This place was a very good setting in which to attend a work meeting via audio for a few hours. While it was busy and somewhat noisy over the lunch hour, this seemed like an indicator of a good location and not a drawback. The food and drinks were high-quality and the place was fairly quiet through the middle of the afternoon. Employees were very patient with my extended stay and several rounds of orders. The setting is nicely decorated and comfortable. I recommend it!

Loved the atmosphere, the service, and the food here. The food was fresh and home made; everything we ate the bread, pastries, soup, the salad, and the juices were all high quality. The service was very attentive, friendly, and communicative.

A contemporary industrial look. Welcoming atmosphere and a very laid back vibe. A nice place to meet for brunch or just because. My meal was the egg cheddar avocado breakfast sandwich and my wife had the skillet bake eggs with bacon and scallions. I was pleasantly surprised how delicous it was. My wife is very picky and she said it was scrumptious! Lol

Great if you are trying to get your food quickly. Hats off to the kitchen staff. The baked eggs with tomatoes and avocado were lovely. They do warn you not to touch the skillet as it comes out hot and still bubbling. 🙂

Get ready to enjoy a European trip, cuisine wise at least, in downtown DC. I really enjoyed having breakfast here. My favorite spot was the comfortable chairs by the large windows. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I also liked their alternative milk options for their drinks. Check it out and let me know what you think

A very very average smoked salmon tartine. The bread was actually pretty bad.
