This place had fabulous gluten-free and dairy-free options including gluten-free fried chicken and gluten-free waffles which is rare to find. I had a great time here. Thank you for having us.

Menu had a ton of appetizing options for both meat eaters and vegetarians, and ended up being delicious, but service was nonexistent.

Needed a nice place for lunch and found it with this gem. Good food, nice and friendly staff, and a nice literary atmosphere that felt like it was for the people by the people.

We arrived around 11:30 on a Friday. It wasn't crowded but there was a line for scooter takeout that those of us waiting to be seated had to wait for the hostess to take care of them. It would be helpful to reduce the bottleneck to have a "runner" handle deliveries only during busy hours. I got the western omelette and cheese grits. The cheese grits came out as a ball in the bowl and were too thick. I wouldn't order either again. My companion enjoyed their salmon dish.This used to be the go to spot in DC, but the food is lacking each time I visit. It's no longer at the top of my recommendation list.
Nice bookstore slash restaurant Cafe. Plenty of space to work and eat or both. Strong wifi as well.The art decorations are amassing. It's almost like being in a gallery. Service is chill, mostly younger with a chill, friendly demeanor - I like it.I ordered the creole shrimp which was sad in terms of portion. It was $18 for a scoop of rice, several pieces of shrimp and vegetable tomato sauce. Want really good nor really bad just meh. I felt it was overpriced. Plus the shrimp could've been cooked more. But the presentation was beautiful.All in all it's a nice cafe. And I'd recommend coming here to read our but books, drink a coffee and work, but not the food. A bit overpriced for what you get.

Love coming here! The atmosphere, food, drinks and bookstore are all amazing! Have had so many things here, like the beet salad and the fried chicken. Both are phenomenal gluten free options. The mashed potatoes are an amazing gluten free side. Their weekend mimosas are a great deal too, they have a few great flavors. You can go wrong with any of them.Vegetarian options: The entire menu is phenomenal and has so many vegan and vegetarian options for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.Dietary restrictions: Have amazing gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and any combo of those, dishes.

I ordered the Cubano and my husband ordered the grilled chicken panini, and they were delicious! The bread was amazing, the chicken was extremely well-cooked, and the chipotle had flavor without being overwhelming!

This place was fantastic! Food was phenomenal and they had plenty of gluten free options (the GF pancakes were very good). The book selection was also really well curated. Our waiter was very new, it was only his 4th day, but he did a really great job and handled all of our somewhat complicated orders (multiple substitutions, multiple drinks and sides for everyone) without messing a single thing up!
