The food/coffee this morning was relatively good. Nothing bad to say about it, but the hostess was absolutely the rudest hostess I have ever encountered at a restaurant, horrible attitude to not only my party, but everyone who walked in the door.
Bookstore is always amazing with really interesting items and fantastic service. Cute cafe was good but left a lot to be desired. Sure, it's casual dining but maybe too casual. We went here for cherry blossom afternoon tea and honestly things looked a little dingy. We were next to a loud AC unit that felt it would drip on me. The food was fine but it seemed very pre-prepared and just plated. Sure, it's not Fortum and Mason afternoon tea but the waiter forgot about giving us plates. Or napkins. Etc. these are the basics.

Crowded shoulder to shoulder and spine to spine is a fantastically curated selection of great books. While not original, the staff picks and their book's descriptions definitely helped me find the perfect title. Wish I had Kramer's to call my local bookstore.
Happy to wonder into this place! Great little independent book store, everyone was friendly and I purchased a couple of books to read on the way home.
Savoring the Soho Omelet and Mimosa at Kramers during weekend brunch--the fluffy eggs with fresh fillings paired perfectly with the vibrant Dupont scene, surrounded by bookshelves. Reservations smart for peak times, but patio walk-ins worked; staff nailed every detail. Literary foodie heaven--repeat visit guaranteed!
Fresh. Generous portions. Extraordinary selection especially breakfast. Have yet to experience disappointment which is rare these days. Top wait staff and kitchen too.
Kramerbooks & Afterwords is a Washington, D.C. institution that has been the heart of literary and social life since the Bicentennial. As the city's pioneering bookstore-café, it masterfully blends a curated book selection with a welcoming, full-service restaurant and bar--a rare and cherished combination. The lively, intellectual atmosphere makes it perfect for everything from a quiet read to a memorable night out. A timeless and essential destination in the nation's capital.
We walked past this cute bookstore after dinner and I was quickly intrigued. I loved how bright it was and it allowed us to extend our night out. I went in and was able to browse freely. It was too late for cafe and we had already had food, so we didn't try it. I had been wanting to buy a book from a YouTube creator that wasn't easily accessible in my hometown and when I asked the attendees, they had it! It was the perfect souvenir and I was happy I shopped local.
We might be out of the loop on knowing about Kramer's but it was so good! We ate here the night before thanksgiving with our toddler. I had the French toast, which was undoubtedly the best I've ever had. Huge pieces of cinnamon brioche drizzled with cookie butter and topped with whipped cream and strawberries. My husband had the chicken Caesar wrap which he also raved about. My toddler liked her grilled cheese. Overall a really solid spot with a great menu. We can't wait to go back!
