A Perfect Morning in Germantown: Our Favorite Local Spots
Germantown is home to so many amazing small businesses, which is part of why we love this neighborhood so much. There’s something for everyone here, but if you asked us to plan our version of a perfect morning in Germantown, this is how we’d spend it.
Of course, this isn't an exhaustive list, but rather a handful of our favorite spots in our immediate little square, from coffee and breakfast, to shopping and a little time to recharge.
Start with coffee at Juniper & Co. Coffee & Tea.
All great mornings start with a good coffee, and you guessed it: we'd start ours at Juniper & Co Coffee & Tea. We're always coming up with fun seasonal specials to try, but if you're looking for a year-round favorite, try the Nana Bread Latte. It's made with our house made banana bread syrup, paired with espresso, milk of your choice, and topped with cinnamon, and it's a customer favorite for a reason.
Grab a bite for breakfast.
Once you've got your coffee in hand, it's time for breakfast. We'd recommend Resting Burrito Face, which is just across the street from Juniper & Co. They're serving up some of the best breakfast burritos you'll ever have. We especially love the Imposter (their vegan option, which includes tots, BE Hive vegan chorizo, and beans).
Looking for other options? Fancy Sandy's is another nearby spot for breakfast sandwiches. Pro-tip: On Thursdays, everything is half off. It's too good of a deal to pass up! And if it's a bit later in the day, grab lunch at Little Hats Italian Market. Everything is fantastic, but we love a classic caprese sandwich or their pesto pasta salad.
Spend some time shopping.
Now that our stomachs are full, it's time to go shopping. Our square has some incredible spots, so prepare to spend some time perusing the shops.
Bits and Pieces Antique Boutique is our all-time favorite for vintage, handmade, and thoughtfully sourced boutique items. With over 30 vendors, you're sure to find a one-of-a-kind treasure. They even host outdoor markets each month when the weather is nice, featuring even more local vendors and artists.
The Golden Slipper is the cutest boutique, full of seasonal decor, knick-knacks, and made-in-store candles. They also have sister businesses on the block, including Wonderland and Juni Parfum, coming soon.
Abendego is a locally owned boutique that is always up to date on the latest fashions. It’s a great place to browse if you’re looking to add something new to your wardrobe.
Darlin' Lingerie is an iconic speakeasy-inspired lingerie experience that offers professional fittings, lingerie styling, and private parties. They've even been featured in Vogue!
And just around the corner, Blue Smoke is a jewelry and gift shop, offering custom permanent jewelry, charm bar experiences, and even jewelry repair!
End with a little zen.
To round out our morning, we'd reconnect with our zen at Heart of Wisdom Yoga. They offer unheated yoga classes with great teachers, a great mission, and most importantly, great yoga. It's the perfect way to end a busy morning and leave you feeling refreshed.
