Spring Mill Bread

Wonderful! What a treat.
I don’t know how we missed this place, we’ve lived in the area now nearly two years. But there we were, last Sunday: hot, hungry, thirsty from tending our new garden. We were greeted by a clean, beautiful, cool, atmosphere and friendly service.
We began at the pastry counter. Quiches, turnovers (both sweet and savory), scones, pound cakes, cookies… we were drooling! So we started our order. But then I saw they had sandwiches, so we had to get two. Both the man and I tried the pesto, mozzarella, tomato with pesto sandy and it was so good! The bread was whole wheat, really chewy and moist – tasted just like homemade. The pesto was delicious as were the tomatoes, I’ll bet they were found at the nearby farmers’ market or TPSS. Mozzarella was squeaky fresh. They even agreed to add some pickles on the side.
We had to order once again as I spied Wheat Montana hot cereal packaged for sale. If you haven’t had this it’s so delicious! Turns out most all the wheat used in this facility is from Wheat Montana in Three Forks!
After that discovery, I became a forever fan of Spring Mill. I used to live in Montana and know how special those grains are. These folks must be serous about bread if they’re bringing that quality to the community each day.
My final purchase was a second Boylan lemon seltzer. Just another little treasure waiting for you at Spring Mill Bread. We’ll be back next Sunday!

The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and I tried a pesto/​asiago bread yesterday that was to die for. Their pop tarts are my favorite though :) Keep up the great work!

I want to love this local bakery. They certainly have made a comfy place to gather for coffee or lunch, but I keep getting disappointed. The pastries are consistently dry and not particularly flavorful. For example, my kids both tried the Rocky Road Brownies and didn’t like them. I thought it was maybe a bad batch, but the next time, we all agreed they were terrible. We are all big chocolate fans, so there’s really something wrong with them. The crumble cakes are also dry and miserly with the berries. On the plus side, the soups, breads, and sandwiches are good, so this is probably better for lunch than breakfast or a treat for the kids. I sincerely hope that the bakery reformulates their pastries.

This place is fantastic!!! Awesome customer service! The food is simple and delicious! Try their homemade pop tarts! We will return!!! Highly recommend!

Very «healthy» bread and better baked goodies. I also tried the pea soup and wouldn’t recommend it. Most bakeries overdo the sugar but here, it’s used with restraint. And you can tell the ingredients are top quality. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookie is delicious. In the breads, I tried a white, cinnamon swirl, cinnamon raisin, whole grain cinnamon raisin and a three-​grain — all with a very firm texture due to their healthy-​bread ingredients and much too light on the raisins. This bread is not your classic bread and I find I just don’t enjoy it the way I do the more traditional bread at, say, Panera. Nothing has a crusty-​crust but it does make great toast. This is expensive bread ($ 6 approx for a modest sized loaf) without additives or preservatives. I love a crusty bread but only the baguette somewhat fits that description although it’s not a classic French baguette– the result of healthier ingredients I suspect!

Welp, I’ve been here a buncha times now. And I’m sad to report that there is only one type of bread with a nice crust on it at Spring Mill: the baguettes. They sell out pretty fast. Most of what they make are loaves of bread (sandwich style) that are soft.
I wish, wish, wish there were other breads available that were crusty on the outside. Please Spring Mill, hear my prayers!

There brand new so they’re still a small shop. I ordered about $ 20 worth of breads which ended up being a great deal. I was hoping for some bagels but they didn’t carry any. Maybe they’ll add it to increase their breakfast crowd.

Looked very cute and after a walk in to Takoma Park on a Sunday, I stopped in for a snack. Didn’t care to have any of the array of sandwiches they offered but completely enjoyed a cherry turnover — divine!!! Will definitely visit again!

Ive been to the Spring Mill located in Bethesda many many times, so when looking for a bite to eat near Washington Adventist, we decided to try this new location. Its great to see the same quality of food at this location as well, and the same earthy and homey décor inside. Besides the great bread, the sandwiches were well made and very fresh. One complaint though– its not very organized for ordering. It would be great if they could clearly set up some kind of line– no one knew where to stand or who had ordered yet. A good lunch spot though!

Friendly service, great sandwiches, good prices. A totally welcome addition to the neighborhood. Try the colossal club if you want an experience. Buy a home made pop tart if they are available.

More than solid addition to the neighborhood. Welcoming space and superb baked goods.

