    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.

    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!

    Type away to the smells of fresh bread being baked at this Arlington spot. Extra seating during morning hours is available in adjoining sister restaurant Carlyle. Read more

    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.

    Got 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

    The lunch box is a great value. A ridiculously good sandwich, bottle of water, a side of chips or pasta salad and a cookie. You canโ€™t go wrong! Read more

    The 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.

    David'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.

    Chicken 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

    Long 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.

    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.
