U.S. Capitol Cafe First Street and East Capitol Street NE, Washington, District of Columbia 20002

"Really good meal was a little bit pricey but because it's in the capital that's not unexpected. Overall I really enjoyed the meal the little chocolate capital was pretty cool. The drinks were 375 and I wish that they would lower the price of the drinks a little bit other than that it's all around a good experience."

"I was excited to try the Senate Bean Soup and while there was a ton of other good looking options, nothing would deter me. The soup was filling and satisfying, although not quite as tasty as it could've been. I made a small salad from the salad bar - there was a dude ahead of me that didn't seem to be aware I was waiting to serve myself behind him, that is until I was ready to go around him to serve myself some dressing, when he promptly blocked my way. What can you do, right? The salad itself was so fresh and delicious it just needed a touch of dressing anyway. I also had to get the Capitol Building dessert. It was pretty bland, but absolutely gorgeous!"

"Tried capital cake. Berries with whip cream bed in white chocolate capital bowl. $8.95."

"I enjoyed all of the different food stations and there was a large variety. The seating is nice, it's a large space. Food is expensive, but there is no tax since it is a federal building."

"Convenience is the only real reason to eat here. After a long day of touring the city & just coming off of a tour of the capital building, we needed some food. The food trucks are not around this area and the nearest restaurants are blocks away. So, we settled for the cafe. There were several options, including both Coke & Pepsi. I made the mistake of choosing the pepperoni pizza. The crust was partly burned on the bottom and nearly impossible to nut through with the stainless wear that was provided. Prices were more reasonable that the museum cafes, but only just. Restrooms nearby are very large & clean. Staff were friendly enough."
