This cafe was a great location for a cheap and quick bite. The service here was fast as it is just counter service and my food came out hot and quickly. The omelette was really great and definitely worth it for the price, however the potatoes were cold and not tasty. The seating inside is quite limited but there is a nice small cafe vibe. I would definitely visit Le Bon again but would opt for a side other than the potatoes.

all day breakfast, cheap prices, and that good ole Capitol Hill energy win le bon cafe some points - cheap options, like this $12 omelette (up to 4 fillings) and this $12 croque monsieur. basically everything regardless of protein content was below $15 - it was a kitchy spot with diner decorations and trays to eat on. a very small cramped dining area with servers who seem like they've never met a person before .... - I don't like Lily coffee but the woman drinking a fat iced chai next to me had me starrrrring - definitely an okay option if you want a light lunch or woke up late anyday of the week. the omelette was the perfect size with a great serving of chicken and perfectly cooked mushrooms and onions. not somewhere I'd return like with intention though. - all the sandwiches come with like 3 chunks of potato labeled potato salad which was a little funny and pointless

Food and drinks have always been good here. It's a small spot, so not a ton of seating, though the outdoor seating is nice if it's a nice day. Great location.

Why oh why can you not get coffee in a porcelain cup! Why is it all in paper cups! There is nothing french about it. It is unsustainable, makes the coffee taste groce, and is uncharming.As a place that markets itself as being French, it is just disappointing.Pastries were good, service average.

Ate here a couple of weeks back, food is not worth it (cold sandwhich), service was downright disgusting. We gave a tip despite the place being self-service and never in my life have I regretted giving a tip so much.We ordered our food and coffee and waited very long (30 mins) for our food to arrive. We checked with the counter and the barista told us “it is coming” in an extremely rude and dismissive manner WITHOUT even checking the order. We continued to wait for about another 20 mins more until we saw customers who came after us receiving their food first. We went back to check with the counter again and suddenly this time round they told us “the order didn’t go through.”Despite hearing this, the barista maintained her rude and arrogant attitude. Did not even look us in the eye or apologise for her actions, ignoring us completely. The cashier herself, who took our order, gave the most pathetic apology I have ever seen.Absolutely disgraceful service. Won’t ever come back to this place and I absolutely do not recommend it. If there was a zero star rating I would have given one.

Was in need of some coffee so decided to stop by as it was close. All in all wish I could give in 3.5 stars. It's solid food and solid coffee. Will it blow your mind? Probably not but damn does that ham and cheese croissant fill you up. Special shout out to their raspberry financier pastry. We had a dirty chai and a gingerbread latte. Latte was okay but the dirty chai was tasty. They have some small tables inside and a few outside. Fair warning we went at 9am on a Friday and it was popping. Additional side note that I don't think matters but just an fyi no public restrooms. Everyone that worked there was lovely and was quick. Can't comment on parking as we walked there but it's dc so err on the side of caution.

Foods are great. Cosy atmosphere inside. But quite a view of the DC on outside the cafe. Self-service.
