Bakeries near Mount Rainier

“Love the food and music here! My favorites are the Seafood Mac and cheese, General Tso’s Cauliflower, Fried oyster mushrooms, Fried fish sandwich, and Sweet potato cake. The potato salad is not bad, just a bit runny and needed some paprika. Highly recommend trying this place out“

“I only visited this location once, but it is one I would definitely check into again. It's a great bakery featuring items that are more Hispanic in nature. That being said, don't be surprised if the person assisting you knows little or no English. The pastries are all behind glass cases, and things didn't look disturbed from day-to-day, which gives me the impression they aren't removed overnight, but I am making a broad generalization (thus, my assumption should be taken with a grain of salt). The pastries are of great quality, though. They are flaky, light, and tasty. I was surprised, since it's a huge departure from the sugary, syrupy concoctions offered in most malls, airports, and coffee shops. The real star here is the price, though. Two pastries (one a pineapple empanada, the other a large equivalent to an eclair or canoli) cost less than $3 with tax. If I ever happen upon this neighborhood, I definitely know where I will satiate my morning sweet tooth craving.“

“I loved this spot! We went around 4 PM on a Tuesday and it was lovely, quiet, and delicious. The staff clearly love being there and provided top notch service, with several recommendations. The not-pizza’s are pretty big, so one was enough to split when we ordered hummus, the carrots, and the olives too. We are so lucky to have this incredible Palestinian spot for delicious food, pastries, drinks, and even coffee!!“

“Amazing products! We showed up less than an hour until closing and they were out of only a few items.I was so excited to see Pandan, Mochi, and Ube on the menu! The kouign-amann was SO GOOD and crunchy/sweet/caramel/flaky. So worth the wait.The other patrons were in really nice and friendly!!“

“I'm lucky enough to live within a short distance and use Manifest as an excuse to take a walk with a reward at the end. Everything I've bought has been amazing and delicious. The prices are reflective of the quality and efforts that go into the final product. My go-to's are the apricot financiers, the fig and goat cheese sandwich (it's great warmed or toasted), and you can't go wrong with a cardamom roll. It defeats the purpose of my excercise a bit, but I'm definitely not complaining. The hours are a bit restrictive, but it's probably what's saving me from being there all the time ?“

“Baked & Wired received so much attention from various websites and reviews - we had to pop by! Georgetown is known for its cupcakes, and I would like to know why!We visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We found the the line extending outside the store but it moved quickly. We used the time to visit its website for pictures and to make a decision (we would find later the staff was lacking warmth!)We ordered Strawberry and Vanilla Satin. While the strawberry was touted to be top seller, we found it was way too sweet. We shaved off the frosting and found a deliciously moist cupcake with a fragrant strawberry taste. Vanilla satin topped with dark chocolate proved to be a perfect pairing.Adequate seating in the cafe with one restroom at the back. Good for afternoon break while exploring Georgetown!Also bought home the granola which has a subtle hint of coconut. It was yummy but the hefty price tag $17.50 will mean not a second purchase…“

“The food was good, but definitely not worth $57 a person on a Thursday night….We ordered four dishes (fermented cabbage toast, arancini, thai fried chicken, and scallop crudo) and had a drink each. Portions were small, even the “entrees.” Will not go back anytime soon for dinner. Our waiter was very nice though.*Came back over a year later for dinner because of an InKind Coupon. The $50 off $50 made the meal more worth it. But still expensive for what youre getting.“

“We walked by this place not really looking to eat but the exterior stopped us in our tracks. We looked in and saw all the pastries and decided to make a quick pit stop. We got a Pistachio Meringue Roulette to share. Mistake. Should have gotten one for myself. The flavors work perfectly together. I also got the Strawberry Matcha to wash it all down and I’m still thinking about it. Wish they would bottle that stuff!“

“This location is a nice gem in Georgetown - I frequent here and treat myself when I want a delicious bake good - this past visit I had a delicious cinnamon bun - it was absolutely delicious and of course a nice cup of hot brew! Perfect location for the cookies as well - never too early or late in the afternoon for nice cup of coffee and a delicious bake good!“

