When I tell you that the flakey perfection of these croissants is unmatched, I mean it. My pistachio croissant even was warm?!? I come here every single morning I'm DC without a fail, that's how good it is. I've tried a few other things as well and it's truly one of the best bakeries I can think of. They're also dog-friendly as if this wasn't perfect enough! read more

Delicious perfectly flaky, crispy yet soft inside, and airy croissants with lovely layers. Got to try the almond croissant and pistachio croissant and they were both perfect and packed with flavor. No liqueur or alcohol flavor sensed so I like that. A bit pricey but worth it imo. Also got an assorted box of 6 as a gift for our friend, and she loved the unique flavors such as black sesame almond! I was told one was passionfruit at the bakery but friend said it was purple inside and thought it was ube. Definitely will return if I'm ever in DC again! Also cute decor esp if you like dogs :) read more

OMG! I can't remember the last time I've been this WOW'ed by croissants in the US! A bakery that's only open 4 days a week for 4.5 hours made me want to try Nino's even more during my stay in DC.

There's a reason the line often trails out of the store. Small batch croissants and other pastries made every morning and a limited coffee menu, you are guaranteed consistency here! It's dangerous to have so close to my office. I've tried the whole menu...possibly twice over. So here's the scoop: want to try something new? Black sesame croissant or the the passionfruit croissant. Want a classic? Plain croissant, chocolate croissant, or almond croissant. Want a wildcard favorite that you'll get every time you come? Get the adorable sfogliatella. The staff are super nice, they get you in and out, and you're always guaranteed to see a different selection on any given day among the dozen or so varieties. I love a good espresso drink, and they pull a good latte. So needless to say, I will keep spending a healthy DC $10 here for a pastry and coffee for as long as I'm around. read more

This place is an amazing experience from the moment you walk in til your last bite! The staff were so friendly and helpful! They took their time to describe each bakery item to help me decide since it was my first time in and everything looked so good! The macchiato was perfect, the blueberry scone was so fresh, soft on the inside and crisp on outside. And let me tell you...the pistachio croissant is the best thing I've had...flavor bursts in your mouth of buttery flakey croissant and a sweet finish of the pistachio. OMG! I will be back! read more

A great spot for a solid croissant. A pretty small shop without too much seating, but the line moves super quickly, so don't worry about waiting too much! I got the black sesame croissant and the passionfruit croissant. The black sesame had an absolutely wonderful crisp on the exterior, but the inside wasn't quite as chewy or buttery as I would want from a classic croissant. The black sesame flavor also didn't really come through at all; despite the strong color, I honestly didn't taste it much. Still great overall! The passionfruit croissant was also great; the passionfruit filling was much more flavorful and packed a powerful punch, so would definitely recommend (if it's not a limited/day special). Overall, would definitely give it a try if you're into pastries!! read more

This place is a 5 star but I haven't been able to get anything from them in the last year because their hours are the most inconvenient thing to work around.

But I just want to treat myself to a simple thing that makes life feel better even when it's not. My favorite croissant. . . Will we ever meet again : ( read more

My husband and I love desserts so naturally I am always trying out new bakeries. Nino's has been on my radar since it opened and I finally had the chance to order it via Grubhub. They packaged everything very well and the pastries arrived quickly, which made for a perfect Friday brunch treat. The croissants were superb and rich. I ordered the 6-assortment box and was happy to see it included a great variety of: hazelnut, chocolate, passionfruit, guava, flan/nata, and a dark rye (maybe?) with chocolate hazelnut. To be honest, they all were phenomenal and I would gladly order another box of them. My husband and I split all of them over the weekend since they were quite large and a bit too rich to inhale without feeling guilty. I loved the Italian-twist to the croissants and it had a great flakiness, yet dense richness to it. Highly recommend. I can't wait to order their other pastries! This is now on our fave bakeries list. read more

Their butter croissant is nothing short of spectacular- the outer shell is crisp and flaky with layers of buttery goodness within. There are unique flavors as well such as black sesame And pistachio. Order the day ahead to get everything you want . This place sell out fast and is limited in the hours of operation. Worth it if you can get there for one! read more

Been trying out different bakeries in DC and came up on Nino's. After reading about them on their website I learned Nino's is named after the owners dachshund! As a fellow owner of a dachshund I was instantly hooked. I ordered for pickup the night before to ensure I got what I wanted. I went with an assortment of their croissants and picked it up when they opened the following day. I ended up getting the Chocolate Hazelnut Croissant, Passion Fruit Croissant, Almond Croissant, Black Sesame Almond Croissant, Chocolate Croissant, and Flan Croissant. All their pastries are beautiful and so many cool variations and flavors! Out of the croissants we got I think the almond and chocolate hazelnut were my favorites. Love the vibe of Nino's and I can't wake to come back for more. read more

Stumbled on this while on a run; I smelled butter and followed my nose. It was tasty! Not my favourite croissant pastry ever BUT their black sesame croissant was delicious (great filling and you got the crisp flake on the outside and honeycomb inside). I'd definitely go back again! Their open-face pastries had interesting flavours but texture-wise wasn't as good as the croissant to me. The poached pear + almond butter combo was different (and the poached pear was poached to perfection). The sfogliatelle was a little too crispy for me and the pastry cream was a little bland; BUT, it is a thing of beauty knowing how much work it takes to make. Everything else I tried didn't stand out in my memory but I remember them being decent. Def worth the stop if you're in the area! read more

