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.

This store has a good size and offers a wide range of books from many genres. However, I asked several times for specific titles and couldn't find them, so it's better to go in looking for popular choices. The entrance is easy to access, but the aisles are narrow, making it hard to move around when the store is busy. The staff were fine; they looked up books when I asked, but they didn't engage much otherwise. The store is clean and bright. There is a restaurant attached that has great service and good food, with both indoor... read more

I loved the bookstore side. Great eclectic mix of book and there is absolutely something for everybody. We had late afternoon drinks which were tasty. The Marguerita pizza was tasty but definitely not Nee Haven crust as advertised. The wait staff was a bit lackluster and the food dude definitely did not have the quirky cool ambiance of the bookstore!

This place is a bit nostalgic for me after discovering it 15 years ago while working in DC for a summer. Fast forward to now and I'm now back living in this part of the country. Was happy to see it's still around. It's become a bit of a tradition for my family to visit whenever we find ourselves in the DMV. I love the bookstore, always a great selection and well organized. But the food is good too! We had breakfast this morning and the blueberry lemon waffles and eggs in purgatory were both 10/10...I'd just suggest an extra ... read more

Loved the combo of bookstore, restaurant and bar in one location. I stayed in a hotel nearby and went there twice.

Love this gem of a bookstore and restaurant. Came here for afternoon tea with book club friends. The sandwiches weren't particularly great, I liked the egg sandwich, but the cream cheese is a bit much on the smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches. The deviled egg is also curried. The scones and accompanying lemon curd and clotted cream were surprisingly delightful (I usually hate scones). The macarons were okay -- I wasn't a big fan of the raspberry and coffee flavors that I got, I liked the peanut butter mousse cup, didn't ... read more

Rating is purely on the food. Yes, the attached bookstore is cute, but I was meeting up with a friend for dinner. I had their duck confit and cherry pizza, and I really enjoyed it. I've never had duck on my pizza, so I thought, it would be something a bit different, and it was worth the order, absolutely delicious. waitress was kind and the surroundings were of course cute. Worth a visit to try out some of their menu.
