Bread & Brew
Healthy Dining Out at Bread & Brew
by Lance Breger
The famous Muppet, Kermit The Frog once said, ‘it ain’t easy being GREEN,’ but he obviously never went to Bread & Brew catering, café, and coffee house located South of Dupont Circle. It is here where they make being GREEN easy and eating GREEN…so delicious that Miss Piggy would squeal!
This 6-month-old establishment located on 20th near N Street can only be described as simple, neighborhoody, and real – real good. Their super chill-axed (chill & relaxed) atmosphere makes it a great ‘pop in anytime’ option for local health conscious diners. Their downstairs café and bar has a comfortable, fun vibe with flat screens and American music, but it’s the food, staff, and banter with fellow diners that display the true beauty and spirit of Bread & Brew.
You just can’t help but to be impressed with their dedication to the health of both the customer and the planet. Vegan and vegetarian food and drink menu options, biodegradable plates, utensils, napkins, cups, and to-go packaging, as well as locally-supplied produce, dairy, meat, and eggs!
Bread & Brew has some amazing drinks to sip this summer, but you have to be careful to ‘not drink your calories’ when eating for weight loss. No worries though, you can improve the caloric content by making your drinks ‘virgin’ without sacrificing the taste! They had no problem making my homemade raspberry and rosemary concoction lighter for me.
Who said pizza can’t be healthy!? The Breakfast Pizza was perfectly portioned, had heart-healthy avocado, fibrous beans, low-calorie salsa, and the lightest amount of local cheese.
Other restaurants sink their tuna salad sandwich by soaking it in mayo, but that’s completely opposite with Bread & Brew sandwiches. Not only will your tuna be dry roasted, but served on dark, whole grain bread. Hurray!
No matter what you want, breakfast or dinner; no matter what you are, vegan or carnivore, Bread & Brew will have something special for you. You are certain to enjoy this dining experience - ã la santé!
