Manifest Bread

Manifest Bread is a bakery and restaurant at 6208 Rhode Island Ave in Riverdale Park, Maryland, just south of College Park. It has a 4.8-star Google rating across 358 reviews.

Reviewers rave about the bread, especially sourdough-based loaves with a strong crust, and one notes that the bakery mills its own flour from locally grown grain. The pastry case gets frequent praise, with cardamom buns, oatmeal date cookies, financiers and croissants all mentioned, as do sandwiches on baguette and chicken sliders. Several reviewers point out that it also runs a dinner service with beer, wine and cocktails, and that pizza is served on certain days. The tradeoff of its popularity: reviewers mention weekend lines and a loud room at peak times, and one found a seasonal drink too sweet.

Manifest Bread is closed Monday, open 8 AM–3 PM on Tuesday and Sunday, and open until 9 PM Wednesday through Saturday. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating.
