Big Bear Cafe
@postcardsfrom
The cutest and coziest. Amazing breakfast options but great all day and cocktail menu too. Lots of outdoor seating.

Firehook Bakery

Baked goods are *chefs kiss*. Their homemade crackers are my go-to for cheese boards.

Best for to-go orders. They have coffee ice cubes for all the iced coffee girlies out there 👀

Dolcezza Gelato & Coffee
@postcardsfrom
Stop at this cozy cafe & gelato shop for a treat to take along your walk.
From here go any direction you'd like to reach tagged locations. You can't go wrong, there is something interesting to see on almost every street in this neighborhood, especially in the more residential streets.
If you've got the time, zig and zag your way through this beautiful, quiet oasis in the middle of DC. You'll see handfuls of others doing the same.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nicole
Available for hire
I’m Nicole, and I've been based in Washington, D.C., for the past 10 years. My time here has seeded my love for travel and exploration. Whether it’s wandering through local art galleries, savoring new culinary experiences, or immersing myself in the unique culture of each destination, I believe that every place has a story to tell, and I’m here to help you discover it.
One of my favorite ways to experience a new city is on foot. There’s something special about strolling through a neighborhood, stumbling upon hidden gems, and truly soaking in the essence of a place. My deep appreciation for art, culture, and food often makes me the go-to friend for restaurant recommendations, museum visits, and travel planning tips.
While I'm currently a full-time Interior Architect - I take great joy in helping others plan their perfect trips. My insider knowledge of D.C. and my travel experiences ensure that I can offer personalized recommendations tailored to your trip needs and interests. Whether you’re looking for a unique dining spot, a neighborhood guide, or simply want some travel advice for exploring D.C., I’m here to make your journey unforgettable!
