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

Incredible food, impeccable service and local atmosphere. What's not to love?? Two day in a row for breakfast and the huevos rancheros are the best I've ever had. The hash brown bowl has the most amazing pickled onions and the mulled cider is truly European good!! read more

Came to this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon, per my friends suggestion since he had been here before. Parking was horrid lol. Street parking is rare. You should be able to find parking if you drive around a few blocks and walk. 4 starts because the main entrance was open the entire time, and it was a cool, blustery day so I was cold inside. Social distant tables. A lot to choose from on the menu. I got the breakfast platter or whatever it's called :) I opted for bacon, pancakes with a hashbrown cake and hard eggs. Food was filling. read more

This is a really nice, casual restaurant with a ton of seating. I ordered the huevos rancheros. The dish wasn't what I expected, more of a Western version, but it was actually delicious. It did take kind of a long time for my order to get taken, but the server was very friendly. Street parking here is pretty easy. read more

I went to Washington DC once and would come here for several days during the week I was there. I enjoyed getting the coupe royale every time I went there. I would also get an iced chai.

Wonderful lunch experience at The Coupe! We started with the Sriracha wings, which were saucy and well seasoned. For our mains, we did the taco burger and the fried chicken sandwich. The burger was tasty, though a bit overcooked. The chicken sandwich was excellent! They have happy hour every day until 6, so we were able to get some happy hour cocktails. The bartender , Gerald, was super nice, and the drinks were on point! The music inside was also really nice, but it was a great day weather wise, so we sat outside. read more

I've been here twice and loved it so I decided to bring my dad here for Father's Day. Even being a holiday, we were seated immediately, no long wait. We ordered our drinks, lattes, and they were cold. EVERY time I come here my coffee is cold. I hate that. Then we ordered our food and it took 30 mins+ to get to our food with no updates on the wait. I ordered the hash brown bowl and in my opinion, it was very dry and uneventful. I would not order that again. They do have a new menu with more options but the service and food was underwhelming unfortunately. 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

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

I like Starbucks coffee and also the macchiatos and frappes. This is not the place to order that. Coffee is only sold by the cup, so if you're a coffee drinker with your breakfast or brunch, that could add up. The pancakes are flat (which I do like), and bland. Even with the added ingredients, it was still bland, and the chocolate chips were all collected in the middle and not evenly dispersed, which gave them a bit of a burnt taste. The bacon and eggs were good. Maybe it's just how the biscuits were served with the gravy, but biscuits and gravy (here) are different from southern biscuits and gravy. This was served in a bowl and not on a plate. The biscuit was crumbly and there wasn't enough gravy. The place seemed pretty empty. There wasn't a few people there, but the were on laptops and video chatting. It was still quiet. All and all, my family and I won't be back. read more

Food average to/below average. Came on Monday night and there was only one poor woman bussing, waitressing and doing the delivery counter so everything took much longer than it should. We literally had to go find her for our menu, then for water and finally to pay the check. Seriously, the owners have the money , hire more people. And if people are not applying that means your wages are too low. We should be taking care of ourselves and our neighbors in this the most sh*ttiest timeline and it's incredibly anti worker to run this woman ragged doing the job of 4 people. Be better. read more

I've been here a couple times and enjoyed it both times! Last time I came on a Sunday morning for brunch and it was quite busy and today I had a totally different experience since it was a Tuesday. Pro tip for a weekend: you can join the online waitlist before you get there so you can minimize the wait time. It was about an hour long wait when I went around 11am on a Sunday. We didn't want to wait an hour so we ended up just grabbing food from the to go counter and sitting at their plentiful outdoor picnic tables. The coffee was delicious and the slice of carrot cake was HUGE! (Enough for 3 people to munch on). Pro tip for a weekday: it's a much more chill work from the cafe vibe on weekdays. It wasn't busy at all and I was able to get a seat right away. I was offered to sit at the breakfast bar where you can order on the toast app from a QR code or sit at a table with a server. I opted for the breakfast bar and although it was a spacious place to open my laptop, the bar stool was an awkward height and not the most comfortable seat to sit on for a long time to do some work. It was super quick and convenient to get my food and drink but I would recommend sitting at a table if you're going to be there for a while. This time, I loved the breakfast burrito and the iced lavender latte. read more

