This might be dangerous. A Spring Mill on my daily commute route. I have been watching the construction of this place for months now. It seemed to take forever, but that day came yesterday. I had to make a pit stop here. It is on the right side of the road on my journey home from work. They use to sell their bread in the Co-op across the street, but they wanted to expand and sell sandwiches to the lunch time crowd. I plan to try the melted mozzarella & pesto. The location is good. There are four meters on Grant Ave right next to the bakery that take a minimum of $0.25 for twenty minutes. After parking here I realized I could have just drove down half a block and parked for free. Oh, well. Their breads are awesome! I will be back for a loaf next week. For now, I'll settle for a chocolate chip cookie for now, and a scone for later. Both for just about $3.50. The breads aren't so cheap, but they are so good, and fresh! They always use all natural ingredients and no preservatives. If you buy a loaf and can't finish it within 3-4 days, freeze half. It is best when not refrigerated. So many daily breads, and breads only offered on certain days (I love the Spinach Feta). This will be my carbilicious downfall. read more

I'm sad I don't actually live near this place because I would love to be the kind of person that can just pop up to the local bakery to get bread for whatever occasion. I love a good scone, and this place has scones that are the perfect not-too-sweetness. I do wish they were a tad crumblier (just a personal preference). Seasonal and staple items, both sweet and savory. The cinnamon swirl is yummm and perfect for French toast when it gets a little stale. There's some indoor and outdoor seating but it seems made more for a quick in and out. read more

I cannot rave about this place enough. The people are consistently amazing, generous, it's such a nice atmosphere. And of course, the food. You can't go wrong with virtually anything here. I've pretty much tried it all. The prices are reasonable despite the high quality and great flavors. read more

Best breads here made with wholesome ingredients and nutritional just as an old times. Bread to strengthen your heart mind and spirit. Challah bread on fridays Ali's out standing on the Sabbath. Enjoy read more

Listen, this was a pretty good breakfast sandwich. Top to bottom, the only thing was that I asked for my biscuit warmed up prior to the sandwich being made. But other than that it was damn good. This joint is good size, taste good. A1 all around. read more

Good food but I waited too late to get bread for Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah. Nice restaurant with plenty other food selections. Nice customer service which is key read more

I had a cinnamon roll one day and the strawberry cream cheese danish another day. Both very good. I wanted to try everything as it all looked delish! Great friendly service as well. read more

Wonderful! What a treat. I don't know how we missed this place, we've lived in the area now nearly two years. But there we were, last Sunday: hot, hungry, thirsty from tending our new garden. We were greeted by a clean, beautiful, cool, atmosphere and friendly service. We began at the pastry counter. Quiches, turnovers (both sweet and savory), scones, pound cakes, cookies...we were drooling! So we started our order. But then I saw they had sandwiches, so we had to get two. Both the man and I tried the pesto, mozzarella, tomato with pesto sandy and it was so good! The bread was whole wheat, really chewy and moist--tasted just like homemade. The pesto was delicious as were the tomatoes, I'll bet they were found at the nearby farmers' market or TPSS. Mozzarella was squeaky fresh. They even agreed to add some pickles on the side. We had to order once again as I spied Wheat Montana hot cereal packaged for sale. If you haven't had this it's so delicious! Turns out most all the wheat used in this facility is from Wheat Montana in Three Forks! After that discovery, I became a forever fan of Spring Mill. I used to live in Montana and know how special those grains are. These folks must be serous about bread if they're bringing that quality to the community each day. My final purchase was a second Boylan lemon seltzer. Just another little treasure waiting for you at Spring Mill Bread. We'll be back next Sunday! read more

Absolutely no room for bad press here. First the place is cute and welcoming, like even if you planned to order to-go you'll ending up sitting for a few minutes. Second, I needed lunch at 4pm on a Friday and the lovely lady at the counter was very helpful and suggested the chicken salad. Got it toasted with lettuce and tomato and with the first bite I was a satisfied customer. The chicken salad was fresh, clearly made that day and f-l-a-v-o-r-f-u-l! It was so good I nearly inhaled it. I know the place was good because I found myself walking back down the street 15 minutes later for dessert. Of course, I was staring at all the baked goodness while waiting for the sandwich. Ended up with the carrot cake and as soon as I started eating it I had a feeling of de ja vu. I suddenly could care less what was going on around me and totally focused on how rich this gluten free cake was, how the nuts added a perfect hint of crunch, how the cream cheese was light and whipped well. It was the same feeling I had when I started eating the chicken salad sandwich. Now that's what I call good food, the kind that makes you stop in your tracks to savor and really enjoy what you're eating. Great addition to TP! read more

Spring Mill Bread - Gluten free, don't taste gluten free, carrot cake the size of the container for $3! - Bakeries Near Me - Takoma Park, Maryland

Delicious bread and pastries, friendly yet prompt service in a sunlit, airy space... the only thing missing is coffee!

