Bread Alley - Calumet-Norvelt

It’s worth the transfer from the Yellow to the Red line to get here from Alexandria. The bread is that good! It’s tiny inside, so the line usually forms in the alley outside.

Really good bread and butter. Bread had a crunchy thin crust, soft pillowy insides. And cute location. I would definitely go out of my way from baltimore just to come back here again. Also very decent priced bread.

The selection is limited, but their breads are incredible. The cranberry walnut bread is the same bread found at le diplomate. My favorite bread is the black sesame harissa. Expect to wait in line. Only about three people fit in the store at a time, but it’s worth it.

The best ham and cheese croissant in DC. Crispy, not oily, and crisped cheese hanging out. Quality ham too.The loaves are very crusty but the inside of the bread is perfectly moist and soft. Really quality bread. We take a loaf to every brunch event we attend and all the flavors are a hit.It’s in an alley.
