’m so glad I didn’t!). But when the cake arrived, I was so impressed. They did an even better job than I’d hoped — they really nailed Mimikyu! And the cake tasted great, too. The birthday guests were impressed, my kid was thrilled, and honestly? So was I.

I'm really glad I found them online.“

“After seeing tons of cars visiting all day, I decided to check out the online menu. The steak nachos are tender and delicious, loaded with toppings. Taquitos with chicken were great. Also got the birria tacos, horchata and tres de leches cake. May need to return asap. 🤣“

“I went here for a last minute birthday cake run. They have a round cake and sheet cake available. My expectation was minimum due to the cake being a window cake, but I couldn't be any more wrong. The cake was delicious! The icing wasn't too sweet. The celebrant and guests loved it. The service was also very pleasant. Highly recommended!“
