Fort Washington Bakery & Deli
8.2
Fort Washington Bakery & Deli is a narrow counter bakery where bagels, croissants, and breakfast sandwiches run alongside Mexican-style tortas and strong coffee. It’s the kind of all-day neighborhood spot people hit for a bacon-egg-and-cheese at 7am or a chicken torta and pastry to-go later.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bacon egg and cheese on a roll, Chicken torta, Chocolate croissant
