"A Baked Joint is Baked & Wired’s love letter to breakfast and bread. The Mount Vernon Triangle spot has a big open kitchen, a coffee bar in the middle, and plenty of seating—tables, a standing bar, even some lofted nooks for when you want to disappear with a latte. It’s equally great for catching up with friends or pretending to work on your laptop, but the real reason to be here is the breakfast biscuit sandwich—flaky, buttery, and the best thing on the menu. It sells out before noon on weekends, so either set an alarm or prepare to stare at the menu like it’s a Metro bus schedule—full of options, but somehow missing the one thing you wanted." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras
