Arnaud GelbJune 18, 2013Great cuisine (albeit overpriced) and it can get very crowded on weekends. But if you want to eat a real french croissant, this is one of the few places where you can do is in DC.
Food NetworkApril 18, 2013Crêpes are the way to go here. You can even start a meal with crêpe “chips,” served with apples and melted brie. Via Cityeats.com Read more
saraDecember 18, 2017Hard to get a table for brunch on most weekends, but worth the wait. Great coffee & good food. Nice cozy atmosphere.
Jose Carlos MarucciOctober 19, 2015The dinner and crepes were great. Attentive and friendly service. A nice place for dinner with my beloved wife on the last day of vacation.
Jessica PuglieseNovember 11, 2017I went for breakfast by myself and loved it. The service was great and the food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back.
TseFebruary 25, 2012Last tango, Lorraine & ice cream are awesome sweet crepes. Budapest & & Florentine for savory. The mocha coffee drink was good to. But seating can be tight!! Try to get a seat early
Try their Mariesel Crepe (savory chicken crepe), Bruchetta, butternut squash soup and finish your meal with their strawberries/Nutella crepe!!! Soooooo good!!!!

Steve CimorelliFebruary 19, 2014Cozy atmosphere and excellent French cuisine. Not a huge selection, but everything's expertly prepared. Be sure to leave room for dessert!
samFebruary 6, 2015The nutella espresso isn't their only good coffee -- the french press is great. Brunch in general is very underrated here.
Abrar AlsuwainaSeptember 13, 2016First time to try this french place, was great experience besides the service is good but not welcoming that much, kind of moody staff
Emily EllisJuly 10, 2013Had the Nutella Espresso, the apple and Brie crepe chips, and the Florentine crepe. C'etait magnifique!
Bailey MichaelJuly 29, 2013Nutella and strawberry crepes are too good! They also have a great chicken salad.
Nour KhouryNovember 27, 2012A must try during dead hours! The zucchini soup has a home made feel! So healthy
If you'd like a sweet fix in addition to your caffeine fix, I highly recommend the Nutella Espresso. WARNING: you can't have just one, unless you get the Dulce de Leche Espresso, too.
Annie GillmanAugust 6, 2012Great for a lunch in georgetown - I tried the half sandwhich / half salad
Rachel RusnakFebruary 21, 2010Awesome restaurant, great ambiance! French press coffee and nutella crepes are to die for. Budapest savory crepes are delicious too.
Kate TalbertJanuary 19, 2013The place is tiny, so there is normally a wait since they don't do reservations... But it's always worth it.
Patrick GormanAugust 28, 2012Nutella espresso is without a doubt the greatest invention known to man
Ronaldo HidalgoJune 30, 2013Food here was average brunch food, smoked salmon Benedict was pretty tasty but the server behind the bar seemed to be off in her own world. Oh and the Nutella espresso mediocre.
Ben SackFebruary 19, 2010Best coffee I've had in DC - the dangerous part though is that everything else is good too.
Gregory OttoJuly 13, 2010Ethopian Blend in a French Press is some of the best coffee I have ever had.
Lacey CappsFebruary 21, 2016Everything you expect it to be paired w/ french press coffee, savory crepes ... don't forget the Bonaparte Fries, the aioli is addicting!
