Friendly environment, welcoming and easy to locate items available for purchase. I ordered the baguette sandwich with brie and turkey and pistachio chocolate croissant. Everything was fresh and appealing!

I really love this neighborhood gem. Pretty much everything they bake is delicious. My kids adore the brownies. The service is friendly and fast. Highly recommend this spot.
The culmination of years of partnership and planning by co-owners and former White House pastry chefs, Patrick Musel and Susan Limb, whose love and talent for creating delectable pastries, led them to open the D.C. area's most authentic from scratch French bakery in Bethesda, Maryland in April 2006. Praline is named after the French-styled pralines, which are red sugar coated almonds.
Praline Bakery sells breakfast pastries, cookies, macarons, cakes, tarts, pound cakes, celebration cakes, and sandwiches, quiche, salads and breads. Everything is made fresh daily using the finest ingredients available and time-honored techniques by hand.
