I ordered the Chicken Pesto Sandwich, but to be honest, I couldn’t taste any pesto at all! The chicken was completely bland, but the customer service was good.

Excellent little european and Mediterranean Cafe. The breakfast plates are good values with the amount of variety you get on a single plate.

Great place for afternoon coffee, only regret is that the red British phone box that used to be there was removed.

We are local to the District and wanted to give Utopia a try. The cafe is adorable with an eclectic vibe - Turkish, Parisian fusion. The staff was friendly and service was great. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. I ordered the Parisian omelet and my daughter ordered the American Breakfast. The Parisian omelet was extremely bland wherein the eggs appeared to be artificial and the cheese had zero flavor. The bread was cold, smashed, and like cardboard. The American Breakfast was similar in that the scrambled eggs with cheese were like rubber with zero flavor. The “salami” was fine. The pancakes were abnormally sweet. The best part of both meals were the potato wedges -10/10! The hot vanilla latte was pretty good but the coffee had a slight burnt flavor but overall decent. The iced vanilla almond latte was also good with slightly burnt coffee.
I’m sad this was not a better experience!

Brunch on Sunday. Foods are ok. Had omellete and French breakfast. Nothing to write home about but descent prices. Servers were good, but please wash the dang aprons. Very dirty on just about every server. It can't be because they are so busy or had been working all day because we got there at 10:30 am

Good selection of foods, pastries, drinks, coffees, and teas. Indoor seating is limited but plenty of covered patio space. My table had some honey stains when I arrived. One of our dishes was delayed, I'd stick with high turnover foods, we ordered something that probably didn't get ordered often so it was slow to arrive. The cheeses were portioned generously.
Parking: The District parking is notoriously bad, particularly the traffic flow when busy.
I ask the manager (a young girl) to gain professionalism and learn how to deal with customers. Otherwise, you will lose visitors. There is no desire to return to this institution. Although we liked this place before.

Amazing little brunch spot. Ordered the American breakfast and subbed a croissant instead of the pancakes. They delivered my order to the wrong table and let it sit there for a while until they realized they made a mistake and took it back to the kitchen. Instead of making a fresh plate they brought it back out to me. Thankfully the staff took care of it quickly and brought out a fresh order. Matcha Latte was amazing!

I love the vibe of this place. The wait staff is wonderful. It is in a great location with ample parking.
However, I wish that they would put more care into the food. I can see that the cantaloupes they use was cut the night before and left in the fridge and it has a different look when it is freshly cut. And while I have not tried the other pastries, the croissant I had tasted like it was from Costco.
When I go to an European style Café, I expect fantastic pastries with lots of taste of butter and freshness. Croissant has failed this taste. I have tried the Baklava and it is not bad.
The eggs are cooked OK. I hope that they will realize that seed oils are bad and they should advertise that they do not use seed oils in their cooking.
They do not have heavy cream. Which makes me question what ingredients they use in their cooking. Heavy cream is quintessential for European cooking. And the butter they use did not taste like it was of a high quality.
