I was recommended to coke here by a good friend and I am so glad i made the trip! Excels in grate cafe fare, expertly prepared! The Pan Seared Scallops was amazing! The scallops were perfectly cooked, the garnish was a welcome accoutrement and their take on the risotto was delicious! The book store itself is a warm and kind of whimsy place where you don't feel the animosity of other larger bookstores because of what you may be perusing. Many grab a spot on the floor for a quiet read or retire to the Afterwords for a bite. I will definitely be back here again!
P.S. Food looks good!
The food was pretty good, minus the bones my friend found on her chicken pot pie. The staff was really busy and we're still very attentive and kept a good pace. The bar area and the bathrooms could use some attention, as both needed some deep cleaning. I wanted to like this place more, but it feels a little tired.
Wrong place for coffee.
Upon finishing my drink there were coffee grinds on the bottom. When leaving I looked at the espresso machine and the steamer had dried out milk on it. No one cleans? No one knows how to steam milk?
This is second glass after I asked to re do it. First one had no foam whatsoever (Thanks to another server to give it a try to make it up to my taste; but it wasn’t any better). Look at this “latte”. It, as I was told, has two shots of espresso. Okay, two shots is good. Look now for the amount of milk, AND, the foam: creamy? Nope. It is drip coffee with milk for the price of a latte.
Absolutely (!!!) disappointed. Thought this place was on a high end in everything.
Good coffee. Reasonable prices. Their food is fairly good as well. Gets busy during the day. We had a 15 minute wait for seating for 5 people.
Have been coming here for over a decade. Book selection is superb. Rare finds for fair prices abound. If binding is slightly perturbed or other irregularities are noted with the structure of a book, staff will try to discount it. Staff are very knowledgeable. Likely the best book shop in DC, and in my top 10 on the east coast.
