Best Buns Bakery
This Shirlington baking emporium provides all of the bread for the Great American Restaurants family of restaurants, including Carlyle next door, as well as NoVa favorites Coastal Flats, Sweetwater Tavern and Artie’s (among others). Everything in the Best Buns repertoire is baked on-site daily, including its ever-popular two-raisin-pecan, chocolate-cherry bread and baguettes. Christmastime also brings a traditional stollen and a panettone made with brioche dough. Bonus: they bake up homemade dog biscuits, too.
