Nino's Bakery

"Absolutely worth the wait. The pear and almond danish (pictured here with a big chomp taken out of it because I couldn’t resist) is flaky, buttery, not too sweet. The sfogliatelle is light and crisp, with subtly salted layers and a custardy citrus filling with a hint of cinnamon. My new life mission is to try every single one of their beautiful pastries."

"We tried 3 different croissants and all of them were amazing. We especially loved the “black sesame” one. We went there at 9am and there was a long line of people waiting outside but the croissants were worth the wait. Staff were friendly. We highly recommend it!"

"The croissants are flaky and layered and buttery like all great ones are. The flavored ones are fantastic as well. But... This place is open 3 days a week but it won't have all their items for sale when they open that first day. So don't get there too early. Also, you can't get there too late or things will be sold out."

"We made this our breakfast one morning while in DC. Great croissants and other baked goods! The bread layers were flaky and buttery in all of them. Fillings were just the right amount and full of flavor. We tried several items and enjoyed every one. We will be back whenever we spend time in DC."
