It’s worth the transfer from the Yellow to the Red line to get here from Alexandria. The bread is that good! It’s tiny inside, so the line usually forms in the alley outside.

Really good bread and butter. Bread had a crunchy thin crust, soft pillowy insides. And cute location. I would definitely go out of my way from baltimore just to come back here again. Also very decent priced bread.

The selection is limited, but their breads are incredible. The cranberry walnut bread is the same bread found at le diplomate. My favorite bread is the black sesame harissa. Expect to wait in line. Only about three people fit in the store at a time, but it’s worth it.

The best ham and cheese croissant in DC. Crispy, not oily, and crisped cheese hanging out. Quality ham too.The loaves are very crusty but the inside of the bread is perfectly moist and soft. Really quality bread. We take a loaf to every brunch event we attend and all the flavors are a hit.It’s in an alley.

This can be hard to find. If you’re looking for it, it’s down the alley the right of Palette 22, there is a sign that says Bread Alley on the wall. The door to the bakery is light brown wood.The bread here is outstanding. I first had it at Le Diplomate. Picked up 2 sour dough and 1 focaccia. The bread is so good. We made bruschetta at home and this bread held up to it nicely.The staff were nice, too.

Best bread in DC. Enough said.

Challah bread on Fridays is amazing and reasonably priced! There is never any remaining towards the last open business hours, just an indication of taste. The walnut cranberry is a constant staple. Good luck finding the place, worth the wander.

I can’t bring myself to buy a baguette anywhere else.

Although I never paid that much money for a baguette in my country of origin (France) I finally found a baguette that makes me feel at home. I just moved to the neighborhood and it took me a while to find the place but it was so worth it. The baguette is so good!
