Daily Provisions - Dupont Circle

Danny Meyer’s Daily Provisions Opens in D.C. | Eater DC

"Making its D.C. debut in Dupont Circle’s former Foxtrot storefront, this fast-casual cafe serves straightforward, counter-service meals all day (7 a.m. to 9 p.m.), highlighted by a special egg-and-cheese that swaps bacon for a MeatCrafters half-smoke patty with crispy potatoes. Breakfast leans on high-quality staples like famed crullers—cinnamon sugar, maple, or glaze—once called the best doughnut in NYC by the Infatuation, plus egg-and-cheese sandwiches under $10 (unless you put the fillings between maple crullers), everything-seasoned croissants stuffed with cream cheese, yogurt and granola, and avocado toast, alongside espresso, drip, cold brew, and matcha or chai lattes. Lunch and dinner bring a “cheffy” white-bean-and-Gruyere salad with a jammy egg, a breaded chicken sandwich with melted mozzarella, roasted peppers, and Caesar dressing, a patty melt on rye with caramelized onions, and the menu’s centerpiece: half or whole roasted chickens with sides like chile-honey Brussels sprouts, crispy Parmesan potatoes, and a green bean–tomato salad. Drinks stick to classic wines, a D.C.-leaning beer list (Honor Brewing, Crooked Run Fermentation, Aslin Beer Company), and a single cocktail—the espresso martini. True to the brand’s hospitality-first ethos, it’s designed for quality, everyday food and coffee that won’t break the bank, and on opening day the first 100 diners in line for coffee and breakfast sandwiches get a free cruller." - Emily Venezky
