If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then the D.C. area is runs on premium. While political strivers and decision-makers gravitate towards hotels for power breakfasts, options for those who are only on their first cup of coffee of the day include no-frills diners like Murry & Paul’s, Lincoln Waffle Shop, and Steak-n-Egg, plus plenty of spots serving stellar breakfast sandwiches to brighten up a morning. High-level pastries from Ellē’s bakery in Mount Pleasant or the wood-fired bagel sandwiches filled with farmers market produce at Call Your Mother don’t disappoint. For a brand new option, consider chef Omar Marroquin’s Titos Breakfast Burritos stall at Eckington Hall.
Most options on this map are concentrated in D.C. proper, but a few iconic suburban breakfast joints are highlighted here as well.
