    Biscuit with my toppings (blanched spinach, kewpie, avocado, banana peppers.
    David T.

    The bottom line: great local, layered, buttery biscuits at a sometimes-worth-the-splurge steepish price. I have bought these biscuits about a dozen times, including for work and special events and the crispy carnitas or breakfast sandwiches I make with them are always a hit! The service is fast and friendly, and the buttery goodness is so fun to peel into flakes to eat. I've had their sandwiches once or twice, but prefer my home variations with their biscuits. I will definitely be back as long as they are around.

    Theeeeee best biscuit that I have ever had!

    District Biscuit Company delivers a breakfast platter (Ultimate Breakfast) that easily earns its place in the DMV brunch rotation. The biscuits are the true standout--impossibly tender, buttery, and clearly made with care. Paired with thick-cut, meaty bacon cooked just right, this plate leans heavily into comfort done well. The hash browns didn't quite rise to the same level--serviceable, but not particularly memorable. That said, they're a small footnote in an otherwise satisfying and well-executed meal. Overall, a strong showing for classic Southern-inspired breakfast, and absolutely worth the visit for those biscuits alone. Oooooh...don't forget to grab the beignets on the way out!! A nice outer layer and equally tender on the inside! Side note: there are dipping sauces listed on the menu with the beignets but they are not included in the price.

    Biscuits always sound good to me, ergo, I recently paid a visit to District Biscuit. I came around 1pm on a weekday. There's only five parking slots, but I snagged one of them. District Biscuit was busy with almost all the tables taken. You can order one of the many biscuits or biscuit sandwiches from the cashier or use the kiosk next to the cash register. The interior ambience is modern but sparse. I ordered the Prosciutto Biscuit. My order was filled quickly. Service was fine. First off, the biscuit itself was top-notch, both for flavor and texture. Though for the price (currently $9.39), it was a bit svelte. I was disappointed that there was just one slice of prosciutto. The idea of fig jam on the biscuit sounded tempting, but in reality there was too much jam and the jam was a bit sour. Still, overall, this was a good biscuit sandwich. As I said, biscuits always sound appealing to me, so I will likely be back.

    I want to start by saying that I am not a biscuit fan, but I am 100% a District Biscuit fan! This place was so cute and relaxing to be in. The large windows brought in beautiful natural light, and I happened to be here the week after a major cold front, so it was snowy outside. It felt incredibly cozy and lovely to have breakfast here. The cashier was very kind and recommended the classic biscuit with honey butter. I also ordered a kids' French toast. The classic biscuit is absolutely the way to go. I don't generally like biscuits because they tend to be dry, but District Biscuits are not that at all. The outside was nicely flaky, while the inside was warm and moist. It tasted amazing even without the honey butter, but the honey butter took it to another level. I honestly could have eaten one more. The French toast biscuit was good but a bit too oily for my liking. I believe the entire thing is deep-fried. It still had good flavor, just slightly greasy. I also had an Americano, which was solid. I will definitely be paying a visit here whenever I get a chance to be in Alexandria or DC again.

    The Ultimate Breakfast

    UberEats review Where has this place been all my life? I decided to order it through UberEats and I'm truly glad that I did. I ordered the ultimate breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs (you can have it prepared your way) 2 sausages (I selected chicken) 2 hash brown, and a biscuit. Lean in when I say this, everything was DELICIOUS!!!! Culinary perfection! The eggs were scrambled soft and had a buttery flavor. The sausage were beyond tasty, the hash brown were scrumptious, and the biscuit...the biscuit was to die for! I cannot wait to order again or even visit this place in person. If this was the standard they set on UberEats, it's worth my support again.

    This place has a killer breakfast egg biscuit sandwich. It comes with Hollandaise sauce which I would order on the side.This sounds crazy but the biscuits have a perfect texture with the egg and cheese. The sandwich is not dry at all. Staff can become very busy but seem very dedicated. The ambiance is fine, but the parking is very very limited and it is easy to miss the restaurant entirely.

    Chicken Biscuit Sandwich

    The location was a little confusing to get too if you're not familiar with the area, I almost missed it with all the other stores around. Upon arrival, the staff was helpful and gave me recommendations on what to order. I ended up getting the chicken biscuit with hot honey, side of honey butter and side of gravy. Everything was such a let down. The chicken wasn't a true flaky fried chicken, the hot honey tasted like Asian sweet chili sauce and the gravy lacked meat and flavor. I wouldn't recommend. Go to Preservation Biscuits Company instead, they're amazing!

    Chicken & Biscuit Waffles

    Decided to meet a friend here, this place has been on my list. I got the chicken and waffle option, it was quite good but all the food seems quite dense. Filled me up for the rest of the day! Place has some seating but I could see how it could get crowded real fast. The food comes out in to-go boxes, even if you are dining in. I wish they had a compost option since they serve their meals in compostable boxes. I may be back here again since I live in the area but I can't go too often, this stuff is dangerously good!

