I stopped by Kramers yesterday for a book followed by a meeting at the cafe. I wandered around for a while trying to find it as the books don't seem to be setup in a discernible pattern except for a relatively few areas with clear signage. There was an employee putting up or cataloging books who I walked around as I looked for the book but he barely moved out of my way and didn't say anything to me like most bookstore employees would. You know, something like "can I help you find something?" Oh well, service must not be his ... read more
What a cool concept and fun place to visit! We came for breakfast but managed to spend an hour just looking at the books to buy! The prices are good and the fresh toast was fantastic! Our server was super nice and on the ball for everything we needed. This was such a treat!
After a day of walking around DC, this was a nice place to sit down and eat a really good meal. My friends wanted to stop here because they are obsessed with bookstores and I was like all right. Well, let's grab lunch then at the same time. The service was very friendly and our waters were never empty. I thought that the food was very good. I enjoyed my burger and the fries. I wasn't crazy about the drink, but I wanted to try it just to see. The service was great, and the waiter was very efficient. The atmosphere of the plac... read more

Great food! Good service! Good atmosphere! We had a great time and got to shop for books after.
Went to lunch with a colleague and had an excellent Crab Cake Pasta. The service was good and the prices are reasonable for DC.
I love visiting DC and exploring as much of the city as I can. Each visit is unique, filled with different activities, events, museums, shops, restaurants, and more. I enjoy discovering local spots, like Kramers in Dupont Circle, which combines a bookstore and a restaurant--a true two-for-one deal. The menu is as varied as the book collection, offering something for everyone. They serve breakfast all day, along with lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. You can enjoy your meal in the solarium, on the outdoor patio, or in the ba... read more
This is my second time here. Kramer's has all of my favorite things-books, drinks and food. I didn't eat this time but I ordered the Dorian Grey gin drink and it was delicious! If you are a book lover this place is a must-visit.
Decided to stop here before my appointment and had a positive experience. Started with a coffee and apple pastry. Both were good. And a nice start to the morning. Also ordered the breakfast platter that came with eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Can't go wrong! Everything was delicious and cooked well. The service was nice and quick. Very friendly and attentive staff. Not very busy which was nice.
