It's not exactly "upper NW", being east of the park, but usually worth a detour.

Yes. Le Caprice has croissants that French people go buy.

Or bread and chocolate. It's on Conn, but is a bit north of military...

Fire hook is GREAT !

Their stuff is very good but they source it from other local shops, and its pretty expensive. Marvelous Market and Firehook are good suggestions. Yes to Pumpernickels if you only want Bagels, although you could hop north on thesame block to. Bread and chocolate for good muffins and croissants. Also, Whole Foods has decent stuff, and a variety..

Paul or le pain quotidien?

We will try Brookville another time - need something that opens early.

Please keep the recommendations coming!

Pumpernickles at Connecticut and just N of Military.

^chocolate croissants

I'm telling my secret but Brookville Market has fresh warm croissants. They are so good.

Firehook Bakery in Cleveland Park. Just a block below Porter on Connecticut.

Does Broad Branch Market have anything?

Marvelous Market at CT and Nebraska?

I want to bring a selection of muffins / bagels for the early care staff at my child's school.

I will pick up a Joe to Go at Starbucks - but need a place to get some breakfast treats. I am not a huge fan of Panera or Starbucks for breakfast- any places open early that I can swing by?

I will consider from North Capitol to CT avenue
North of Porter
South of Military / Missouri (but would go a little North if someone tells me it is worth it)
