I'm also from LA, and we have plenty of amazing bakeries, bread shoppes and wonderful food all around. I've had a tough time here in DC these last few months- the food quality just isn't the same, and the breads have all sucked. Thankfully I found mother's market, which I LOVE- and that first day of finding the market, I went right for the local baguette & sourdough. BOTH of which are fantastic. They are fresh, they last forever too! I can't believe how long my sourdough lasted! Anyway, if you're looking for the best bread in DC, you'd better get Lyon, they won't disappoint! It's the only brand or bread I'll be buying/eating here!!!

I first had Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in NYC. I'm so glad to see they made it down to DC! I'm no vegan,…read morebut it's nice to see that they have a wide selection of vegan ice cream flavors. It's a small shop, typically manned by only one staff member. There's a little counter space if you want to pull-off to the side to enjoy your ice cream, but it's primarily a grab-and-go (take your ice cream and eat it elsewhere) shoppe. The space was bright and clean; staff was friendly. They have fun flavors like mango sticky rice (vegan and regular), strawberry matcha (vegan), and banana bread pudding (vegan). They also have the more traditional flavors like chocolate, pistachio, cookies and cream, mint chip, strawberry, vanilla, etc. I stopped by for a scoop and decided to go with the peanut butter brownie honeycomb. I was a little hesitant about the honeycomb aspect, but it enhances the flavor and texture so much - it's next level! I loved it ~ now I have to go back and try their original honeycomb ice cream. It is pricey ice cream. It's about $8 for a single scoop, $9+ for two scoops, $10+ for three scoops - and that's before tax and tip, so it's closer to $9-$11+ for a cup of ice cream. It's definitely a "treat yo' self" kind of treat... this is the "high-end" part of Union Station, near the Laderach, Chiboo Bakery, and Neuhaus sweet boutique shops. They have waffle cones, add-on toppings, and other fun options like sundaes and floats. Currently they're offering a Shirley Temple Float... that's my drink right there! I will have to try it and report back. Van Leeuwen is the fancier option to the Shake Shack, McDonalds, Chick-fil-a, and Insomnia Cookies ice cream alternatives available at Union Station. The ice cream is delicious - sweet, creamy, rich, and made with premium ingredients. You can taste the quality. Van Leeuwen Ice Cream does not disappoint!

There are generally about a dozen or so vendors who cover everything from fruit and veggies to fresh pasta, locally made cheese, bubble tea, and ready-to-go meals like paella and pizza. The zaatar pie booth is one of my favorites and is something different than the norm. If you're interested in prepared food this is a pretty good market. If, like me, you'd like a wider selection of produce, this might not be your top choice. But you really can't beat the location if you're in Foggy Bottom and everything I've tried has been high quality, so I'll definitely be coming back.

I stopped by here a while ago on a mission to find the best sandwiches in America. While I can't…read moreconfirm that sandwiches by Phillip delivers, the guy can whip up something that's almost worth the money. I got a chicken sandwich that was topped off with what tasted like weeds and flowers, and I had mixed feelings about it. I would probably just order one of their 65-cent pickles next time. I'll be back so I can be wise and not spend an extra $3.50 on a sweetened tea beverage.

A bit off the street, and there are no signs to indicate the place exists. Cafe 28 serves coffee, tea, breakfast, salads, hot and cold sandwiches, wraps and more. Breakfast foods consist of a variety of breakfast sandwiches, bagels, omelets, pancakes, and breakfast Burritos. I ordered their "Grilled Rachel on Rye" sandwich. It consists of grilled smoked turkey, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, toasted rye bread, and Russian dressing. The sandwich was very tasty, hot, savory, and very yummy! Definitely will find reasons to come back here again and try out some other stuff! Cafe 28 opens at 8:00 am and closes at 3:00 pm.

This cafe, while very convenient for the workers it shares the building with, falls very short on…read moreproviding value and good food. Let's talk about the best things first... Omelets are good, breakfast in general is good, and there are lots of options on the menu for lunch as well. Now, the largest disadvantage here is the value. The menu items are at a minimum $1 more per item than they should be. The specials offered at lunch, aren't all the special in price or taste. I can't help but think that the cafe would be doing far better than it is IF it catered to those in the building by offering good food at GOOD (see: "decent") prices. You cannot place an order without spending $10-$11. And that's for a modest wrap, chips or fries, and a drink. You get better food and more of it at Chipotle or any number of lunch restaurants in the local area. Even the coffee, which is above average, is about the price you'd pay at Starbucks...hence all the people walking into the lobby in the morning with...you guessed it....cups of Starbucks' coffee instead of paying this cafe a visit. Taste is obviously important. I'm afraid this place falls short there as well. I've been given my fair share of old, cold french fries on occasion. I guess I didn't show up at the right time in order to deserve "fresh" (see: "Warm") fries. Anyway, it's not all bad. But there is plenty of room for improvement.

I believe they're working on getting a liquor license, so hopefully they'd stay open later too!

This was a bit of a surprising find for me; the neighborhood is not a restaurant-y destination…read more(though it isn't all that far from the Metro), and the location itself is a little island created by DC's oddly angled streets. It has off-street parking, which is a big deal in this neighborhood, and the indoor and outdoor space is an impressive buildout, though while it is aesthetically pleasing, the traffic noise is significant outside and the uneven DC pavement means that those outdoor tables are so off-level that I was constantly worried that my glassware would slip off of the table. Moving on to service, that was not a success; I was given a number and a menu and told to take a seat, but the fact that I did so outside somehow completely bamboozled the staff, who were unable to locate me to the point that when I went back inside twenty minutes later they said they thought I'd disappeared. The cuisine itself though was intriguing. An indulgent brunch menu included a separate vegetarian/vegan section. Not being overly hungry, I went for a chia pudding. It was a nicely rendered creation, the elevated peanut butter and jelly theme revolved around berry preserves, and when I ran out of them at the top I found a second layer at the bottom. A blue algae matcha was a little sweeter than I was expecting, but still a nice beverage overall and was available with alternate milks for no extra charge (although the price was still what you'd pay if you asked for oat milk somewhere else). They offer wifi and I telework, so the menu might tempt me to try them again and hope they can do a little bit better on the service side, but the big picture is that I liked the place.
