Junction Bistro Bar and Bakery
238 Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“This neighborhood fixture in DC blends casual bistro vibes with a full-service bakery, making it equally suited for lingering over coffee and pastries or grabbing a substantial breakfast before work. The counter-service setup keeps things informal and efficient, while their well-executed mixed drinks and consistently solid food offerings (despite occasionally ambitious nachos) have earned it genuine loyalty as a local happy hour and meeting spot. If you're seeking traditional coffee drinks paired with genuine neighborhood character and an extensive menu, this is the kind of place that rewards a visit.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late.

There isn’t table service - you order and pay at the cashier and then you get a number stand and they bring the food out to you. I wish they had the toast tab QR code system so that you don’t have to disrupt your conversation to go to the cashier and order another drink, etc. I…
