The place looks cool and has a good atmosphere, but I really don't like the high priced, poor tasting food. I used to come here all the time when it was Cafe Bliss, a sandwich and coffee cost 11.00. As soon as Sweet lemon moved in they increased the prices by over 50% and the quality is poor to the point that everyone in my office hates the food. Now they've bought the sandwich shop next door and turned it into an extremely overpriced place that is only open 2 days a week and can't even cook a burger correctly. I really wish we could get a reasonably priced place that doesn't cost 18.00 for a burger on a bagel that is completely raw.

I was excited to check out this place. I had a kiddo that needed a diaper change and there was no bathroom available for use. The person at the register seemed annoyed that I even asked and told me go to the pub with my 2 kiddos to change my baby’s diaper.

A wonderful hole-in-the-wall. Stopped in for lunch after our Capitol tour. Delicious. And friendly. I loved my spinach and feta crepe. My son’s roast beef (like pot roast) and cheddar sandwich was also great!

It doesn't look like the pictures at all. Pastries are all from somewhere else, and the attitude of the cashier needs to improved.There's no waffle or anything like that there.

Omg this place… best burger of my LIFE! Best iced coffees, best honey cake, best coco choco cakes… I mean, you just need to come here. It might be the best hidden jewel of DC!

Loved this place! It’s was so nice to have some hot, hearty borscht after a train ride ?
A charming family-owned cafe with delicious food and a warm atmosphere nestled in the heart of the bustling city.

I really wanted to like this place. I was excited about their specialty ginger tea and they were out of it by 10:30am and said it would not be available until tomorrow. We paid full for the american breakfast bagel sandwich even though we took out the sausage part. It was okay. The spinach and feta quiche though was absolutely disgusting. They heated up an old piece in the microwave and it was just rubber. But the flavors were even worse. I have never told places that food was bad but we could not eat it at all. The lady was nice and said that a new quiche just came out of the oven and gave it to use to go but that quiche was burnt, too salty, and the flavors are just not good. Maybe their other dishes are worth it and the coffee was okay. Wished we liked it better.

A sweet oasis near Union station! We got roast chicken sandwiches and borscht on a rainy day. Warm staff, low-key atmosphere with chill music and Ukrainian art.
