About Firehook Bakery

Firehook Bakery is a beloved spot in Dupont Circle, offering a wide selection of delicious treats. Their cinnamon rolls, spinach and feta croissants, and chocolate espresso cookies are all highly praised. The bakery also serves great coffee, including a $1.95 drip coffee with a strong roast. Customers can enjoy a variety of pastries, including seasonal options like challah bread and apple pies, as well as sweet treats like $1 sugar cookies and chocolate mousse. Firehook has been around for a long time, since 1992 in Alexandria, but it was recently acquired by a private equity firm based in Connecticut. Despite the change in ownership, the bakery has maintained its homey atmosphere and quality baked goods. Customers particularly enjoy the breads and crackers, which are made with organic ingredients and are competitively priced compared to other bakeries in the area. While the freshness of some non-bread items may suffer due to the centralized production, the bakery's friendly staff, fast service, and great prices make it a must-visit for anyone in the Dupont neighborhood.
