Unfortunately the Dulles Airport Chipotle didn’t open as planned. Originally set to open 8/7/09 the first airport location won’t open for almost another two weeks. I was disappointed when I approached the storefront, located near gate 58 in the B Terminal, on what was supposed to be their grand opening day and found coming soon signage. Upon finding what you see above I tried to get a glimpse through the cracks of the front doors and someone on the other side spotted my snooping and opened the door smiling.

The location has a much more modern feel to it than most Chipotle locations. Less than the usual industrial facade, the tables are well lit and bright. The stools have cream leather and the kitchen is brighter, spacious and opened up like a cooking show.

The man who opened the door was pleased to hear that I was a fan of the C and told me the new location would open on August 19th and in response to my question of if they would be serving breakfast he said it was a definite and they were still working out the breakfast-burrito combination.

Now I have to figure out where to fly next Wednesday.

UPDATE: The Chipotle breakfast menu unveiled
