28 Best Bakeries in Alexandria

“Paris Baguette was extremely accommodating with my last-minute request for a full tiramisu cake, even adding “Happy Birthday Mom” as a message on the side. I’m beyond grateful for how convenient and easy they made everything, especially on such short notice. The tiramisu was absolutely delicious and a huge hit! I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“This place reminds me of home. The food, service and atmosphere is always amazing. I tried the food once on Uber Eats and loved it. I now come regularly to get breakfast and it’s a little like “Cheers” everyone knows my name, everyone knows my order. I hope this place grows in success by never changing who they are and what they do!“

“I thought the pastries I ordered on my two trips here were great! We have been to bakeries all over Europe and up and down the eastern coast of America… They are kind of my thing. We love pastry shops all over the world. Though I don’t profess to know as much about French pastries as the other reviewer who had a negative experience , the classic pastries that we purchased were absolutely amazing. Honestly, better than most of the croissants I had in Paris 🤷‍♀ Very light , very crisp - we had nothing that came out doughy or chewy at all. The cappuccino with oat milk was made perfectly both times I went. I think they must have taken their previous feedback from that one reviewer to heart and improved, which shows growth and maturity.“

“Ummmmm, amazing cookies!!! Tried them for the first time, and was shockingly surprised! Will def. be buying some online, since I’m located in Ohio.“

“It is always such a pleasure to come to Maman, the food is always amazing, and the service is even better. Kate, in particular, was so kind, and made us feel so welcomed. She always had a smile on her face, and even took the time to have a conversation with me. You can tell she puts her heart into Maman, and is passionate about making sure everything is of quality. I am excited to not only come to Maman again for the amazing food and coffee, but also to see Kate.“

“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!“

“Awesome cookies and the staff rocks 🤘“

“Went for the first time today - we got Whea-ite and Spinach Feta (that I couldn’t not take a loaf of after trying). I grabbed the last loaf of it and the place was busy, but service was fast and friendly! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Every so often there’s a key lime cookie. That cookie is delicious— I’m hooked!“

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

“Thank-you Ben’YaYs for the delicious treats every Saturday morning! They are fresh, warm and full of flavor. Your customer service is amazing, we love doing business with you! ❤️Conte’s Bike Shop“

“Been coming here for many years—great food and polite and helpful staff!“

“We have lived in the area for years and somehow never knew this coffee shop existed! My husband and I stopped by for a latte, a mocha latte, and tuna salad bagels. Everything was delicious, but the bagels were especially good! We enjoyed it so much that we came back the very next day.
The decor is lovely, the atmosphere is cozy, and everyone who works here is so friendly.
So glad we finally discovered this place. We’ll be back!“

“Absolutely try the create your own sundae. There’s a chocolate M&M flavor and I took advantage!“

“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!“

“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 young lady serving us was very helpful and knew all she needed to serve us quickly and professionally. The gelato was exceptional!!“

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

“Lo mejor de lo mejor en gastronomia argentina en el DMV“

“Best authentic Mexican panaderia/bakery in the area, we drive an hour an half just to get fresh baked esponjas, if you haven't been here you don't know what you are missing“

“A little on the pricey side but we’ll worth it!“

“Idk how this business stays in business because of how affordable everything is! The sweets are absolutely delicious and all fresh, and the staff are extremely kind and welcoming. They even gave me a free cookie without asking. Best deserts I’ve had since I moved to NOVA. Absolutely recommend!“

“Have been making weekly purchases of the delicious fresh bread and donuts from this dual purpose bakery & donut shop. Clean, Friendly, Good location, and Great prices. Highly recommend. Go early before noon to avoid your favorites being sold out. Support small business in your community / region.“

“Recently used Bittersweet Catering and they were amazing. The food was excellent, they were able to handle last minute add ons and delivery was a piece of cake. I will be using them again and would totally recommend them. Thanks Karla“

“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!
