    Living in the area for 20 years, first time at Junction and it was great!!!! It was a rainy day, and the place was still packed. The service was great..

    A cute cafe in del Rey neighborhood with friendly service and large selection of baked goods. The menu also has plenty of salad, sandwich and miscellaneous packaged (potato salad, pimento cheese) options. I opted for the cheddar biscuit and carrot cronut. Both were pretty tasty.

    Came here to meet some friends for brunch - really cool spot! You walk in and place your order before seating. They have a variety of delicious desserts (we got a carrot cake cruffin) and also full brunch menu. My hubby got gravy and biscuits, and I got a fried chicken biscuit (when back in Virginia, get the Southern food they said). I loved mine! The pickles tasted homemade and tangy, and I loved the cheddar biscuit it came on. For a drink, we shared a large lavender latte - solid but not blown away (esp for the price). The weather was nice enough where we were able to sit outside on the patio - loved the corner spot to be able to people watch! Would come back here again for another meal.

    About a 1-1.5: Junction Bakery & Bistro is located in the Del Ray area, and they offer a pretty extensive menu, featuring various coffee and tea, cocktails/wine/beer, breakfast/brunch options, to-go family-style dinners, pastries, as well as a HH. We stopped by after stopping by the market on a weekend to grab some beverages: +a seasonal Lavender Honey Latte - unfortunately, there was no hint of either flavors and was more of a steamed milk situation +a Chai Latte - this was super watered down and had absolutely no flavor at all Staff are super friendly. When you step inside, you order and they'll give you a number stand; the drinks are brought out to you, which is a nice touch. There's ample seating, as well as some seats outdoors for those who enjoy an al fresco option. Street parking can be found in the area. +watered down drinks +friendly staff

    All american burger

    Love this neighborhood. Walked in and eyed the beautiful pastry display. Lots of bread, croissants, muffins, cruffins scones, monkey bread, etc. The young man at the counter was very nice and helpful. He helped me decide what to order. Picked up a churro cruffin and monkey bread. Then ordered the All American Burger. The food came quick. It was described as a smashed burger, but it was a hefty 2 patty burger. It came with lettuce, tomato, pickles, a sauce and mayo. The sauces weren't distinct. I wished there was something to cut the richness. The bun was nice, warm, soft, and fresh. Brioche I suspect. The fries were hot: crispy on the outside soft in the middle. The cruffin really surprised me. I thought it would be crispy or dry but it was pillowy soft. I cut it down the middle as the instructions suggested. It had a mild flavor. I was expecting more cinnamon flavor hence the name churro. The pastry cream texture was airy and light. Want to try more pastries

    Such a cute little spot with really nice vibes! I stopped in for a quick break and ordered a London Fog latte -- it was perfectly made, smooth, and comforting. The space itself feels cozy and cute bistro vibes. I didn't try the food this time, but the menu looked great and I'd love to come back to try it soon.

    I love bringing my toddler to Junction because of the tables on their patio. The space inside is a little tight so we haven't been since the weather got too cold to sit outside. However, I still stop by whenever I'm close by because I'm obsessed with their crookie (croissant and cookie). Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of their coffee drinks; they all taste sour to my palate. The food is consistently delicious and you can't go wrong with any of the food selection!

    Super cute spot for some yummy casual bites! I had a breakfast sandwich thingy but on a super yummy biscuit. It came with sausage but I asked for bacon! It was super yummy and also came with potatoes! I had orange juice and also a hot caramel latte which was sooooooooooooooo good! I would definitely go back for the latte and try something else on the menu. That French toast was calling me but I couldn't do it - next time! Great customer service too!!

    Come. Here. For. Cocktails. I'm obsessed with Autumn in general and they definitely did Fall flavors right. My friends and I got Autumn in the tropics (this one was definitely the favorite amongst all of us), four crazy cat ladies (our least favorite), fall sangria, espresso martini and the fall gala. They were all so pretty and the bartender certainly had cool tricks to show while making them. The service is top-notch as the servers continuously asked if we needed anything and took away finished dishes in a timely manner. The menu itself has so much variety that there's definitely something for everyone. Our favorite was the pot roast as the meat was oh so tender.

    I heard good things about Junction Bakery and was happy to see it was in my area. The bakery has soemthing for everyone. They even have a full menu with other sweet and savory dishes. I came in just for the Cruffin on this visit but will be back to check out their menu. The Alexandria location has added some outdoor seating with a semi covered patio. When I came they were completing the renovations. The Cruffin was perfectly crispy on the outside and had a sweet but not overpowering filling on the inside. Hands down amazing treat. The baked goods are made fresh daily and are well worth the extra calories.

    I love that this place as a bakery and bistro also has a bar and a variety of cocktail drinks. It is a nice vibe with good food. We got the brussel sprouts and fries as a little snack and they paired perfectly together. After a while the brussel sprouts started to taste sour but i believe it is because the pickled onions become over powering so i would recommend eating them with something else, like the fries. Our drinks are kind of basic but it was the kind of night we were looking for. Simple drinks with some grub. When we left to go to the waterfront we took a spiked coffee to go and it was just the right mix. The cashier that helped us was edwin. They were out of partly cloudy (the original ipa i wanted) and he recommended this one and let me try the other options. He was very kind and helpful when we were deciding what we wanted. Good service and good food. i like this place.

At first, you'll see what looks like just a pizza shop -- but if you head in and either use the side door or walk through and climb a set of stairs, you'll find the speakeasy upstairs. Very cool vibe: dark, cozy, and date-night ready. Drinks: 4/5 I ordered their take on an Old Fashioned, and it was definitely the highlight of the night but sweeter than I would have liked. They served it over a stamped solid block of ice (a small detail I ). My friend was abstaining from alcohol that night and asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail. To our surprise, they didn't just hand her a lemonade like most places -- they actually made her a crafted virgin drink, which she loved. Food: 3/5 We ordered fries and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The fries turned out to be waffle fries (not mentioned on the menu) and were overly crispy, so not really our favorite. The pizza was fine -- clearly sourced from the shop downstairs -- but it leaned oily and didn't really wow us. Service: 5/5 Pretty standard -- nothing over the top, but not neglectful either. Drinks came out reasonably fast, food followed, and we were checked on enough without it feeling pushy. Vibes: 4/5 The speakeasy itself is definitely the selling point. Dark, intimate, and stylish -- you feel like you've found a little hidden spot. All in all, the cocktails are the reason to come, especially if you're into whiskey. The food was forgettable, but it's convenient that you can order pizza upstairs. We spent about $30-40 for drinks and snacks, which isn't shocking for Old Town. Would I go back? Maybe if I was already in the area, but for a dedicated whiskey night, I'd probably head somewhere else.
