I got a plain bagel along with a bacon, egg and cheese. The bagel was fresh and the breakfast sandwich definitely hit the spot.

The bagels are always on point! I especially love their seasonal sandwiches. Current faves: the Edgewater, Sun City, and classics toasted with butter, cinnamon, and sugar for the little people. Even in the busiest times, the team is friendly, fast, and accommodating for special requests/variations. They also expanded outdoor seating, which is so nice for families and friends. Love love love this spot!

And I do love the reimagining to a flat shape but these pancitos are VERY greasy and very seasoned when they shouldn't be. It left me feeling sick. -The lox is not great quality. It's that simple. If you know, you know. - The veggie cream cheese was fair. Not flavorful enough but at least it wasn't sweet, which is the common misstep I find outside of NY. - Bagels are meh. Not fab but not bad for outside NY. - The pickle! One of the worst offenders. It's called a full sour on the menu. It's not. It's a dill pickle. Sacrilege outside of the 5 boros. There was one bright shining star though. The latkes! I've never had a latke (potato pancake) that wasn't as heavy as a brick and soaked in grease. That's just how they are. Sometimes they are way too seasoned, too. But these majestic bites of heaven are light as a feather, not soaked in grease and not overly seasoned. And they are GF. Pair with sour cream and that heavenly apple jam. Yowza. I will come back for this, but nothing else. (Wished they bring this fínese to the pan de queso.) -

I greatly underestimated how popular these doughnuts are lol. Out of the three times I wanted to…read moreorder their doughnuts, I was only able to successfully get them once. Granted, on the two Saturdays I wanted to go to Doughlab, they sold out before noon and I'm not much of a morning person. Luckily, on the Sunday I went, they still had plenty in stock before noon. I'm glad they're pretty active on their Instagram (@doughlab_loudon) so I was able to check their Instagram story if they were sold out for the day or not. Their Instagram is also a good place to see what that week's rotation of flavors are. Doughnuts Ordered: * worth trying - [Everything Bagel Doughnut w/ Chives]: I was most excited to try this because I've never heard of a savory doughnut before but I was little disappointed. I thought the everything bagel seasoning on the outside was too salty and there was too much whipped cream cheese filling for my preference. Still, a very unique doughnut. - [Pumpkin Pie (Filled)*]: Conversely, I wish there was more pumpkin creme filling in this doughnut; I loved the whipped consistency. - [Cinnamon Brioche Twist Doughnut*]: This was so good! They reminded me of kkwabaegi. Would I go back? : I would but, sadly, yesterday, Dec 28th, was Doughlab's last day of operations due to the owner moving away. I'm glad I was able to try them before they closed. For anyone missing similar filled, malasada-type doughnuts, @foodooboos recently made an Instagram reel about where to find filled doughnuts in the DMV.

It's even smaller, and in a tiny random, not where you would expect to find bakery! It has a tiny display of fresh pastries, shelf full of fresh baked breads and freezer full of more breads! Service is great, always with a smile. We tried a little bit of everything and ended up going back a couple of days later for some fresh bread. Finding good, like good gf bread is really hard. Most times literally hard. Got the brioche buns and was impressed for gf buns! Yes they still fell apart. Yes they weren't as soft as traditional brioche, but they were good for gf buns. I love their ham and cheese croissant. It's greasy, I prefer it cold, my kid only likes it warmed up. Donut is by far the best gf cake style donut we've ever had. It's light, flavor is incredible, moist. I typically skip gf cake donuts, but this one was calling to me, so happy we got it. Cinnamon roll was not good. Frosting had zero sugar. It was hard as a rock, so no one wanted to eat it. But as most gf cinnamon rolls, you have to eat them within a few hours, so this one could have just been too old. There's a decent amount of gluten free bakeries scattered across the DMV area, but this is by far the best for bread! The best variety, fresh and frozen. If they sell out of something you can count on they'll have a back up of something similar. Also. surprised to see complaining about prices..... I actually think they aee cheap for gluten free items!

I have found the coffee shop I didn't know I was looking for…read more My wife told me I needed to check out Weird Brothers Coffee because, as she put it, "You're a huge Star Wars nerd. You're going to love this place." She knows me well. Walking into Weird Brothers feels a little like stumbling into the cantina after taking a wrong turn through Mos Eisley. The place is loaded with Star Wars, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Nightmare Before Christmas memorabilia. As a longtime Star Wars fan and hardcore comic collector, I immediately went into "Okay, let's see what they have" mode. And that's before even getting to the coffee. Weird Brothers roasts their own beans and has a bunch of sci-fi-themed blends. The names alone had me reaching for my wallet. I'm the kind of person who will buy a comic because it says "First Appearance" on the bag, so naturally I'm susceptible to coffee with a geeky name. They even have a special blend for the CrossFit gym next door, which I thought was a pretty cool touch. Nothing says community partnership quite like supplying caffeine to people voluntarily throwing heavy objects around at 6 a.m. Supporting your neighboring businesses? +5 reputation points. Now, about the food... Come here for the coffee. When we visited, they were completely out of the breakfast sandwiches. The remaining options were quiches, so we grabbed the ham & cheese and spinach. Unfortunately, they weren't freshly made and were simply reheated. They were perfectly edible, but definitely more "side quest" than "main storyline." The Americano, however, was good. That's what brought me back to the primary mission: coffee and geeky stuff. I definitely want to return and pick up a few bags of their beans. At this point, I'm basically looking at the coffee menu the same way I look at a wall of long boxes at a comic shop: "I don't need all of these... but I should probably check every single one just in case there's a key." Four stars for the coffee, atmosphere, in-house roasting, and ridiculous amount of geek cred. The food kept this from going to five stars, but I'll absolutely be back. Now excuse me while I go investigate these coffee blends like I'm hunting for a first appearance of Boba Fett in a stack of back issues. May the roast be with you.
