Eclairons

Eclairons is a beautiful new café in Old Town Alexandria, and I’m so glad they opened here. The coffee is excellent, and my breakfast bagel sandwich with tomato and egg was the perfect start to the day. The éclairs and pastries are absolutely delicious and stunning to look at — truly works of art. They offer a great variety including breakfast burritos, croissants, sandwiches, quiches, brownies, and cookies. Their Valentine’s desserts are adorable, whether you’re celebrating with one person or a crowd. My favorite item is the almond banana bread — light, fluffy, and unbelievably good, like banana bread meets an amaretto cookie. The space is warm and welcoming with beautiful wood, greenery, and a cool mural by the entrance. Make sure to walk around the full pastry display so you don’t mis

Eclairons in Old Town?! Amazing!!! I’ve been to their other location many times and it never disappoints…same incredible coffee, pastries, food, and welcoming vibe. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Can’t wait to visit again when I’m back in town!

Kid and adult approved 👍 We went a week after opening, on a very busy Saturday morning around 10am. They were well-stocked for the most part and the line was moving along.

They maintained the old Firehook Bakery layout but updated everything. The bathrooms were a huge (and welcome) update. A couple of high chairs also available, as well as a ramp at the e

I had such a great experience at this pastry and coffee shop! The moment I walked in, the place smelled amazing—fresh pastries and rich coffee. Everything looked beautiful in the display case, and it was honestly hard to choose because it all looked so good. The pastry I ordered was perfectly fresh, and full of flavor, and the coffee paired with it perfectly. The croissants are also so flaky and buttery, best I’ve ever had. You can really tell they care about quality and the little details. The staff were also super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. If you love great coffee and delicious pastries, this place is definitely worth stopping by. I’ll absolutely be coming back!

A bright, well appointed coffee shop and bakery. Offering many fine pastries and quality coffees.
