Pluma By Bluebird Bakery
391 Morse St NE, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“This minimalist DC spot excels at what it does best: buttery, flaky croissants and pastries made fresh in-house, paired with solid espresso drinks that shine brightest in traditional preparations like cappuccinos. The intimate space has charm but can feel cramped during busy hours, and service moves at a leisurely pace, so this is better suited for a quick grab-and-go than a lingering sit-down—grab a ham and cheese croissant, skip the hot prepared food, and enjoy it with a well-pulled shot.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Parking available.

Free water no free WiFi. Street parking at the front but not a lot. Take cards and Apple Pay. Take in kind Not much of bakery options Place is not big for in store seating
Saturday around noon, bread and croissants are ok. Coffee unremarkable, service 100% unfriendly, service very slow (we waited even longer because they forgot my dish). I ordered folded egg, it was very salty, as well as the sad side Cesar salad. The A/C in minimum levels during…
Pluma has some seriously delicious croissants! wonderfully flaky, especially the ham and cheese, and the chicken Caesar Sammy was a hit. My cappuccino was good too, though not exceptional. Unfortunately, the noise level was overwhelming—it was way too loud and packed with…