My husband and I are staying at The Hamilton Hotel around the corner. We spotted this in Google Maps before we even left Detroit to come to DC. Lots of rave reviews about the pistachio croissant. It did NOT disappoint! We both thoroughly enjoyed our croissants which were still warm as they were only open less than an hour when we got there. Very tiny place, easy to find, offers croissants and small pastries, and has coffee drinks. We got a pistachio and a chocolate croissant. Tomorrow I hope to go back for the milk chocolate Earl Grey croissant! read more

Hands down, best croissants in the city. Their flavors change seasonally, but we've tried the tiramisu, black sesame, and mango croissants, and a blueberry scone. I'd probably skip the scone next time; it was good, but the croissants are definitely where they shine. The tiramisu croissant was incredible, probably the size of my head, and filled with a ton of cream. Black sesame had more nuanced-- but equally incredible-- flavor to it. The mango had a yummy tang to it, but probably was my least favorite of the three. I've heard that they have a seasonal pumpkin croissant. Might have to stop by to try it! read more

The croissants are nothing to swoon over if you have had croissants from Paris or New York. The plain croissant is fine, nothing special, a little too dry for my liking. The chocolate again is fine, nothing to write home about. I know it may be blasphemous to say that these pastries are nothing special but they are not worth the rave reviews. If you are passing by and want to spend money on a croissant, go to the Paul's down the block which surprisingly makes pretty consistent pastries for slightly more flavor and price point. read more

I was in town for a work trip and was able to stop in for a quick breakfast run before I got my day started. Nino's is in a convenient location and offers super flakey and delicious pastries. We tried the black sesame almond croissant and the knot, both of which were amazing! They were unbelievably flakey and very flavorful. They had a smaller coffee menu and a small space overall, but perfect for grab and go. They also have adorable dog photos all over their walls, which was a plus.

We went for a late Thursday breakfast (~9:30) and were able to find some seating but they were at 90%+ capacity. We crammed our group of four into a spot normally meant for 2-3 people. Seating is at a premium as there are people using the restaurant as a place to work out of because they serve coffee. It's a bit of an odd dynamic since people need to sit to eat and sometimes tables are occupied by laptops instead of dining patrons. The food: Lamb Meatball Shakshuka - I had the regular Shakshuka the first time visiting, since I wanted to try the original. Stewed tomatoes with eggs served with toast. I think the lamb is a nice upgrade since the meat cuts the acidity of the tomato, and there is just a lot of tomato. Strawberry & Raspberry Cheesecake Cup - this delivers exactly what I would want for a cheesecake in a cup. Cheesecake is in the middle of for texture between fluffy and very dense cheesecake. Sesame Latte - an interesting drink fusion - coffee with black sesame. I think this is fairly well balanced with it tasting a little like black sesame and a little like coffee. Pistachio and Ham & Cheese Croissants - we asked these to be heated prior to eating. I thought they were slightly crusty on the outside, inside was soft without much structure (a little flat). They were ok and I liked the Pistachio one better. Overall, a solid, clean and modern place to get a beverage or meal. They offer some unique items to make things interesting.

Found this place during the French market and it was delightful!…read more Mille-feuille is my favorite pastry so I was excited to see they have a caramel flavored version. It ended up being not my favorite thing I had there but it had a great ratio of cream filling to puff pastry!! What stood out were the croissants, I ended up buying a few to take home, the chocolate croissants were some of the best I've had in the area!! Loved this find, I'll definitely be back!

This was our go to breakfast spot. I am a quiche officianado, and they did not disappoint. I had…read morethe bacon and the leek the next day. Both are delicious. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is perfectly filled with flavorful ingredients. The wife loved the croissant with chocolate and loved the cappuccinos. Go here for a quaint, French style breakfast. Satisfying and memorable.

So yes, I fell for the social media hype and made my way to Yellow... only to be greeted by a line…read morethat looked like it required a boarding pass. Hard pass. I genuinely think social media has us all in a chokehold--one place goes viral and suddenly perfectly good spots nearby are just... ignored. Thankfully, I have zero FOMO, so I pivoted and walked into this place instead. Best decision. It was busy--don't get me wrong--but in a normal, "weekend brunch rush" kind of way. Not the "wait an hour to prove a point to Instagram" kind of chaos. We grabbed a cold brew, a pain suisse, and a croque monsieur. Everything was reasonably priced, and more importantly, everything looked (and tasted) ridiculously good. The backyard? Genuinely stunning. The kind of aesthetic that people think they're getting in those viral spots. We grabbed a couple of chairs, soaked it all in, and ended up having a really beautiful, relaxed brunch. They've got water stations, the staff is happy to walk you through the menu if you need it--just an overall easy, pleasant experience. Honestly, unless your main goal is to tell people you went to the Georgetown hotspot of the week, skip the hype and come here. If your goal is actually good food and a great vibe, this place delivers.

Not nearly as good as it used to be. Pate was bland…read more Totally flavorless. Served with no mustard or cornichon. Even the opera cake also disappointing.. Sorry to see this busy, expensive Georgetown cafe going down hill.

Adding a few more pastries to the list…read more Financier was delicious, but also very sweet. Monkey bread, very sticky, as it should be, and you can really taste the whole grains The scone was a bit too dry for me, and the fruit inside of it was a bit offputting? But nonetheless, the texture was good and enough sweetness.

One of the city's best bakery's in my opinion. One of the first things that drew me to Seylou was…read morethe fact the they mill their own grains in house and that they use whole grains at that. They never skip on quality, which is a testament to why they seemingly always sellout on weekends. If you get nothing else, then at least get the almond croissant.