“Stopped by for the first time and got the Normande tart. It was delicious. I also got a lemon cake, but we're saving it for later.The staff was friendly and very helpful. He recommended eating the tart a bit warm to really get the best flavor, and he was right. It tasted amazing.We ate the lemon cake for dessert, and it was very good.I will definitely be back to try the other pastries.“

“Amazing croissants. So flakey and full of wonderful filling. A great value! The mango pannacotta was amazing! The value for the price was fantastic as well! I briefly met the owner. The sweetest person you will ever meet! If I lived in town, I would be here ALL THE TIME!“

“Wow, I love this place and am counting down the days until my next visit! It's a good thing I don't live nearby or I would be here all the time! Pistachio croissant is amazing and coffee is on point! The staff is so wonderful too. Definitely pay them a visit if you can!“

“I visited the West End location with my husband while visiting DC and had a phenomenal experience. Aside from the food being absolutely to die for, the customer service is really what impressed me. At the register, we were greeted by an older black woman who was so kind to share suggestions and explain the menu to me despite being very busy. It truly made the ordering experience a breeze. My latte was delivered by a younger light skinned black male and I am not sure where he received his customer service training by but by far he’s got it down pat. After delivering my order he told me, “have a nice day, okay?” but it wasn’t just a pleasantry, it truly seemed like a genuine request. I am beyond impressed with the food, ambiance, and customer service provided!“

“Lovely little spot in Georgetown for authentic French baked goods. They use mostly French ingredients to get as close to the “real thing” as I’ve had in DC. Staff is friendly, efficient, and there is a nice patio in the back to enjoy your coffee.“

“My beautiful grandson is in the NICU at the Children’s Hospital. Today as my daughter, her husband and grandmother arrived they were greeted with a delicious box lunch from your establishment. We’re not sure of the organization that gifted us this lunch so we say THANK YOU!“

“It’s a cute, little bakery run by some lovely, wonderful people.I’m a pretty big guy who used to be overweight. My love for sugar is still very much present lol. That said, whenever I eat anything from here, I don’t feel that “guilt” or “shame” you feel when you prick up a candy bar.Everything that I’ve tried here is the perfect amount of sweet. Not too much, not too little. It will satisfy your sweet tooth without making your doctor cry at the amount of sugar you just ingested.It’s also very filling. I can easily eat 2-3 donuts from a donut shop. Meanwhile, I’ll be 3/4 of the way thru a pastry from this bakery and I’ll struggle to eat the rest. I want to eat the rest because they’re VERY delicious but it’s more than meets the eye.Also extremely well priced. The average for a single pastry or slice of cake seems to be right below $4 I think. Might be slightly off but the point is I didn’t feel like I was spending a lot. Again, for something that will fill a grown man up without being half your daily amount of calories in a single serving like some of these other sweets, this place is near impossible to beat.I love this place“

“10/10.Very cozy place. You have to queue because it is always full. But I'm not surprised, since the food they make is incredible.The sandwiches left me speechless, to say they were good is a huge understatement.The hot chocolate they serve was also delicious. Ideal to warm up on cold days.I would definitely return to Washington just to have breakfast here.Great!!“

“Chocolate pistachio croissant - 5 stars. so good and will be returning for this. Any place that has pistachio pastries is a place for me. Morning bun - very flavorful (cardamom & lemon) but a bit too dry for me. 3 stars Espresso & tonic - I did not like this at all, and will definitely get a safer drink option next time. There was a line at 130pm which I was surprised about, but it moved very quickly and we had no trouble finding a seat. Cute place, will be returning!“

“I've dropped by a couple times and have liked the sponge and cream cakes. Today stopped with a friend who needs to get out more - we had tamales and coffee and OMG!Sweet Cheese Bread which is actually a thin layer of sponge cake with a slightly thicker layer of cheese cake. Not too sweet, unusual enough to elicit comment over coffee, and I bought what they had left to share with friends.The tamales were good, served with refreshing rajas garnish. Also got some Bolillos to turn into tortas at home. The staff are LOVELY and the customers-only restroom is CLEAN. Altogether cozy enuf for early morning breakfast lunch (they serve breakfast) at 5:30 - a rare thing for the area.“

