Foods pretty good, service is fine. But the main reason to come to the Nude Eel is the MUSIC. They have great bands. And they are careful to keep the volume down - I hate places where the music drowns out everything. I love this place and hope it will be there forever.

A really hip place for coffee and breakfast. The cafe is part of a Co-op, and it is a neighborhood vibe where everybody knows everybody. I had 2 cups of coffee and an Everything Bagel. But most of all, the conversation was excellent. I will be going back there while in DC!
Fun time with friends at the Blues Festival. We ate dinner in the Cafe. The chili was very good and came with some delicious corn bread. The sweet potato fries were superb and had a nice dipping sauce served with it. The place is clean, staff and patrons were friendly. There are games all around that anyone can play at their table. Very pleasant experience.

The front of the Cafe has a great menu with coffee, chai & mocha. The back room has a beer & wine bar & live music. A stage, upright piano and permanent sound & lighting system make this venue great on open mic night. It would be a terrific gathering spot for poetry readings, comedy, community gatherings, even a small, intimate wedding, actually. I have an extremely limited diet, but there was plenty I would have wanted to eat, including at least three desserts & ice cream. Too bad I didn't notice the kale caesar (would have loved that)... the menu's pretty large & diverse.Parking: Handicapped spot was fairly close, if I recall correctly.

Really nice! We went for a couple of hours after the movie. Great music with pleasant people and a really nice lobby with comfortable chairs to chill. We will be back!

This place is incredible! My boyfriend and I stopped in here to eat while halfway through a 16-hour road trip up the east coast. We were warmly greeted by a super friendly lady (Named Infinity! She’s the best!!) that was working the register at the front of the cafe. She asked us about our road trip & made us feel very welcome, and she also gave us great suggestions to order from the menu. The food came out very quickly which was great for us being on a time crunch with such a long road trip. The food was also over-the-top delicious & very creative, as they have a hybrid vegan/omnivore menu. We got vegan lasagna, vegan Mac n cheese, fried elote nuggets, vegan chicken tenders, & roasted vegs. ALL VERY DELICIOUS! I wish that we had a place like this near home! Everything was 10/10 very delicious & very welcoming atmosphere! Love it!! Huge thank you to Infinity! You rock!!Vegetarian options: Amazing vegetarian options!!
