27 Best Bakeries in Arlington

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome service and food.“

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

“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!“

“On a Saturday morning in DC, we tried breakfast here, including lattes, butter croissants, almond croissants, and brownies. All the items were excellent. However, the service was the low point of this shop. I’ve never seen such slow coffee preparation anywhere. While one lady was making our four lattes, the first two became cold. It’s a shame, given how good the baked items are!“

“Village Sweets did an amazing job on cupcakes and a large cookie kit for my daughter’s birthday. They were so fast with communication, even after I changed my mind a couple times. They were so accommodating! And everything was beautiful and delicious. The cookie kit was a huge hit! They even opened the shop early so I could pick everything up on time. Amazing. Would buy again! Would recommend to a friend!“

“I came here with my family and almost every single item was great. The savory items with the sausages were my favorites. The sweet items were a little sweet for my liking, but they are quite good and have a very light airy texture. Keep in mind though that there will be a long line if you come in peak timing. But that just is testament to how great the food is.“

“They have amazing treats, especially their icecream stuffed croissants 🥐 wow try one they are so soooooo good!!“

“Friendly staff…good food and coffee!“

“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“

“I can tell that this bakery really uses quality ingredients and takes its time to ensure everything is fresh, well-flavored, and held to high standards overall. First, the black sesame latte was so good—highly recommend. The brownie was delicious; it’s more on the fudgy side, so if you like a fudgy brownie, I definitely recommend it as well. The hamantashen was very good.

The only thing I would say is that, if I’m not mistaken, there are Middle Eastern–inspired flavors, so if you’re not used to those, you might be a little thrown off by some of the tastes or the extra accents in their dishes. But overall, it’s a very, very good bakery. I love a bakery that takes its time to deliver quality, and I could tell that’s exactly what they do. Even though a few items caught me off guard because I’m not used to those particular spices, everything was still worth giving this place five stars.“

“Delicious cookies. The Dubai chocolate cookie is outstanding!“

“Nice place with a wonderful shady outdoor space. I didn’t try the pastry, being a contrarian, but had an omelet instead. It was served quickly and well prepared. Staff is friendly, the place is modern attractive, and appeared to be very clean.“

“I was in Arlington an hour early for an appointment and I was hungry. I walked into and Ma Sha Allah!!!!“

“On check in the place was really busy with busloads of kids also waiting for their rooms. At one point I asked the front desk staff if we would be on a floor with the teens as our last experience at a Marriott in the area was not good and I didn’t want a repeat of the same sort of experience. That couldn’t be guaranteed as the kids were pretty much located on every floor. Nothing against kids or teens at all, we had our own teenager and a baby with us. Front desk staff was apologetic for the delay in check in and gave us a discount on parking. We didn’t ask for it, but the gesture was greatly appreciated. The hotel was quiet and the only issue we found was that the breakfast area was quite busy due to lots of hungry teens in the morning, all of whom I should add were very polite and respectful. I would consider staying here again on future trips.“

“In the shopping center they have a store on the first and third floors, we placed the order on the third and then we went to the food court so we could sit down to eat, because there is no place to do so in the other store. We had doubts about what to buy, I consulted, at first I didn't know but I let myself be understood but then he explained to us well. The flavor of the hot dog bites is very rich, addictive and the sweet ones, with sugar and cinnamon, are not far behind, they are tasty. The flavored lemonade that was ordered, that feels artificial.“

“Fantastic place - great vibe/atmosphere and service.
Food was exceptional. The entire family ate, so we were able to try lots of different dishes. The standout was the loroco pupisa, but the emepenadas, charrascos, and salteños were close behind. The horchata and monconchichi were also exceptional. Highly, highly recommend.“

“Stumbled upon yesterday when I was picking up from Thai Select. I walked in and almost fell over with the beauty of this pastry/coffee shop. I only had time enough to purchase a S'mores cookie. OH MY WORD! I'll be BACK.“

“Wow!! They just opened up in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. I got one fresh out of the oven, hot but not too hot dripping with frosting. What a great treat!“

“The best Saltenas in the area! We have tried all 13 Bolivian restaurants in the general area and this Pan American bakery is the best in flavor- not too spicy, not too sweet.
The grande cheese Empanadas are wonderful (especially if you stuff them with chicken salad when you get home- a totally southern American add to these South American delicacies!)
Creators of one of my all-time favorite sandwiches!!! Yes- their simpler house chicken sandwich- the seasoned Saltena meat on a bun with all the fixins’ makes an amazing meal!
In summer the cinnamon ice cream is delicious and the cakes, pastries and soups are always great.“

“I had to leave a review after my experience at Chip City because Ricardo seriously went above and beyond.

I came in super indecisive and honestly a little overwhelmed with all the options, and he didn’t rush me at all. He walked me through the flavors, gave honest recommendations, and even helped me put together a mix based on what I told him I usually like. You could tell he actually cared about making sure I got something I’d enjoy instead of just getting me in and out.

At one point I changed my mind twice (not my proudest moment 😂), and he stayed patient the entire time, super friendly and helpful the whole way through. He even suggested warming one of the cookies a certain way, and it ended up being one of the best cookies I’ve had.

Customer service like that is rare now. Ricardo made the whole experience feel personal instead of transactional. Definitely the reason I’ll be coming back.“

“I was pleasantly surprised how amazing these cookies are ..you do have to wait a bit at first seemed confusing to get to since there’s no vivid sign up top. We got the classic and the cookies were hot and ready so take a little bit of time maybe less than five minutes for them to cool but so good and worth it.“

“I have been eating these bagels for years and no other bagels can compare with them.“

“First time visiting. The turkey BLT was very good and served quickly. I did not care for the espresso. It was very bitter. I have a superautomatic machine at home that grinds the beans for each cup. Its much smoother, even with dark roast beans. My friends latte was great!“

“Very friendly staff & an excellent sandwich! It was my first visit, I would highly recommend it.“
