The breakfast sandwiches are the best but I would call ahead so you don't have to wait for them. The fresh baked breads are delicious as well as the desserts and pastries.
Autty CrosbyJanuary 5, 2014Great place for random homemade breads, awesome breakfast sandwiches, and people watching
Breakfast sandwiches are amazing - but they only serve them until 10am on weekends bc they use carlyles kitchen. Also, during the weekday mornings, they open Carlyle for seating for bb customers.Love!
Beloved breakfast sandwiches, though I find them too salty. Best (Starbucks brand) coffee in Shirlington, paired with a biscotti and al fresco dining is perfection!
It's really all great, but top 3 picks are willingnoham breakfast sandwich, two raisin pecan bread and sticky bun. Service is outstanding and fast.
The best place in Shirlington for a quick, quality meal. The area is full of sit-down restaurants, but you can buy a sandwich here and eat it at their (short) window countertop.
Andrew COctober 25, 2017Got some muffins and a cookie... even hours later, both were still fresh and tasted great!!! The waiting area at the bakery counter is kinda small, so they are relatively quick
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014The lunch box is a great value. A ridiculously good sandwich, bottle of water, a side of chips or pasta salad and a cookie. You canโt go wrong! Read more
Amanda McCormickApril 19, 2017The Carlyle next door reserves some tables and booths for customers from Best Buns if you want somewhere to sit while you eat.
So many good options here. The bacon cheddar scones might be my favorite.
W FrankensteinJuly 7, 2011Chicken salad sandwich is fantastic. Really. If the bread on any of the sandwiches is too soft, they will make your sandwich on a bread of your choice. The baguette is fan
Mark TegethoffMay 17, 2014Cannot go wrong with the egg sandwiches at breakfast. My personal choice is the Rising Sun Croissantwich
Such an awesome bakery. Try a lemon blueberry muffin for breakfast or a caprese sandwich for lunch.
Reagan BarbosaMay 13, 2017David's Drumroll & Jen's Croissant were both tasty breakfast sandwiches. Willing-No-Ham was too salty. Wasn't impressed with their loaves of bread; Great Harvest has much better specialty breads.
Sarah SkardaJuly 25, 2013Best sticky buns ever! I also love the chicken salad sandwich with watercress....delish! ๐
There's a reason the line is so long on weekend mornings. It's worth the wait. Try the Rene's Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich.
Ozzie's ham and salami sandwich, lobster bisque, and the chocolate expresso cookie are all AMAZING!
Erin RathMay 30, 2016Long line, but the food is worth the wait. Croissant sandwich was nice and greasy and flavorful. A bit disappointed they serve Starbucks rather than a local roast.
The Jen's Rising breakfast sandwich was delicious. Looking forward to trying their burger in the near future.
Phoebe MichelleApril 30, 2012The cupcakes are amazing! But they only make limited batches so buy them between 1030a-3p daily!
John WelchFebruary 1, 2019I asked for whole wheat bagel. Got home, cut it open.....not whole wheat. Helper that morning seems aloof as did the other helpers
Chocolate cupcake w/ coconut frosting is best cupcake in DC area! Chicken salad sandwich & apple monkey bread also amazing. You pretty much can't go wrong here.
Their cupcakes are heavenly too. Call ahead and they can reserve for you before they run out, especially on the weekends!- Thuy-Linh NguyenSeptember 1, 2013Apple monkey bread was amazing. Mango chicken salad was also very satisfying.
- jennifer moss kincaidJuly 8, 2011i love the mango chicken pecan salad soo much. cupcakes here are definitely bigger & better than the ones down the street at cakelove.
- The Willing Noham might be the best breakfast sandwich ever made. Do yourself a favor and get one right now.
I get the Grilled Chicken Havarti sandwich each time I come here. It never disappoints!!
JacobJune 6, 2010The apple monkey bread is great! Also, just randomly won a free loaf of bread when paying. Great way to start the day.
Breakfast sandwiches make for excellent hangover food :-)
James GardinerMay 21, 2010The Roasted Chicken Salad is awesome. Apparently it's he exact same salad you can get at the Carlyle but almost $5 cheaper
I've been buying goodies here for years and have never regretted a purchase.
Forget DC Cupcakes, the cupcakes here are the best kept secret in the area.
