I've walked past this place a trillion times but never eaten there. I'm so glad I finally tried it! The atmosphere is casual but cozy French country cafe. I got the 3-egg scramble, which was very simply and light but good. I love the bread that comes with it. It's a little overpriced, but not any more than everywhere wise in DC. And our waitress was very nice and timely. I'll come back!

We got a double espresso which was one of the good ones. Usually when we get espresso it’s acidic but this was good. We also got the French cream doughnut, which is delicious. I usually don’t like donuts, but this was delicious and not too dry. Restrooms are clean.

Bit pricey especially for salad but great food. The bread they used for breakfast sandwich was so soft and fluffy. The best bread I've had for a sandwich. Great atmosphere inside and out.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options.

If you’re black your, beware.This is my 4th time coming in with no service and see every human that is not of color get good service and I don’t even have a head turned my way. I lived on the hill all of my life and they way that is coffee shop treats me every single time I walk into the building breaks my heart.I would love to have a good experience the time I come if there is a next time.For the staff, please treat others the way you want to be treated.

My husband and I really like how simple and delicious the food is. He really likes the lentil soup! Would recommend stopping by if you are looking for soup, bread, or salad.

Just because it's a French name doesn't mean it's good! WORST croissant I ever experienced. Bon appetite!!

Out of this world passionfruit tart. $12 was a bit steep for a small pastry, but since the flavors are so intense, the portion was sufficient and even shareable. Pair it with a foamy macchiato, and you are good to go. I took one star off each for affordability and service.
I've never been to this place before. It's the first time I've tried their food. The coffee is excellent, and the atmosphere is great. The service was excellent and exceptional. I highly recommend trying their smoked salmon.

What a cute lunch spot. After a morning of museum-ing. It was a perfect place to grab lunch and a warm chai latte. The grain bowl was delicious and the chai latte was one of the best I had in years. Small warning the Belgium waffle is a more authentic Belgium waffle (small). If you are looking for the american version, you might want to pass.

Service was pretty good not overbearing but attentive enough. Ambiance is great to get some work done or meet with a friend or family and converse. Had the mixed berry tart and the crust was nice and buttery while the fruit and custard was the right amount of sweet. They had much more options to offer for food, willing to try some items for next visit.

Good value for an early weekday breakfast. If you need a mega protein boost, go for the smoked salmon omelet. Pleasantly of smoked salmon and eggs. Worked like a charm for me. Delivery works well even close to their opening time.
