    mixed berry crepe w latte ! -- 8/10 really good!
    Delana A.

    I love coming here to work or just enjoy a yummy lunch. Their menu is pretty big & I have never ordered anything I didn't like. The coffee is good and strong, their crepes & pastries are really good-- they keep me coming back! The service can be hit or miss & the overall vibe of the cafe is typically pretty quiet. They have plenty of seating & free wifi!

    The cafe is nice we had the chocolate beignets and they were okay not really beignets more so a donut with chocolate filling. We had an espresso and it was good. Service was quick I had a toasted marshmallow hot chocolate nothing really "toasted marshmallow" about the drink in my opinion.

    Cold brew and blueberry multigrain muffin
    Margeaux D.

    First, the map is deceiving, this is a long walk from the metro station but well worth the hike. (There are buses that one can hop on all up and down King Street for free, that I later found out after I got here). This place is on a side street. It is a little dark in the place but it's got cozy lighting like an old speakeasy soft glow style. (Which may be more difficult for me if I was with another person because of lip reading, but because it was just me that day it was fine). There are tables and bar counters to eat at. The person working the counter was very helpful and I asked for suggestions of snack. I had a cold brew and a blueberry multigrain muffin. It was solid and hit the spot! Definitely wish the coffee came in a larger size. Would come back here for a meal when I have more time.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Ebony L.

    Walking into Cafe Du Soleil felt like stepping into a little pocket of warmth and charm. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles, making us feel right at home. Their service was attentive yet relaxed--exactly what you want in a café where you can linger and enjoy the moment. The ambiance was just as inviting, with rustic wooden tables, soft lighting, and the perfect level of background chatter. It's the kind of place that makes you want to settle in with a good book or share a meal with someone special. Now, let's talk about the food--because wow. I ordered the Florentine Quiche, and let's just say there's no picture of my dish because I devoured it before I even thought about taking one! The crust was flaky perfection, and the filling was a rich, creamy blend of eggs, spinach, and cheese that melted in my mouth. Paired with a beautifully spiced Chai Latte, it was the kind of meal that just made my whole morning better. My partner went for the Chicken Sandwich and gave it two thumbs up. The chicken was tender and flavorful, but the real star was the remoulade sauce--a tangy, creamy delight that brought everything together. All in all, Cafe Du Soleil is a gem. Great food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back (and maybe this time, I'll snap a photo before inhaling my food... maybe).

    Unassuming french cafe tucked away in a small building off of Old Town Alexandria. The space is pretty neat/stylish, and really makes you feel as if you are at a small cafe in France, though it is a little darker than I would prefer Pretty comprehensive menu of drinks, hot food, & pastries. I came here for breakfast with my GF and we each got vanilla lattes, I got a crepe, she got a coffee cake pastry, and we split a BEC. Everything was delicious Counter service, and all of our food and drinks were prepared extremely quickly

    If you want a real crepe from a French chef, this is the place to go. They have sweet, savory, and different salads and breakfast foods if you don't fancy crepes. The service was great. You order at the cashier and then the servers bring the food to your table. I definitely recommend a plain iced latte. It was delicious. They also offer wine to take home and I will definitely do that next time.

    Breakfast bagel & potatoes.
    Nicole R.

    This place was fantastic! The coffee was great and not overly sweetened, french toast was AMAZING, breakfast bagel also AMAZING, and the breakfast potatoes were buttery, savory goodness! Highly recommend checking out this little gem if you're in Old Town.

    Matcha
    Amaya H.

    My family and I went here twice on our trip to DC. On the first day, we each got Iced Matchas with lavender. They tasted really good! We also ordered 2 nutella crepes but the crepe tasted eggy. My grandma ordered a vegetable crepe since she's a muslim vegetarian. Unfortunately she found a piece of meat in her crepe! She had already ate half of it so who knows if there was more. We came back the next day to have the tasty matchas again. But they looked and tasted different than when we had them yesterday. It was pretty much just milk with a hint of matcha. Both times the service was pretty fast. The people were nice and gave us a refund after the first incident. It's also cute inside. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

    This is the perfect place for a causal coffee meet up. Their chai lattes are really good and they were pretty fast during a Saturday morning rush.

    A delicious breakfast and coffee spot in the heart of Old Town! Though a little pricey, their crepes, quiche, cappuccinos, and amazing service will make your visit well worth it. I've never felt like more of a "city girl" than sipping a hot Americano from a REAL mug in the window of old town, before getting it to-go along with the best smelling breakfast and heading down those historic cobble stone streets. This is the new go to spot for me and mine!

    Madame Croque
    Michael W.

    Charming, classic little cafe south of King in Old Town Alexandria. Very French-forward style and delicious food offerings. Croque-Madame was perfectly delicious. Sip on a tasty latte or mocha. They also have decadent crepes, stuffed with various delights! Counter service was friendly and welcoming.

    I really enjoyed this place! The ambiance is so calming and inviting. There are plenty of tables to space out and have either a quiet reading moment or meal alone or sit and gab with your friends. My table ordered scrambled eggs with toast and turkey sausage and a smoked salmon crepe. Everything was warm and yummy. The meals weren't groundbreaking but they were tasty and enjoyable enough to come back! They have a smoothie and coffee menu and the baked goods were yummy and served warmed. Overall, a nice spot!

    Je Suis Heureux Crepe
    Lesley G.

    The food was great. The service was fast, I love that you can order first and then seat yourself. I ordered a savory crepe, but the quiche was to die for! Overall, it was a little pricy for the portions but everything was fast and very fresh. Found this spot because it catered to all my friends cravings while on vacation!

