Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. Refreshed every three months.
Alexandria’s bakeries cluster on Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray and Arlandria, where five of the places below are. Old Town and Old Town North have a bakeshop on Slaters Lane, and a French bakery-cafe and a bakery-cafe on King Street, and the rest are spread along Duke Street and the city’s west side.
How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Alexandria’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, and from the Virginia Department of Health’s food inspection records, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 19, 2026. Places with no website we could find, and chain stores whose pages would not load for us, are listed from those records with their 2026 inspection date. Caterers are left out. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
