This review is exclusively afternoon tea as I haven't seen any reviews on it yet! Kramers has almost two parts - a bar/seating area up front and then the back area which also has outdoor tables. We originally sat at the front but after being ignored for a few minutes we moved to the back. The afternoon tea is offered on weekdays from 2-5pm. The most shocking and egregious part of this tea is that tea isn't included with the price. I thought when the menu said "teapot only" that meant if you didn't want the sandwiches. Tea ... read more

Hello Devon, we appreciate your feedback. It would be helpful to receive more information. Are you referring to the photo on our website that shows two towers? The menu shows tower for two with two teapots for $49 and a teapot only is $10. Please contact us at info@kramers.com so we can discuss further.

Kramers always hits, and it's a comfy local spot. I sometimes bunker down with a friend in Dupont for days in work mode, and we would take joyful breaks to bop down to Kramers for brunch. She always gets the avo toast and French soda and it's cute to have a lil routine. We came here on Inauguration Day 2025, a spooky day, and it felt very DC. Thankful for this friendship and fond memories here together.

Super yummy! Came here on a Sunday morning to browse books and eat breakfast with a friend. We both enjoyed our experience. The service was friendly and our food came out fast and fresh. I enjoyed the omelette and she had crab cakes Benedict's. The seating area in the back was nice and bright. Overall I would definitely come back!

Such a lovely place! The bookstore was cute with a good stock of items. The food in the restaurant was incredible. We only had time for a snack and got butternut squash burrata and it was delicious. Other patrons' food looked great too.

The cutest and coolest place in DC when it comes to a restaurant/bar/book store combo! Breakfast is delicious. You can sit inside or outside. Check out the bar too!

Really cozy vibes inside and a great bookstore where time slows down and you can leisurely peruse the shelves. There's also a coffee bar so you can order a coffee and hang out. To the side is the restaurant and they were hosting a trivia night when I stopped by, which I thought was a really great touch. There's a plethora of books and genres to choose from and they also sell jigsaw puzzles! Love how they are a true vibe bookstore!