Saw on the Main Street Takoma facebook page that Spring Mill Bread Co. finally soft launch opened today. We came over here to check out their store. Just bread and baked goods for now, but all looks delicious. Next weekend they'll fully open with sandwiches as well. I'm looking forward to a new spot in Takoma to hang out at for some food and a spot to work a bit. We bought a loaf of bread, but haven't tried it yet. It's sitting in my bag as I walk home. Will update once we try the bread. :) Update: 7 grain crunch bread is excellent. Will be buying more bread from here. read more

The Spring Mill in Takoma Park makes the BEST sandwiches. They are huge and delicious. Every time we're going on a trip we order them in advance for pick up to take on the road with us. Also, the staff is super friendly and attentive. It goes without saying that the baked goods are killer. I highly recommend this shop for a quick sandwich or a sweet treat or both. read more

Found this place while biking from D.C. and into Takoma Park on the Maryland side. First, I was happy to see a local business still open during COVID-19 and gladly support it. Second -- BREAD! My first visit was a while ago. I bought a lemon square, raspberry cheese danish and small bottle of Martinelli's apple juice (best juice on the planet!). It was all great. My second trip was a few weeks later. Another bottle of Martinelli's apple juice a breakfast croissant with egg, cheese, bacon, tomato and a bag of chips. It HIT THE SPOT! It was so good! Everything melded perfectly. I have to say each time I visited, the staff was nice, wearing their PPE and the orders were quick to be served. read more

We've been buying our bread from Spring Mill for several years and love it. We veered away once but came back because nothing else compares to their peasant white. As COVID started impacting businesses around Takoma, Spring Mill seemed to manage through the required changes quite seamlessly. In fact, when yeast was out everywhere else, we were able to buy some fresh yeast from here in April and I loved how my homemade bread turned out using it. This review is really for the past year - they've been phenomenal during COVID. They implemented user-friendly covid protocols immediately. There's no need to order online- you can walk-in, with a mask of course, and buy what you need- as long it's during their business hours. The cakes and pastries are delicious, too. When we want a treat, we go for carrot cake, sweet and savory turnovers, or scones! read more

Frequent here a lot but decided to leave a review after today because the young woman at the counter who helped me (Luna) was so cheerful and such a great worker! The portions are GREAT for the price, and a lot of what is sold here (pastries, beverages, etc.) is unique and artisanal read more

Spring Mill Bread - Cream cheese brownie with Nantucket nectars! - Bakeries Near Me - Takoma Park, Maryland

If I could give this place a minus five I would. The stuff is overpriced and not very well made. The service is inept at best. And never buy anything from the left side of the case. The cakes are always stale. I actually heard one of the counter people say, "Well, we can't just throw it out." I guess there really is no reason to if people are stupid enough to buy it. read more

Breads and sandwiches baked using their own flour, sweet baked items and snacks. So far so good! Hours Monday through Friday 7 to 8, Saturday 8 to 7 and Sunday 10 to 6. Looking forward to watching them grow. read more

Today I bought 3 lemon bars and when I got home I took them out of the box to put them in a Tupperware container, when I took the bars out one of them had an extremely long hair stuck to the top of the lemon bar, longer than 12 inches, not very appetizing , just glad I found it before my family started eating them. I noticed no one had on any hair covers in the store. -Brian read more

Lovely place. Incredible staff and yummy treats. Chicken salad sandwich is remarkable!

spinach & feta turnovers here are amazing! Stay away from the mushroom and cheddar turnover... They have been under baked every time I've risk trying out a new one. read more

I am a weekend visitor and have noticed the quality of things have gone down. I usually get the peasant bread that is good and never disappoints; however lately it seems like I get day old bread. Today I had the vanilla cupcakes for me and two others - I have bragged about the cupcakes - today they were not fresh. The cupcakes are $3 and should have been $0.50 that frosting was hard and the cake was not fresh and very very dense. I have been a faithful weekend visitor but I need to find another spot for fresh baked goods. read more

