This cool little spot is a fantastic option, especially since there aren't many dining choices near the Carefirst Arena. They offer an all-day breakfast, salads, sandwiches, lunch specials, delicious pastries, and a variety of healthy juices and espresso, ensuring you'll find something to satisfy your cravings. My French toast, scrambled egg, and coffee were on point, and don't forget to treat yourself to their ice cream. They're open Monday from 8am to 1 pm, Tuesday to Saturday from 8am to 4pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm. A special shoutout to Renee for her great menu options and excellent customer service. With a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, you'll feel right at home ordering your food to go. It's a must-visit if you're looking for a chill place to grab some good food!

The smoothies taste good and the staff will add in options and are nice about making it "custom". The downside, they only have some ingredients seasonally :( so some smoothies you have to sub something else in or get a different smoothie all together.

There's only 3 places at the moment to eat at Tanger do they get very busy!

Not to mention, it felt so fairly-priced compared to most places in Old Town! We spent about $50 between the two of us, which included a 20% tip on our bill. Hard to beat in this area honestly, especially given the quality of the food and service. I look forward to coming back and am so glad to finally have an answer to "where do you recommend going for brunch in Old Town?" -- a question that I've historically struggled with when people asked!

We stopped into HomeGrown on King Street for breakfast while visiting Alexandria. First impressions…read morewere very positive--the restaurant is clean, modern, and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the menu had several items that sounded interesting. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the setting. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, which came with eggs and breakfast potatoes. The meal itself was good, and I liked that the eggs were included since that's not always the case with biscuits and gravy. I also ordered a Bloody Mary that was advertised on the menu as being garnished with bacon. When it arrived, there was no bacon, and I was told they were out. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to know before ordering. The biggest issue was service timing. There were four of us dining together, and three meals arrived while the fourth entrée didn't show up for about ten more minutes. Since nobody wanted to eat while one person sat without food, our meals cooled off while we waited. Ironically, the delayed meal was a BLT--which did have bacon on it. I finished my first Bloody Mary and ordered a second. After waiting 15-20 minutes with no drink arriving, our check was brought to the table and I ended up canceling it. My wife's meal was the biggest disappointment. It was served with corn chips that were extremely stale, which really hurt the overall dish. HomeGrown has a lot of potential. The atmosphere is great, the staff was pleasant, and parts of the meal were enjoyable. However, between the service delays, missing menu items, stale chips, and drink issues, there is definitely room for improvement.

I ordered the Tuscan Kale wrap (kale, sweet potatoes, quinoa, broccoli, chickpeas, onions, basil pesto, hummus, cayenne, tortilla) in a gluten-free wrap, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful wraps I've ever had! The ingredients tasted super savory and fresh. I also tried the Coffee Date smoothie (cold brew coffee, almond milk, banana, peanut butter, raw cacao, dates), and it was delicious. The atmosphere is cute, clean, and trendy, with a really welcoming feel. It's small with limited seating, but it wasn't overcrowded at all. I went with a group of three and we sat outside--perfect setup for a warm day with shaded seating and umbrellas. Inside, there were people working on laptops, so it definitely seems like a great spot to hang out or work remotely. Service was quick, warm, and friendly. Overall, such a great find. I'd absolutely come back.

Everyone's taste is different, so if you love it, I get it! It's super chill, and there's plenty of space to enjoy yourself!

Not sure what that is due to (money, time, service, etc.), but makes me sad when it happens!
