Bloomingdale'sAugust 12, 2010Food for thought, and thoughtful food. No wonder this Dupont Circle institution’s constantly crammed. If the waits for a table can be long – well, it’s not like you couldn’t find a book to read.
Andrew RomanNovember 25, 2010Their delicious spiked coffees and hot chocolates help take the edge off those cold DC winters.
Rashid KhazeinasabNovember 30, 2021The taste of squash soup is not good at all. They use the fried rosemary as toping of the soup!
Anna DMay 9, 2015This place must get good ratings for the bookstore. The breakfast food is just not worth it, everything was rubbery. I'd rather get a protein box from Starbucks next door than eat here.
Get a couple of the selections off the Sharezies menu and split it with a friend
The Double Chocolate Cake, Death by Chocolate, and the Carrot Cake is yummylicious!
Rob WhitleyJanuary 29, 2011Eat a crabcake sandwich and get Nassim Nicholas Taleb's - The Bed of Procrustes
Nick TripoliAugust 8, 2010The mixed berry crumb with cinnamon ice cream is pretty good ... very sweet, but good :)
Mark RowlandNovember 19, 2009A DC destination...this independent bookseller has a well curated selection of books and a great cafe to boot. Read more
SharonJanuary 17, 2010Love ALL of the desserts and signature cocktails! Quesadilla is unusual but tasty.
Maureen IsraelJanuary 24, 2010Rent out the upstairs for a bridal luncheon. Have them bring you all their delicious desserts.
Evan EllmanMay 26, 2013this place is really cool, but the food is wayyyyy overpriced (even for a New Yorker)- Lewis WilkinsSeptember 3, 2018Dupont Circle’s local independent bookseller. Afterwards is good, 20% overpriced, but always full. Traditionally, they have even operated a skeleton crew on snowpocalypse OPM days off.
