Maribeth's Bakery - Classic Apple Pie - Bakeries Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This bakery makes the best red velvet cake in the entire DMV. They actually specialize in all different types of cakes and pies. But I think they are best known for their custom cake creations. I've seen them in action delivering a huge cake to someone for some special event, and this thing was nearly three times the size of an ordinary cake. Today I purchased a whole red velvet cake and I am betting that it's as delicious as the lemon morange pie that Ingot from here a couple of months ago. The employees here are also extra nice to every customer who walks thru their door. They have real manners and I can tell that they respect your time as well. If you happen to live in the Alexandria area, I would highly recommend this bakery for their awesome cakes and pies. read more

The quiche and pastries are great. No longer have walk in ordering. Must order on line. Can pick up on site or have delivered for $8 if local. We find the size to be perfect for sharing. Will miss seeing Mr Tom read more

To preface this review, I've never actually tried the baked goods from here. However: we have a family friend that lives in Alexandria, and we constantly send her goodies from here (and she says they are all tasty!). The 5 stars is for the ease of ordering on their website. The first time we sent her a pie, I was thinking Doordash would be the way to go, but it was all individual pie slices, from restaurants and other businesses, and we wanted to send a full pie for her and her husband. I did some sleuthing on Yelp and Maribeth's Bakery came up. Their delivery fee is $8, for local delivery (Alexandria/etc.) through their website, which IMO is reasonable. So far we have sent our friend some full-size pies and also mini pies, and she has said they were all really good. Overall I would recommend this business, based on her review and also my experience with ordering from the website for her. read more

Fresh and soooo good! The fruit pop tarts are my absolute favorite. Each week at the Old Town Farmer's Market they have a variety of pastries. This week we bought Veggie Quiches, Peach and Blueberry and Strawberry Lemonade pop tarts. Delicious, flakey and fresh. Going to this bakery is the highlight of our Saturday trips to the Farmer's Market. The team working are focused, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have a customer for life. #HappyEating read more

9.02.23- I had the honor of throwing my first Sip & See... it's kind of like an adult, more refined baby shower. You get to see baby & not play those hokey games. I had a team helping me plan, but the task of ordering the cookies fell in my lap. Who knew securing a vendor for custom cookies would be such a challenge!! Cupcake bakeries are everywhere. This bakery came highly recommended from my friends at Rx Catering. I had a couple chats with the bakery and sent pics of what I envisioned. They eloquently told me what they could do for me. I appreciated the transparency and gave them the green light to move forward. Maribeth's has a 4 dozen cookie minimum. This bakery mass produces sweet treats. My order was ready at the agreed upon time & I got to meet Maribeth and her hubby! The cookies were buttery deliciousness. Definitely a hit among my guests. read more

AMAZING cookies! I was sent some of their spring cookies for my birthday and they were some of the best I've ever had. Loved the customized cherry blossom theme too. I also had a few of their pop tarts, which were huge and delicious. Maybe some of the best pop tarts in the area, with a huge variety of flavors from chocolatey to fruity. Prices are really reasonable here too and they deliver, which is the icing on the cake! Can't wait to go back. read more

Great fresh baked goods. Easy pickup too! Maribeth is our go-to for all desserts! Friendly staff always a warm welcome.

We love everything we've ever tried at Maribeth's Bakery, but the pop tarts are next level. They're consistently fresh, the fillings are always tasty, and the crust is second to none. They're the perfect compliment to a Sunday morning cup of coffee. read more

MB (aka, Maribeth's) Bakery used to make appearances at the OT Alexandria Farmer's Market, and I didn't know that they had opened up their own little spot off of Colvin, offering baked items to-go! They offer various types of bread, cakes, cookies, pastries, pies, seasonal items, and even breakfast and savory goodies (quiches, homestyle chicken noodle soup, ham, cheddar, scallion scones, baked ziti, etc.). They also have 'day old' items that are marked 50% off. I had a Big Tom Turkey cookie, which was a butter cookie made with cinnamon fondant icing and tie-dye style tails - the cookie was buttery and thick, and I loved the cinnamon taste to them - YUM! I stopped by recently and also purchased another set of their tasty cookie (this time, it was 'Leave it to Beaver' theme - SO CUTE!), as well as their housemade 'poptarts' - definitely much better than the ones served at the popular chain of restaurants, as the pastry itself was flaky, had a great ratio of the icing, and the filling was SO tasty! I opted for the strawberry lemon, strawberry rhubarb, and the raspberry - they were very yummy! Staff were super welcoming and super friendly; note that this is a warehouse/kitchen site, so there will be a limited selection of items you can purchase. Just go through the double doors behind the usual parked van, left of the main building entrance - someone will readily receive you! Such a cute local spot, and I can't to try the rest of their deliciousness. +housebaked items +delicious cookies! +go through the double doors to the left by the driveway +friendly staff! +plenty of free street parking read more

