The bookstore isn't large but the book selection is great!
Sarah K.August 9, 2015
The prices were too high for the quality of food, but the bookstore was great
Chris H.April 4, 2015
They aren't kidding when they say the Argentinian sirloin is served rare. Ask for medium-rare.
Mark J.February 16, 2015
Books, food, and booze. What more could you ask for?
Alex WilliamsJuly 24, 2011
The Brooklyn brewmaster reserve is a very tasty beer, it's a less hoppy version of Sierra Nevada
The White HouseNovember 27, 2011
President Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia shoped at Kramerbook & Afterwords Cafe. Read more

Skip the food. Just enjoy the bookstore.

The food is amazing
@StratosAthensOctober 6, 2010
You have to stop here. Browse the books and buy some. Then go for lunch or dinner. It's a must-visit place.
Bridget GaelJuly 14, 2019
Chicken and waffles!

The best bookstore in the city. Weekend brunches are yummy!
Kylee CoffmanMarch 9, 2010
The bar spot has some great happy hour specials or if you're looking to have a private lunch during the workweek with someone--great hideaway!
Natasha WApril 16, 2010
1) Mac and Cheese off the bar menu 2) grab a bathroom token when you enter the restaurant so when you have to go, you won't need to find one from a server.
M Coşkun CangözFebruary 20, 2016
Triple Chocolate Cake
beckalimJuly 15, 2010
The best place in town to hang out with friends. I always find a book (or 2, or 3...) I love when I come here!
Lenny LesserJune 5, 2015
late night veggie option is a very good omlet

Great selection of books. Banana bread beer is also awesome.
Chris A.December 6, 2010
Fantastic bookstore/cafe with a very unique selection. Food is on the expensive side -- 16 bucks for a burger, no fries included.
Ann YasinOctober 16, 2014
Delicious breakfast
Ileana AlbrechtDecember 5, 2011
Saturday brunch is amazing. Aaaand what's better than $3 strawberry mimosas?
Bruce Majors, Libertarian for MayorDecember 17, 2010
They leave out whole categories of books. Never any popular fiction (eg Charlaine Harris) and the politics etc is very tendentious (one would rarely find a libertarian book for example, but old dusty
Jenn SawyerJune 26, 2017
Desserts!!
Leah BrayMay 1, 2012
This Place is great. Two of my favorite things, books and pie, in the same place!

Probably the BEST Cuban sandwich I've ever had.
Jonathan KramerSeptember 3, 2014
Has a great nonfiction selection.
Amy CummingsSeptember 1, 2018
They don’t sell test-prep books here.
G WatkinsAugust 17, 2019
Bookstore is cool, but service at the bar/cafe sucks. 25 minutes and no one wants to look at me to take an order.
mike millsJanuary 17, 2013
Try the fish tacos. Just enough kimchi to set it off.
Courtney MazzoneMarch 27, 2011
First brunch drink is $3, second is $1.50. Thats two brunch drinks for $4.50! Can't beat it.

Marguerite AveryFebruary 21, 2015
A bookstore serving beer. Enough said.

Breakfast here after browsing & buying books is one of life's joys.
scott akdoganOctober 16, 2013
Must stop and browse the stacks and have lunch.
Scott SachnoffJanuary 23, 2013
You can "steal" wifi from nearby DuPont hotel if you are out back near windows.
Ed SettleNovember 8, 2015
Best book shop ever!

Good late-night spot. Quite expensive for the quality though. Get the lobster ravioli.
