| Can you recommend a good quality bakery near the Vienna/Tyson's Corner/McLean area for cakes, macaroons, etc.? Something equivalent to Praline and Tout de Sweet in Bethesda or Stella's in Rockville. Thanks! |
| Is te Amphora still out there? Used to be pretty good for cakes... |
| Pie Gourmet (they sell other stuff besides pie, too) |

I love Pie Gourmet, but I've been disappointed with Amphora bakery in recent years. Not as good as they were in my youth.
I also recommend Sweet City Desserts, between 123 and Church Street. I bought some treats there and took them into the office, and they were a big hit. |
| ^^ I do recall Sweet City being pricier than Pie Gourmet, though (I had a groupon or living social or some other coupon when I went there). |
|
I don't care for Amphora and I'm not impressed with Pie Gourmet pies (dessert or savory).
I'd try Sweet City and Silva's. |
| Silvia's Patisserie! My company uses them for very fancy desserts for all of our client appreciation parties. |
| Cenan's Bakery near Giant. |
| pie gourment is very good but expensive , they know they are the best and it will cost you. |
| Pastry XPO if you're willing to go to Merrifield. Very yummy cakes. |
| Paul. It's at tysons galleria. |
| I like Silva's - its near the Michael's. They have maccarons, cakes, creme brulee, etc. and marked gluten free desserts. I wasn't that impressed with Sweet City. Amphora has pretty good cakes, but I like Cupcakes! at Nutley Street or Fluffy Thoughts in McLean better. |
| Too bad about Amphora... |
I love the fact that the exclamation point is in their name. Every time my kids and I drive past there (which is often), we all yell, "Cupcakes!" They do make good cupcake, though (we went there one time). |
