Seriously some of the best bread I’ve had! Definitely one of the best bakeries in DC. Not sure if they make them anymore but if you ever have a chance to try their almond croissants, you will not regret it.

The harissa sourdough with black sesame crust was one of the best sourdoughs I’ve had in the US. Same for the almond croissant - insanely crunchy, buttery, not too sweet, with an almost custard like almond paste (devoured before we took a photo).
