Great experience on a very busy Saturday. After a 20 minute wait we got seated and enjoyed a great snack, drinks and service. The mimosas were delicious and the everything bagel with peanut butter and jelly was perfect. Loved the vibe and decor. Also fun seeing such a diverse community including lots of young families. Highly recommend this place read more

I seem to always have problems with this dc "chain", well chain in disguise. The food is safe for the most part. Classic diner food with an unnecessary up-charge for having a nice menu graphic design. I have never had a good coffee here. I ordered a cappuccino, with plant based mylk but I still have been able to get a good froth with my at-home espresso machine. As you can see, this is notttttt a cappuccino. They also don't do free refills on black coffee which makes no sense for a diner. At least the food is safe. read more

The Coupe is big and lots of natural light inside!! It's a great place to hang out and great for groups. The vibes get a 4.5/5. Bathrooms are basic but clean. With shared sink. The food was solid 3.5/5, nothing super amazing but good variety on the menu. The tofu tostada looked like a very healthy option (wish I got that) and the breakfast burrito also a hearty choice. Good on our friends for picking those. I shared a burger and the coupe royale. I really liked their scrambled eggs, it was not dry and tasteless like many but had a lovely texture. The pancake was a little dry though. The burger was a bit dry but maybe because it was well done? The service was a bit iffy... we all detected a little bit of "offness" like maybe she was overwhelmed and didn't have much patience.... and didn't like that we were hovered over during paying the check. Brought down the overall experience, but it coulda been an off day for her. All in all, not too bad! I know the group will return for the variety it serves and ease of getting a table. Not for my choice but definitely keep it in mind for medium sized groups! read more

As a longtime Yelp Elite, I rarely leave negative reviews--but I believe it's important to speak up when treatment feels disrespectful. I've visited this café several times, including once when I left an average review, but after today I won't be returning. I ordered a small oat-milk vanilla latte, expecting a quick, simple drink. Instead, the drink tasted like lukewarm milk, and when I politely asked for a refund, the experience became incredibly uncomfortable. The same barista from a previous negative interaction handled my order and greeted me with a smirk I should've recognized as a red flag. When I asked for the refund, she called over someone who identified himself as Martin, the assistant manager. He seemed unsure how to process a refund, told me the transaction was voided--even though it still appeared on my card--and then handed me a regular takeout receipt while insisting it counted as proof of cancellation. I didn't feel confident in either explanation. Throughout the exchange, both the barista and the manager spoke to each other in another language, smirked, and acted as if I was causing a disruption. At one point, the manager even said he "didn't want my seven dollars," which felt unnecessary and dismissive. Regardless of the price, any customer deserves a respectful interaction when a drink isn't right. The overall handling of the situation made me feel unwelcome, judged, and deeply uncomfortable. No customer should leave an establishment feeling that way. read more

Ordered the veggie quesadilla and it was pretty good and the portion size was decent! Service was average, but I ordered a margarita and unfortunately it was awful. Not sure if they gave me the wrong drink or what but it tasted like expired Mountain Dew with no tequila and it was so bad I couldn't finish it. Ambiance was fine. Super chill and the patio seemed nice! Would go back, just wouldn't get a drink. read more

So disappointed. I basically donated $6 for a "chai" that was milk with cinnamon. You guys should be embarrassed of yourselves for your service. Actually ruined my day to stop by. The "barista" will smile in your face, so I trusted her, and then I go to leave and look down like wtf. read more

I came here for brunch and while the food was average, and the decor was nice, service was very slow. I never got a water refill and it took a really long time to get the check. I have a sense that my server was overbooked. Otherwise tho, the food was ok. I had a salad that was fresh but lacked flavor and a tasty seasonal late. I did however love the big hash brown! Best part of the meal! I probably wouldn't purposely come back here but wouldn't be mad to be invited by a friend here. read more

Came here for Labor Day brunch and it was a solid spot! We were seated right away. Service was a bit slow. It took a minute to get drinks ordered and to pay our check at the end of our meal took a while. I had the hashbrown bowl and split a cheddar jalepeno biscuit, both of which were really hearty and filling! Everyone enjoyed their meals. They have a good range of brunch options and specials. read more

The Coupe - Hash Brown Bowl - Diners Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Beware the 10% service charge tacked on to bills. None of it goes to servers and you are expected to tip on top as usual. Food and atmosphere are fine, but not worth that. I don't return to restaurants that play this game. Add 10% to prices if that is what is necessary. Don't pretend you are cheaper than you are. read more

We came here wanting to sit at the bar and just order a drink and dessert, I'm not sure if things have changed over the years since we haven't been in a while but the bar was closed off so we opted to sit at a table. We got a latte, martini, and the French toast as our dessert. The French toast was a pretty large portion even for two people sharing, and had pretty good flavor. It's a pretty laid back spot if looking for a simple lazy Sunday type vibe. read more

