"Rose Ave Bakery is our go-to spot for, well, anything you get at a bakery or coffee shop. The Asian-owned cafe opens at 8am most days, if you want to swing by for a breakfast of crab rangoon tarts and ube iced coffee. Or come before 4pm for an after-zoo snack of black sesame donuts and matcha chocolate chip cookies. There’s plenty of space to sit and eat, though it does tend to get busy with the remote-work crowd during the week, so walk over to Rock Creek Park around the corner if you need a secondary option.
