Small-batch pastries, croissants, and cocktails with great coffee
























"This chic North Bethesda jewel focuses on crafting quality, small-batch croissants and other pastries like brown sugar scones, brioche doughnuts, and cookies. The croissant menu covers savory and sweet, ranging from a stuffed ham and Swiss cheese or mushroom truffle to traditional butter, chocolate, and matcha green tea, varieties (plus cruffins). Weekend specials include kouign amann and macarons. A second outpost is en route to McLean, till then the bakehouse is popping up around the neighborhood." - Tierney Plumb
"A local bakery whose sea salt chocolate chip cookies are being used to make ice cream sandwiches at the new scoop shop." - Tierney Plumb
"Thank Sunday Morning Bakehouse for taking care of dessert this year. Sweet treats include apple crumble pie (Granny Smith and Braeburn apples, brown sugar crumble top) and pumpkin pie with a secret spice and adorned with cinnamon sugared pie crust leaves. There’s also a pecan pie for the first time ever and if pie isn’t the vibe, their version of a no-bake whipped cheesecake with buttery biscoff cookie crust and garnished pumpkin white chocolate chantilly mousse is a great alternative." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"The simplistic bakery comes bearing fall cocktails in the form of whiskey caramel apple cider. Its classic apple cider is shaken with homemade caramel, spiked with Jameson and Fireball, and fresh lemon juice to yield a creamy concoction even non-whiskey drinkers will take several sips of." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Per an Instagram post, Elaine Chau’s Sunday Bakehouse will host a takeover by Ok’s Deli on June 23 at 11 a.m., when chef Albert Ok will run the bakery’s menu for the day and fans can find the collab." - Paolo Bicchieri
