Quebrada Baking Co

Just enjoyed a ham and cheese and spinach croissants on the snowy Sunday morning. Both were delicious.

My partner and I have been expanding our coffee-​shop reach beyond the borders of Camberville, and it’s a good thing, too — Quebrada’s a great find.
We both had lattes, both competently made. Their coffee is roasted well (not burnt like a few other coffee shops that will remain unnamed). The coffee isn’t the strong point, though — apologies for burying the lede, but I like to save the best for last: holy cats, those croissants. I had a mini almond croissant and nearly cried. The pecan roll was also a pretty fierce contender, and my partner spoke pretty highly of his regular croissant and cinnamon bun.
I saw a loaf of soda bread on the way out and intend to go back and try it. I grew up with it, and if it’s made as well as the croissants are, I might have to ration myself.

Great place to get a pastry and a coffee in east Arlington.

The. best.
— The chocolate croissants are honesty the best I’ve had in my 26 years of being a chocolate fanatic.
— Honourable second place goes to Cinnamon almond croissants (it has the perfect amount of sweet and crunch)
— It took me a few months to realize that they also had a spinach and cheese croissant that is super tasty.
— I don’t drink coffee but I’ve heard (from friends and family) that the dancing goats blend is unmatched
…Quebrada is my local bakery and I’m so so so happy about it!

WOW, a bakery that knows the difference between butter cream and whipped cream frosting! This bakery has a diverse offering of excellent confestions, many of which are not overwelmed with sugar.
Reading the reviews, raises the concern that I have but one stomach with which to sample the fare at Quebrada and it would take a very long time to make it though all the offereings.
They are a little too sweet for my tooth… and I’d give 4 stars, but the other reviews that mindlessly bash them needs a little solidarity.
Great place for a tasty treat or fancy cake.

Amazing coffee and croissants. My weekend isn’t complete without a trip to Quebrada…

I live right above these guys and roughly ¼th of my income have gone to this coffee shop over the past year which probably has contributed to my 30 lbs weight gain in 2015. Crap.
The good:
Their coffee is superb. I order their iced mocha latte which I tots love. Their croissants are baked in house and are perf. Their staff seems To have quite a bit of turnover but I think I like all of them
Living above a coffee shop also has perks of my clothes always smelling like baked goods. Thank you
The not as good:
Having been their 300 times, I’d think I’d know the routine of where to order… where to pay. Mind bogglingly I don’t. It’s never clear where to stand to place your order or where or when to pay. They verbally pass orders to staff so I’m often asked and re-​asked my order a few times. There’s always confusion during their peak hours
If they wrote down orders on the cup… and had one cash register and or a sign with «order here» they would help themselves and improve the experience… or at least my experience…
Thanks for a year of great coffee. Hugs!!!

Love it here! Its very cozy inside and there are so many things to choose from. My favorite things here are the mini cheesecakes and the mini chocolate moose cups. The croissants are also very yummy. They also have a lot of different cupcakes too and many other things. The staff is very friendly. Will be back.

I go here roughly once a week, and it’s awesome, a local staple. People seem to expect to get everything from every business, but this is a bakeshop where you’re supposed to pick up something good and go, not linger at the counter for hours. The staff is very friendly and fast, their pastries are top-​notch, and their drip coffee is superb.

I tried this place with my girlfriend after a terrible experience up the street at Angelina’s (see my review on that Unilocal page) and we were both blown away at what a difference this place was.
I’ve been in search of the perfect chocolate chip cookie for ages, and I can honestly say I may have found it right here. Their cookies are served at the perfect temperature (slightly warmer than room temp), which is just enough to make the chocolate gooey and stretchy. They’re baked to a flawless golden brown, with slightly caramelized edges, a thin crust all over, and a soft, tender, almost creamy inside. Best off, this TASTES like a homemade chocolate chip cookie made from real ingredients — on first bite you can tell they use quality chocolate, fresh butter (and lots of it), pure brown sugar, and real vanilla. There are days I walk there just for the sole purpose of getting those cookies. Definitely recommend!

They make the best chocolate croissant on the planet. Amazing. Soul-​lifting.

The coffee cake was great. The mini (or was it micro) tarts looked great as well. Lots of options. Friendly staff.

A neat little bakery after yummy hotpot excursions a few doors down. We were craving cupcakes; or at least, I was. Headed in and saw some mini cupcakes 6/​$ 10. So we got 12 because yolo. After learning to count all over again, and of course some caffeine for the boy — we got to eat the cupcakes. My personal favorite was the shredded coconut. The buttercream was a bit thick and it felt like I was eating sweet butter, which was not so good. But overall, cute little bakery, friendly service. Will keep in mind if ever another cupcake crave (which will happen).

I’m hemming and hawing between 3 or 4 stars. This place is 3.5 I would say!
It has delicious cupcakes (nomnomnom) and decent pastries (some leave room to be desired).
My issue here is twofold:
1) No seating. At all. Which is kind of a bummer if you want someplace around the area to just sit for a moment.
2) Their coffee is mediocre. I’ve had iced and a latte but they are not a fancy coffee shop!
A decent place for a cup of Jo and a good cupcake if that’s what you want for the afternoon!

