Bookstore review. We did grab some dinner too but see Kramers All Day Restaurant for that one. I loved this little bookstore. I met my cousin for dinner and we spent time before and after exploring the shelf's. Loved the layout and intimate vibe. Everything seems well organized and it all made sense to me and sections were clearly labeled. I enjoyed the bookstore so much I couldn't leave without grabbing at least one book.
Ehh ok spot if you're in the area. Service was slow for a not so busy night. Forgot stuff on sandwiches, pasta lacked a little luster. The concept of a book store/restaurant/bar is cool.
I love, love, loved this place. A full-fledged bookstore with tons of books, sections, accessories and gifts PLUS a legit breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurant with great food, gorgeous patio/dining area? I am SO in. We stopped in bc my husband's last name is Kramer and it's spelled the exact same and I saw the brunch/breakfast options and wanted to eat here. We loved it. Tried the avocado toast, brioche French toast and a smash burger and everything was delicious. Service was good, food was out quickly, portions were... read more
Went here for lunch. I ordered the steak frites medium well. The steak was delicious. We also shared some deviled eggs and wings as a table of six overall the food was solid and at first I thought I would come back, however after we paid our $280 bill and we sat at the table for about 10-15 as we were waiting for our friend to use the bathroom , the server came overand said, "hey not to kick you out but we do need a the table, sorry ." I think the wording of the request and being rushed out quickly after paying felt a bit... read more
A DC institution, I will always be a fan of Kramers. It's not the best restaurant, but it's a classic that I hope remains open for decades and decades to come. Service is great, prompt and professional, and some of the items are hit or miss, but there is a lot of light lunch fare to choose from and my salad was fresh. Make sure to stop in at the bookstore at the end of your meal.
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.
