"This James Beard Award-winning Van Ness bakery that turned 10 last year serves up fluffy, dimpled foccacia; breakfast items like pain au chocolate; brunch frittatas and bagels with gravlax; and quick French lunch staples like a baguette stuffed with ham, butter, and a tiny zing of Dijon. Call for curbside pickup, and order online for pickup and delivery. The neighborhood bakery also maintains a museum cafe in Dupont’s Phillips Collection." - Tierney Plumb
"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
"The popular James Beard award-winning bakery by Mark Furstenberg is offering Hanukkah delights from December 24-31. You’ll find chocolate babka (the sweet, yeasty bread made infamous on Seinfeld), latkes, sufganiyot with homemade applesauce from local farms, and challah at the Van Ness spot. Note that the bakery is “a little old school” and you’ll have to call ahead to put in an order." - Evan Caplan

"The beloved D.C. bakery churns out apple cider doughnuts as a weekend treat starting at 2 p.m. The recipe incorporates cider from Pennsylvania’s Quaker Valley Orchards, a local farmers market favorite." - Tierney Plumb
