Huh. I think they supply the baked goods to the Swing's "tasting room" just down the street on Monroe. I'm surprised that they don't serve Swing's...

And, I believe, Bagel Uprising will be moving into the space.

Could it be an outpost on the Bosnia-ish restaurant of the same name also located on Route 1 in Alexandria (Hybla Valley area)?

We're fans of the Toltecos in Alexandria. We bring the kids. Food is inexpensive, flavorful and fresh. Big, cold Pacifico drafts. I particularly like the cochinita pibil. They have a house hot sauce that is great, too. The whole place is much better than Los Tios in Del Ray, where most of our friends go.

They have a nice cocktail program. Classics like aviations and blood and sand for less than $12 (though I haven't been in probably a year).

Its small and open/closed times are a bit awkward, but the sandwich that I had the other day - the "Giorgio" - was definitely tasty. Certainly as good as Market 2 Market in Del Ray, in terms of locally comparable italian-style sandwiches. I do think the bread is probably better than M2M, which can get a bit soggy when taking it to go. Good, fresh ingredients and the sandwich was big enough to be filling, but not overstuffed to make it impossible to eat. I think the husband/wife owners were on premises when I was there - they were friendly and enthusiastic. I'll be back.

We were here for lunch a few weeks ago. In this genre, I prefer Roti, but can't really articulate why. But for a quick, relatively cheap lunch with the kids, I give Chickpea a B+.

My wife and I ate here on Saturday night. I will echo the comments above about the food being delicious and the service being spectacular. One thing I'd note, however, is that in my opinion the portions are small. I know this is a fancy-schmancy place and I'm not expecting Bucco di Beppo-sized portions. However, I ordered the pigs feet and sweetbreads (both excellent, particularly the pigs feet) and we split dessert and I left hungry. A bit frustrating given the cost, especially because we were steered away from the roast chicken as being too much food.

Thanks, all. I found some Stumptown at St. Elmo's in Del Ray. It was good, but holy moly, was it filled with caffeine.

Where can I get some? Preferably I'm NoVa. Thanks!

Went tonight. My wife and I thought the crack pie tasted like chicken/turkey broth. Anybody else?

Looking for a good version of cheese fries in Alexandria or Arlington. Thoughts?

At Schneiders now. They say it's no longer available. Yes, making Singapore Slings

Thanks, Mark. Unfortunately, I need it today.

Anybody know where I can find a bottle? I know Calvert Woodley may carry but am hoping to find someplace closer to the office - Farragut area. Thanks!

We visited on Monday and had a nice experience. Donuts were definitely tasty "“ we got sugar/cinnamon, blueberry cake and chocolate frosted "“ but not life-changing. As for the coffee, it's good, in my opinion. I'm not a coffee purist, but the "pour over" that I had was from Guatemala (or was it Ethiopia or Brazil? Who cares?) and it tasted good to me. Particularly when paired with donuts. Staff were happy and helpful. A fun place to take the kids, who gawked at the donuts and the wacky decorations, and left with chocolate smeared on their smiling faces.

Sorry that I'm just seeing this thread. GWAR was never my favorite, though I did enjoy "Scumdogs" back in the day. This is a tough loss. While living in Richmond almost 15 years ago, I ran into Brockie in the produce section of Kroger in Carytown. I said, "Whats up, Oderus?" And he replied, "Hey." And then we both continued shopping. It was a close-knit little heavy metal town back then. I remember listening to demo versions of "As the Palaces Burn" with Randy Blythe above the Commercial Taphouse.

Too bad. Was our go-to thai place when we lived closer. Always much better than it needed to be.

This is a shame. Could always count on Tiffany Tavern as a great place to meet up with friends for some ice cold beers.
