Delivered flour to your old bakery. Bulk tanker truck. When I thought the D.C. Police showed up at the end of the block for my protection I gradually learned it was for a traffic stop to keep a gov't prossession moving !! Then you built a state of the art new facility a few miles outside of the historic and crazy zone. Not only were the delivery drivers and your staff not messing around with 80 feet of hose connections; you laid a new concrete pad to make bulk deliveries easier within a few months !! If that wasn't enough to hit the all time list of things that don't

Super in love with Lyon Bakery! The brioche buns, the sourdough loaf, the burger buns are all exceptional. My biggest regret is getting 4 of the cheddar and jalapeno buns. OH. MY. GOSH. I should've gotten 20. They are so perfectly baked, with these cheese pockets and a nice gentle sprinkling of jalapeno through the buns. Plain, slightly warmed in the microwave and buttered, as my breakfast sandwich bun or, if you want your mind completely blown-- as a grilled cheese with tomato-- these things are one of the best bread products my mouth has been lucky enough to chew.

We have been here for 39 years and have longed for decent bread. Eureka!! We found it at Lyon Bakery. Well, actually, we found it at our local Mom's store. The rustic french loaf is to die for. We slice it ourselves as needed and the remarkable thing is that it easily lasts a week if kept in the pantry in the bag it comes in. Delicious. Thank you , Lyon Bakery!

Update: they heard their customers and did away with the $5 card minimum! When you're selling loaves for $4 and change it was so frustrating.
Previous review:
Decent bread, good selection.
Went in for a loaf of rosemary, while juggling an infant and other groceries. Guy rang me up and then wouldn't take my debit card. Tried to explain a number of combinations of things that would get me to their required minimum. At this point I just left. Way to do business

Disappointing. This morning I purchased a "baguette" at the Lyon counter and found it disappointing. It was not a true baguette having discovered hat the bread had whole wheat flour and other ingredients that do not belong in a baguette. A baguette should have water, salt flour (levain) and that is it. Why fool wth other ingredients? The crust is not crisp.....I will stick with Bread Furst's version.

Great bread and great prices! I've been buying their bread for years and have never been disappointed. I prefer to buy in Union Market because I believe it's fresher, but I have also purchased from Glen's Market in Shaw. Sometimes the selection is slim later in the day on weekends so get there early if you need something specific.

I am a huge fan of good bakery items, no paleo carb-haters allowed here. If you see a stand for this at your local Farmer's Market, grab it without hesitation; if you have never experienced a slice of high-gluten bread toasted with butter, it should be on your bucket list, as it is a piece of heaven. I get a loaf this bread each week in my From the Farmer produce delivery, in which unfortunately we don't get to pick what kind, but I've had the sesame semolina (perfection), marble rye (oy, so gut!), whole grain (with pepitas?!) I am not a fan of olives so I refused the olive loaf

Good value for their loaves. So far I've tried the whole wheat and rustic baguettes, as well as the raisin walnut bread. You need to eat them fast though, as they go stale quickly. It's hard to find good bakeries in DC so it's nice to have Lyon Bakery so close by at Union Market. Looking forward to trying other varieties such as their Challah and Olive bread.

This bakery in Union Market is not just in Union Market. If you have been to a local restaurant that serves fabulous sliced, hearth-baked bread, you have very likely consumed a produce from Lyon Bakery. I was delighted to know that they source to so many local restaurants, but more importantly, I am delighted that if I am at Union Market that I can get my own loaf in its entirety!
These loaves are fabulously baked artisan creations that look beautiful and taste wonderful. There are some classic choices here that showcase the talent of this boulangerie, like the sourdough, the baguette and the

I have to agree with the first reviewer (dagnabbit!) that this bread is GOOD. I picked up a bag of rolls (4 for $2!) and a whole wheat baguette ($3!) for a dinner party and was absolutely pleased!
What a great spot for a farmer's market and nice to feature a small local bakery. Do stop by and say hello to them!

Where I come from, there's literally a bakery on every corner. The SF Bay has many manifold iterations of alters to bread making, creating a culture of bread snobbery, or (more sympathetically) a deep and abiding love for leavening culture. From Acme to Semifreddie's to Grace to Vital Vittles (whom I drove a bread truck for in my youthful days), in Northern California we worship our yeast + flour based foods, with intense loyalties and attachments to match.
Washington DC's bread offerings have been quite meager in my one year here. There's Pain Quotidienne's decent
