We went there before 10am and it was packed with people (probably also have something to do with small space) I got the last pistachio croissant so pastries are selling fast. Overall the croissant is a bit oily for my taste but I highly recommend their black sesame croissant. Do not get their matcha very low quality and quantity matcha was used.

During my visit to DC I wanted to stop by Nino’s after reading the positive reviews. Nino’s does not disappoint! You know it’s good when there is a line before they open. Their croissants are soft and flaky, and comparable to the ones in Paris. The gruyere was my favorite! Highly recommend checking them out.

They offer a unique blend of pastries that are quite unique and serve La Colombe coffee. They don't have much indoor dining space but they do have a few tables outside. I appreciate that it's named after the owner's dog and they have dog treats as well.

The amazing reviews of Nino's Bakery are spot-on! We went based on the google reviews, and I'm so glad we did. My husband and I both said that the only better croissants we've ever had were in Paris itself. We ordered two almond croissants, a pistachio croissant and a chocolate croissant, I seriously don't think I could pick one as my favorite - each one was out of this world. Light, flaky, buttery but not greasy, just sweet enough - really spectacular. We got there on a Saturday morning around 8:50am (they open at 9am) and there was already a line which I now realize is totally justified. The actual store is tiny inside, there's really no where to sit and eat, so I would consider this a to-go place. They do have a couple of tables outside, but it gets a bit awkward to sit and eat at one when there's a line of people waiting to get inside. All in all, if you're considering a visit to Nino's, I would say RUN don't walk!

I’ve been searching for good bakeries in DC ever since I moved from Korea, and I finally found one. The croissants here are so soft and not overly sweet! it’s the first time I’ve had this kind of flavor in DC. I went twice just last week, and I really hope this place stays around for a long time.
