23 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Washington

“This is one of my favorite breakfast places in Washington DC. They only take cash and they don’t have ATM inside other than that. It’s been in business since 1963. The staff is great. The prices are reasonable and the food is wonderful.“

“This is a tidy little cafe with a nice selection of healthy eats. I had a falafel wrap with a side of spinach and potatoes and a green smoothie. They have a wide range of options, from their popular chicken shawarma wrap to chickpea or salmon salads, and fresh pressed juices. What stood out to me was the fantastic service. The owner made great suggestions based on my dietary restrictions. It’s a great place to unwind, and a welcome spot im the neighborhood.“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“We stop in because my daughter with special Down syndrome needed to use the bathroom really bad. Even though there was a no public bathroom policy, the young lady althat greeted us was very gracious and allowed her to use it. Unfortunately, I did not get her name. I decided to place an order
At this point Kia assisted me and she was very hospitable and welcoming. But what impressed me the most was the cleanliness of tje restaurant. I often get nervous allowed my daughter to use public restrooms, but this one was very clean and Kia stood at the door while I went in to assit my daughter to clean herself and get dress. A definite 10/10 experience. I'll be back!“

“Great staff - delicious breakfast!“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“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.“

“One of the best bagels I’ve ever had. Most definitely would reccomend. I had an everything bagel toasted and was only $2.75. There is also free water there and honey, etc. Nice atmosphere with a window to see the cats at the next door cat cafe. Prettt aesthetic seating location and many options that are very reasonably priced.“

“Blueberry is the most popular flavor at Mission Muffins, but don’t skip the chocolate, cinnamon, or apple muffins. There’s even a chocolate-chip muffin affectionately named “A Milk Chocolate Chip Off The
Old Block.” Add banana to the muffin mix, and Mission Muffins calls it “Bananas And Milk (Chocolate Chips, That Is).”

Mission Muffins bakes yummy treats, and they are also on a mission to help people in need. Located inside a small trailer, Mission Muffins is a job-training program for Central Union Mission, one of the city’s oldest non-profits helping people find homes, jobs, and clothes so they can be safe and happy. Because of the mission’s inspiring work, thousands of DC residents now have better lives and brighter futures.

Here’s how it works. Mission Muffins teaches people how to bake and sell muffins and interact with customers so that they can earn a stable income. These activities help them develop important skills in retail, customer service, and time management. Once the participants move on from Mission Muffins, they are ready to go out into the world as
good employees elsewhere. Mission Muffins offers them a pathway to income and security.

In addition to offering delicious muffins here, Mission Muffins serves “Mission Mud” coffee to adults, of course, from DC’s oldest roastery. They also sell breakfast burritos and sandwiches. The breakfast sandwich here isn’t what you’d expect – it comes with an egg and meat patty inside a jalapeno and corn muffin. It’s one of the top sellers.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was fresh and fast. Ordered cheddar cheese eggs and bacon with toast and made a sandwich
Damn good. My buddy had the avocado wrap and loved it, I recommend giving them a shot. Sorry i didn’t take photos but will next time and update,“

“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.“

“For $25 at lunch, honestly, it was a great value! They had a made to order pasta bar, wine and beer, sandwiches, salad bar, soup, hot entree, and dessert bar. Yes, the options were limited but overall everything was good. The place was pretty empty, and there was no one at the front desk so we had to walk in and find someone to seat us. Also, the sign says 18% auto gratuity added for parties of 6 or more, but we were a party of 2 and they added it anyway. Overall, for the price, it was worth it.“

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

“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.“

“Brown Bag Catering has a user-friendly ordering portal that makes it easy to place orders without slowing down your day. Delivery was timely and everything arrived fresh. Pricing is reasonable for DC, and the menu options—like the ability to add a dessert tray and two bowls of salad to a sandwich platter—are a nice touch. Highly recommended.“

“First Trip: Tried the Beef Stew /w Collard Greens and Cabbage. The Beef stew was very well seasoned, no salt or pepper needed!!!! Greens and Cabbage on point! (Soul Food). I thought D.C. was lost when Soul Kitchen closed down during the Covid, we're back now!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Visiting DC with my son and staying right next door at the Hamilton Hotel. We came for lunch yesterday and the food was so delicious—and the veggies super fresh—that we had to come back for breakfast today :). The space is clean and comfortable. They also have convenient grab-and-go options, which are perfect to pick up for a lunch break at the Smithsonian. Loved the free lemon water, too—a huge plus if you don't usually order drinks like me!“

“It's one of the few places that you can still buy a turkey burger and the home fries are pretty good when you order breakfast. The only problem in the area is the expansion of bike Lanes which has depleted parking that has been available for years. And it's standing room only no seating but they serve you pretty fast considering how busy they are.“
