AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Ever since The Washington Post declared it “the most interesting drinks in DC” and The New York Times praised its “creative spins on cocktail staples,” reservations at the Gibson are hard to come by. Read more
Lizzie RubenfieldSeptember 14, 2014The breakfast food is great here. It is an unpretentious spot to get a good classic breakfast. However, be aware the service is less than par. Make sure to double check your order before leaving!!
Jameka WhittenFebruary 17, 2014Great spot. Good atmosphere for getting work done. Very good soy lattes
Good food (breakfast in particular) with a really friendly staff.
Ananda LeekeOctober 24, 2011I went to the cafe yesterday and had a great mint tea and raisin cinnamon bagel. The staff is wonderful.
All the sanwiches I've had here are yummy. The BLT on rye is amazing, but the chicken salad has a little too much tarragon for my taste.
Best coffee on U, and all day breakfast. Don't waste your time/money at Starbucks.
Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 10, 2014The Bitches Say: A. U Street Cafe is a solid, classic D.C. local breakfast haunt.
Hola mamacita! Say hello to Reina, the beautiful el salvadorean woman who is always working. She's the best.
Try their grilled chicken avocado sandwich...BANGING!!! Reina is the sweetest! "Hola Papacita!!!" Love her!
- Danielle RicksMarch 20, 2011This is a free WiFi zone but you have to get a code from the cashier at the time of purchase and I'm told there is a time limit :-/
Michael BransonJune 15, 2013Please refrain from having a two hour Skype conversation. This girl almost started a hipster riot and got lots of angry stares.
The sausage egg and cheese on a bagel is one of the best i've ever had.
The food is solid, but generally overpriced. The wifi can be troublesome as well. I suggest Ecolate or Love Cafe instead.
Drew BennettJuly 28, 2011Painfully bad at almost everything: service to food to tea - I don't plan to risk it with the coffee
Colin LawrenceJuly 23, 2013Mediocre servings and a bit pricey; I'd opt for some of the other smashing cages in the area
