In our recent symposium — Greasing the Wheels on Office to Residential Conversions — guests enjoyed more than just a thoughtful panel discussion; they also experienced a locally driven breakfast spread thanks to the Streetsense hospitality consulting team. Offerings included coffee from D.C.-based Compass Coffee, a parfait station, pastries from D.C.’s Saku Saku, and a crowd favorite: avocado toast on rustic sourdough bread from Bread Furst. Due to popular demand, we’re sharing the recipe here to try at home.
