This is one of M. St hidden gems. The desserts selection and the coffee options are great. I come here to order the beignets, I enjoy dipping the beignets in my coffee. An absolute pleasure of mine😋

The Gegrilltes Lachsfilet is light & refreshing, yet filling: grilled salmon filet, crushed cucumbers, Medjool dates, fennel, walnuts & basil oil.

Start off with the Heurigenplatte, which offers some great cured meats & cheeses, along with a sweet fig jam and dried fruits.

Amazing Austrian cafe tucked away in the heart of Georgetown. The food is fantastic—fresh ingredients and well prepared—and the pastries are delicious. Don’t forget to try the Sachertorte!

I took the chicken salad, the chicken is not seasoned well and it’s actually grilled chicken with greens on the side not a salad. The place is nice with an outdoor area

Very enjoyable European fare with a particularly great brunch. Got Mediterranean flatbread brunch alongside banana crepes. Great dining experience, especially in the heart of Cady’s Alley.

Baked chocolate mousse with coffee ice cream is on point. Emperor pancake is better for 2 people and a good non-sweet dessert. Coffee was great. Apple strudel was great too

Came here on a busy weekend with a line out the door to get in. Ended up walking past the line and grabbing 2 seats at the bar, no wait. They have Eggenberg Pils on draft and a boatload of sweets.

The ham and cheese scones are fantastic. Also, the Leopold's Omelette came with a very generous portion of Chilean sea bass (stuffed inside).

I always seem to get the Croque Madam. It's perfectly crafted here. Check out the deserts on Your way out!

Get the pastry basket with your brunch - it's so delicious. On a nice day, sit outside. Might be wait but they text you when your table is ready.

Nice, clean water bowls for your dog in an intimate courtyard with a fountain. Very European, from the excellent cafe au lait/desserts to the kind, welcoming attitude towards pets. A favorite of ours.
Carol LeeMarch 5, 2015
Get the Tartine (mozzarella, prosciutto, a mountain of mushrooms) and add an over easy egg on top. The best!
Krista MartinOctober 15, 2018
Turn on 30th street- down ally! Hard to find but very cool place. No French toast. German breakfast and pancakes /waffles

The Bitches say: B+. Kafe Leopold is a quaint cafe with an extensive international menu and patio seating. It's a good retreat from the hustle and bustle of M Street. Read more

Great location in Georgetown with delicious light takes on Austrian cuisine. Everything is made with meticulous care and you will not be disappointed. They also have great coffee and desserts.

It's got charm, an outdoor patio, fluffy lemon pancakes, and a long window display full of chocolate desserts. Great for the morning before the inauguration. And maybe the morning after. Read more

Quite scene-y on a Saturday night. Louboutins everywhere. Service= sweet but unobtrusive to a fault. Karamell Grey cake= wonderful. Delightful oasis, esp on a Sunday afternoon. VERY dog-friendly, too.
BaturalpMarch 11, 2018
Great place to have a brunch. Lots of sunlight and white themed interior. Skip orange juice, it wasn’t fresh! Desserts are good.
Josephine LeeFebruary 19, 2014
Gorgeously chic cafe. Came for dessert, but the food looked so delicious that I wished we were eating real food as well! So good!
Zak ButterfieldMay 15, 2012
Ok this place is really tough to find, but worth the trip! It's actually across the street from the odd-numbered side of M Street, down a flight of stairs in a little courtyard called Cady's Alley.
MarcJanuary 9, 2020
Nice area. I went for breakfast but I think it's better as a lunch or dinner venue. Breakfast has a limited menu. AC was way too hot for a cold day when I got there but they turned it down on request.

Fresh and flavorful steak tartare and crispy chips. Amazing dish.
BrandieDecember 7, 2020
The cutest little European (Austrian) cafe hidden away in Georgetown

Must-brunch-here. Croque Madame and Leopold Omelet. Try the trio tea sandwiches! All of them are all worth trying.
Lucia TheresaJune 9, 2017
The food here is fabulous but our service was a little slow. We had second thoughts about dessert because it took so long for our server to circle back to us. The food really is phenomenal though.
Shan C-MorettiMarch 30, 2011
The savory tarts are out of this world! The desserts taste as good as they look, which is saying a lot because they're so lovely. Croque madame and trout hash, yum!
E 🤍June 23, 2016

Hallie SwiftJune 8, 2018
