After a group lunch where we all raved about our food (except the Brussel Sprouts appetizer which was universally disliked by 8 of us), I was excited to return to sit outside this time and enjoy the food and drinks again. I would come back...for the atmostphere and most of the food. My friend still liked her veggie lasagna which she had raved about previously. But the drinks were just ok. The cold brew coffee was sold out?! and the initial substitution offered and delivered was watery and tasteless. There is something so charming and inviting about this lovely bookstore, I'm sure we will return again. It's the kind of place, and kind of people that even if you have a soso part of your meal you're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. We were happy to have some vegetarian options.More

We had breakfast twice--very good for $15. One lunch--hamburger. Received very good service from wait staff.

I remember this place from my college days and it was a cool, fun place to go. When I found out they were doing takeout orders I wanted to give it a try because I really want places like this to do well and thrive....But this was very disappointing. I placed an order for takeout and when I got back to my office the order was wrong. No bacon or cheese on the sandwich and the fries were cold. It looks good on the menu, too bad they didn't follow through in the kitchen. It was at 2:30 pm, after the lunch rush so they weren't really busy.More

Very nice place. We had chicken wings, fries and a burger. Good food and we took two beers with it. We loves the glasses and could buy them. Nice souvenir.

I cannot comment on the café, but if you're like me and like to visit local bookstores when in a new town, this is a great spot. The selection is vast and there are recommended staff picks on every shelf.

We enjoyed stopping in and browsing the books on a recent trip to D.C. nice selection with several things that peaked my interest without being overwhelmingly vast. One little suggestion: it would be really nice if they had a little seating other than the restaurant...area, where readers could just get off their feet for a little while and sample a few books before buying.More

Kramers Books, which opened in 1976, was the first bookstore/cafe in Washington, D.C. You can read a book, sip a cup of coffee and enjoy a complete meal. Breakfast is served all day. How about Kramer's specialty with two scrambled eggs, sausage, breakfast potatoes and...toast or smoked salmon Benedict or buttermilk waffles or lobster ravioli or the all-day burger or Kramer's goober pie? Located at 1517 Connecticut Avenue Northwest, north of DuPont Circle, Kramer's is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday. From tourists to college students to politicians, there is something for everyone at Kramer's, including a full-service bar, covered patio and a solarium dining space that features greenery and bookish murals illustrating the history of Kramer's. Enjoy browsing the book shelves for paperbacks, new releases, novels, mysteries, biographies, memoirs, sci-fi, fantasy, comic books, history, fiction, non-fiction, politics, poetry, kid's books, science, technology, cooking, puzzles, games. Kramer's is more than a coffee shop. How about French toast or smoked pork hash or ham Benedict or a yogurt parfait for breakfast? How about cornbread pudding, BBQ French fries, butternut squash soup, fried chicken breast or dark chocolate mousse for lunch or dinner? I recommend the all-day burger with two four-ounce beef patties, American cheese, lettuce, pickles and Kramer's special sauce. They should write a book about this place.More
