Praline Bakery & Bistro 4611 Sangamore Road, Bethesda, MD 20816

"After a few years , Stopped at the downstairs entrance bistro area on a Sunday afternoon for a coffee and sandwich after many years. Food was ok, but space was very unappealing; glass windows dirty and overly covered in signs, the abandoned front welcome bar area was scattered with piles of half opened cardboard boxes of supplies, and the fireplace sitting area was littered with crumbs and bits of food all over the floor and tables . Won’t be back"

"I really love this neighborhood gem. Pretty much everything they bake is delicious. My kids adore the brownies. The service is friendly and fast. Highly recommend this spot."

"I have been at this locations several times, just to buy cakes. I think they are great regardless of the price. And their costumer service was always great until today. I came in with my mother and there were two kids at the front that didn’t even look like they were old enough to be working. They didn’t even greet me or asked if I needed any help I had to say Hello and asked for help. As the girl was getting the cake out of he display to place it on the box, the chocolate squares fell off and she said “ oh we can always attach them” she picked them up and attached them back to the cake. Sadly I really needed the cake and that was the only chocolate cake they had in display. Will I ever go back? I don’t think so."

"We tried the bistro part for the first time for a quick early dinner on a Sunday evening. They have a small patio upstairs which we enjoyed (but had to move indoors due to mosquitoes!). It was quiet and the service was good. Onion soup was delicious! We also ordered two caesar salads (salmon and chicken), which were very big portions and delicious as well. We paid 10$ for soup, 22$ for salmon caesar salad and, 17$ for chicken caesar salad. I’d like to try the bakery part soon. Overall, it was a solid 4-4,5 star. I recommend this business."

"This is mainly in regards to one item. The chicken tenders at the bakery used to be super good. Hand breaded and all perfectly irregular . Last Friday however, there was a dramatic change ! They were now from bagged frozen. Not sure what’s going on, just hope the quality of other things doesn’t go down. Oh also, some days the croissants are pretty awesome. Days like Sunday and Saturday they don’t seem to be as good ."
