Washington, DC has surprisingly few bakeries. Firehook is one of them. They have several locations in town (and in Virginia). They are coffee shops and lunch spots in addition to bakeries. The locations are generally comfortable, although not quite cozy, places to read or chat.
The sandwiches and pre-made salads are pretty good. I had an especially delicious orzo pasta salad in a lemon vinaigrette, at a bargain price to boot.
Mostly though, I go for the sugary goodies. The decadent, gooey, chocolate raspberry cake is one of my favorites. Although it can be inconsistent at times, it's one of the only bakeries in town and definitely beats a Safeway cake (although maybe not a Whole Foods one).
