Such a fun and packed bookstore! They have everything! Postcards, notebooks, travel, puzzles, kids toys, socks, and of course tons of BOOKS! Not to mention the entire cafe inside. Definitely check it out if you’re nearby!

Lots of good choices on the menu, so I had a hard time choosing what to get for lunch. I decided on Mushroom Ravioli ($19), which was excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating, great service, convenient location close to the Metro.

I love visiting bookstores when I travel and Kramers did not let me down! I loved the setup and the recommendations all the staff had. It was definitely a great experience.

Super cute bookstore with a great selection and a restaurant inside too! I would recommend getting a reservation for a Saturday brunch, because it was packed, but my friend and I sat at the bar with no issues. I had the most incredible cookie butter French toast that I’m still dreaming about, it was delicious and a good portion for the price. Will definitely be back soon!

went on a Friday afternoon & had less than a 10 min wait! ordered the crab deviled eggs (comes with 4), the Bavarian Pretzel (feeds at least 4 people) & Crispy Brussels Sprouts (feeds at least 4 people). All 3 appetizers were BOMB! Ordered the Fettuccine New Orleans as the entree & loved it (came with shrimp, chicken, sausage, etc)!! would definitely come again to try out their breakfast
