For the full recap of our trip, don’t miss: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5
You know we love to eat, and when traveling, we love to find bakeries and pizzerias. And coffee. Coffee is very important in this household. Well friends, I’m here to tell you we were spoiled for choice in Alexandria: there’s a coffeehouse on every block, it seems! It’s also an amazing food destination, and we had the hardest time narrowing down our choices! Most of our meals ended up being in Alexandria, but DC itself has even more options. So many flavors, so little time. Next time we go, I’m sure we will have a whole list of potential dining options.
Our foodie discoveries are going to be grouped by “main meals” and “coffeehouse/treats,” since our pastry finds happened alongside the coffee most days.
RedRocks Old Town (Alexandria)
Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza (Alexandria)
those particular ones were delicious.
Kramer’s (DuPont Circle)
Bistro Du Jour (Washington DC)
Tatte (Alexandria)
Also: they don’t make tea like we do.
Fresh Baguette (Alexandria)
Mudhouse (Alexandria)
Misha’s Coffee (Alexandria)
The pastries were also amazing {I do not know the names}.
I tried a seasonal cookie butter latte this time.
The Creamery (Alexandria)
We picked this one, because it was local + homemade.
It’s safe to say we indulged in some delicious things while on vacation. {I admit we also hit up Chick-fil-A one night, because it was convenient}. Kramer’s was maybe the best meal + overall vibes, there was such an energy to the place {and it’s obvious 2 college campuses are nearby}. Our favorite coffeehouse was definitely Misha’s, and they even recognized us when we returned the next day. But there were many things left untasted, waiting for next time.
Do you like to try local foodie spots, or stick to the familiar?

Thank you for indulging such a prolonged recap of our Washington DC experience: I hope you’ve enjoyed traveling vicariously with us!