“Cool vibe, kind of goth; which is wild to walk into from a sunny Old Town street. The smell is amazing and the cookies are massive. 4 stars for no seating and because I do wish there was an option to receive your cookie warmed, especially at $4 for a "leftover" cookie. Check them out!“

“Cute little coffee shop with the flakiest chocolate croissant I’ve ever had! Got there a few minutes after opening and picked up a still warm chocolate croissant, mango danish, and spinach feta danish? or croissant ?… can’t remember… Would definitely come back to try the other pastries !“

“The food was really good - couldn’t be faulted! Service was excellent too.My only gripe was the amount of single use plastic items in the cafe. Everything from the plate to the cup to the cutlery was disposable. We need to do better by our planet.“

“I came here about a month ago to get some pretzels to take to a picnic with friends. It was excellent! From the easy ordering and pick-up to the friendly owner, who generously added a “pretzel for the road” as to not disturb the beautifully labeled and packed box), it was a great experience. The pretzels were warm, fresh, and everything you want in a pretzel! We tried all of the flavors that they had and they all were delicious. I froze the few leftovers I had, so I could warm them up and enjoy them later (it didn’t last more than a few days!). Next time I plan to try their pretzel rolls. Try them, you won’t be disappointed!Kid-friendliness: Pick-up, the perfect kid snack!“

“This place is dangerously close to our place and my partner and I are obsessed. The raspberry and apricot cakes are unbelievably good--and I'm not even a fruity dessert gal. The chocolate cake is the best in DC and I'm dying to try the coconut almond one they have, but it's only for special order. Can't wait for the next occasion! Also, the woman who is usually behind the counter is always patient with me as I struggle to make my mind up about which slice to order every time! I <3 Sharbat!!“

“The selection is limited, but their breads are incredible. The cranberry walnut bread is the same bread found at le diplomate. My favorite bread is the black sesame harissa. Expect to wait in line. Only about three people fit in the store at a time, but it’s worth it.“

“We couldn’t resist! Everything was delicious and unique! My son’s favorite was the strawberry cream filled pastry and mine are the black sesame bun (not pictured, devoured) and the tahini cookie AND the truffle and ham pastry. Parking at the National Building Museum where their pop-up is was easy! Seriously, you’ve GOT to give their pastries a try!“

“Smiles all around! From the second you walk in the door you'll see why it's impossible NOT to smile. Ask the super nice staff for recommendations from the endless selection of baklavas and sweet treats. Kanafa will change your life...imagine honey drenched pancake with sweet melted cheese. Lebanese ashtaf chewy ice cream is like frozen Turkish delight. The small cup is perfect with up to three flavors. Add whatever flavors are on special to your ashtaf. I'll be back for the Pasha Special - baklava stuffed with ashtaf ?“

“High quality pastries as is with the staff who are extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. Try the croigel sandwiches here as well. The menu updates from time to time with new items. They would knock it out of the park EVEN more if they offered a strawberry croissant.“

“Outstanding organic breads and artisan pastries (Viennoiserie are tops!) make Fresh Baguette a go-to to enjoy exemplary French bakery treats, especially the savory Crogel (croissant sandwiches) and seasonal offerings like the Passion Fruit Croissant (summer) and the Pumpkin Cruffin (hybrid of croissant in a muffin shape during the autumn)! Gary leads a team of very personable and courteous staff that makes the Bethesda location a true star versus the occasionally brusque Rockville spot.Vegetarian options: As with most bakeries, the majority of options don't include meat.Parking: There are 2 spots in front of the bakery with a third one sometimes available and one more that is a temporary standing zone.Kid-friendliness: Wholesome treats that are attractive to burgeoning and refine palates alike!“

