Third time back but this time not just for coffee, but also food. This spot is a DC classic and a must go if you're in DuPont circle area. Tried the New Haven style white clam pizza and it hits the spot. Shared it with my partner as we darted off to another resto for dinner. This was very filling and tastes really good.

We had the best meal and experience at Kramers. Looking forward to a casual, easy place to plant ourselves while some rain moved through. We were able to sit outside under a canopy, drink good drinks and eat cozy, tasty food. We had deviled eggs to start which were also so delicious. Our waiter was super knowledgeable and friendly.

it's ok, but expected more. I see a lot more hype books & pretentious titles than selections for good reading. always hate to see multiple piles, shelves, & displays of titles they're pushing, but that was the vibe here. lunch counter & bar - that's nice, but no real sense of comfort.

Someone recommended that I check out this book store and I absolutely loved it there! It's a medium sized bookstore with everything you need. Due to its size, the in-store catalogue is limited but based on what they chose to put out, you can tell they are quite diverse and inclusive. They also have a children's corner, games, cards, socks (lol) and random dorky items for purchase which I absolutely love. At the back, there's a cafe when you can get something to eat or drink while reading. I'll certainly go back and recommend... read more

The burger sauce wasn't my favorite but I enjoyed being seated outdoors and the live music. The cheesecake was really good.

Kramer's has a lovely, cozy and friendly ambiance. The servers and staff are all warm and helpful, full of smiles. The bookstore, though small, has a nice selection of titles and genres. Moving through the various rooms and eating areas is a mini adventure. Despite the high ratings for the restaurant, I found the food to be basic and the flavors were dull. The salmon and broccolini were very overcooked, and not seasoned sufficiently. Kramer's is worth the stop but don't expect a great meal. 

Business response:

Came here for a snack on a Saturday afternoon. Kramers had a lovely ambience inside, although the layout of the place is a bit awkward. The BBQ fries were yummy, and the Brussels sprouts were good, if a bit overcooked. Cocktails and tea were good, matcha latte was not very strong- would not recommend. Their carrot cake looked insanely good, one portion probably was enough to feed at least 4 people. Overall I would come back for the bookstore and the vibes, would need to try more food.