Ordered delivery thru the restaurants own website, they use toast tab. Food just never came. I had to call 4 times to finally get somebody to refund me 2 hours later. And was also treated to a condescending tone from their GM "SORRY you didn't get your delivery." As if I'm some kind of fussy Karen for asking them to be culpable for their own business decisions to outsource their delivery labor. This wasn't a complaint about the food being cold or wrong-- it didn't come at all. They collected my money, and didn't give me a product in return. And then they treated me poorly like I was annoying for wanted some kind of restitution. A terrible shame ! Wont be coming back EVER. read more

I have to say that my latte was a work of art, see pic. Also love the animal crackers that come on the side. I enjoyed the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The soup was exceptional, piping hot and creamy. The grilled cheese was cheddar and Brie on challah bread. Delicious, however the Brie was a little overwhelming. Will definitely return to try the many coffee and tea beverages. read more

I'm surprised I that considering I've lived in Columbia heights for almost 5 years now and I only just now discovered The Coupe. I went with my parents and we ordered a mix of items from the menu to get a good feel of what The Coupe is all about! Started with a cappuccino, iced coffee, and a green smoothie. All the drinks were fantastic! To start, we also tried the Mac and cheese as well as the Coupe Fries. The Mac and cheese was delicious (and I'm very picky about Mac and cheese). The coupe fries were good, but the short rib tasted like it had been reheated a few times. We ended up picking it all off and eating the fries without it. My dad also got a cup of the soup, but it was so thick it was more like spaghetti sauce. I ordered the huevos rancheros as my main and it definitely didn't disappoint. My mom got the spinach and feta quiche and it was light and fluffy and full of flavor. Highly recommend, although if you stop by on the weekend, be prepared to wait read more

This might come as a shock, but I'm not a really a brunch person, which explains my rating. Came on a warm Sunday afternoon, able to sit outside and ordered their turkey, apple and Brie sandwich with fries. The turkey was more a processed deli meat instead off freshly roasted and there was barely any apple on my sandwich. The best thing was the cranberry mayonnaise to give it some flavor. I also wasn't impressed with the coated French fries either. Now the positive things is that our server was friendly and my ice green tea refreshing. They also serve some of the best hash browns that I've seen. Tip: get the hash brown and skip the fries. My date devoured his steak and perfectly scrambled eggs and hash brown. Also their pastries must be good because they were all sold out by 2pm! Overall I would come back and try the brunch menu. read more

I've lived 2 blocks away from The Coupe ever since it opened and can say it consistently had the worst service of any place I have frequented over that time. The food is fine but it often takes close to an hour for things to come out of the kitchen. This was true 10 years ago and true now. What is different is that they now charge different prices than what is on the menu. That $18 burger will Have some BS service charge on it that pushes the price to $20 or more. read more

First time here. Definitely won't be my last Amazing Lil spot I stumbled upon. First of all they do breakfast pretty late in the day....I ordered at 3pm I grabbed the spicy bloody Mary (top notch), and the coupe meal (hashbrown square, 2 eggs any way, your choice of meat-i got bacon, and choice of bread. I got stuffed French toast) THEN I randomly got a free mocha. This place is classy. Was quiet (which I like), swanky but not pretentious, and the food was deeelicious read more

My husband and I had breakfast here last weekend. Boy are we so happy we did. Everything single we ordered was so good. I originally wanted a London Fog unfortunately they were out but the waiter suggested a Golden Milk. That was a great suggestion! I loved that latte and will definitely get it again. I got the vegetarian omelette with a side of bacon. My husband got the Coupe Royal with a biscuit. We ate it all. Just so delicious. The place is also adorable with indoor and outdoor seating that is dog friendly. And the staff was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend and will be returning soon. read more

Our favorite neighborhood diner. Great food, good prices and some fun drinks. Be prepared to take a nap afterwards!

The Coupe is located at Columbia Heights, and offers breakfast all day, brunch, salads, and other general dishes. There are also beverage options such as coffee, teas, beer, wine, horchata, etc. I have been here several times but my most recent trip was for dinner and I got the sriracha wings and coupe fries. 3.5 rating, only because the wings tasted a little dry after a few minutes of sitting out on our table. However, it was quite tasty and flavorful. The coupe fries was really good too, but also had a very different texture (became a little hard) after a few minutes sitting on our table. Maybe for slow eaters like myself this texture change is a little issue however if you're one to wolf down your meal as soon as it arrives then you might not notice this! The ambience is amazing! There is inside and outside seating, and a separate bar seating inside too. I have seen all age ranges visit this restaurant and can say it's pretty good for a family outing or just with fr read more

