    Don't miss the pimento cheese frittata sandwich, either: It's part French, part Southern and all delicious. The coffee, from PT's in Topeka, Kan., is worth every drop, too. Read more

    Owner gives this U Street/Shaw neighborhood a quaint and laid-back breakfast/lunch nook for laptop users, bookworms, and good conversation in a living room setting. Read more

    I left my dorm looking for a great place to study and found it at the Blind Dog Cafe. Their sandwiches are amazing. The atmosphere is great. It's louder than a library, but I like loud study spaces.

    Their sandwiches are very good and come with a generous side salad. Also liked the mushroom salad and the iced coffee was really good too.

    No excuses, you HAVE to get a cookie. They've also got more than just quick bites—the salads and sandwiches are phenomenal (and a lot of food).

    Very charming independent cafe--a lovely place to do work with delicious cookies! Outdoor seating is also a plus.

    Amazing. I'm partial to the Turkey Sandwich. I hear their coffee is out of this world good. Best sandwich I've had in DC. Period.

    They get me. Go for the cold brew + chocolate chip cookies. Addtl seating in the back "bar".

    Blind Dog gets cool points for having an autographed photo of Angela Lansbury on display in the bathroom. However, it has sadly disappeared recently. A Murder, She Wrote-esque investigation's in order

    Easily one of the best tuna salad sandwiches I've ever had. Lime soda is delicious and the staff is pleasant.

    Great spot to chill. Living room style seating and decor. Blueberry Roobios tea was delicious!

    The cookie's amazing, but the service=cold (literally & figuratively: not nice, and the egg & sausage on my sandwich was cold). Very few comfy chairs to get cozy in. Loud 2000s music (Pink, really?)

    Opt for the Italian sodas. The staff recommends a "dreamsicle" -- a mix of the blood orange and vanilla flavors. Delicious!

    There are so many seats in such a small space, it's an experiment in hipster personal space etiquette.

    Such a killer staff here. Always feels more like I'm at a friend's house than a coffee shop.
