I went on a Sunday with a friend and they were quite delayed. It took almost an hour to get our lattes. The staff are friendly. The plates are cute. The bathroom is well decorated. I'm only giving 5 stars because I had the most amazing soup of my life. Get the honey squash soup. You're welcome.

why is someone on here lying and saying there is no internet? There is! I'm literally writing this on their internet while others on laptops are clicking away typing as well.Great catching up with a friend here. decent grilled cheese. Good green tea. Cute place.

This is one of my favorite spots in DC. This is a wonderful place to spend time to read or have a business lunch. A major draw, however, is there is no internet. Or options to be connected on phone via AT&T. It's a dead zone.With that said, it's a lovely vibe even with its limited hours.

This place was absolutely popping off when we went for Saturday brunch! We luckily managed to snag the last two seats at the bar. We ordered the blueberry scone, guava turnover, and the egg sandwich with kimchi. The scone was the perfect balance between flaky and rich, and the guava turnover was so flaky and delicious -- definitely has a strong guava filling. Loooved the egg sandwich with the kimchi: the potato bun is made in house and so fluffy. We also got the gourd latte which was delicious, though it took a while for it to come out because of how busy the place was. Decor was absolutely beautiful and would definitely come back!!

Options for sitting or getting in line to order at the bar. We chose to go here for restaurant week but thankfully went the a la carte menu option instead. The yogurt/peach bowl was incredible. The quiche took the lead for 1st place quiche in my entire life. (Neither were on the restaurant week menu!) The Ruben was good but nothing special and actually came with a large piece of plastic inside it. The server took half price off the Ruben. Restrooms are gender neutral but down stairs and not easily accessible if that is a priority for you. Service was kind but slow. Come when you have some time to spare! Ambiance is great and decor is even better.

I'm not sure how we ended up paying $66 for a coffee, dessert, and two small entrees but here we are... Coffee was decent. Cheesecake was overpriced and too sweet. The Reuben was very savory and I'm glad we shared one sandwich and one quiche because it would have been hard to stomach an entire sandwich. It was so flavorful and more than likely pan fried in butter! The goat cheese in the quiche was very well creamed and integrated. The side salad was very salty. If you ate here every day you would surely die of a happy heart attack.

Ordered the breakfast sandwich with brisket, more like beef jerky! So tough! My order was over $25 and they served it in foil like a taco truck....no longer on plates unless you opt for full service. The vanilla latte was watery with no flavor.They had maybe 4 different pastries available, seemed very sparse and unappealing.This used to be one of my favorite breakfast spots to visit in DC.

I went for dinner, which was so wonderful. I would love to go back for the cafe too because it's amazing how they transform from day to night. The ambiance was cozy but not too casual, which was elevated by the highly professional and helpful waiters! The food here was delicious, though pricey, and I recommend the kimchi toast, charred broccoli, and fried chicken sandwich. A highlight was leaving with a free baguette from the bakery!

I'm only writing for my experience of the Cafe section. This place confuses me because upon entering it's a full service Café but they stop or do not serve certain drinks in the evening. When I originally wanted to order a latte, the person who was making drinks mentioned they couldn't. It was a bummer but I ended up getting an Americano.Inside, there's dimly lit tables for people that are dining in and a few small tables closer to the café portion as well. We were allowed to sit down but if the place for busy, I'd be asked to leave. That also confused me as we are patrons that just paid for coffee. Why isn't there a section just for people who want to drink coffee after sitting down in the evening? It seems disorganized from my perspective. None less, I'm afraid I'd probably will have to pass on checking out this place as it left a bad impression. I was there briefly to drink my coffee and leave.

A nice little spot for coffee and some food. Gets a little busy on weekends and the bar and sit down service is a little hit or miss. Stop in if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way.
