Where to Grab an Essential Breakfast To Go Around D.C.
"This new daytime cafe resides in a canary-colored private dining room inside Albi, chef Michael Rafidi’s wood-burning Middle Eastern restaurant in Navy Yard. The mix of high-end, fine dining techniques and traditional Levantine flavors continues at the bakery with breakfast pita sandwiches full of smoked labneh, harissah bacon and cheese croissants, and morning buns spiced with ras al hanout. Breakfast starts at 8 a.m., and weekends bring on urfa chile-spiced bagels and shakshuka. Order takeout online." - Lisa Ruland, Gabe Hiatt, Tierney Plumb
