Currently, the vehicle and the tent is located near DSW. The menu seems to be super limited, only offering water bottles, the petit fours, the pocket pies, and the cookies.

There was literally a long line, wrapped around the Pentagon Row; some fans came with their Hello Kitty paraphernalia, such as towels, umbrellas, and head gear. +super limited cafe menu +friendly staff

Vernon Avenue are filled with vendors of antique, vintage, thrift, artisan, clothing, homegoods, and more. We also feature local bakers and coffee roasters, and weather-permitting we have adoptable pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

Everyone was very polite and/or enthusiastic to help us, and it was pretty packed even though it was very cold outside. The costs of everything were definitely a bit overpriced, but what else can one expect from a place as such in DC? The two of us got the BBQ ribs with a side of mac n' cheese, and an order of the crab cake sandwich alongside some skinny fries. The ribs were too dry and oversalted, and came with a similarly-dry cube of cornbread and a small cup of pickle slices atop a small scoop of coleslaw, of which none were finished due to the disappointment in taste and texture. The mac n' cheese was a bit gritty, and could definitely use more cheese and/or cheese sauce, but was decent. The crab cake sandwich was fantastic in both texture and taste, and was gobbled up within a minute, and the fries were also picked clean, being very freshly made with just the right amount of frying time. Will definitely come back to try more options, especially the very highly recommended donuts!

I see a cleaner lady! think perfect she must've went in and cleaned it! NOPE ‍ first one we went into blood? or poop? was all over the toilet! okay! so I have to move my toddler back and tell her no! then the next 2! not any better toilet paper all over the seat! the floor it was disgusting. so we literally just left looked around the store part for a moment still felt grossed out left and immediately used hand sanitizer in the car. now! this being said I've closed places before so I don't blame the morning shift lady at all. but closing! are you serious? that was horrible! it was gross and honestly a healthy hazzard. I will say the one in La was so amazing that's what made us want to go back. I just doubt I will ever do it again in DC.
