Praline Bakery

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 flavorPraline 5/5 everything i never imagined, definitely a favorite.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The food is good, the service is spotty. The bakery is wonderful but they sometimes run out of some bakery items by noon. My favorite menu item of beef bourguignon has been removed from the menu. It was delicious, and I do not go to Praline as often since they stopped having it.

10/10 recommend. The cookies here were amazing. They nailed the texture and made them all flavorful without being overtly sweet. Will definitely be coming back!

The service is friendly. The coffee is ok. Selection of pastries, cookies, and cakes, including gluten free and dairy free macarons. There are not many tables, which is odd considering how large the space is, and that impacts the overall ambience. Also a bit cold - we kept our coats on!