He was in the mood for Lahmacun (sounds like Lahamajoun) super thin, crispy pizza topped with a mixture of minced meat with peppers, tomato, herbs, and spices. More fine, light, and delicate than the typical American thin pizza. The service, drinks, and food were beyond stellar in Narman. We felt like the only customers there and were waited on by many staff. The highlight of the day there was their pizza and their beverage presentation and flavors. We came on a weekday night and were the only people there in the end. My husband was impressed at how upscale the restaurant was and it was the finest Turkish restaurant he ever visited. He said it was similar to the hotel dining place he lived at in Turkey. This was our first restaurant in downtown Alexandria and one of our best experiences in Alexandria. The Lahmacun was the finest Turkish pizza my husband ever had. He ordered three of them! Each pizza was served on a large wood board with extra toppings on the side like lemon wedges, cilantro, and onions. They are so fine and thin that you can roll them up to eat. We had to put some of the last pizza aside for take out. I ate the takeout piece and was very impressed how delicious it was after being in the fridge overnight & re-heated. I loved the flavors of the Lahmacun and I don't even care for pizza that much. It is my most preferred pizza in my life ever next to the Crazy Ex in The Thirsty Goat in Clarksville, Tennessee. I ordered a Turkish dish with a rich and ancient history, Hunkar Begendi, or "Sultan's Delight." It dates back several centuries, and it was prepared for the sultans and high-ranking officials, and was served during special occasions and celebrations. The Hunkar Begendi had lamb and velvet soft eggplant with spices. I ordered it with a side of rice. It was very delicious and unique. Yet the Lahmacun despite its simplicity stole the show and cost 1/3 of the price of the Hunkar Begendi. For my beverage, I ordered The Elma. It has a stunning presentation in a smoke filled glass box. The Elma is a beverage with Bourbon, Peach liquor, vanilla maple, Apple butter,Lemon juice, and Apple cider. You have to watch the videos of how it is presented at the table. At the end of our dinner, they played happy birthday and surprised my husband with an ice cream and pumpkin dessert with a candle. So wonderful & heartfelt. It was a fascinating and flavorful dish. The pumpkin tasted like sweet potato & was different. This is a must see place for Turkish cuisine and the finest restaurant service. Prices are low to fair for such high quality food and service. Five Stars.

We walked in and were blessed to immediately get a table despite being told it may be an hour wait on the phone. We received a menu and ordered the breakfast burrito and the biscuits and gravy. Our food came extremely fast which surprised me and makes me wonder how much is prepped ahead. My friend received the burrito and it was very greasy so she requested to order something else. My biscuits and gravy were yummy. The eggs were cooked well and the fried chicken was the star of the show. Easily this was some of the best chicken I have had in a while. I overall enjoyed my meal but I wish there was way more gravy as there was only a little bit layered on top of the 2 biscuits. My friend was given a menu to order something else and this menu was different and had dinner options. It was 4:30 when we came and not more than 15 minutes of difference before receiving a menu the second time so we were surprised but eager to look. My friend ordered the half chicken which came with collard greens and grits. Since there was a different menu I wasn't aware of I wanted to order something additional and opted for saving the brunch meal I ordered for breakfast tomorrow. I loveeee scallops so when I seen them on the menu especially over grits I had to order it. The scallops were cooked wonderfully and I loved the composition of the dish with the creamy grits and the acid from the tomatoes and the smokiness of the sauce and grits. My friend loved the half chicken and after trying it myself we both agreed Matt and Tony's knows how to cook chicken well. The greens had nice flavor but were a little dry and needed some broth/juice from cooking. Again the grits were delicious and creamy with a bit of smoky flavor. I also had the Peso Cocktail which was sweet with a nice kick. Overall I enjoyed this restaurant and would come again and absolute what I ordered again as well. Coming here next time will be hard cause I'm definitely going to be battling between wanting what I already had and trying something new.

All of the hip young girls in high school recommended this place to me and my friends and lets just say, they have never been more wrong. My girls and I went this weekend for a birthday brunch. I wanted a crepe, but when I saw it was 17 DOLLARS to slap some Nutella and strawberries on a piece of crepe is outrageous. I ordered a "Continental Breakfast," which, with tax and tip, cost me $30 DOLLARS. I wish you could have seen the look on my face when they gave me a plate of rabbit food. All 6 of us looked at the plate and laughed. Seriously, my 5 year old neice can eat 3 times as much of that in one sitting. So, in what world would that be enough food for a grown woman? My friend then went on to order the French toast for a grand total of $36 DOLLARS. Mind you, there was only one piece of toast, and the Inside was raw and soggy. Tasted like eating wet, soaked toilet paper. On top of the overpriced food and small portions, our "server" came to our table for a total of ONE SINGULAR TIME. My friend had also ordered a Chai Latte. Surprise, Surprise! It never came, and they still charged her for it. I think the nice man who brought us our food could see the look on our faces when we received our food, because he then brought us a free side of French fries. It is a huge problem when the french fries were the only sufficient thing I put in my mouth at this restaurant. I please, genuinely beg all of you to NOT waste your money. I promise there is anywhere else where you can get a crepe for double the size and half the cost. Once we left, we went down to Call Your Mother, the Jewish Deli, to get more food, as all of us left with our tummies still rumbling. Mind you, a full bagel sandwich and coffee cost HALF THE PRICE of one meal at Fontaine. Horrible. Mind you, it is 2 days later, and I am still thinking about this. I fully created a Yelp account just so I could leave a review. I think I would have a better experience eating an IHOP Continental breakfast than whatever I put in my mouth at this restaurant. Not worth the hype at all. Save your hard-earned cash and be a big baller elsewhere!
