50 Best Bakeries near Takoma Park

“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.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

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

“I will start with this, I love Rose Ave.

I came in today at 10am and was deciding on a drink I wasn’t sure I would like because it might be too sweet. The cashier was genuinely kind and reassuring, and told me that if I didn’t like it, I could always change it. That made me feel comfortable trying something new.

Unfortunately, the drink did end up being too sweet for me, so I went back to the barista to ask if I could switch it to something else. The response I got was honestly kind of a bummer. She sighed loudly, exchanged dirty looks with another barista. She also tried to convince me the other drink would be even sweeter, which wasn’t even true. It made me feel embarrassed for asking, especially after being told it would be okay to change it.

She wouldn’t even look at me when I went back to pick it up and tell her thank you….

I still love this place and will continue to come back, but this experience was a big reminder that customer service matters just as much.“

“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.“

“Love love love Levain!

The cookies are always so delicious, it is so hard to not order all at the same time.
I often take the classic two-chip chocolate cookies, but I’ve also tried the oatmeal raisin, the chocolate walnut, and the caramel coconut chocolate ones.

They’re all absolutely delicious, and depending on my mood I’ll get different ones.

They have seasonal cookies too, lately it is the carrot cookie. Can’t wait to test it! I’ve also tried the gluten free chocolate walnut cookie, and it is also worth the hype.

The staff is pretty quick, it’s not particularly a seating cafe but it’s a nice little snack at the end of the day :)“

“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 .“

“I recently discovered nomtastickim on Instagram and her Asian restaurant reviews. I don't like American food, but I've liked everything I've eaten after seeing her Asian restaurant reviews.
I picked up three items this morning at Morning My Day. The choices were plentiful and tempting. A coconut braid-not too sweet, just perfect for early morning with coffee or tea, a curry pork sung bread that was absolutely hands down delish-heated it in the oven for 5 minutes and ate it with hot sauce, and a purple yam flower bun-delicious but know that the bread consistency might not be what you're used to? It's a very moist dense dough. The lady had a genuinely welcoming smile. The shop was easy to find. I found parking quickly. There is one table, maybe two. It's more of a carry-out place. I will be back.“

“Delicious cookies and always friendly staff. Great for celebrations or just a treat to brighten your or someone else’s day! Something for everyone’s taste. There are a few regular flavors (sugar, chocolate chip…) and then 4 or more other flavors that change each week. I recommend placing your order on the app. You’ll get points toward free cookies and a cookie on your bday.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Any rating below a 5 is an outright joke. Best biscuit and gravy I’ve had by a mile. The biscuit and bacon sandwich is beyond amazing. I saw a review saying the bacon is to thick, are you nuts???? Keep that opinion to yourself because the thickens is perfect!!! Who sees thick bacon and says it’s too much? Weirdos that’s who.10 stars minimum“

“Amazing place and services. They serve beautiful bakery. Especially, white whipped cream cake is the best. It’s perfectly balanced in sweetness, with light whipped cream, fresh fruit, and incredibly soft cake layers—it all comes together beautifully.“

“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 can see why people want to keep this little spot a secret. Tucked away on a side street this unassuming coffee shop is a real gem.

I got a caramel latte and one of the creme donuts and the coffee impressed me at the first sip. Really smooth, not bitter and perfect sweetness. The donut was a perfect accompaniment. Service was attentive and quick.

I'll definitely be back.“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“This place was amazing I came here to today and I was looking everywhere for a place that sells the best tres leche cause I been craving it sm and I went in the lady was very nice to me and smiled I tried the lotus cookie tres leches it tasted amazinggggg I would definitely come back again and it’s very affordable“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“Staff seemed friendly, professional and attentive(All two of them). I would mention that the staff seemed to be running in more than two directions at once covering many stations in tandem. Guests seeking interaction presented to the front; all while staff was greeting, pulling packing current guest requests, prepping orders for pick up, as well as pulling oven cycles between(few). I know an octopus would have his work cut out for him self durring the rush here. Thank you to the team for the warmth and welcoming environment.“

“Awesome service and food.“

“Maman is hands down the best coffee shop in the entire DMV area! Their special coffee flavors are absolutely amazing, offering a unique experience with every sip. The pastries and cookies are equally incredible, fresh, and delicious every single time. The environment is cozy and welcoming, with beautifully decorated interiors that make you feel right at home. Whether you're there to work, relax, or catch up with friends, Maman's ambiance creates the perfect setting. I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“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 ;)“

“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!“

“Trader Joe’s stopped carrying their Morning Glory muffins during Covid and I have been so sad but I discovered Sunflower Bakery and theirs are amazing!!!! Thank you I am so happy!!!!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I am overjoyed by the selection and quality!!“

“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.“

“Sam is absolutely amazing at baking cakes, she has been making cakes for my family's special birthdays for the past 10 yrs. She never fails to amazing me with her skills and attention to detail! Thank you so much Sam! October is the next one😉“
