Au Lait, a cozy breakfast place near Dupont Circle, is a popular neighborhood café known for its delicious food, amazing coffee, and warm, friendly atmosphere. The owners greet everyone warmly, and the fresh, tasty options like the Ham & Egg croissant keep customers coming back. The cute shop with a courtyard adds to its charm, making it a must-visit spot in DC. Visitors often praise the café for its soulful coffee, laid-back vibe, and affordable prices. The jazz, French music, and classic guitar rock playing on the speakers create a cozy, Parisian café atmosphere that is not gentrified or highbrow. Many customers enjoy the crepes, which are packed with mushrooms and cheese, and the omelette, described as fluffy, light, and tender. The breakfast portions are just right, not too big or small, making it a perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or just relaxing with a drink. Friendly staff and a welcoming environment make Au Lait a favorite for both locals and visitors alike.
