    I was in the area at the end of March sorry it took me so long to review. I was traveling to dc and walked by and got a grime of the pastries display in the window and cannot hold back and walked right in. I saw so many yummy treat but I just have dinner and a drink so now perfect time for dessert and they have my fav which are macarons. So many favors. So I bought a dozen with all the favors and it came with the little box. The shop is spacious and well decorated. The cashier is friendly.

    Located at the Wharf, this bakery is absolutely amazing and worth a pit stop before you walk around! The interior is adorable and the service was so fast. I got an iced latte and a brownie -- it was delicious. I wish I lived here so I could go back often!!

    Praline Bakery on the SW Waterfront at The Wharf is your classic boutique bakery serving cakes, specialty cookies, artisanal pastries, cupcakes, and sandwiches. They also serve cafe drinks. It is situated on the bottom retail floor of the Hyatt House Hotel, with entry from the driveway adjacent to Hank's Oyster Bar. As you'd expect of a boutique bakery, Praline Bakery has inviting decor with plenty of color pop and pretty artwork. The customer service is also good. Overall a good experience to satisfy your sweet tooth while on a stroll on the waterfront. Give them a try.

    Sorry I took a bite before the camera. The lemon bar and the raspberry pame.

    We went late in the day and they were sold out of the fruit tarte which I wanted so bad, when i saw online haha. The lemon bar is super tart which is my favorite!!! it was super yummy. The raspberry pame, i don't remember the second word. Essentially it was a chocolate raspberry mousse cake almost. Both very good. Would recommend ! Went back a second time, the fruit tarte is so to die for it has a sweet custard on which the fruit lie. 15/10 yes a 15/10 bc it's so awesome and good and yummy and crisp. Lemon almond cake is sweet and delicate, very subtle.

    Sadly - gluten free peeps this place is not for you!! All we can eat is macarons. I got one, and it was just "ok." I would love to see more gluten free options here. The ambiance is cute, the service was fine - however nothing really stood out to me about this bakery.

    For a first timer this was a good quick choice in the SW area, just randomly looking for baked cookies and Praline didn't disappoint. The service was great very friendly environment and workers are patient. The menu options are not that different in variety but for my first visit I decided on snickerdoodle & the praline cookie itself. Snickerdoodle 2.7/5 only because i was a little disappointed that it was pretty bland and not much flavor Praline 5/5 everything i never imagined, definitely a favorite.

    I will usually not review a store rather than give a bad review. Not this time. First, they have no artificial sweeteners. The guy behind the counter smuggly told me "sugar is better for you". While I don't disagree in theory, as a bariatric patient, regular sugar in a drink will make me very sick. We found some Splenda nearby and went back for some desperately needed coffee. I wanted a coffee, they were out of drip coffee. OK, got a latte that was lukewarm at best. They had "bad for you" sugar-free syrup at least. My husband got an iced coffee with regular milk because they were out of milk substitutes. They were out of the cold brew coffee as well, so he got a nitro that was barely drinkable. The pumpkin spice cookie was just OK and a bit small for the price. We should have turned the corner and gone to Starbucks. I think it would have been cheaper and I know it would have been better.

    Awesome place to chill and people watch. Food and service were great. We enjoyed this cafe.

    After lunch at the wharf, we strolled along the boardwalk and happened upon Praline Bakery just as our sweet tooth started to twitch. We marveled at all the goodies behind the glass case and settled on a lemon bar and some cookies. Deee-licious! The lemon bar was tart and smooth, not too sweet, and it hit the spot. The cookies were soft and firm, a little chewy and full of flavor - special shout out for the peanut butter cookie and the chocolate espresso cookie, my favorites! If you're wandering around the wharf and looking for some goodies, give Praline Bakery a try!

    A charming little bakery offering a wide selection of drinks and pastries. Our favorite was the macarons--they were a delightful treat after a long day of walking.

    Thanks to the young lady who stayed open right until 8:00 p.m. We walked in about 7:54 p.m. and were greeted immediately. I asked her if she was about to close and she said yes. She was very polite and patient. I asked for a recommendation and she named a few but that carrot cupcake in the window was calling my name, "Nessa, pick me, pick me." So I picked the carrot cupcake. Got a chocolate cupcake too because well of course we have to try a traditional flavor. And we tried the recommended lemon cookie and a chocolate chip. Yes! That carrot cupcake was to die for! I wasn't a fan of the cookies because they were super hard but the cupcakes, YES! I'll be back for more.

    These macaroons were delicious definitely a must stop spot in the WARF. I had the cinnamon and the orange macaroons and they wer both delicious and tasty. Great place open areas sitting Inside or outside. The staff is very attentive and knows their macaroons. Definitely will go here again when I'm in DC.

