Mah-ze-dahr - Washington DC

The food was good. I was dining next door at The Gatsby and wanted a dessert, but didn't like the options they offered. This bakery is connected via the vestibule. It's a quaint, cute space that doesn't provide any indoor seating; more grab and go. I had the Crumble Apple Pie and it was heavenly; everything you'd want and more! They had other treats but I saw and went for my go to. Reasonably priced, although I am curious about the cost for a whole pie. Definitely recommend if you're in the area of Nat Park.

Calorie refund please…The staff were excellent, very friendly and kind!The food unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. We went based on a high review, and it was fine-ish, and the portions were decent, but it all tasted like airport baked goods. The pain au chocolate was quite tough and chewy, without the chocolate well baked into it. The cheddar and chive scone was not flavorful or dense. It tasted bitter if anything. And the gluten free chocolate cake’s texture was off, and the flavor lacked richness. (And they had run out of most of the standard baked goods by the time we went at 11:30am.

I tried the drip coffee, and it was good. The girl who works there is very nice. I ordered 2 minutes before closing, and she got my order with a smile. I really appreciate that.

Stopped by to try their collab danish with Oishi strawberries. The strawberry danish was so pretty. The strawberries were so sweet and juicy and the danish was golden brown and chewy. The worker was friendly and quick. I went late morning on a weekday and it was not busy. The pastries here are a little pricey, which is why I probably wouldn't stop by everyday.

Great place for croissants and cinnamon rolls! Get there on the earlier side because some of the popular items sell out quickly.
