    I really don't get the appeal. It's like going to someone's house and sitting at a super small table and getting cheap food that tastes pretty basic. I guess if you're looking for a homey vibe and are a regular, maybe?? But no reservations, cash only, no menus (just up on the whiteboard, hard to read), and so crowded that it's difficult to move around...not for me. I will say, however, the service is fantastic. The staff is wonderful. It's so small, in an old row home, and there's only a few folks working and they do a great job. But, the atmosphere and food is not something I would go back for...especially with so many amazing options close.

    What a little hidden gem! Cute spot that's cash only. I love all the random decor. They have a solid menu, no frills, exactly how I like it. The staff are all very friendly and the chef even made sure we were happy with our breakfast. I had the French toast, sausage, and egg combo. It was exactly what I needed and hit the spot.

    Solid breakfast at a great price. Definitely a no frills place but it's worth a try if you're in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I visited on a rainy Saturday around 1pm and there was a steady stream of customers. I ordered the egg, pancake, and sausage plate for $7.95 I think! It was good. I would definitely go back.

    Flat biscuit and gravy

    Cash only, coffee served in paper cup and 45 mins wait to get mediocre biscuits and gravy. Not worth the 30 min wait to get table.

    The food was so good I forgot to take a picture and after about 2 mins our plates were clean. There was a wait as only three people are working (their ass off ) and it was entirely worth it. Kyle was our waiter and he was super attentive as he waited on the entire place. Absolute nostalgia when we entered the restaurant. Highly recommended

    Price is right

    I give this place 5 stars. I love old school diners. Family run since the late 60s. Has some charm and character. Family working hard to deliver great food and service. Cash only and be ready to wait a few minutes if busy. If you are wanting a fine dining experience move on. Glad I found this place and hopefully will come back again.

    1/2 Waffle, egg, and sausage

    great food, great prices, and great family that owns this little diner in dc!!! vintage vibes, good portion sizes, and a great place to stop to grab some cheap breakfast. we loved our silly server, super nice, and great family staff overall.

    I love a greasy spoon and this fits the bill, in a most unlikely place, just two blocks from the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court.

I went on a Monday before noon so it wasn't really busy. I will say the space is really open and modern which I liked and it's located within the Waterfront. My friend and I ordered a few dishes to share: Biscuits, Shrimp and Grits, and the Berry French Toast. Only one biscuit was soft and fluffy. The other was pretty dry and hard so we didn't finish it. The honey butter (I believe) was light and did compliment the biscuit very well. I just wished we could've enjoyed the same consistency across the two biscuits we ordered. The shrimp and grits was a solid portion. They didn't skimp on the jumbo shrimp or the sausage and this is definitely a dish you can share. I thought it was a little too salty for my taste but again, the meat in this dish was seasoned well. They used challah bread for their french toast which made it nice and dough-y. I thought this was the best dish that we ordered and again, can definitely be shared between two people. It's sweet on it's own, so if you don't have that extra sweet tooth, you won't need to add the syrup. I'd like to try this place again the next time I'm in town and maybe try out their mimosas and other entrees.

    My friend and I stopped in here after hours of exploring Cherry Blossoms and Bloomaroo at the Wharf…read more- it was late afternoon on a very busy Saturday. We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.

The bread was too chewy, which made it difficult to bite off because there was no proper angle of attack since the toast was large. With that many toppings, it really should have been pre-cut, especially for a takeout order. I could not even cut it properly with the plastic knife they gave. Flavor-wise, it was fine but underwhelming. The salmon was good, and everything seemed fresh, but the overall balance felt off. The cucumbers were plain, and the toast leaned dry, like it needed more sauce or spread to bring it together. For $18, it felt like a ratios problem more than a quality problem. Overall, it is not bad, but I left a little underwhelmed given the price.

And the number one thing that ruined, the shrimp and grits for me was the amount of Parmesan it overloaded the plate that the smell was disturbing and made the texture of grits not to my liking. There were also only three shrimps in the entire dish just very underwhelming. Also, I was not happy with the freshly squeeze orange juice. It's not good at all. In my opinion overall, I will rate them at five out of 10.
