32 Best Bakeries in Alexandria

“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.“

“By far our FAVORITE cookies!! All the flavors we’ve tried are AMAZING!! They are huge, not super sweet, soft & delicious! Took them to our last tailgate and the college kids ate 8 monster cookies!! Loved them! They were a hit!!“

“Friendly & amazing customer service, and delicious food and drinks. Thank you!“

“Ordered from Fresh Baguette app. Didn’t get half(!!) of my order and customer service wasn’t really helpful, no information on whether I’ll get my food delivered or they’ll give me a refund. Very upsetting situation.

Update: got my issue resolved 3 hours later, will get a refund in 3-5 days, plus got a $20 gift card“

“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!!“

“These cupcakes are amazing. I strongly recommend. The flourless is delicious!“

“If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s guaranteed to impress, Nothing Bundt Cakes is a must. Their cakes are always incredibly moist, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s a celebration or just a craving, there’s something special about the combination of that signature cream cheese frosting and the perfectly baked bundt cake. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the store has such a warm, welcoming vibe. I can’t recommend it enough—every bite is happiness!“

“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!“

“The beignets are made fresh to order. We ordered two orders ( 3 per order) of the powdered sugar beignets and they were ??. We tried the vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry sauces and they made the beignets even better. The vanilla puts you in the mind of a cinnamon roll frosting but better. Beware the powdered sugar beignets can get MESSY so don’t eat them in your car……

The staff were very friendly.

Only downside I there isn’t much seating.

We will definitely be back.“

“Awesome cookies and the staff rocks 🤘“

“Chocolate mousse cake was not as moussey as I’d have liked. But it’s still chocolatey so I still approve I guess“

“I contacted Rachel to make treats from my friend who is gluten free and unable to consume dairy. Rachel was extremely patient while we worked through options. I decided on s'mores bars. I could not be happier with the treats! As a vegan of over a decade, I have consumed hundreds of vegan baked goods. The Fetching Goodies bars are on par with desserts from popular - vegan and non-vegan - brick and mortar bakeries. I can promise that an omnivore would not be able to tell that Fetching Goodies treats are dairy free! I highly recommend Fetching Goodies. It was pleasure to support a small business owner who is so thoughtful and talented.“

“This is one of my favorite coffee shops to go to, period! The service is always first class and you feel like a person not a number. I’m not big into the food becuase im more a coffee guy. That being said, the homemade pastries, breakfast and lunch sandwiches are awesome! Have to try at least one. Now, the coffee is on point! They use very good espresso beans and their baristas are amazing. The place can get packed quickly and that’s a sign of why this place is so good. Lastly, it’s family friendly, which is a big plus.“

“Thank you, Great Harvest Bread for the beautiful cookies. Ashley, your decorative skills are a piece of art. Looking forward to sharing these. Happy Holidays!“

“The not so ??good news: Shoppers beware! ? If you are placing Uber Eats orders on ?? Sunday nights, you run the risk of many fresh items having low inventory/ no inventory to choose from. THE GOOD ????NEWS is: this location is VERY COMPACT, so there aren't "101 flavors" of any inventory/ merchandise/ categories to get bogged down with selecting.“

“I am the Marketing Director for Chick-fil-A in Crystal City and Pentagon City and we were throwing a baby shower for one of our Team Leaders! The cake they designed was absolutely beautiful and tasted great! We are so thankful and appreciative to be able to support a local business. We'll definitely be back for more!