This spot is perfect for a comforting Sunday brunch, with a wide variety of delicious options on the menu. The burrito is the standout--hearty, flavorful, and worth coming back for. It's a very casual atmosphere, but if you're looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a satisfying Sunday meal, this is it. Being a diner, the service was good for what it was and overall it is an affordable place too! read more

The place itself is huge. The coffee comes with a few animal crackers, which is a cute touch and pairs well. My favorite latte there is the Apple Crisp latte. The food is hit or miss. My personal favorite is the brie grilled cheese & tomato soup with a side of fries, especially on a cold day. read more

Visited here again and enjoyed it just as the first. Service was nice and quick, super friendly and welcoming. The space is large with lots of seating. The food was good too of course. I had the biscuit and gravy which was nice and seasoned and filling. I also had a scramble.l, with potatoes eggs and bacon. It was good. I wish there was cheese, that would have been a good touch. I didn't care for the peppers and onions. But overall good spot to check out for a nice breakfast. read more

Popped in when looking for a Sunday pick me up drink and super happy I did. I heard that it can get busy but when we went (around 4) there was tons of space. This place has lots of space which is nice for sure. Coffee was good. Got the iced latte with lavender -next time I'd get it a little less sweet but overall the flavor was great. My sister got a macchiato which she said was delicious. Drinks came out quickly and barista was kind and helpful. Would def come back to check out their breakfast menu! read more

The food, service and atmosphere are great! I would recommend it to anyone who is seeking a restaurant in the Pentworth neighborhood.

Service was great. Coffee and food were okay but well priced. I got the biscuits and gravy and they were good. My coffee was a little weird but not bad. read more

Good neighborhood staple with amole indoor and outdoor seating. Note: they do not take reservations. Dined for brunch. They have a decent kids menu. My little did not enjoy his grilled cheese, but he is a mere plebian. Nothing wrong with it, just not the right cheese or bread. White bread and american cheese, please - kid friendly. The Royal Jr on the kids menu is a good value. Anyway, their tomato basil soup is delicious. I found the cocktails a little small. The spicy watermelon margarita was more ice than drink, but tasty. I enjoyed their hashbrowns, which literally look like a thick brick. I was torn between the chicken and biscuit or the hashbrown bowl. The server recommended the hashbrown bowl. A little sweet and savory with a hint of spice. It was also plenty of food. My husband said his breakfast burrito was just ok. It was massive though. Another member of our party enjoyed her stuffed French toast. It looked very good. Been here a couple of times over the years and will continue coming. read more

Just had a horrible experience at this restaurant, not long before closing time (8 pm)...but before closing time (about 7:45 pm) : I sat outside on patio (street level) where I saw one other table being served. I sat for some 10 minutes. Waitress came out several times to tend to that table - seemed oblivious to me. I got her attention as she was about to go inside, and she said, You're ok?" I responded I'd like to get served. She went inside - and about 10 minutes went buy, withe neither she nor anyone else coming outside to attend to me. I spoke through a large window as she walked near on the inside. I again asked if I could order something. She asked if I had come inside first. I responded that I didn't and didn't know that I needed to do that. She responding telling me (as though she needed to educate me) that I should have done that...that I should have known to do that. She further said that the kitchen was closing in 5-10 minutes, essentially refusing to take my order. She was dismissive. I asked for the manager. I came in and spoke to the manager--who was respectful and who did restate that it was standard for folks to come in and then be seated outside, and that the kitchen was in the process of closing down (I showed her on my Apple Watch that it was 8:57 and they advertised 8:00 pm). But there didn't seem to be any signage saying customers needed to check inside first. But more importantly--even if I missed some signage, the waitress was aware that I was not being served - and just didn't serve me, and didn't send anyone else if she couldn't or refused to do it herself. I respectfully explained my disappointment in customer service to the manager, and was allowed to make an order to go - three minutes before the kitchen closed, the waitress blurted out as she passed the manager with a smirk on her face (as though she was holding back from laughing)...in the presence of the manager as I was describing the waitresses attitude and body language: "You're still at it?" The manager did acknowledge to me, when I asked her if she thought this was appropriate, "no." Hopefully it was addressed in-house. But the waitress acted arrogant, entitled - and I'm not sure if it was just her personality, a bad day, being racist...but whatever it was, it was not ok. I got my order. Ate outside on the patio with no drink...my carry out order that was supposed to be a delightful dine in. The food was good, but with the horrible service experience, the spirit of enjoyment of the food was dulled. I don't wish anyone to lose his/her job in such times as this...but this, was totally unacceptable and hopefully there were some consequences. That is not good for business in DC - regardless. No one apologized. The food should have been on the house after all of that. But it wasn't. I haven't been to this restaurant in several years. This really threw me off guard - and felt like it raised my blood pressure a bit. Reminded me of some nasty old times growing up in SC. Truly hope it wasn't that. read more

The food was average. It was not hot. Had to return it for some heat. We had shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles. The place is very loud. It has a lot of space, but to communicate you literally have to yell. Waiter was nice. Never refilled our water glass. Had to ask. I will not make a second visit read more

French toast was a big hit for 1 year old grandson. Very accommodating for children. Service very fast and friendly.

