25 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Washington

“Great staff - delicious breakfast!“

“What a neighborhood gem! For a quick bite with an excellent 1970s diner vibe, come here! Do not expect fancy. But do expect authentic classic breakfast with fast service and lots of locals. Cash only, but very affordable especially for DC. The pancakes are delicious and huge! Tip well they deserve it!“

“This place reminds me of Pura Vida Miami. The customer service here is great, really nice staff and ambiance! Just know it can take time to get your order. There’s a good amount of seating too if you wanted to bring your laptop. I’d suggest passing on the matcha, it was a hard sip, next time I’d order food/smoothies- which is what they’re known for.“

“Crazy busy, old fashioned breakfast experience. Worth it for the food and fun atmosphere!“

“I tried something new from their summer menu and it was so good! Strawberry French toast really hit the spot for me on this gloomy day. Great atmosphere and place to work in AdMo, I’d highly recommend stopping by!“

“Dropped by for dinner, and it was just a short walk from the Ritz. The food was ok, and the service was spotty. The place was pretty busy with hotel guests. The decor was nice and the lounge was posh. Good to see people out enjoying themselves.“

“I wish this was my neighborhood coffee. The staff are so lovely. One refilled my personal water bottle for me.

Also the food is delicious, there’s good variety and the seating is comfy. My only complaint is the water faucets were really hot last time I visited but maybe that was a fluke.

Ugh, I may need to move to Columbia Heights so I can visit more often.“

“With new ownership in place, I did not know what to expect. For a ward 8 resident and DC native, we take Sunday morning breakfast serious, and nobody wants to travel to PG, VA or cross the bridge for family breakfast. I have been to that IHOP at least 100 times, so I have seen the good and the bad times. I will say this, there is a noticeable difference in the customer care experience. From the attention to detail of the employees, the cleanliness of the restaurant (especially the bathroom), and the friendly staff, I was wholly impressed. I felt safe and ready to spend my hard earned money. I even tipped the waitress 50% because she deserved it. Hopefully the word gets out that it is a good thing to go to the Alabama Ave IHOP and the new owners keep this level of care for us the customers.“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“With a window into meow maison and seating outside, downstairs, and a small bar upstairs you should bring a friend to try out Cafe con Bagel. I got the Veggie summer sandwich and the cream-cheese veggie combo was peak. I went outside to watch some kitties sleep and sip my dirty chai and bagel.“

“The Chai is my latest obsession! Stopped in while visiting the White House and was blown away. The food was freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely frequent this eatery if I lived locally. For now, I am ordering their Chai online.“

“I love this place so much! It’s a korean couple running the whole place and you cannot get food this cheap and good anywhere else.

The sausages and eggs in the breakfast platter were delicious. Seafood box had such a big portion for the price and the scallops imitation crab and butterfly shrimp were yummy! The scallops in the seafood box were especially meaty and fleshy.

The food was also not overly greasy at all and you can see that most things are cooked fresh and on the spot. The door has bars so it looks like they are closed but they arent. Cash only!!“

“Most wonderful people. Great food. Bought one of every on the menu and it was only $27! I love that I am supporting a great cause and also eating hot breakfast and cute scones and muffins with hilarious names like "singin' the bluesberry"“

“My experience with Alexander Dou has been enlightening. His strategies focus on careful analysis rather than rushing into trades. I appreciate the support and guidance he's provided, if you're interested in learning more, consider contacting him on Telegrm at Alexanderdou.“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“Love the friendly residents and staff. Just started living here and it already feels like home. The location is unbeatable (Whole Foods, dog park, Canal Park, Orange Theory, CVS...all within one block) and the cleanliness of the building is so nice. The 909 team is quick, responsive, professional, and friendly.“

“I had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a half smoke with cheese. The half smoke was ok but far from the best. I probably wouldn’t buy it again. The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was good. Plenty of bacon. Parking isn’t the best but it’s manageable. You’ll find a spot in the street somewhere. They’re not wheelchair accessible.“

“This place is a local staple for many city workers as it is in close proximity to large government facilities. They do have limited hours so plan to visit early. The food is pretty decent and prices are very fair. The owners are quite hospitable and provide an overall great experience.“

“The household management method is reasonable. A variety of meal menus are available and the meals are delicious. The price is reasonable. It's really nice because you can decide what menu you want and how much you want to eat. The restaurant owner is also very friendly. The next time I visit Washington, I definitely want to come.“

“We had a delightful breakfast at the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel! I especially loved the way they prepared the bacon and eggs. Opted for the buffet and sampled a bit of everything – all the dishes were hot and perfectly cooked without drying out. The seating was really comfortable too. A wonderful start to the day!“

“stopped in while on vacation food was great nice friendly staff reasonable prices“

“I did door dash! The Big Breakfast Platter was good! The potatoes could have been fried a little hard along with the onions but was still good .The Fish Breakfast was chef kisses, who seasoned the fish!!?? Keep doing what you're doing!! I have no complaints! Hot coffee was delicious and still hot. And also the Small Oatmeal 8 Oz was tasty! Will definitely order again from here!“

“love it there. So much to do and eat. Palette22 drew me there, and I found a great entertainment distinct full of fun times. I plein air painted Morse Alley. Cool spot.“

“I saw you guys to Instagram someone I have on that I follow and wow he was talking about your food. I think I’m gonna have an excuse to go to your town. I live in Miami Florida. Your breakfast looks amazing. I didn’t put any food service or anything because I had never been there but definitely I should give you guys five star for everything because from the photos I’m looking at. Wow I could see thank you. I’m gonna find a way to go there.“

“Got the Cali Club and a chocolate chip cookie for a quick lunch today. The sandwich was made perfectly fresh and was DELICIOUS! The cookie was moist and chewy- yum! It was rather confusing trying to figure out where you turn in your slips and pay because there are no signs. Definitely will be back and hopefully they make the process a bit easier.“
