"Maison Kayser, founded by fifth-generation French baker Eric Kayser, has opened its first location in D.C. This casual sit-down eatery, originally established in Paris in 1996, made its U.S. debut in New York City in 2012. The D.C. branch, located near the White House, offers fresh baked breads, gourmet pastries, and cafe-style fare. Reviews highlight the quality of the food, the friendly and clean environment, and the authentic French experience it provides." - Tierney Plumb