    The star of the show!

    I finally had a chance to try breakfast from here via Grubhub and I hope to go in person sometime soon! I ordered the ultimate breakfast with a side of gravy. They packaged everything so well. Everything was great, including their name sake, the biscuit. My only regret and disappointment was the lack of utensils with my order despite marking it off and not ordering an extra biscuit. I highly recommend trying them out if you haven't already!

    Beginning with ordering through getting our food I'm not sure one employee spoke to us. Ordering was done via a touch screen; however, employees were on the other side of the counter. When our order was ready my name was called out and I picked up the food. Again not a word spoken to me. I saw three to four employees throughout our visit and not one single word spoken to us. Regarding the food: great, the Biscuit was sturdy enough to handle the chicken and honey; however, soft enough to make you want another. Tomato Soup was outstanding as well as the Grille Cheese Biscuit. Maybe it was just a bad morning for the staff. It is unfortunate that I remember the employees more than the food, because the food should bring you back.

    I am proud to say I've had the biscuits of my life here at this establishment . The biscuits are fluffy, moist and buttery and you can really tell that it's made freshly in house. I can't believe how delicious the biscuit waffles & biscuit French toast was! Like it's such a genius creation for sure. The chicken biscuit was oozing with honey and with perfectly fried chicken adorned on a hot buttery biscuit! I absolutely can't wait to come again. Not to mention, the service was FAST and the coffee---robust, flavorful and delicious. It's a small quaint space, I'd recommend parking on the street if you're afraid of a small parking lot. Definitely coming again---and again.

    The Ultimate Breakfast with fried chicken
    Shay S.

    Was trying to past time before heading to the mall with my daughter. I told her to google places for breakfast and let's choose somewhere we've never been. District Biscuit was on the list and I absolutely LOVE biscuits! So why not... ... so the restaurant is one that I actually seen before but never really noticed as I've been to the international market and Popeyes across the street many times. But it looks like a little farm house which I thought was cute. We walked in, the inside was nice and clean, and the staff spoke immediately. There was a kiosk in the front that my daughter and I chose to use instead of the cashier since it was our first time and didn't want to hold up any potential line. She went with the Ultimate breakfast which includes a biscuit and two hash browns. She went with scrambled eggs/cheese and chicken sausage as her additions. I wanted to try the waffle biscuits but saw that it was almost as much as the ultimate breakfast with nothing included. I didn't like that so I went with the ultimate breakfast as well with scrambled eggs without cheese and fried chicken. I also ordered some biscuit beignets with cinnamon sugar. The biscuits were flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. They were decent. My daughter and I both didn't care for our meals and felt it was a waste of money. The beignets were probably the best thing we ordered. I would go back for the biscuits and beignets but I will not be ordering any food in the future. We also were disappointed the biscuits didn't come with anything. No honey butter or jelly and if we wanted it, it would be extra. We also went across the street to McDonald's for drinks as a can sprite was $2.49 and a small sweet tea was $3.50. That was excessive to me.

    The Ultimate with sausage and hashbrowns!!
    Bill T.

    Totally awesome from start to finish. Location and parking, no issues. Wifey and I got influenced by a FAM to check this place out. Low and behold, we had business in Alexandria and she said let's do it! I knew it was 5 stars by the greetings we received entering the establishment. We both ordered the Ultimate and here's the trick on that breakfast, you actually get a scrumptious biscuit and sausage patty for later and Wifey wanted me to reiterate how good the chicken sausage patty is. We opted for the hashbrowns, however our source said the grits are excellent as well! If you are ever in the Del Ray area, check this place out, highly recommended!

    Delicate Hot Chocolate…read more I have long been an admirer of fine hot chocolate. Traditionally, I would visit Starbucks or a contemporary coffeehouse, only to receive what often felt like mocha syrup blended with steamed milk--pleasant, perhaps, but rarely memorable. This morning marked my first visit to Tatte Bakery & Café in Old Town Alexandria where the hot chocolate proved to be an unexpected delight. The associate explained that it was prepared with semisweet chocolate and warm milk. Intrigued, I ordered a small and chose to enjoy it outdoors. The price was refreshingly reasonable, while the bakery's bright interior and refined ambiance created an inviting first impression. My drink arrived within approximately five minutes, presented elegantly in a cup and saucer. The temperature was perfectly warm--comforting without being excessively hot--and the overall presentation was quietly sophisticated but has room for improvement. Then came the taste.... The texture was exceptionally silky and smooth, with no grainy residue, excessive sweetness, or bitter aftertaste. It was rich without being heavy and indulgent without becoming overwhelming. Even better, it left behind no awkward crown of foam. I have enjoyed hot chocolate in Sicily, where the experience was quite literally a cup of melted chocolate--decadent, dense, and almost dessert-like. Tatte's interpretation was more delicate and restrained, yet equally satisfying in its own way. Tatte has now earned first place in my personal ranking. There is, however, still an opportunity to elevate the service experience. A cloth napkin and small spoon presented alongside the drink would add a more polished touch, while a subtle soupçon of finely shaved chocolate would enhance both the visual presentation and the final sip. Overall, I award Tatte's hot chocolate an A-. I look forward to seeing whether it can achieve an even higher distinction upon my next visit.

