"With a devoted DMV-wide following and a reputation for supplying bread to high-end restaurants like The Dabney and Lutèce, this Riverdale Park bakery just added dinner service after closing for a few months to expand into a larger full-service restaurant. From 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, the evening menu stays simple with an anchovy-packed tomato pie ($25), a garlic-and-spinach white pie ($24), and a rabbit ragu lasagna ($27), plus desserts like a Basque-style cheesecake with apricot saffron preserves and an affogato with house-made vanilla ice cream. Led by husband-and-wife team Rick and Tyes Cook, the shift reads as a natural extension of what regulars already love here." - Emily Venezky
"Mentioned as a popular neighborhood spot that has drawn food-lovers from across the D.C. area, Manifest Bread is cited by Nishikawa as one of several businesses helping to build Hyattsville’s burgeoning dining scene." - Emily Venezky
"I noted Manifest Bread, the beloved Riverdale Park bakery run by Rick and Tyes Cook, will close on July 28 with plans to expand into a larger bakery plus a next-door restaurant and bar in about four months, and that its famous breads will remain available elsewhere in the meantime." - Emily Venezky
"Maryland’s breakout bakery added a brick-and-mortar locale in Riverdale Park a year ago, letting patrons come pick up its cookies, pastries, loaves, baguettes, and bialys. Thursday nights call for pickup on 16-inch pizzas from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Manifest’s delicious baguettes and sourdough also compliment meals all over town, with prominent menu appearances at Michelin-starred chef Johnny Spero’s Basque-themed Bar Spero and Shaw’s chic new French cafe Petite Cerise." - Tierney Plumb, Stephanie Carter
"I highlight Manifest Bread as Maryland’s breakout bakery whose baguettes and sourdough—made with regionally grown grains—are being used by Petite Cerise for its breads." - Emily Wishingrad
