32 Best Bakeries in Alexandria

“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“

“I really enjoy when Lucy is there. She consistently maintains a positive attitude that enhances the restaurant environment. She brings energy and enthusiasm to her work and is respectful, kind, and easy to talk to. I’ve been at that location a lot and honestly, just really enjoy even just her customer service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Not sure if they are under new ownership or changed their recipes but they have consistently had the freshest, tangiest sourdough loaves. Got one today and they were unable to slice it in store and it’s very dry and doesn’t have the usual sourdough texture. Bummer if this is indeed the new fresh baguette…“

“Awesome cookies and the staff rocks 🤘“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“Great place to spend time or get some work done. The Wi-Fi is strong, there are outlets available to charge your devices, and the service is smooth. The food and drinks are great, there are plenty of bathrooms, and overall it’s an ideal spot to pass time and be productive.

If you want it, I can also make it sound more like a Google review, Yelp review, or more polished/professional.“

“Made daily sub rolls, are fresh and chewy for a great sandwich.
Donuts are made with quality ingredients, real chocolate and Apple fritters are delicious and huge.
Family business that cares and has quality products at a great price.“

“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“

“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!“

“I went to this coffee shop for the first time the day before yesterday and the service was impeccable I asked for a recommendation and got a fabulous one from the barista that took my order. The chicken BLT sandwich was huge and the layout of the coffee shop is very big well thought out no complaints.“

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

“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!

*The little side part was a mistake made by me! ?“

“We lived out of town and I ordered these for my daughter and friends her senior year. Not only was communication great but the cookies were beautiful and very tasty! Highly recommend!!!“

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

“I'm not a cake person but since I tasted her cake, been 2years now, its only God that will deliver me from eaten cake and not just any cake rather I speak of ANGEL RAY'S cake. Order for any accession today and your review would be a story without an end.“

“This is one of my favorite bakery’s for sweet bread! I can’t stress enough at the fact that if you love Mexican conchas not every place makes them the same! I’ve trained different bakeries and this is my Number one for conchas! The softness and right amount of sugar and it doesn’t have the yeast, baking powder taste to it like in other places. So if you are looking for conchas they make them fresh every day, they are done by 1pm BUT they are so popular so they are gone by 6pm! So check your time! I’ve been coming here for a month now and every time I come they aren’t finished being made yet or they are gone already haha. Let me tell you the waiting game is sooooo worth my drive for it! Come get your conchas! They have other pastries and other kinds of pan dulce (sweet bread). Finally got my bag today so I can go enjoy a piece with my coffee ❤️“

“I ordered a cake online from Alexandria’s Pastry Shop for delivery. My son turned 16 while on a school trip away from home so he was staying at a hotel close (i think😅) to the shop. I thanked them in the comments for being willing to deliver and let them know the occasion. When my son opened the box (which was a surprise to him), not only was there the cake I ordered, but they had a cookie on top and had written “Happy 16th Birthday” on it!🥹 I cried when he told me. I wish they’d gotten a picture! I am SO appreciative that y’all made my boy’s day so special! And all of the kids said the cake was delicious! Thank you again ❤️“