39 minute wait for a sandwich. Far too many people in the store in line for up to 15 minutes - not adapting well to the challenging circumstances. read more

This place has amazing pastries and also amazing customer service. The rocky road brownie is to die for and their challah bread is incredible. Today, I had a really fantastic service with Izzy, one of the staff. She was extremely attentive, friendly and earnest! Keep her around! Thanks for great quality, unique foods in a sunny, bright atmosphere. read more

Ive been to the Spring Mill located in Bethesda many many times, so when looking for a bite to eat near Washington Adventist, we decided to try this new location. Its great to see the same quality of food at this location as well, and the same earthy and homey decor inside. Besides the great bread, the sandwiches were well made and very fresh. One complaint though- its not very organized for ordering. It would be great if they could clearly set up some kind of line- no one knew where to stand or who had ordered yet. A good lunch spot though! read more

I was hoping to find some hearty whole-grain bread at this store in Takoma Park. Unfortunately, the clerk was uncertain which of their breads have the most whole-grain ingredients, which seemed odd for someone working at a business with the word "bread" in its name. Even the store web site doesn't provide an ingredients list in standardized format, only a "nutritional analysis" that's somewhat helpful. The bread I finally bought tasted sweet and had a soft, spongy texture. Not really what I was looking for, but I'm sure lots of their customers love it. read more

No words can express how good this place is. The people who work here are always so nice and the food never disappoints.

Welp, I've been here a buncha times now. And I'm sad to report that there is only one type of bread with a nice crust on it at Spring Mill: the baguettes. They sell out pretty fast. Most of what they make are loaves of bread (sandwich style) that are soft. I wish, wish, wish there were other breads available that were crusty on the outside. Please Spring Mill, hear my prayers! read more

Gosh this place is good. I had a slice of their ranch pie. Fluffy eggs, cheese, and poblano peppers so good. The other baked goods looked great but I'm trying to cut on carbs and didn't have any, but delicious smell. read more

I love this bakery! I go there with my friends all the time on my way to school! Their sweets and treats are awesome, and so is their bread. The only bad thing is that it is a bit overpriced. Regardless, I 100% recommend! read more

Great spot to meet friends and grab a pastry. Food was good and environment was cozy.

The other day the man in front of me in line had some issues with the magnetic strip on his credit card. The owner told him: "that's okay, you'll pay next time." I love great community trustworthy stores! OH, and the sticky bun was great! read more

an update, raising a star because of the quality of the baked goods. However, a couple of issues: - I still wish they would have covers on the baked goods behind the glass wall. Insects are still landing on the food. - The coffee is wildly inconsistent. It is often lukewarm or just plain cold, and sometimes quite watered down. Please re-train the staff to show them how to correctly brew the coffee, and please don't serve cold coffee. read more

Have been waiting for so long to have a Spring Mill in Takoma. I usually go to Bethesda to get there amazing bread! I ate there twice this weekend .OMG the sandwiches are amazing! Pesto Mozzarella heated on seven grain bread to die for. The lemon squares are my daughters most favorite. The place looks wonderful and the food and service great! Will be there every week for sure ! read more

The bread is good! But where's the vegan stuff? In Takoma Park (if nowhere else), I expect there to be at least one pastry or cookie or whatever for the vegan TKPK crowd. Spring Mill, please consider! It is tough to access the store/parking for the store, depending on what road and which direction you are coming from. Nothing to be done about that, but it definitely informs whether I stop by or not. read more

Great choice of bread that is fresh and tasty. They have good pastries and breakfast sandwich.

The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and I tried a pesto/asiago bread yesterday that was to die for. Their pop tarts are my favorite though :) Keep up the great work! read more

We go here often because it's close. Their baked goods are very inconsistent. Most of the time everything is dry. One time we purchased a coffee cake to take home and it was severely under-baked to the point of being inedible. We had to take it back. Their sandwiches are good. read more

I live in Takoma Park and have been to Spring Mill Bakery several times... and their products have been fine. Today I bought a baguette and a piece of turtle cheesecake (March 6, 2018). The cheesecake was the worse piece of cheesecake I have ever had. They should honestly get rid of this recipe. Even my 8 year old daughter didn't like it. If you offer refunds for unhappy customers, please let me know. I want Spring Mill Bakery to do well, but you have to do way better than this. read more
