It was very busy and crowded at lunchtime, but we didn't wait too long after our orders. There were more tables outdoor. The service was per normal. We ordered: 4*La Combo: half of Curried Turkey.... sandwich with organic mixed green salad. It was light and healthy. 5*Le Bon Mixed Greens Salad: for less than $10, weeks got a bowl of colorful and healthy meal. I would come back for more.

This place is a wonderful stop. Lots of food for $12. I got the le bon club sandwich and it was very fresh and large. I enjoyed every bite. The double chocolate chip cookie was super standout. I'd get that again in a heartbeat.

Rounding up a 3.5 to a 4 star for overall experience and value. Le Bon is a tiny little cafe that serves economical food, not far from the Capitol & Library of Congress. We arrived just before a rush on a Saturday morning. While cute French music adds to the ambiance, the interior feels cramped. Sitting at inside tables means you'll likely have the line traveling right next to you while you eat, unless you snag the one little booth tucked by the window. We chose to eat outside since the weather was nice. At one point something in the kitchen was burned or caught fire, filling the entire place with smoke, so that was a good choice! Our food and coffee came out in timely fashion. We decided to eat here once I saw the açaí bowl on the menu. Just what I was craving. Served with generous portions of granola, coconut, and fruit. I wish the açaí smoothie part had been a bit thicker, but I was still quite satisfied with my choice. Both my husband and my son enjoyed their breakfast as well, having ordered the baked egg strata and the baked French toast respectively. Prices were very reasonable. Coffee was good and serve hot, which I appreciate as there's nothing worse than a lukewarm coffee, imho.

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.

Need a quick bite to eat or drink to cool down or warm up; drop in at Le Bon Cafe. This cafe is nestled across the Library of Congress. It has indoor and outdoor seating. I got the ham and cheese croissant; an iced caramel macchiato and a strawberry smoothie. The food and drinks were good. The service was great. Quick and friendly getting through the morning rush. The closest metro is Capitol South.

Small cafe with limited seating but great views if you can grab a spot on the patio. It's counter service with a good mix of breakfast and lunch items on the menu - your typical standard cafe options but some unique combos as well. I went with the breakfast croissant which was pretty good although the side of potatoes was cold. The highlight was definitely the iced chai which I got with oatmilk.

A beautiful French place across the street from The Library of Congress. A lot of pastry and good choice of breakfast. Usually packed during the weekend mornings. Nice patio outside.

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.

This place is one of my favorite spots in Capitol Hill as the coffee is genuinely good. I haven't had the opportunity to eat here yet as it's always crowded, but I can vouch for their quality coffee. I ordered my usual today, iced dirty chai, and will 100% admit that $10 is a steep price to pay even by DC standards. Fortunately, they have one of the best dirty chais in the city so this is my once in a while treat. Wish they had more than one size for iced drinks though!
