- 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
- 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!
- 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!
- 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
- So many good options here. The bacon cheddar scones might be my favorite.
- 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.
- Such an awesome bakery. Try a lemon blueberry muffin for breakfast or a caprese sandwich for lunch.
- The Jen's Rising breakfast sandwich was delicious. Looking forward to trying their burger in the near future.
- Mark TegethoffMay 17, 2014Cannot go wrong with the egg sandwiches at breakfast. My personal choice is the Rising Sun Croissantwich
- The Willing Noham might be the best breakfast sandwich ever made. Do yourself a favor and get one right now.
- 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.
- 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
- Sarah SkardaJuly 25, 2013Best sticky buns ever! I also love the chicken salad sandwich with watercress....delish! ๐
- Ozzie's ham and salami sandwich, lobster bisque, and the chocolate expresso cookie are all AMAZING!
- Their cupcakes are heavenly too. Call ahead and they can reserve for you before they run out, especially on the weekends!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Thuy-Linh NguyenSeptember 1, 2013Apple monkey bread was amazing. Mango chicken salad was also very satisfying.
- 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
- 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.
- Forget DC Cupcakes, the cupcakes here are the best kept secret in the area.
- Phoebe MichelleApril 30, 2012The cupcakes are amazing! But they only make limited batches so buy them between 1030a-3p daily!
- I've been buying goodies here for years and have never regretted a purchase.
- I get the Grilled Chicken Havarti sandwich each time I come here. It never disappoints!!
- Breakfast sandwiches make for excellent hangover food :-)
- 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.