Seriously the best! The croissants are to die for. And the iced coffee is delicious!

This place has actual buttercream frosting; creamy and delicious buttery goodness.
The carrot cake and the cream cheese frosting are also delicious. Did I mention the frosting was so yummy?

Best baked goods in the area, from their scrumptious scones to the devilishly delectable frosted goodies. Their coffee is great too. Wish they had the space for real seating to I could hang out!

I love this place so much! I come here on my weekend mornings. The coffee is great and the pastries are amazing. I love how it’s always so packed with amazing people. I recommend this spot to anyone. I love the chocolate croissant with the french vanilla coffee. Morning delight.

This is a very cute local bakery with colorful monkey décor. For many of their pastries, they offer large and small versions which made things much easier for an indecisive person like me. Prices are very reasonable with most everything being under $ 5
I enjoyed their ham and cheese and broccoli and cheese croissants. They are verrrry buttery and on the soft side but that’s what made them yummy and different. I tried several other pastries and I particularly loved their pecan rolls which were just slightly sticky and not overly sweet.
Definitely a must try if you’re in the area!

Delicious cupcakes and the cakes are just as delicious.
You can order birthday cakes and it’ll be ready the next day. Never been disappointed.

Chocolate croissants– petite, just less than 2 $, regular, just over 3 $. Delicious

Please get your morning fix here and support a local business instead of Starbucks!
I drove by this place every day on my way to drop my dog off at daycare, but only stopped in after hearing Mindy Kaling mention it in her book. I’m so glad I did!
I got a dozen cupcakes for my dog’s daycare staff (they are lovely and deserve all the cupcakes for taking care of my high energy dog) and a few for myself and co-​workers. They were a big hit with everyone! Lots of variety, not oily, not dry, not to sweet. Just right!
Their coffee is pretty amazing as well.
Also, the décor reminds me of the patisserie from Chocolat. Very warm and cozy :)
The staff is nice and there’s almost always parking right out front.

I love love love this place! My husband and I live around the corner and we frequently go to this place for a variety of reasons:
Coffee: They have the BEST hot and iced coffee (Dancing Goats Blend is the best). I also love their lattes — and I buy their coffee beans by the pound (it is a bit expensive but so delicious it is worth the splurge).
Pastry: Their pastries are delicious and clearly made with high quality ingredients and are very fresh! I love the fact that they offer most items in a petite version as I am always trying to practice portion control. My favorite pastry they have is the petite raspberry croissant. I also love their blueberry scones, savory croissants, almond croissant and pumpkin muffins.
Orders to Go: This bakery has «Jo to Go» — basically a box of their coffee and will pack pastries to go. When I have an early morning meeting at work, I will call ahead and place my order and they have it waiting for me as I swing by on my way to work. Everyone in my office loves when I bring in their Dancing Goats coffee and pastries. My coworkers favorites include their blueberry scones, cinnamon buns and all flavors of croissants.
Special Occasions/​Cakes: I have gotten several different items for birthdays and special occasions and loved them all — Boston Cream Pie (excellent — one of the best I’ve had), Vanilla Birthday cake with raspberry filling and butter cream frosting (good — decorations were beautiful — fresh flowers and ribbons), and cupcakes — chocolate, vanilla and carrot cake — all amazing! I absolutely love their cupcakes! They also have a vegan chocolate cupcake that is delicious as well!
Parking is street parking only (Mass Ave) and can be a bit tricky during rush hour (on the way to work in the AM) but I have never had a problem. Prices are reasonable — typical coffee shop/​bakery prices, and well worth it as quality is higher than usual. They have some seating there but my husband and I always prefer to take things to go.
I cannot say enough good things about this bakery — I love it!

The most chocolate-​filled chocolate croissant I’ve ever encountered. This may dissuade some folks, who prefer an entire pillow of flaky, buttery and only a sneeze of that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff, but not this kid. I relished the copious amounts of cocoa. Cocoapious.
Equally as overloaded, the apricot croissant (not a varietal you see very often) is anything but cloying, with a smooth chunkiness of housemade (?) apricot preserves.
The one big strike is the iced chai latte — watery, unbalanced and if you get soy milk (75¢ surcharge), nobody knows how to pour it. Seriously. The entire staff came out to inspect KG’s rendition, saying «It doesn’t look right» and «It’s too full» and «Spiders!»
Ok, there were no spiders. That we could see. *cue theremin muzak*
If you’re not one for the sweets, don’t pass up the savory bin: a little toasty countertop unit with mushroom and cheese, ham and cheese, cheese and cheese, and other such croissants. Mmm… lightbulb warm…
No excuse not to swing by when scouring the Ahhhhlington side of Mass Ave. Feeling only half-​hungry? Need a pocket snack for the Capitol Theatre next door? Most pastries have a petite version for less than $ 2!

I’ve loved this place for years, and always stop in for a coffee and treat when I’m back on the east coast. It gives me kind of a warm feeling — since my mom and I would always go here before a movie at the Capitol. She’s still alive — we just don’t talk. But movies and food are can always be counted among happy times.
The coffee is lovely, and everything I’ve ever tried here is great. I often see what they are selling from the day before so I get what I get and I’m never disappointed.
Wait for me… I’ll see you in October!