Every item I’ve had here is delicious. The thing that’s holding me back from giving a higher rating is that this restaurant has some sanitation issues, as evidenced by the large number of fruit flies and other, bigger flies that were everywhere and landing on the uncovered cakes on display. I wouldn’t be bothered if it were just a couple, but in recent visits I’ve noticed a LOT. I hope that they remedy the situation. In the meantime, I wish they’d cover the cakes.

Absolutely no room for bad press here. First the place is cute and welcoming, like even if you planned to order to-​go you’ll ending up sitting for a few minutes.
Second, I needed lunch at 4pm on a Friday and the lovely lady at the counter was very helpful and suggested the chicken salad. Got it toasted with lettuce and tomato and with the first bite I was a satisfied customer. The chicken salad was fresh, clearly made that day and f-​l-​a-​v-​o-​r-​f-​u-​l! It was so good I nearly inhaled it.
I know the place was good because I found myself walking back down the street 15 minutes later for dessert. Of course, I was staring at all the baked goodness while waiting for the sandwich. Ended up with the carrot cake and as soon as I started eating it I had a feeling of de ja vu. I suddenly could care less what was going on around me and totally focused on how rich this gluten free cake was, how the nuts added a perfect hint of crunch, how the cream cheese was light and whipped well. It was the same feeling I had when I started eating the chicken salad sandwich.
Now that’s what I call good food, the kind that makes you stop in your tracks to savor and really enjoy what you’re eating. Great addition to TP!

The bread is good! But where’s the vegan stuff? In Takoma Park (if nowhere else), I expect there to be at least one pastry or cookie or whatever for the vegan TKPK crowd. Spring Mill, please consider!
It is tough to access the store/​parking for the store, depending on what road and which direction you are coming from. Nothing to be done about that, but it definitely informs whether I stop by or not.

Breads and sandwiches baked using their own flour, sweet baked items and snacks. So far so good!
Hours Monday through Friday 7 to 8, Saturday 8 to 7 and Sunday 10 to 6.
Looking forward to watching them grow.

The other day the man in front of me in line had some issues with the magnetic strip on his credit card. The owner told him: «that’s okay, you’ll pay next time.» I love great community trustworthy stores! OH, and the sticky bun was great!

I grew up with homemade whole wheat bread and cinnamon rolls, so I had pretty high expectations for these items. I was not disappointed. The bread is fresh, flavorful and the perfect texture. So far, I’ve tried the whole wheat honey and whole wheat challah, and both were outstanding. The croissants are also excellent – not the super flaky style, but melt in your mouth and very light. The homemade poptart was good, as was the cherry tart. The key lime pie and cinnamon rolls were a bit sweet for my taste, but still very good. The staff were very friendly and warm. And the whole place smells wonderful and is full of natural light. Super excited to have this spot nearby, and I will be back very often!

Have been waiting for so long to have a Spring Mill in Takoma. I usually go to Bethesda to get there amazing bread! I ate there twice this weekend .OMG the sandwiches are amazing! Pesto Mozzarella heated on seven grain bread to die for. The lemon squares are my daughters most favorite. The place looks wonderful and the food and service great! Will be there every week for sure !

This might be dangerous. A Spring Mill on my daily commute route. I have been watching the construction of this place for months now. It seemed to take forever, but that day came yesterday.
I had to make a pit stop here. It is on the right side of the road on my journey home from work. They use to sell their bread in the Co-​op across the street, but they wanted to expand and sell sandwiches to the lunch time crowd. I plan to try the melted mozzarella & pesto. The location is good. There are four meters on Grant Ave right next to the bakery that take a minimum of $ 0.25 for twenty minutes. After parking here I realized I could have just drove down half a block and parked for free. Oh, well.
Their breads are awesome! I will be back for a loaf next week. For now, I’ll settle for a chocolate chip cookie for now, and a scone for later. Both for just about $ 3.50. The breads aren’t so cheap, but they are so good, and fresh! They always use all natural ingredients and no preservatives. If you buy a loaf and can’t finish it within 3 – 4 days, freeze half. It is best when not refrigerated.
So many daily breads, and breads only offered on certain days (I love the Spinach Feta). This will be my carbilicious downfall.

Saw on the Main Street Takoma facebook page that Spring Mill Bread Co. finally soft launch opened today. We came over here to check out their store. Just bread and baked goods for now, but all looks delicious. Next weekend they’ll fully open with sandwiches as well. I’m looking forward to a new spot in Takoma to hang out at for some food and a spot to work a bit.
We bought a loaf of bread, but haven’t tried it yet. It’s sitting in my bag as I walk home. Will update once we try the bread. :)
Update: 7 grain crunch bread is excellent. Will be buying more bread from here.
