Potomac Sweets - Reservar una mesa

I love this bakery so much! They have an unbelievably huge variety of delicious pastries. While I was waiting in line once I counted, and from my count there were over two hundred different varieties of pastries, cookies, cakes, pies, tarts, breads, cupcakes, macaron, biscotti, nougat, etc! The pastries are very high quality French style patisserie, the filled croissants are some of the best I've had. They make extremely beautiful and surprisingly affordable cakes and tarts, including incredibly yummy looking holiday options you can order ahead. The most surprising thing to me is the price, most pastries are only $3.50, whereas a pastry of the same quality elsewhere in town is almost double that price. They have fast, friendly service.I've tried probably twenty pastries from here, and the two of particular note are the chocolate croissant and pistachio croissant, which is like an almond croissant with pistachio paste inside. The filling is very flavorful, the pastry *extremely* crunchy (I get it toasted), and the sweetness just right. Their chocolate croissant is also by far and away the best I've had anywhere in Rockville, and I've had one from over two dozen gourmet bakeries in the area.They do not offer coffee or espresso drinks, which would be a lovely addition, but they have very limited space, so it's probably not practical. I appreciate they don't serve coffee if they don't think they could serve good coffee. Maybe just a hot water tap with fancy tea bags would be nice though.Very limited parking and floorspace inside the shop, so I recommend going during a less busy time of day. Plenty of parking around the corner. No cafe seating area or restroom, but there's a bench or two out front where you can sit on a nice day. It's a pretty quiet and nice place to sit. I would love if they could put even one tiny table with two chairs out front, but the space is very limited, so it may not be allowed by code. If code allowed, it would actually be cool if they converted the 3-4 parking spots into an outdoor seating area with tables with umbrellas, and did away with the parking there all together. I personally would walk from around the corner, then sit at a table outdoors to enjoy my pastry while it's still hot from the toaster oven.

Ik heb de koekjes geproefd bij mijn mama, en ik ben verzot op het koekje moet de amandel noot erop, zo zacht en smeuïg aan de binnenkant en een beetje steviger langs buiten. Heerlijke pepernoten smaak. Heb de eigenaar niet in levende lijven ontmoet, maar mijn mama zei dat hij super lief en vriendelijk is. Wanneer komt er een winkel in België ? We want more ?

Bought a handful of pastries for $23.25. They were very stale. Didn't think much of it but was disappointed. Then got to the last pastry and had mold on it. Don't know how long they are leaving these pastries out, but it is concerning