Emma was so helpful! She helped me with an over the phone purchase for a gift that was out of stock online, and she made it so smooth and easy. Thank you so much- my in-laws love their anniversary gift! Will absolutely shop here again. read more

Sweets are one of my weaknesses which is why I found myself at Maribeth's table at the Old Town Farmers Market for quite some time!! With so many pastries, pies, breads and cookies it was one hard decision to make. I wanted one of everything because everything looked so good. In an effort to not end up in a sugar coma, I got a few pop tarts, a few cookies, and a few loafs. While I did not taste anything until I got home, the freshness was there!! The cookies were soft , the pop tarts were amazing and I have yet to try the loaf but I assume it is just as delicious as everything else. Bring cash with you as if you need to use a card, it is a $10 min purchase. The gents at the stand were so friendly and worked efficiently to make sure no one had too wait too long. read more

I first found Maribeth's at the OT farmers market and loved to get their toaster pastries and wander down to the water front to eat them. I loved them so much I would take all my guests when visiting for my favorite Saturday morning tradition. Covid hit everyone hard but I loved the pivot that Maribeth's did to online ordering and pickup. I have never had a bad thing from them. Online ordering is easy and most recently I opted to pick up at the farmers market. Everything was ready to go for me. The cake we got was rich without being too overwhelming and just divine. I got a rice crispy treat too this time and I am not sure how they do it but it is the best rice crispy treat I have ever had. I love any excuse to order from Maribeth's because I know everything is amazing. read more

I ordered a substantial amount of bakery products for delivery for Thanksgiving. While I give 5 stars to the quality of the product, I cannot say the same for the shoddy packaging on delivery or the false promise of fresh-baked product: "Orders placed by 4:00 pm will be baked that night and ready for pick-up or delivery the following day (or a later date, if indicated at checkout)." All of my pies were delivered frozen solid, not fresh and stacked one on top of each other in a plastic grocery bag, not even individually packaged in a pie box. If I wanted previously-frozen pies, I'd have baked and frozen them myself. And if I had known the $200 worth of product meant having them shoved in a plastic bag, I'd have taken my business elsewhere. Please rethink your end-to-end quality and be honest about what you're selling. read more

I've been back a few other times since my initial visit and Maribeth's does not disappoint. Amazing baked goodies, from the pies to cookies to everything in between. The quality is there and that said, I don't mind paying for it. You get what you pay for. read more

Not only was the red velvet cake huge, delicious and fairly priced but I am inspired by this company and their ability to pivot during the pandemic. Meeting the owner and hearing about how the majority of their business disappeared when COVID came to town, and yet they didn't lay off a single employee was inspiring. Everything they had for sale looked amazing, and I can attest that the red velvet cake is better than my grandmothers (shh...) So glad I found this gem in my community! read more

Planning on special ordering something again very soon! read more

***UPDATE*** MB went above and beyond to make things right. ********* This review is for MB's customer service. I'm a repeat customer. I place delivery orders every time I have company or special occasions. Most recently, I made an order of six toaster pastries to be delivered on my birthday--one order of Toaster Pastries #1 and one order of Toaster Pastries #2. I received a call from "Tom" the morning of the delivery. He said they didn't have Toaster Pastries #1 and asked if I wanted other flavors instead, so I asked for a trio of the fall flavors as replacement. But when the order arrived, I found that Tom had also replaced my order of Toaster Pastries #2 with the fall flavors as well, with one exception...one of the pastries was replaced with chocolate coconut (I'm allergic to coconut). I called Tom back because this was not at all what I had ordered, and I just wanted a refund at this point. Tom sighed and had me put the order back outside for someone to pick up. I've never heard of a restaurant/bakery wanting their incorrect food back. It wouldn't be sanitary for MB to resell those, so I hope they didn't. MB wanting them to be returned just seems petty. I am disappointed by the entire experience and by how MB would treat a repeat customer after they messed up my order so badly. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from MB Bakery again. read more

