I would definitely come back for another amazing breakfast!. The area is small but it has a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend.

I tried the cinnamon bun latte and a cheese pastry, and both were delicious. The cafe has tons of seating, cute decor, and a menu that looks absolutely fabulous! I already know I need to come back and try more of their food. There's so much on the menu that caught my eye! Verdict: A charming spot for coffee, pastries, and a relaxing cafe visit. Definitely adding this one to my list to revisit!

We enjoyed our morning at Yours Cafe, right before we walked up the street to the zoo. We love that…read morethey had their own coffee bean grinder in the back! The coffee was for sure a stand out. We each got the espresso with whipped cream. Heads up, for a coffee focused place the cream was definitely out of a can. But the coffee itself was amazing. For food we got a pistachio beignet, and a chocolate and pistachio croissant. The beignet is definitely not a beignet- it was a bit more bread like, though it still tasted good. And the pistachio cream, though delicious, was so runny. The croissant was good but also had the same pistachio cream issue. It dripped out. For food I had the bacon flaming tart, which tasted amazing! One thing to note- the menu says capers, but it's scallions. That was a welcomed error, since I love scallions! We also got drinks, and I enjoyed my pistachio beverage. Overall, I'd say out of the options nearest the zoo, this is one of the best.

What could have been a totally bad situation turned out favorably when Bianca took control. She made sure the birthday girl had a cake for us all to enjoy. She even covered the food for our friend. Her positive energy in the midst of an uncomfortable situation was a testament to her leadership. In addition, our server, Naphtali, was very patient and attentive. His soft-spoken and peaceful demeanor added to our ability to ultimately have an enjoyable outing. Again, Bianca, thank you so much for all you did to make our evening enjoyable.

We stood at the podium for 10 minutes and servers and the hostess passed us several times without acknowledging us or sitting us. We had a reservation. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and subbed the reg eggs with egg whites. My dish came out great. I loved the spicy sauce it was accompanied by. My friend had the oxtail grits which she's had before and loved it. My rating is mostly for the initial walk on and experience. However, our food and server was good! There's street parking in the area but there's some homelessness in the area and feisty so just be diligent and careful.

The Ethiopian style breakfast is just scrambled eggs, and the beef was an extra cost. It was definitely very pricey ($40), with the beef being $9 add on for not that much beef.

I recently had brunch at The Pembroke, located inside the Dupont Circle Hotel, and it was such a…read morelovely experience. Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful staff, and delicious food -- definitely a spot worth putting on your brunch list. My date made the reservation for us, which turned out to be a very good idea because the restaurant was hopping! Definitely recommend making one ahead of time. We were both in the mood for a cocktail, but decided to explore the mocktail drink menu. He initially considered going with another coffee since it was still early, but ultimately went with an espresso martini. I tried the French 86, and both were great choices. The espresso martini was smooth and well made, while the French 86 was beautifully fruit-forward. And I have to give my date credit -- a man who isn't afraid to try my fruity cocktail! For food, we decided to share the avocado toast to start and added an egg, asking for it to be cooked a little more rather than very runny. We were glad we did because the toast was loaded with greens! It was definitely a little messy to eat, but in the fun, "this is actually delicious" kind of way. Nothing embarrassing... thankfully. He ordered the chicken and waffles, which he completely demolished. The sweet-and-savory combination was a big hit. I went with the French omelette, and it was delicious -- rich, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. I could only manage about half of it along with the salad! Overall, a wonderful brunch experience. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was attentive, and there were so many tempting dishes coming out of the kitchen that we kept noticing things we wanted to try. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu.

We sat towards the back of the restaurant in one of the circular booths. Love this setup so much because it's perfect for people watching. The interior of the space is really vibrant with a lot of natural lighting coming in and the cute furniture. You almost feel like you've been transported to France or something. While dining here I was able to try their, +cinnamon roll (it's HUGEEEE, def a shareable- 8/10) + passion fruit cocktail (7.5/10) + breakfast sandwich (10/10 - I was surprised by how much I loved it) + pancakes (8/10) + kale salad (7.5/10) I didn't get to try the salmon benedict but it looks delicious. The service was spectacular. Our waiter was extremely attentive and even the manager popped over to introduce himself and make sure that we had everything we needed. I loveeeeeed my time here and will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Thanks so much Pembroke team :)

They work hard and it's a difficult job. However, in this case, I have to admit I was pretty upset. My daughter ordered the red pasta off of the children's menu. She kept telling me it was too hot in spite of the fact that it had cooled down to lukewarm. Eventually, I tasted it, and realized she meant that it was extremely spicy. I told our waitress that our daughter had been given an arrabiata sauce by accident. In this kind of a situation, I realize it's not the server's fault, but nevertheless I expect some acknowledgment or apology. Instead, the server began to deny that it was actually a spicy sauce, and when I interrupted her and told her that it was in fact, very spicy, and she took offense to the fact that I had interrupted her, made that very clear, and proceeded to tell me that maybe they had mixed up the sauce with a normal marinara sauce instead of the very plain marinara sauce for kids. This is in spite of me being very clear that the sauce was extremely spicy, not simply a "grown up" marinara sauce. If it was an issue with my own food I wouldn't care. But this is a 4-year-old kid, and the server has no idea if there are allergies or food sensitivities at play. I would have appreciated if the server had acknowledged the problem, or at least taken my complaint about the sauce being spicy at face value, instead of denying it to me twice. They ended up removing the kid's meal from the bill, but I certainly left the restaurant with a bad impression because the server was more concerned with disagreeing with me than with the fact that they served the wrong dish to a 4 year old.

This was apparent in the warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone was working together as a team, learning, being patient, and you could see the growth and confidence happening in real time. It was really inspiring to see. Service was great - quick, friendly, and helpful. The food was very tasty and inexpensive - breakfast sandwiches were well-portioned and under $10. They also had lattes, coffees, and teas. They have an outdoor patio overlooking Rhode Island Avenue and seating inside with their nternet if you are looking for a workspace, meeting place, or coffee/snack shop. Emma's Torch seemed to be a community favorite with returning customers greater warmly and community activities and events posted in the store. This will become a regular part of our rotation!

Customer service was great and I was greeted immediately. It wasn't crowded but there was a steady flow of customers while I was there. I ordered the Breakfast Wrap, which was fantastic along with a Granny Smith apple lemonade. I would've never thought to put those two items together but it was easily one of the best lemonades I've ever tried. I had to order a second one when my daughter decided my drink was now for her. Speaking of, my daughter ordered the Nutella Stuffed French Toast and rated it a 100/10. While waiting for my order, I had a chance to speak with one of the head chef's and he told me about the culinary program their offer to teach refugees culinary skills. I loved hearing that tidbit about the shop and found it truly admirable. Overall, my only gripe is the street parking situation can be a little tough but it wasn't too bad on this particular morning. I would absolutely return.
