Dash To This Top Bakery In VA, New Survey Says

ARLINGTON, VA —A bakery in Virginia has been recognized for its sweet holiday treats, according to a new DoorDash ranking.

The food-delivery service, on Dec. 11, named the top 50 bakeries for holiday indulgence across the U.S. At these shops, customers can partake in seasonal pies, various cupcakes and the not-so-favorable fruitcake.

“The holidays call for simple joys – and that includes dessert,” Ruth Isenstadt, head of U.S. restaurants at DoorDash, said in the report. “The Holiday Dessert 50 celebrates the neighborhood spots that anchor their communities with sweetness and creativity. This season, convenience is a gift in itself, and we’re proud to help people enjoy their favorite sweets on-demand while also supporting local small businesses.”

According to DoorDash, the honorees secured the highest average customer ratings, had less than 10 locations and boasted more than 500 customer reviews.
