Junction Bakery & Bistro

This was a quaint little spot to grab breakfast on a Monday morning. It was nice to sit down and really relax while I had a nice little breakfast sandwich. It was a bit pricey, but that's not really a factor for me because everything in this area basically is. They have condiments like ketchup and salt and pepper in a little shelf area to the right of where you order.The hash browns were made with peppers and they were nice and crispy. I added a little ketchup to them and enjoyed it. The breakfast sandwich had a nice egg and the bacon was very crispy as well. I would recommend this place again.

I love bringing my toddler to Junction because of the tables on their patio. The space inside is a little tight so we haven't been since the weather got too cold to sit outside. However, I still stop by whenever I'm close by because I'm obsessed with their crookie (croissant and cookie). Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of their coffee drinks; they all taste sour to my palate. The food is consistently delicious and you can't go wrong with any of the food selection!

Come. Here. For. Cocktails. I'm obsessed with Autumn in general and they definitely did Fall flavors right. My friends and I got Autumn in the tropics (this one was definitely the favorite amongst all of us), four crazy cat ladies (our least favorite), fall sangria, espresso martini and the fall gala. They were all so pretty and the bartender certainly had cool tricks to show while making them. The service is top-notch as the servers continuously asked if we needed anything and took away finished dishes in a timely manner. The menu itself has so much variety that there's definitely something for everyone. Our favorite was the pot roast as the meat was oh so tender.

Super cute spot for some yummy casual bites! I had a breakfast sandwich thingy but on a super yummy biscuit. It came with sausage but I asked for bacon! It was super yummy and also came with potatoes! I had orange juice and also a hot caramel latte which was sooooooooooooooo good! I would definitely go back for the latte and try something else on the menu. That French toast was calling me but I couldn't do it - next time! Great customer service too!!

First time. I'd go again. Food was good and nice menu. Area expansion will be nice as well.

Junction Bakery and Cafe offers an inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual catch-up or a quiet coffee break. The range of baked goods, including pastries and sandwiches, is varied and generally enjoyable, though nothing particularly stands out as exceptional. The coffee is good but doesn't quite reach the level of greatness found at some other local spots. Service can be inconsistent; on some occasions, the staff are friendly and prompt, while other times, they seem a bit disorganized and slow. This variability can affect the overall experience. Prices are fair for the area, but considering the occasional lapses in service and the average quality of the offerings, the value might not always be compelling. Overall, Junction Bakery and Cafe is a decent choice for a low-key outing, but there are definitely areas for improvement that could make it a more memorable destination.

I heard good things about Junction Bakery and was happy to see it was in my area. The bakery has soemthing for everyone. They even have a full menu with other sweet and savory dishes. I came in just for the Cruffin on this visit but will be back to check out their menu.The Alexandria location has added some outdoor seating with a semi covered patio. When I came they were completing the renovations.The Cruffin was perfectly crispy on the outside and had a sweet but not overpowering filling on the inside. Hands down amazing treat. The baked goods are made fresh daily and are well worth the extra calories.

I've been here once before Covid but it has been so long and I wanted to return. We decided to come for Saturday brunch. We had our dog with us so we sat outside and did the QR code ordering. The food came out very fast and was overall delicious! We had the chicken chorizo burrito and the huervos rancheros, and also got a cheddar biscuit. I expected the biscuit to be warm; it was cold, so we just took it home and will heat up later. I want to return for dinner and sit at their new cocktail bar area!

This place is a hidden gem for brunch in Alexandria. Most places have absurd wait times, at Junction we were seated immediately in the back area bar. The food was artisanal and so fresh. And, best of all, the Bloody Maries were top notch. I consider myself a Bloody connoisseur (born and raised in Wisconsin - we know good Bloodies.) The mix is fresh and not soupy thick. Perfect bit of hair of the dog. Oh, and the service was wonderful. The wait staff and bartender were kind and we had great conversation. That contributed to the overall ambience - not a loud, bustling brunch spot - but a chill bakery with good food and drinks.

We really like coming to this neighborhood bakery, the food is great and the service is quick. The only reason for the four stars is we wish they had more gluten free options and we feel like the prices are a bit steep. This bakery is always busy, so expect it to be loud and crowded.
