Excellent bread and delicious sandwiches. If you like your bread crusty on the outside and delicious and perfect on the inside, you'll like Bread Furst. Their Italian vegetable sandwich is perfect. Roasted eggplant and red pepper. Broccoli rabe. Sharp provolone and balsamic. Just awesome.

They sold me burnt bread. It tasted nasty and was super hard. Waste of money and not worth the hype.

A small and cramped coffee shop on the outskirts of Washington D.C.I ordered a "scone", a chocolate croissant and a hibiscus tea on ice.Everything was very tasty and real, very German-looking bread + bagels would have been available.Unfortunately it was too narrow and uncomfortable to sit inside, but the terrace looked very inviting on a sunny day.The service charge is an outrage and an indictment of the tipping culture in the USA. Simply being asked for a tip at the checkout using a card terminal is not possible. The employee's salary is not the customer's responsibility.

Breakfast options were plentiful and yummy. Coffee is good and they are pretty fast. Market items had a huge variety and many local options. Staff was always pleasant. Outside seating was

Bacon egg and cheese sandwich? The bacon tasted like firewood, and not in the good sense, and the eggs were scrambled yet somehow runny and raw tasting.Also, pre-packaged salad expired almost 30 DAYS ago.

I ordered delivery and they sent a salad that looks really old. The lettuce is wilted and pink and there’s a date on the bottom of the package that says 03/02. Makes me concerned for their food safety rules in the fridges. Everything else in our order looked good, but I’m too grossed out to order from here again.

Charging a service fee to simply ring up your order ought to be illegal. Screw these guys, spend your money elsewhere.
Went to Bread Furst on a Sunday morning to grab their Canelés, it was suuuper busy so you need to come early before they run out of things! The place smells great and has a lot of delicious baked goods, and perishable goods. For pastries, we got the Canelés, Coconut Custard Pie, and a Croissant, and for sandwiches we got the Jambon Beurre Ham Sandwich. We got the last two Canelés they had out for the morning, they had a crispy exterior with a deliciously soft and sweet interior, definitely one of our favorites! The Coconut Custard had a nice flakey crust, with a tasty coconut custard on the inside. The Croissant was so flakey, so buttery, super delicious! My favorite was the savory Jambon Beurre though, the Parisian baguette had a nice crunch and bite to it, and the salty savory ham in the sandwich made it a fantastic combination. Location is great, not super far from the Van Ness Metro station. The service was good for how busy the place was that morning, they were accommodating to any questions we had! Definitely will be back when I'm in the area for breakfast.

Amazing spot to get your carb fill. If you are from out of town, parking is at the back. Pricey but food is delicious. Salmon could be fresher.

This store is like a Christmas store!! You go crazy, just seeing all the different varieties of breads, coffee, bake goods, pies, etc. If you're on a diet, this is not your store. I love it!!!

This used to be one of my favorite bakeries in DC, but I was disappointed with everything I ordered today. The coconut pie tastes like straight up scrambled eggs and is inedible. The chocolate chip cookie did not taste fresh or good. The canale, which used to be my fave here, was way too sweet. The banana pudding wasn’t nearly sweet enough. I spent quite a lot of money with the 9.5% service fee added and can’t eat any of it. Sadly, this will be my last time going here. I hope they get back on track. Also notice that neither the owner nor management has responded to any of the reviews, making me think they’re leaning on their recent Netflix exposure and are no longer prioritizing quality. Want great quality pastries in DC? Try Nino’s on L St. Consistently awesome.