The stuffed French toast was amazing. The blueberry syrupy spread is pretty good. Came back just to re-order it. Staff was very friendly. They have a great selection and I'm excited to come back and try some other stuff when I'm back in town. However, the automatic service fee on top of a tip was not cool at all. Be aware of that before coming to dine here! read more

The service lacks speed and competence, the waiter was very rude, never greeted us or stopped by to check on us for extra napkins or refills, we ordered 2 Breakfasts, a coffee and chai latte that was very poorly made tasting more like cinnamon milk, coffee was old and cold, we finished our platters by the time we got our drinks, the table across us sat 10 mins later ordered and received there coffee drinks and special made drinks before us, waiter just kept making up excuses and being a smart ass, not once the GM or any manager showed up to our table to assess the situation, spoke to the GM once leaving establishment & upon explaining the bad experience it seemed like she didnt care at all kinda rolling her eyes towards the end. Service Lacks & you will be waiting for drinks for about half an hour. You better off going to IHOP to get this kind of Service. read more

3.5 stars! Great neighborhood spot! Came on a Friday for bingo and was easily able to snag a table in the bar area. Enjoyed their cranberry turkey brie panini sandwich with fries which was super tasty and filling. The fries especially were great! Paired it with a mocktail that was just okay but tried their chai martini which was really tasty. The atmosphere was super causal with really friendly cliental who are regulars and enjoy chatting which makes for a really nice friendly vibe. Service is on the slow side -- tried to order a cocktail at the bar and was ignored to some extent. Maybe an off night for them, had to get a regular to help me grab someone's attention. Wouldn't run back here but did really enjoy my meal and prices are super reasonable! read more

I ordered a chocolate chip waffle and bacon. The waffle had one tablespoon of mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top. That is NOT a chocolate chip waffle. I also ordered side of bacon. The bacon was limp and barely cooked! I asked them to bring cooked bacon. I ordered an iced latte with whole milk and an extra shot of espresso. They brought me what looked like a glass of iced milk! I took the glass back in and explained to them that it did not have an extra shot. And ask them to add a shot. they brought it back with slightly more espresso. It was still very pale. In total, the food was horrible. The service was fine and the atmosphere was fine. It also cost way more than it should have $45 for a waffle and coffee is way too much! read more

Do not go before 7:30am if you want to order from their menu. While the hours state they are open on the door and on the table placard that they open at 7:00am, when we got there at 7:05am on July 1st, we were rudely advised that the kitchen does not open until 7:30am. While they did allow us to sit at a table and wait, they made certain we knew we were not welcome there. If we were not with our granddaughter who wanted their chocolate chip pancakes, we would not have waited. We visit DC every two months and take our granddaughter there. As soon as we arrive, she asks if we can go. We will be looking to go somewhere else that has chocolate chip pancakes next time we visit! read more

Loved this place. Would definitely come back. The breakfast was excellent and the coffee was delicious. I had a cold brew w. Some oat milk on the side.

It was super loud inside so we decided to sit outside despite risk of rain. It's a lovely outside space- the only real source of noise being the road next to it. Our server was very busy and did not check in often but understandable because of how busy the inside was. I got the stuffed French toast and a Lavender Lemonade. I loved the lemonade but the French toast didn't blow me away but it was good regardless. Expect to spend about $20 per person. 9/10 read more

A great spot for brunch in Colombia heights! My friend and I came here around 10:30 am on a Saturday and we got seated immediately. One thing that stood out to me was the service - everyone was extremely friendly and eager to talk and give recommendations. The place is pretty big and there's outdoor seating as well. The vanilla latte was great! I would definitely come back for the coffee. The food was good, but nothing special. It was pretty standard eggs, bacon, and chocolate chip pancakes. The hash brown was my favorite part. Overall, I would come back for the coffee, and maybe try something else on the menu. read more

I have some food allergies, and this restaurant was shockingly and dangerously inept in dealing with them. Despite checking with the waitress about the ingredients, the kitchen sent out food that I could not eat, which I only found out about after I double checked with the waitress. Then, instead of using common sense and modifying the meal, they basically sent out a bowl of plain rice and spinach and charged me $15 for it. The kitchen was clearly sloppy and inconsiderate, and it could have been dangerous. read more
