"James Beard Award-winning baker Mark Furstenberg’s tiny cafe in Van Ness is one of the city's best places to buy baguettes, chocolate croissants, and English muffins. It opens at 8 a.m., and has built out an impressive retail market during the pandemic, offering access to wholesalers for high-quality coffee and olive oil. A cute Bread Furst offshoot also sits inside Dupont’s Phillips Collection museum." - Tierney Plumb, Tim Ebner
