Fossette Focacceria
1309 5th St NE, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Union Market, this Italian-leaning spot crafts focaccia sandwiches that inspire real devotion, with creative flavor combinations like pistachio crème that elevate simple ingredients into something memorable. The bread itself is the star—crispy outside, pillowy within—and regulars swear by asking for it toasted to deepen those already impressive flavors. It's perfect for a quick but thoughtful lunch, especially if you arrive later in the day when their unique personality really shines.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu. Open late.
