The Best Bakeries Around D.C. | Eater DC
"Eater DC’s 2018 Restaurant of the Year energizes sleepy Mount Pleasant with rustic baguettes, breakfast sandwiches, guava turnovers, lemon poppy pound cake, dimly lit dinners, and an undeniable devotion to fermentation. Served on a sesame potato roll, the hit breakfast sandwich includes brisket pastrami that’s brined for two weeks, smoked for eight to 10 hours, crusted with peppercorns and coriander, and steamed until tender. On top of that, tender farm eggs, white cheddar cheese, and fermented chile hot sauce complete the sandwich. The bakery and cafe by day flips into a full-service restaurant by night, with indoor dinner seatings available on Resy. Online ordering here." - Tierney Plumb
