came here for brunch on a sunday with an old friend and loved it! the bookstore/cafe vibes are great and cozy. i ordered the buttermilk waffles with seasonal fruit (blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries this time) and a lavender latte with oat milk. both were delicious and super filling. the only reason it's not five stars is because it's a little expensive for what it is, but still a really nice treat!

Delicious. Chicken had a spicy sauce, really good. Went really well with the coleslaw. The waffle was crispy and soft delicious.

Kramer's is one of my favorite places to visit in DC. Always find great books and a great meal in the cafe.

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. The fries were under cooked too. The service is i... read more

Nothing much to be said about the DC staple bookstore/coffee shop that hasn't been said before. Fantastic service, excellent menu, great place!
