Nino's Bakery
1310 L St NW #100, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood bakery serves genuinely exceptional croissants—so sought-after that customers line up before opening and the pastry case empties quickly—alongside quality La Colombe coffee in a cozy, if snug, space perfect for a quick morning stop or casual meeting. The croissants here have earned serious praise from regulars and visitors alike, with fans comparing them favorably to Parisian bakeries, striking that elusive balance of buttery softness without cloying sweetness. It's the kind of place where you'll rub shoulders with the local community over warm pastries and honest coffee, making it an essential DC breakfast destination.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

The amazing reviews of Nino's Bakery are spot-on! We went based on the google reviews, and I'm so glad we did. My husband and I both said that the only better croissants we've ever had were in Paris itself. We ordered two almond croissants, a pistachio croissant and a chocolate…
I’ve been searching for good bakeries in DC ever since I moved from Korea, and I finally found one. The croissants here are so soft and not overly sweet! it’s the first time I’ve had this kind of flavor in DC. I went twice just last week, and I really hope this place stays…
