Kramer's is one of my favorite places to visit in DC. Always find great books and a great meal in the cafe.
Great independent bookstore in the heart of DuPont Circle. Had to limit myself to only buying 2 books since I had to fit them in my carry on to travel back home!
Can get busy so keep that in mind! Food was solid. Have ordered online from here before and they forgot about my order or gave it to someone else by accident so had to wait a bit long, but it was super busy then.
KramerBooks is a wonderful bookstore with a good selection and a fun place to browse for something new to read. We need more independent bookstores like this. I really want to like their restaurant - the concept of a cafe inside a bookstore is a good one - but they fall short on execution. This weekend I had a lobster roll which had too much celery and Mayo and not enough lobster; as a New englander I have high standards on lobster rolls and this was at best a 4 out of 10.

Hello Jeffrey, this is helpful feedback. Please contact us at info@kramers.com so we can discuss further.
Nothing much to be said about the DC staple bookstore/coffee shop that hasn't been said before. Fantastic service, excellent menu, great place!
I finally was able to make it to Kramer's and had a lovely time in the bookstore. The staff was very friendly and helpful when I asked questions about books they had in stock. The store was pretty packed at the time I went, but I was still able to take my time and navigate all the books I wanted to find.

I also opted to get an aperol spritz, which was in a very large glass. I can't wai... read more
I've been going to Kramers since 2016 and I absolutely love the aesthetics. I love going here for a quick date. The food is always fresh and delicious. Me and my friend have tried everything so trust me lol. The only thing that makes me not give them 5stars is due to the fact they are always changing management and the menu.
Kramers is consistently really great. The service is fantastic, the staff is really friendly, and the atmosphere is always very welcoming. Thomas is a really friendly and attentive bartender. I recommended a visit when you're in the DC area!
Dropped by with a friend to grab a quick drink. I had not been to Kramers in years. Allie was our bartender and she was able to make great recommendations off the cocktail menu. Her drinks were very good and she was very attentive to us. Didn't have the chance to stay long, but will definitely be returning to check out the book selection.
