Open City at the National Cathedral is a charming cafe located right on the cathedral property, offering a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. This funky spot is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dessert, or coffee. The cafe serves a solid cup of coffee, especially praised for their oat milk cappuccino. The menu provides options to satisfy any diet, from small bites to full meals. While the sandwiches, such as the chicken salad croissants, are huge but can be hit or miss, the breakfast options and pastries remain highly recommended. The interior features plenty of natural light and wooden tables, and there is outdoor seating available in warmer weather. Customers can expect their food to be brought right to their table after ordering at the counter, although there have been some minor issues with order accuracy. The beautifully presented chai latte and toasted bagels with cream cheese continue to make for a delightful dining experience. Despite some recent concerns about food quality, Open City remains a great community spot. Whether visiting after a cathedral tour or exploring the neighborhood, Open City provides a convenient and pleasant dining option.