Ordered this for a Christmas surprise and they came through! Quick and easy ordering made a great gift for a local Alexandria delivery surprise. Thank you for being my helping elf! read more

Best red velvet cake I've ever had! Beautifully decorated, simple and tasteful. It's the first time I've never had any cake left at a party! The cheesecake was also spot on. The owners are so nice as well!! Can't recommend enough. read more

TEN stars!!!!! Their baked goods are absolutely worth the money!! I love to bake myself (and enjoy it), and many times find when I buy baked goods I am underwhelmed by what I am eating. So far I have had MB's cookies (which are beyond beautifully decorated) and several flavors of poptarts. They are phenomenal!! We visited their location on Colvin street, and Tom (I believe) was so friendly and kind. Next we visited them at the Old Town Farmers Market. Highly recommend. You can order online by 4pm the day before you want to pick up. read more

I wanted to bring some special treats to the staff at the hospital taking care of my husband. I called yesterday and spoke with (Nicole??) who made some recommendations. I ordered 3 boxes of a dozen assorted cookies. To save time I had them delivered to my house so I could bring them with me. It was only $5 for delivery. They have a 2 hour delivery window. I picked 10 to 12 and the delivery person showed up at 10:12 wearing a mask very friendly everything was packaged perfectly and I wish I ordered some extras for me because they look and smell amazing!! They even included extra little special treat which I can't wait to devour. read more

I ordered cookies as a special treat for a friend recovering from surgery. They were exactly what I wanted and Purrfectly adorable when I picked them up (cat themed ). My friend said they were almost too cute to eat, but her husband was sure to confirm this was not the case! They raved about how fresh and delicious the cookies were! Even their own felines wanted in on the treat. I highly recommend Maribeth's bakery to everyone looking to support local businesses right now! read more

We learned of this bakery on NextDoor and thought why not give it a try! That was three weeks ago and we've ordered at least once a week since. We get all our orders delivered to our doorstep. They have always been on time and they text to let you know your order has been delivered. The online ordering process is super simple. Now for the even more important part--the baked goods! The cinnamon rolls were AMAZING. The pumpkin rolls and carrot cake were very delicious. We keep trying new things but are most definitely going to keep the cinnamon rolls and carrot cake on regular rotation. For those looking for challah-the round challah was perfect. The buttermilk oat bread is perfect for sandwiches. We are so happy to have discovered this local gem. read more

I had the best experience working with Nicole at MaryBeths Bakery! I originally ordered 12 toaster pastries but realized I needed 25 total last minute. They were able to individually wrap each pastry as my client requested and they did so without a huff. Not only was their customer service amazing but their toaster pastries were incredible! Thank you Mary Beths! read more

We've been long time fans of Maribeth's Bakery, and have always been blown away by everything and they make. In particular, we love the iced sugar cookies. We recently had them make custom lemon cookies for a birthday party and they were perfection! Nicole, the manager, is always wonderful to work with too. read more

Great selection, delicious bakery and food items, wonderful customer service. Best in Alexandria.

Recommended this bakery to out-of-towner and co-host of wedding shower. She ordered a cake and petit fours: cake was super disappointing and petit fours were fabulous. Cake was REALLY TACKY looking and kind of blah in taste. Didn't even have the same colors as the website photo. Petit fours were outstanding - beautiful, hard-to-find, and outstanding in flavor. read more

During the pandemic they opened up for anyone to order. We've been carb loading since. Got our son his first birthday cake from them. It was so good. Even by day 3 it was still better than fresh cakes. Gotten a couple orders of cookies, bread, pop tarts. Don't put the pop tarts in the toaster like I did the first time. And I wish there were more versatile cookie ordering options. The scones were awesome. The challah loaf was so darn good. All of it was good. read more

Really good experience! I ordered delivery for a few cheesecakes. They came exactly on time, and were nicely packaged and very tasty! We'll definitely order from here again. read more

Excellent pies!!! Flakey, light crusts, traditional and unique fillings. Great delivery!!!

I preordered a king cake online and picked it up at the Alexandria farmers market on Saturday morning. I grabbed a few scones and croissants as well. Everything was really good. Croissants were light and buttery; scones were not overly sweet (which I like but my husband wasn't wild about them). The king cake was picture perfect and delicious. The employees running the stand were very nice and helpful. I see the MB trucks around Old Town all the time and now I understand why! I will definitely order from here again. read more