“Fantastic addition to the neighborhood! Everything I’ve tried so far has been good (mini pain au Chocolat, quiche, various pastries) if not great (buche de Noel, macarons, baguette sandwiches). The service is friendly, competent and efficient.I only wish they would use reusable dishes, mugs, and cutlery for dine in orders. Not only is it better for the planet and people, but it’s a better dining experience. They do allow for bring your own mug though, which I appreciate and use.“

“Upon entering the facility, I was showing my mom what cookies were available for the week, waiting for the kiosk when one of the employees asked if we would like help. They took our order and showed us the beautiful cookies. I had a jammy heart cookie that was sweet and delicious!“

“I got the chocolate croissant, and was really surprised when I realized it was a whole wheat croissant. The first whole wheat croissant I've ever had, and it really adds a nice nutty flavor to the croissant. The texture of the inside is also a bit chewier than your average croissant, with a lovely crisp on the outside. I just wish there was a bit more chocolate, but the croissant itself was wonderful, and I'm super glad I got to try the whole wheat. I also got a cortado, which was just ok. This is definitely a bakery first, so would highly recommend stopping by and grabbing some of the pastries!“

“Such a a great company with such a great product. The customer service was chef’s kiss! I gave them an idea of what I wanted, a few I spo pics and they hit it out of the park! I used these for a corporate event and it was a higher hit! Not only are they cute but they are SO yummy! Definitely using them again!“

“Finally got to try their lemon cookie- I meant to have half so I can eat the next day but too difficult- I ate it all - it was the perfect soft with crispy edge and huge portion- it is pricey but large- service was fine and quick ! Place is small but accommodates enough to have short wait inside - ate walking outside though since there is no space to eat inside“

“A solid baked goods shop. Great customer service. They had three section:outdoor seating area, indoor seating and your typical order and lay set up. My experience at the spot was brief. I order a bagel with cream and cheese. They just have one option for cream cheese( original), no option for toasted, and you have to prepare it in your own( spread the cream cheese). The place looked pretty busy for a Friday mid-morning. I may come here again to try their other selection besides the pastries.“

“Really great food - they have really yummy breakfast sandwiches which are always hot off the panini press. They have just really great baked goods too, beautiful cakes and cupcakes and then also traditional bakery items like croissants, cookies, etc - which are all insanely delicious. I think I've tried about everything from Buzz at this point and can say the food and coffee is fantastic. It's also a really great work environment so I come here to work from my laptop pretty often. The tables in the back facing the entrance are great - there is great lighting there for zoom meetings and it's never too loud in there.“

“A great, casual, local cafe and bakery with amazing pastries. We keep trying new things on the menu every time we go and everything so far has been delicious. There are good savoury and sweet options such as the smoked salmon croissant and the brioche donut. You can also grab whole cakes and small gifts if you’re entertaining at home.The staff have always been friendly and helpful whenever we have been there. The cafe has a laidback atmosphere - I often see people working or catching up in there.“

“Great spot to pick up some sweet treats. But their coffee is not the best... The interior ambiance is very clean, simple, and pretty to the eye. The service here is great and the staff are all nice. I would recommend this spot more for snacks/ food/ treats, than coffee.“

“We literally just flew back from New Orleans, and immediately longing NOLA's cuisine. We drove all the way from Baltimore in a rainstorm because of the crazed reviews. The reviewers stated that you MUST try the spiced cider, biscuit breakfast sandwich, deviled eggs, and the king cake. I opted for the biscuit breakfast sandwich, spicy potatoes, and spiced apple cider. WOW, just wow--the biscuit breakfast sammy was celestial. I wish I would have ordered two. Clean unisex bathrooms. If you plan to order beignets, don't wear black or dark clothing. Service is only at the counter due to the order grab and sit system. Self-bus dining style. Easy parking across the street which if you come on the weekends, after you eat or grab coffee at Bayou, you can skip over to the Arlington Farmer's Market.“

“I look this place and wish the chain opened in NYC. They've got good coffee, good baled goods, a bright energetic interior, and a wonderful lunch menu. Fast casual so no table service you order up front and they give you a number. Someone brings the food to you when its ready. Its never a bad idea to stop here.“