So don't ever be called the coupe and the chicken ain't on point. It was hard and there was only spicy sauces. And that was how all the food was. Over cooked. The staff are young and don't properly understand how to be great hosts or waiters. Don't be rude and consider people's comfort when providing service. Our waitress was so busy that it took almost 45 mins to be able to put in the order for our actual meal AFTER we received our appetizers. And that was sorta over cooked. My French toast looked burnt. I really think the owner should come thru and see how the experience is. Bc I know I'm not the only one who saw some cracks in the service. The mimosa was strong but not good tasting. The best thing was tue smoothie. It was amazing and well made. Ohh. And the food ran right thru me. read more

This place used to be great. We've been coming here for six years since we moved to the neighborhood but recently it has just gotten worse and worse. Today we went in for breakfast. They sat us, and we sat for 30 minutes. The table next to us was sat after and had a server and drinks before anyone ever greeted us. I asked for a grilled cheese with bacon? I got toast with bacon. I sent it back and they brought me the same sandwich with cheese thrown on that went in the microwave. The manager didn't come to apologize or Anything. read more

I had a wonderful breakfast today. The food was incredible. As you can see from the photo , the amount of egg and bacon on the sandwich was generous and the salad was fresh. The salad had just the right amount of dressing on it and was not swimming in it. The inclusion of a salad for this price was a nice bonus. The service was very good. The one issue I had which is a pet peeve of mine is that they charge for a refill of drip coffee. I understand that they have a large number of people coming in to work on their laptops for extended times and unlimited refills would be a money losing proposition. But for someone that is eating , one refill after the meal is not unreasonable. Charging $2.50 for a refill is excessive in my opinion. Will this stop me from eating here again , No. I plan on eating here again tomorrow it was so good. will it stop me from getting a refill , Yes most certainly. Update - ate here again the next day and had the breakfast burrito. This is a picture of 1/2 of it. You can see how much meat they have inside. Very nice value for money. Todays meal was just as good as yesterdays but alas didn't get that second cup of coffee. Couldn't justify paying $2.50 for a refill when the first cup cost $3.00. read more

The service was fair. The host insisted that there wasn't a table available outside when we could clearly see a table open, and after we were seated inside and someone from our party walked in and asked about the outside table, they said it was available, but that since it was brunch time and we'd been seated, we couldn't move. The policy didn't make sense. The interior had a nice vibe and varied seating. The waitress was friendly and rather attentive, but the food was nothing to write home about. The brussel sprouts were overcooked to the point of seeming charred and didn't have much taste. The chicken & biscuit dish was just ok, though very filling. The gravy could have had more flavor. read more

Nothing negative to say about this experience what so ever! The food was simply amazing. Fresh ingredients seasoned to perfection.

I absolutely love it here. I was brought here recently by my cousins while I was visiting DC, and had the best experience. The food is top tier, I didn't try anything I didn't like and we ordered a lot of food. I highly recommend the sriracha wings, the chorizo scramble, and the hash brown (still mad I didn't order two of the hash browns). The food was so fresh and tasty. It's so bright and comfortable inside. The staff is all so nice, you leave feeling like you're friends with everyone.

Decent brunch place but poor service. I ordered the coupe special. The scrambled eggs were cooked nicely but the sausage was way over cooked and not a nice texture. The famous hash brown lived up to the hype! Great crispy texture on the outside without being burned. Well seasoned but not too salty either. The pancakes were nothing special and the syrup had an overly fake taste to it. The service was slow and inattentive. For example, my sister asked for milk with her coffee and was brought cream. The server wasn't friendly or professional and just made me uncomfortable asking for things as she seemed put off by requests...which seemed given the nature of the job. read more

First time eating in a restaurant in two years I think it seems. At least a year and a half. Anyway met a friend in DC on a 90 is degree day. Decided to sit inside since it was so hot out. Well I was sweating which seemed weird to me but I thought maybe I just is taking me a while to cool down. After our food arrived the waiter (who was nice byw) said oh sorry the air doesn't work on this side of the restaurant. That fun fact would have been nice to know before we were seated so I didn't think I was having hot flashes! The food was good. I can and would rather eat breakfast brunch all day so I couldn't complain about the menu at all. The hibiscus mimosa was good and eh at the same time. I probably could have been ok with just water but I thought this is a special occasion of getting out of the house so ok. The kale in the kale salad could have used some massaging. But overall I really enjoyed by food. The hash brown was on point. It was a little salty but it balanced well with the other food. Compliments from the three of us. I wouldn't mind visiting again if in the area and in a more comfortable seat. read more
