Un je nais se quoi - it’s far from where I live so I only get to go on match days, but their pistachio croissant is the stuff of dreams.

My favorite breakfast sandwich is Elle’s brisket sandwich in Mt Pleasant. Order ahead online. Too good

Stunned “Bagels Etc” wasn’t at the top of this list. Best breakfast sandwich in DC by a country mile.

Tony’s Breakfast Place off H street. Best fried chicken around, and only in the am. They switch to chicken wings only later in the day. (Which are also spectacular)

I’m not falling for your trap. The answer is home because if you go buy coffee and avocado toast how will you afford to gas up your Ferrari?

Market Lunch! Gotta time it right for it to be "quick" but it's the best diner-style breakfast in DC

I'm an Elle defender but yeah the prices are fucking bananas. I've also gone for the dinner service a few times and each time it was hundreds of dollars and totally unmemorable.

Their guava turnover is A+++ though

Judy and her crew could make any operation more efficient. 3yrs of living next door to this place gave me such an appreciation for their system. If there wasn’t a line, I was out of there in <3 minutes with an amazing sandwich in hand.

I've only had Bethesda bagels once, but if I recall bagels etc was a bit more doughy and way more flavorful (not the toppings, but the actual bagel dough has a delicious almost nutty flavor)

I've gotten in/out on a weekday before 8:30AM. It is a crap shoot depending on the latest article, IG post came out lol

It's good and I've been getting them when they started as a pop up at Purple but not something I'd wait in line for (and Im a "will wait in line for food" kinda person lol)

>too expensive for what it is

This aint no egg McMuffin with off shelf mass produced products. The sandwich itself is practically a caricature of hipster-small-batch-homemade since everything including the hot sauce is made from scratch. They might as well tell us the hen's name. Queue Portlandia skit

I'm admittedly a Elle stan but i remember back in the day the bfast sandwich was made to order in front and it takes long AF bc they do that French omelet technique and put a TON of butter. Actually it's prob better that they make it BOH so people don't know how much butter goes into a single sandwich.

Best yes expensive and not a quick brand and go.

Buffalo & Bergen at Union Market is great (order online in advance)

Bullfrog Bagels is good too.

Breakfast tacos at Foxtrot (at least the Mt Vernon Square location). They're small and tasty, just right for a quick breakfast.

Call Your Mother is the best for bagels in the city. You can schedule your order on their Tock in advance for next-day delivery so there’s no waking up and waiting an hour. Life-altering revelation.

In NE, I Egg You is great for a greasy Texas Toast breakfast sammy, and they have always have a new weekend special. They put this delightful old bay jalapeño sauce on the side and it’s fantastic. Side loaded potatoes are also a winner.

If you want fried tots, Cracked Eggery is good but their sandwiches are burger style and not quite as good as I Egg You.

That’s all I got. Enjoy.

I never understood the Tony's boner on this sub.

Yeah, it's cheap, but that's like all they have going for them. It's slow as hell and the food is ridiculously plain - a breakfast sandwich is just an egg and Sysco bacon on wonder bread. The pancakes are clearly Krusteaz food service mix and corn syrup "syrup."

If all you want is a cheap bland breakfast you could make the exact same thing cheaper and faster at home.

When I'm too lazy to make my own bagels Bullfrog is my go-to.

Everything bagel with egg, extra bacon, cheddar cheese and Sriracha mayo is one of if not the best bagel sandwich in DC.

Sunrise Cafe on 17th and L. No frills, filling, affordable, and quick. Sometimes you just want a commodity omelette and starchy potatoes for <$10.

what? to each their own but these (specifically from this location, not sure about others) are some of the worst breakfast items ive ever had. they're the size of a pinky finger and each time i have to peel the tortilla off the foil. its been about six months since ive been, and at the time they were coming out of a steamer which i thought was incredibly weird. maybe they've changed since then.
