Roggenart European Bakery in Arlington, VA
A European bakery café in Ballston
Roggenart Arlington is a European bakery and café on Wilson Boulevard in Ballston, Arlington, Virginia. We serve croissants, pastries and breads made from scratch and baked in small batches every day, along with breakfast, lunch and espresso seven days a week, from 7 AM.
This was our first café in Virginia. Roggenart began in Baltimore in 2017 and moved to Columbia, Maryland in 2018, with one purpose: to bring authentic European baking and café culture to America. The name means "the art of rye" in German, a nod to the European baking traditions behind everything in our pastry case.
Mornings here start with a flaky croissant and a latte or cold brew, a short walk from the Ballston-MU Metro station. Regulars come back for the Almond Frangipane, the Roggenart Signature Sandwich and the Spanakopita Weave. At lunch we make sandwiches to order and fresh salads like the Mediterranean and Roasted Beet.
It's a place to slow down, the kind of café where people come to connect and reconnect. Grab breakfast on the way to work, catch up with a friend at our outdoor tables, or settle in with a coffee and one of the books from our shelves. Feeding the office? Order ahead online and we'll have it packed and ready when you arrive.
