6 Best Bakeries near Crystal City

“My very favorite pizza! In fact, my only pizza place now. Olive Juice Forever is my favorite pie but all of them are delicious. (Sour dough crust to die for). Don’t forget the side of chicken wings. Amazing beer on tap. Also, take home a giant cinnamon roll or a sweet treat, you won’t regret it. Bonus-if you need a bike, hit Jonny up. He fitted my husband with his dream bike.“

“I walked into The Braided Bakery yesterday and ordered 20 random items and also cleared out most of their drinks from the cooler. They were so friendly and kind! I've done this before to some other little shops and they have seemed aggravated I bought so much. Not The Braided Bakery! Everything was absolutely delicious and the folks who I bought it for just raved about it! Thank you so much for being so kind and also making such delicious food!“

“This is THE best coffee shop in what I'd say is the whole Jefferson County area. I drive 20 minutes down south sometimes just to get their coffee. The service and product is exceptional and I just love this place! I'd rate it higher if I could!“

“We stopped by right at the time they opened. There was a guy who worked there that was carrying boxes to his car. I walked in and said hi and he replied how can I help you? And not a friendly voice. He acted like I annoyed him because he had to stop and wait on me and I interrupted him carrying the boxes to the car. I only got 6 doughnuts and I ordered 3 of one kind and 3 of a different kind. I thought that was a pretty simple order and not much trouble. But I guess he thought differently. I have been in here once before and the guy (different guy) was very nice and cheerful and made you feel welcomed. This guy was totally opposite. I frequently visit the Crystal City one and they are always nice and welcome you so I have to admit I was surprised by this guy's attitude.“

“Owner is AMAZING! Needed 3 dozen cupcakes for a birthday party, and they turned out beautiful! They went over so well at the party. Tons of people asked where I got them! I ordered strawberrry, cinnamon churro, and triple chocolate. Cinnamon churro was my personal favorite ?. Will definitely reach out anytime I need desserts for an event!“

“With THE BLUE OWL YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH DESSERT, but when you eat a meal there it sadly shows Mary is retired. The food is DEFINITELY dropped a notch or two which is sad BECAUSE I LOVED their fried chicken and my wife the chicken salad and now the portions have shrunk and the taste is rather bland. Will go back for dessert but if I am hungry for a meal will eat elsewhere on our way there!“
