Best Breakfast Spots in Northern Virginia (Alexandria, Arlington, Springfield, Occoquan)
Our family enjoys making breakfast but sometimes we just want to treat ourselves to a nice breakfast without having to clean the dishes afterwards! Certainly, breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day (the word breakfast means breaking the fast of the prior night). Therefore, it’s only proper to have a good breakfast or brunch to start your day off right. Here are some of our favorites in Northern Virginia, in no particular order.
