44 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Alexandria

“This is a tiny, and I mean TINY place that you will easily miss if not looking specifically for it. The staff were great, and my panini and hash brown were delicious.

The most surprising part is the cost! Quite easily half the price of any other restaurant in old town.“

“Fantastic food, super staff, lots of space, and WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE!“

“My waitress Ms. Zafirah was great! She was friendly, courteous and helpful. My good however was a problem. I’m 37 weeks prego. I ordered the trifecta with a pancake. Had to send it back 3 times in order to get hot food. Was not happy about the kitchen service but my waitress was nice.“

“Friendly & amazing customer service, and delicious food and drinks. Thank you!“

“Service was great, and the steak tips with eggs were point on! Steak was a perfect medium, and the grilled onions had a little crunch left.
I don't know why I often think that IHOP is nothing special. This is so wrong because my past dining experience with IHOP is always positive. The most recent, steak tips and eggs, was one of the best meals that I have had in a while.
I will definitely go more often.“

“This location is well managed, food is good with quick and friendly service and clean. Super impressive, but building deserves a remodel. It's currently decorated for the holidays, attached pic is from the ladies' room which was super clean.“

“First Watch did not disappoint. We’d been meaning to come for a while and when we finally did, it was everything we were expecting. The food and drinks were amazing so was the service. The atmosphere was great for brunch and the restaurant itself was really clean. I’d recommend it to anyone that enjoys good food.“

“What can I say about this place? Excellent customer service ✅ clean front and back inside and out including bathroom ✅ great food ✅ Food ready on time ✅ Great listening for customer complaints ✅ No attitude or gloomy looks or sarcastic face or groompy or annoying or disrespectful or unapealing services from employees or Management ✅

People what else can you want in a place you plan to come and sit and eat and enjoy yourself your family and your food. I drive from Fairfax VA (Jermantown Ave) to eat here for past 5 years. I recommend this place 100000%“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My wife, our son, and I really enjoyed dining today at the IHOP on Alabama Avenue (in DC, of course).
We were quite satisfied with the customer-friendliness of our waitress, Tiffany. The quality of her service to us was matched by the quality of our meal - top class!
It was a very refreshing and memorable experience!
We would definitely be returning customers; and heartily recommend IHOP!“

“Visiting from ohio. One server handled the whole place. She was great! Awesome teamwork, food came out hot and fast. Great little place!“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“Celebrating my wife’s birthday!“

“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.“

“Great food. Great people fun place to have great good with fun people“

“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!!“

“We’ve been coming here for the past two years. The restaurant is always clean and the food is good—especially the blueberry pancakes, which are our favorite! However, customer service could definitely be improved to make the overall experience better.“

“A friend and I enjoyed a quick lunch here. I got the pork bibimbap bowl which came with steamed rice, lettuce, radish, carrots, green pepper, red cabbage, cucumber kimchi and a fried egg. With the spicy sauce, the bowl made for a filling meal, and I only had a small bit of the rice. My friend had a tuna salad sandwich, which was fine.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food, great staff, and Jose and Nikki are wonderful!“

“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.“

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

“As someone who has wanted to try Cracked for some time, I was finally able to do so. The animal was precisely what I expected: hearty and meaty goodness. My only complaint is that I wish they had put more crack sauce and salt/pepper on the eggs. The tots were fried perfectly and properly coated with Old Bay. There is a great atmosphere and peaceful surroundings that make you forget that you're in the middle of NOVA.

Parking: Garage parking is available, but you can also opt for street parking closer to Boeing Bridge Park or by the sports field and enjoy a nice pre- and post-meal stroll.“

“My exercise partner and I were looking for a place that wasn't local. We chose this location because it was 4.2 stars and roughly 30 minutes from our house. The first thing we noticed as we got closer to the entrance was that all of the windows in this property had steel bars covering them. I instantly thought, "We will be completely protected inside if there is a riot between the police and gangs outside." I discovered that you need to be buzzed in by the owner to enter the restaurant as I was reaching to open the entrance.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was 13 I’m 33 now I always appreciated the way the owners treated me they never judged and always been kind and man you can’t find that everywhere thanks for being in my neighborhood so I was lucky enough to grow up on white corner 😊🔥💯💯💯“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“A bn la cocina más rapidez“

“Lovely Service ❤️ Great food really enjoyed“

“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.“

“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.“

“Casual take out restaurant that serves more than breakfast. There’s no seating here so you need to take your food to go. Chicken wings were decent - they tasted more like home fried chicken than commercial fast food chicken. The Mac n Cheese looked great and cheesy but it tasted just ok. The potato wedges in the warming window looked amazing - wish I had gotten these instead of the Mac. Will come back to try breakfast items next time.“

“Santina was very courteous, friendly and was patient. I had blueberry pancakes - eggs combo, it was fantastic. When customer service is good I forget about everything else, at the same time the ambience, parking, cleanliness inside all are good.“
