I don't personally love the neon signs and indoor-outdoor metal chairs but otherwise have no notes. The food is solid, the games & adult coloring books are plentiful, and the vibes are welcoming. I dropped by for a late lunch with a friend and it was pretty empty - just a few other tables occupied. This is the kind of queer space I wish existed in every city and I hope it succeeds for years to come!

I don't really want any more people to know about the most gorgeous coffee place in DC!…read more On a Sunday afternoon it was easy to find a table. The soaring windows and arched room were amazing. Coffee was good, but they can't heat up croissants so I would stay away from those. Friendly service, a stop on the museum shop on the way out, and a peek into the exhibitions made this really cool. Go along 2nd street and enter through the Folger's pretty back garden - you'll walk by by inscriptions of a Rita Dove poem in the garden. Check in at the desk and head upstairs. It's not the most convenient coffee shop but it's the most glorious!

I went to Sweet Lemon Café for the first time last week and have already been back, which says a…read morelot. This place feels like such a hidden gem and I can't believe I hadn't stumbled across it sooner. I really love their avocado toast menu. There are so many options and they are all priced really well. I tried the margarita avocado toast and it was a standout for me. So flavorful and fresh. And I added an egg! Chefs touch. The tea selection is another highlight. They have a great variety of hot and cold teas, and I especially appreciate that the cold teas actually come in a good sized cup instead of those tiny ones you sometimes get. The vibe is super homey and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely kind, which makes the experience even better. Today I tried the croissant egg sandwich and added sausage, and it was really good. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. Must stop by!

The line was incredibly slow, latte was served hot, & food was mediocre. The interior is stunning, bright, & I felt transported to another country. I appreciated all the cute little trinkets that were for sale near the register. I'd probably give them one more visit in case my first one was an off day.

The coffee shop is beautiful, but it is very basic coffee. We were staying at The Thompson, and…read moremaman was a very short walk from the hotel. While the shop looks amazing, the coffee was extremely basic. I ordered an iced latte and I could not taste the espresso. The cinnamon Kouign-amann was extremely dry, as was the chocolate chip cookie. When you tried to break the cookie in half it essentially exploded into crumbs. They do have a lot of seating, but there were many single people taking up 4-person tables so it was difficult to find a place for 4 of us to sit. The staff wasn't unpleasant, but they also were not very friendly. They did keep the line moving as fast as they could. Again, the shop is beautiful and bright. The branding on their bags is adorable. Their cutlery is wrapped and there is washi tape with their name on it holding it together. Their drinks and food are served on very nice dishes. I just wish that the coffee and pastries tasted as good as everything looks.

Came to this location with my husband and sister-in-law. We ordered the build your own omelette…read morewith roasted potatoes, french toast with berries, white chocolate chip coconut macadamia cookie, pain au chocolate croissant, blueberry scone, peppermint hot chocolate, and chai tea latte. Total came out to approximately $55. What's hot - Menu. Good variety and there appears to be something for everyone, even possibly vegans. There are sweet and savory options, eggs, french toast, salads, sandwiches, etc... - Quality. Excellent! All 3 of us really enjoyed the food that we ordered. Their french toast and omelettes are delicious. My husband particularly liked the maple syrup that was served with his french toast, because the maple flavor tasted a bit stronger than your average maple syrup. Their pastries are also delicious! Soft, good texture and not too sweet. Given the softness, my best guess is that their sweet treats are recently made. - Service. Pretty good. We did not wait very long for our orders to be ready. The hot foods, like the omelettes, french toast, and drinks, appear to be freshly made. - Price. Good value for money, given the quality and portions. - Location. Convenient location in D.C. However, given the location, be prepared for it to get busy quickly, which means decent lines and wait times. What's not - Interior space. Very tight squeeze inside. There are tables and chairs inside, but their biggest tables can only fit 4 people. If you have children with a stroller or whatever, be prepared to not have room inside. They have outside seating, but that's only conducive to when the weather is warm. This place appears to be popular, which means it can get packed very quickly and seating can be difficult to find. - Acoustics. They play relatively loud music inside, which makes it difficult to have conversations with those you're with. That the interior is small, the music travels easily, which does not help. - Omelette. Even though I liked the flavor of my omelette, it was rather thin. I prefer my omelette to be more weighty/fluffy in texture. Additionally, cheese is not automatically included with the omelette. I ordered mushrooms, red peppers, spinach, and bacon in my omelette. I mistakenly believed cheese was automatically included, but I was wrong. - Parking. Is not easy to find given the location. There is street parking, but it's very difficult to come by. Final Answer Would like to come back, but probably not a first choice given the tight squeeze of the interior. If I do return, would more likely than not order takeaway.

Made a reservation based on the Yelp Reviews for our anniversary & they did not disappoint at all…read more In my opinion this restaurant deserves 5 stars! To my surprise it is restaurant week so I was able to try a full 4 course meal for $45! I started with the oysters, which were so fresh and a great way to start my food journey with Maketto. Then I devoured the ginger chicken soup dumplings. For my main I have the drunken fried rice and the chicken fried sandwich (this one is not a part of restaurant week but please grab it. This is the BEST fried chicken sandwich I've had in my life). The rice in the fried rice was soft and so delicious! The server and host were so sweet and attentive. They definitely made our night feel extra special. The inside is intimate, but very spacious. I love the plants and sneaker wall.

I got there about 9:30 and I did have to wait in line, but it moved quicker than I expected. The BEC biscuit breakfast sandwich was the best breakfast sandwich I've had in DC. The biscuit was fluffy and the egg was cooked perfectly. It was like an egg cloud. If you want to eat this right away, I'd ask for it warmed up (I didn't realize it comes room temp at first, and I wasn't asked how I wanted it when I ordered). The scallion pancake croissant was also great. My husband enjoyed the ube honeycomb cake, but I felt it needed more ube flavor. I also thought the hojicha latte could've had more flavor - I like my hojicha to have that deep roasty taste, and it just didn't come through enough in this latte. It came unsweetened, so definitely ask for sweetener if that's how you like it. The menu changes every time so check their instagram to see what they'll be offering if you're interested in the bake sale!
