Whether mom loves a long champagne brunch at Hummingbird, a quiet coffee and pastry morning at Mishas, or a full sit-down waterfront experience overlooking the Potomac River, Alexandria, Virginia has a spot for her. A few of my favorites are saved in this post.
You'll also find incredible options across Del Ray, Carlyle, National Harbor, and throughout the greater DC Greater Metropolitan region.