    Lemon drop, lemon ginger, Florentine

    We always love a good bakery. We walked back and forth to check out all the items before making the decision of what to get. We got a few things: macarons (lemon, mango, apricot)- delicious; lemon ginger cookies- to die for; lemon drop cookies- pretty delicious - great combination of sweetness and tartness; crunch bar- very tasty; Florentine- very lovely. Not the sexist looking cookies but they were pretty amazing. Definitely would revisit if we are in the area.

But great place to bring your laptop, do a little work and order some treats. All the baked goods were very yummy. And the barista was very helpful and gave great recommendations! Will definitely be back!!

    Good: the vegan cupcakes are probably the best around…read more Bad: their prices are high in comparison with GF bakeries basically in any major city, and they have an illegal "No Cash" policy (illegal under DC law. The owner should look up the law because she's way out of compliance: https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/laws/23-187), but charge a 3% fee if you pay by credit card, which you are required to. They basically give you no option to avoid paying a fee. (In response to the owner's response below: They have a sign that says NO CASH, so is a customer supposed to believe they'll accept cash IF the customer has exact change, as the owner says they will? And if they do accept that cash, then they would, in fact, have cash on hand anyway, which undercuts her claim they have no cash on hand...but they don't because they have a sign that says NO CASH. Every other business in the community doesn't blame the city for their own non-compliant policies, as the owner does, and accepts cash in the same circumstances. Plenty of places are happy to take cash and prefer it, and it is required by DC law. I was surprised to see this NO CASH sign after emailing with the owner about it *a year and a half ago.* I walked right out when I saw the sign.) They also now have a self-serve bar which invites the spread of things like norovirus. There are no sneeze guards. They make it hard for me to support them even though I really have been trying to for years.

But, that's very preferential to my palate... the roast they serve from small planes is beautiful. The espresso beans are single origin and they serve a blend for their drip coffee. But the gem of this coffee shop is the baked goods! It is absolutely the most delicious and well made bread I've ever had in a coffee shop. I feel like they should be a bakery that serves coffee on the side. Their mushroom toast is out of this world! Like the best thing I've had in a long time. Their sourdough and multigrain bread is the foundation and the most beautiful one at that. The sauce is magnificent. Their croissant is as close to magic as you can get... I just wish I had come in time to have it warm. Their avocado toast is served with fresh piles of beautiful avocado. But again, the multigrain bread is the star! Their Pain Suisse... magic in a pastry... chocolate and pistachio wrapped in flaky croissant! beautiful and delicate... it's a must get!

    One of the best bakeries in Washington, D.C. is here. Their original location is near Union Market…read morewith this location at The Wharf being their second. Here's what's going for them. 1) Food & Drink: Every pastry they make is worth the money and calories, especially their pain suisse. (It's the best I've ever had.) You can go savory with their quiche or ham and cheese croissant or go sweet with monkey bread, basque cheesecake, and more. To drink, they have a full coffee menu and free water in a jug at the condiment counter. 2) Service: Despite busyness, their staff often are patient, calm, and efficient. 3) Space: It's much larger than their original location with several long tables, small tables, window seats, and more. There's a unisex restroom in the back and a door that connects to their neighbor Politics & Prose. 4) Area: There are many restaurants and shops nearby along the water. Parking can be expensive or hard to find so take the Metro (Southwest Waterfront) or ride Capital Bikeshare.

Even though it's a small operation, this pretzel shop truly brings joy to our community. They also offer delicious breakfast sandwiches, pretzel dogs, and various tea and coffee options. I was lucky to get all three of my pretzels from the oven. I especially like how the cinnamon sugar pretzel is topped with icing instead of dust--it's much easier to eat and still gives you that sweet, satisfying treat. The staff are quick and friendly. If they're baking a flavor, they'll let you know how long you'll need to wait for that fresh batch. There's plenty of seating, both inside and outside on picnic tables, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy.

Lots of patrons were picking up take-away and the in-person ordering line moved quickly. Definitely kid friendly with plenty in-door and out-door seating. We placed our order and waited to be called over the PA system. I'm not sure why they call you based on the items you ordered rather then the receipt number, but such is life. The breakfast pretzel was served room temperature, eggs were not to my liking, but good flavor from the bacon and cheese. The pretzel itself self was dry and kinda flavorless. The salted pretzel had a soft interior and crusty exterior with nice salt flakes but didn't live up to my expectations. The pub cheese was a welcome purchase to polish off the pretzel. The sweet pretzel was the best from our order. Pretzel was still dry but the cinnamon sweet topping made the top enjoyable.