“I know what you're thinking: this is a a coffee bar located in the lobby of an apartment building. It can't be that great, can it? Well, you would be wrong. This is my neighborhood coffee spot and I have been here so many times I've lost count. The coffee you get here is consistently well made. I haven't had everything on the menu, but the breakfast items (pastries and made-to-order dishes) are top notch. The funfetti cookie and classic breakfast sandwich deserve special mention. The front of house staff are incredibly nice and usually down to chat as much or as little as you'd like as they make your drink. Even better, this is now one of the first locally owned and operated coffee shops in the DC area where the workers have come together to bargain and set standards for their working conditions with management. It's well known that union-made coffee inherently tastes better because you know that baristas have power and a voice when management inevitably starts to cut corners and prioritize the profits of their budding coffee empire over the health and safety of their employees. (I don't know the owners, I just know how incentives work.) So sip in solidarity, my friends! If the quality declines here it'll be because management has decided to cultivate a hostile work environment to try and undermine the solidarity and hope it's employees have worked so hard to build.“

“Ordered a King Cake for Mardi Gras from MB Bakery and I wish I could leave a 5-star review. The bakery staff were lovely. Excellent customer service, very responsive to emails, friendly and courteous when I came by for pickup. The cake itself, however, was a disappointment. It was very dry, dense, and chewy, nearly stale, like something from a box in a supermarket, not fresh from a bakery. Perhaps I'll give them another try one day, because they did seem like a very good operation, and maybe they're better when it's not a peak-rush occasion like Fat Tuesday and Valentine's overlapping.“

“This place is a community. Come in the morning and observe local Ethiopians getting together for coffee and meals. What a place!Staff is friendly. Barista serve flavorful coffee using Ethiopian beans and in high volume. When they offer to coat it bombolino in sugar, take it. Prices are affordable as well!Next visit I'll have to try their food. Only had enough time for coffee and sweets today.“

“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 .“

“We were staying in the area for a few days and stopped here twice, once for pretzels and the second time for the breakfast sliders. Both equally delicious! Definitely could eat a breakfast slider every morning. Staff was friendly. Service quick.“

“I tried this place via a neighbor's recommendation and it was sooo good. The cupcakes are fresh and moist and a really good size for the price. The buttercream is not overly sweet, but still sweet enough. These are literally my favorite cupcakes ever. The shop is in a great location with cute decor and friendly staff. The inside feels pretty instagrammable this time of year (cherry blossoms make the prettiest backdrop!).“

“This was such a lucky find! I took a chance using a Too Good to Go and bought a birthday cake for my son. It was so fresh and delicious! I was worried when I pulled into shopping center because it’s in an industrial area, next to a Uhaul place. But when I walked up, the outside sidewalk was decorated with two huge teddy bears at a tea table sharing a pastry. It gave me a good feeling about the shop that the owner went to the trouble to make a cute display. And inside, the bakery is spotless. My Spanish is rusty, but the staff spoke enough English I had no problems. They also have a little hot food case and I bought a delicious vegetarian tamale and coffee to m, which were inexpensive, very filling, and really tasty. I will definitely be back.“

“Junction Cafe is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, with a diverse menu that caters to various tastes. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal or catching up with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes and indulging in their freshly brewed coffee. Can't wait to visit again!“

“Stopped by here with my sister and ordered a pork and cheese popusa and the Guatemalan style steak, which came with Pico, avocado, rice, beans, 2 tortillas, and a cheese whose name eludes me but was delicious. Everything was fantastic. The portions were generous, the tortillas were made in house and delicious, and the steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. All together, it was about $20 which was a bargain for the quantity and quality. Our waitress was super sweet and the atmosphere is great. I will be coming back. I've been to tons of south American places and I can say this is one of my favorites. I will definitely be coming back“

“Expensive Pastrys and expensive Coffee great Place to hang out if your going to Law School... Managers and Staff are polite..