    Let's face it. I like Tatte a latte!…read more Beautiful pastry case, inviting treats, Parisian-style cafe. It's a bit inconvenient that you pay at the counter but pick up hot drinks at the bar. When it's crowded you can barely hear your name. We stopped in the late afternoon and it was cool and empty. I had a delicious matcha latte and some lovely baked treat. Thanks a latte, Tatte!

I really thought they were mainly just coffee and pastries but I was wrong. I wish I would have took a picture of the menu because they had soups, sandwiches, pastries, coffee, other food items available. I was really surprised as I just had came from across the street since it was so cold I wanted something to warm me up. So I really didn't know what I wanted to try so I just decided on a latte and pistachio croissant which I have gotten 2-of those croissants because they were so good and delicious! The coffee was a little basic so nothing to run home to tell mama about but it was warmed me up. Very nice inside plenty of seeing for if you want to enjoy your food inside.

The pastries were not heated up when served. Even after requesting them to be warmed, they still were not heated properly, which took away from the overall experience.

Overall, it's a lovely place to sit and enjoy the ambiance, but I do wish there was more attention to detail when it comes to serving the food as expected.

    Eh, I found this place to be just okay…read more The inside is small with some neon lights. Late on a Saturday night, there's a mix of regular folks, parents with small children getting a weekend treat, and folks with the munchies who just *have* to have a cookie. Biggest complaint - there are several TV screens, but only one has pricing, one has drinks, and the other was just random shots of stuff they sometimes have. I wish one of them had "current cookie offerings" (it rotates) because otherwise, you have to wait until you get to the front of the line to see what there is, and then people are waiting for you to make up your mind. It just added pressure to what is supposed to be an enjoyable cookie experience. It's not a cheap place (it's a bougie dessert place in NoVa; what do you expect?), but the monster cookies are large and filling and easy to share. We got a half dozen for our family of 5 and that was plenty. We even got an Oat Milk brown sugar tea - it was fine. The whole place is vegan, which does add to the price point, but if that matters to you, this is a good place to get your cookie on. That said, I don't know if it was the lack of egg, or that the Monsters were under-baked, but I found those large cookies just heavy. The two I will vouch for were the chocolate chip (classic, can't beat it), and the cinnamon roll - I kept coming back to that one. The rest were pretty meh. Service was okay. We had to wait for the next batch of chocolate chip cookies to come out of the oven. I get it, though it took longer than estimated. The weird part was, in the whole time we were sitting waiting (and everyone else had ordered), the clerk handed me my half dozen box and I had to remind her of our drink. Sweet, but spacey. In the end, if you like fancy cookies and/or vegan sweet treats, you might want to give this place a try. Otherwise, you can get plenty of other desserts along King Street.

So Sunday morning, I pulled up to Ben'YaYs with the whole crew ready to see what the hype was about. When we walked in, there were already a few people inside, but it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. The young lady working the register was absolutely wonderful. She was patient, attentive, and even let my son take over the ordering process when he started telling her exactly what our family wanted. One thing I really appreciated was her recommendation when I started ordering multiple individual orders of beignets. She suggested that we get a box instead, which was actually the better deal and saved me some money. Listen, I love when somebody helps me spend less money without me having to ask! We went with a box of the original beignets plus two orders of the cinnamon sugar beignets. Since we got the box, we also got three dipping sauces. And if you have kids under 10, you already know that anything they can dip is automatically more exciting. Our order came out pretty quickly, and let me just say... THESE BEIGNETS WERE GOOD. Like, everybody was already talking about coming back before we had even finished eating. Four of the five people with me had never had a beignet before, so they had nothing to compare them to. But I've had beignets in New Orleans AND locally, and I can confidently say these held their own. Light, delicious, covered in that glorious powdered sugar, and the cinnamon sugar ones were a fun addition. The front area is on the smaller side, but thankfully there's a back seating area where you can actually sit down and enjoy your food. That made a big difference with my family. And let's talk parking because this is important! Street parking is pretty sparse, especially on a Sunday during church hours. Thankfully, there's paid parking behind the restaurant. I paid about $3, which was well worth not driving around the block 17 times looking for a spot. Would I come back? Absolutely. The kids are already asking when we're going again, and honestly, I'm not mad about it.
