Solid food and good service. Sat here with friends for 2 hours at the big table and didn't have to ask for water refills. Staff was also understanding that friends were late, so we ordered in a staggered manner. Only complaint is that the bathroom exhaust or some kind of bathroom-like odor made its way into our space and ruined my appetite.
Bookstore and cafe built into one! A dream come true and the food was soooo good. The service was fairly quick and there is a bar for wine and alcoholic drinks as well as a bar in the bookstore where you can watch them cook.
Great food - fun atmosphere good for groups. Enjoyed eating out on the patio. Lots of options for most everyone. Recommend reservations.
Friends that live in the area recommended this place due to it being a restaurant counter and book store all in one. It's conveniently located off Dupont Circle and across the street from a metro entrance. It was busy, filled with people checking out books. The restaurant part is at the back on the left; they have tables in the back or bar stools along the side. The menu is extensive with traditional breakfast and brunch items, plus lunch and drinks. I had the classic breakfast with eggs, potatoes, and bacon, plus a nitro ... read more
Vegetarian perspective Perfect spot for a lunch meeting. Plenty of seating, though still recommend a reservation because its a popular spot. Tons of vegetarian options on the lunch menu, not much on the brunch side (suggestion to add a tofu scramble!) Only downside was our waiter was MIA a few times, was hard to track down the bill.
The New Orleans Pasta was delicious! The service was prompt and friendly. I come here every time I am in D.C.
A diner inside a bookstore. Kramer's was exactly what we wanted it to be. We were able to have breakfast and dinner at the same time. My wife wanted breakfast for dinner but no one else did. We saw Kramers had breakfast all day and went for it. Everything we had was good. Burger, French toast, eggs Benedict. Everyone was happy.
A very well curated bookstore with a wine list & good eats? Attentive and knowledgeable staff, too (both booze & books). What's not to like?!? A great DC stop!
The lavender Matcha latte was warm and cozy on this wintry snowy day, and the selection of books is pretty fantastic. I've made a commitment to read more fictional literature this year, and this place has such a large selection despite its relatively quaint appearance. Located at DuPont circle, it's no wonder this place gets so much traction. Very friendly staff. It's very crowded when I went on a Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to say that it's the best quiet place to read, but it's still has its uniqu... read more
