Bread & Chocolate

The best aspect of this place is the service!! Such a welcoming environment, smiles and kindness all around, which makes you enjoy whatever you order. The omelette was great, I had it with some side salad. Well presented and very tasty. Cappuccino was also nicely done. I had higher hopes on the pastries, but that's ok. Maybe it was the wrong day, maybe I'm just too picky. If I went back, I would just order the omelette :)

Wait I actually can't believe this place has such low reviews because I had one of the best diner-like experiences of my life here and the food we had was amazing. I can't say enough good things about the French Country egg sandwich. That thing is SO GOOD. The salty sweet combination of the ham/egg with the fig spread means so much to me. The bread was soft and contained the sandwich well, and I think about this sandwich every time I look back on the three days I spent in DC. We also tried the strawberry crepe, which came with this strawberry cream inside that I think was house made? It was just so unexpected-- I was really expecting just strawberries and whipped cream, but they took this to the next level. I was so impressed by the cream and it wasn't too sweet.I also ordered an iced chai, which tasted so similar in flavor to an iced chai I've had in NYC that is probably one of the best chais I've had. Not too watery and pretty strong and creamy. The only thing I'll say is that our waitress got our order wrong for both dishes. She came out with a completely different sandwich (we asked for a replacement), and we had actually ordered the blueberry crepe not the strawberry (we just didn't want them to throw the strawberry away so we decided to eat it). Not sure how the order got so wrong, but in the end it was no big deal. This will be a stop next time I'm here 100%

Solid place for breakfast/lunch or a pastry. Conveniently located near Georgetown. Fast, friendly service. Large selection of pastries. I had the croissant which was flaky and buttery. Salmon on the salad was a nice sized portion.

Very expensive for what it is, I ordered a bagel and cream cheese, the bagel was moldy. I complained and they comped the coffee, which is why I didn't give 1 star, but this just shouldn't happen.

Ugh! My husband's eggs Benedict featured overcooked bacon and undercooked eggs! My Muesli had grapes and mango (?!?!?) amongst its way too large proportion of fruit. And my "fresh" orange juice tasted like it was fresh out of a carton! Did we have to pay in full, including tip, for our abandoned breakfast? Yep! Friendly service in a cozy restaurant but the food was AWFUL!

Nice place for a quick breakfast or brunch. They have variety of pastries and service was good. The employees greeted us right away and brought the menus quickly and didn't have to wait for long for ordering. You can sit outside or inside. The place was not loud and we felt welcomed and really liked the food. Prices are not bad for the area and compare to other places.

Not sure why the low reviews, but this is a very cute cafe! The staff is ALL so very wonderful and personable. We came here as a frazzled family on a long road trip, just needing to simply sit and eat. Our children were antsy and testing our patience, and the staff were kind enough to diffuse some of the situation by giving the kids some sugar lol! Our food came out quickly and was extremely plentiful. Our children had banana Nutella crepes that were absolutely divine! Lots of seating both inside and out, and the location is prime!

Was staying in the hotel across the street and found this place looking for breakfast items. What a find - wish they were near my home - coffee was very good as were the different danish and pastries we got, not to meantion the friendly service. Great place

i always see this spot filled with people sitting outside when i'm going to my doctors visits. decided to give it a a try. a classic, nice but not too fancy cafe with a spacious inside and nice outdoor seating. saw a couple politicians having lunch (secret service members lingering outside).got the fig and brie sandwich! very yummy but beware of the price has increased since some of these menu photos. cheapest thing is about 13. sandwiches about 16-20 bucks. overall a good local cafe that seems like a neighborhood favorite in a sea of corporate lunch spots, good fast service and food but a little pricey.

Great choice for breakfast and bakery. Crepes are prepared very well. Croissants are flaky and delicious. Highly recommend for any visit to the city.
