Patisserie Manuel - Silver Spring

I give them 4 stars only to be more realistic with my rating. I am happy with the custom cake that they made such a short announcement and I praise them for it, but the quality of the cake itself was not good. It was not fresh on the inside and the majority of people at my place liked it either definitely looked good on the outside. Disclaimer: The two fast decorations were not made by them.

Probably the best pastries in the DMV, at least the best almond croissants! We have tried numerous patisseries, bakeries, restaurants and dessert shops from DMV to Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Paris... and none of them can even come close to compare with the Mandel Croissants in Patisserie Manuel. Please stop the big job and hopefully eventually you will also make kouign-amanns ; Previous review: The best almond croissants in the DMV. So many soft chewing layers full of buttery goodness. Cripples on the outside and very tight on the inside. Skip the Empenadas, too much bread, but the filling has Rosin! Macaroons taste similar to other Macaroons.

Great find! I stopped at the shopping center and wasn’t expecting a French Bakery. Beautiful case full of pastries and a selection of cook to order brunch items and coffee. I just had the peach danish and it was tasty, not too sweet. I will definitely go back and try more of their pastries. Great outdoor patio, too.

Spied this bakery driving and so glad I stopped in. Staff very friendly and helpful, plus display cases full of pastries. Got the chocolate croissant and ham and cheese and bot were top notch. Would go again to eat my weight

For Christmas I ordered the Four Leches cake! Let me tell you… it was amazing. The flavors so perfectly balanced. It was unlIke any Tres Leches cake I’ve had but it was also better than any other! Can’t wait for another occasion so I can get it again!
