Sweet and savory breakfast treats: What could be a better start to your day? Here are five Northern Virginia bakeries creating standout confections.
Bayou Bakery
Arlington
David Guas is a telegenic chef who brought authentic New Orleans beignets covered with powdered sugar to Arlington. On weekends, sip a Bayou Bloody Mary while you try the Bayou Taters and biscuits and gravy sandwich.
Red Truck Bakery
Marshall and Warrenton
From NPR’s Splendid Table to Oprah Winfrey, Red Truck’s star power is undeniable. Step inside the sunny bistro and inhale the aroma of fresh-baked bread and pies. Try the sour cream coffee cake, savory quiches, and housemade granola.
Northside Social
Arlington and Falls Church
Arrive at breakfast for the steel-cut oatmeal with bananas, almond butter, and brown sugar. Breakfast sandwiches contain healthy ingredients like sunflower seeds and peanut butter hummus. Don’t miss the gluten-free lemon-blueberry-ricotta scone and Nutella pop tarts.
Ghadah Bakery
McLean
This family-operated bakery is best known for its delicious croissants, especially the almond–powdered sugar version, baked fresh daily. More options include the feta cheese, thyme, and black sesame seed croissant; and blueberry muffins.
