There have always been restaurants that specialized in breakfast dishes. Think IHOP or The Original Pancake House back in the 1950s or 1960s.
But in recent years, we’ve seen a new breed of restaurant putting the focus on brunch-style menus – complete with fancy cocktails – and limiting their hours to morning and early afternoon.
In Northern Virginia, we have multiple First Watch restaurants, Baker’s Crust in Ashburn, a Toastique coming to Reston, and a new brand called Another Broken Egg headed to Brambleton. Brunch is becoming ubiquitous.
One of the first local examples of this trend is the Famous Toastery restaurant in Ashburn’s Loudoun Station center off Shellhorn Road.
Ashburn Magazine spoke with Famous Toastery owner Angela Goodman about this brunch-centric business model.
