SharonJanuary 17, 2010Love ALL of the desserts and signature cocktails! Quesadilla is unusual but tasty.
Mark RowlandNovember 19, 2009A DC destination...this independent bookseller has a well curated selection of books and a great cafe to boot. Read more
- Bruce Majors, Libertarian for MayorOctober 2, 2011The Obama depression has even hit fat 'crats in DC. The place is two thirds empty before 9 am
VrindaMarch 13, 2011Great service, but both my boyfriend's and my omelet were over cooked and chewy.
Drew BennettNovember 3, 2009Some great beers on tap right now, but - wowzahs! - food prices remain hugely inflated.
Chris KennedyApril 19, 2009Get a water, a manhattan, and the nachos. Ask them to add tomato slices. It will be beautiful.
North coast brewing company: brother thelonious belgian brew. YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!
Nohra MuradDecember 28, 2017I feel like the only person in Washington who doesn't like this place. I can't have dairy, and all I could have here was stale nachos and a cocktail. Cafe feels completely removed from the books.
- Chris KennedyApril 21, 2009Sit and eat on the 2nd floor in the area where you can people-watch upon bookstore
Sheena EdwardsOctober 29, 2012Disgusting, expensive, and overrated! If you want good crab cakes for cheaper...do yourself and favor and walk a mile to Clyde's in Georgetown.
Kevin RayburnJune 14, 2013The food was alright and the service was absolutely terrible, I would never eat here again the horrible service doesn't warrant the quality of food.
Cindy CadleMay 30, 2011Hope you aren't thirsty if Anna is your server. She didn't once ask if we wanted another drink.
They "don't really have any" computer books. So much for top rated bookstore.
