"Michelin-rated Albi’s sibling Levantine cafe debuted standalone digs in Georgetown to go along with the Navy Yard original. French patisserie classics with Arabic flavors in morning sweets such as labneh croissants dusted in za’atar or an olive oil basbousa (Lebanese semolina cake). Owner Michael Rafidi also makes sfeeha (meat pies) for the morning crowd. Hours start at 8 a.m., and its Navy Yard locale is only open on weekends." - Tierney Plumb, Tim Ebner
