Where can I find really good hamentachen ( local Jewish delis and Whole Foods taste like cardboard lumps) ? The only good ones I found were at Amernick's many years ago.

I just saw a sign for a new Grille restaurant to open near Terasol on Conn. & Fessenden. Does anyone know about it?

How about Acacia - Van Ness & Connecticut ? They have small plates as well dinner portions which cover all price points.

If close-in Bethesda isn't too far try Praline.

Welcome! Once you read here on a regular basis, you should be able to find better goodies. Some of my favorites include Patisserie Poupon Praline (there might be a dedicated topic on this place, but you'll also find recommendations for birthday cakes that mention it, too. porcupine's post below reminded me of the name I meant to cite). I also like certain "crunchy" breads sold by Atwater at a number of farmers markets in the area, and Ovens at Quail Creek (Penn Quarter market among others) for their Pugliese, Country Wheat & Rustic potato bread, especially. And if you do garden, tuna or salmon burgers, go to the Saturday market on U & 14th for fantastic olive-oil buns!

I'm a big fan of Praline and Atwater's but haven't tried Ovens ar Quail Creek or the Sat. market on U & 14th. thanks

Heller's Bakery in Mt Pleasant has great donuts.

Yes. In addition to the bakery, they sell them at Broadbranch Market and the cafe in Politics & Prose.

Hello,

I'm a pescaterian (eats seafood; no meat) who's always on the lookout for healthy, inspiring food. I have a weakness for baked goods but find it challenging in DC to find high quality bakeries - I keep searching.
