Food Scene

Best latte I've had in DC - maybe the whole US! They also use local, super creamy milk in all of their coffee concoctions. Also, fresh pastries and quiche every morning. In the evenings, they provide a pretty solid happy hour.

Food, butcher, fish monger, donuts, oysters, homemade pastas... a little shopping... juice bar... they have it all. As well as a really cute outdoor area to sit. Union Market is a cool place to grad dinner or drinks and chill.

All food in pie form. Who doesn't love pie? Based out of Baltimore, this place rocks. Highly recommend the curry tofu, classic chicken pot pie... the crab and cheddar quiche is killer. On the sweet side, I love-love any of their cream pies and their coconut chess. Now with a concert venue for live music on the top floor. Try the date night deals, Monday-Wednesdays

SO MUCH ON THE MENU - it's absurd. Everything is fantastic though. I like this space for family times. Most of the best DC places are either not super kid friendly or they're super tiny... this restaurant has space, a little higher volume and a pretty central location.

This is our absolute favorite place in all of DC. The best ON TAP black tea you'll ever have in your life. Best baked goods - cakes, pies, cookies, random bars... amazing cafe menu as well. Their breakfast sammie is heaven - I don't know what they do to their biscuits, but they're INCREDIBLE. Also, the fried green tomato sandwich... whoa. I've never had a thing there I didn't love.
