Praline Bakery

“The almond croissant was incredible and the cupcakes delicious.”

Visited on 5/9 around 12pm. The vanilla and chocolate macarons were great, and the younger cashier was friendly. I went back for another round of macarons, but the older lady who attended me seemed grumpy, didn’t speak at all, and came across with an attitude. It’s definitely on the pricey side, and unfortunately the service during my second purchase kind of took away from the experience. Nothing too special overall :/

I didn’t get any this time but had them twice before and the same with the sandwiches.

Near Hilton's Canopy at the Wharf is a Bethesda-based bakery owned by two pastry chefs who met while working at the White House. Here's our experience visiting after ice skating (located at the other end of the Wharf): 1) Food: My four-year-old daughter and wife each got a macaroon- one chocolate and one raspberry. They both really enjoyed it. One makes for a great small snack, especially for a toddler. 2) Drinks: I ordered a small hot chocolate and loved it. It's thicker hot chocolate and less sweet. However, the thickness makes it very rich so a small was more than enough. 3) Space: It's
