Bread & Chocolate

"A snowy winter day I wanted a hot cuppa tea and a warm pastry. When I entered, there were two women standing on different sides of the counter, waiting, I noticed the sign that says please wait to be seated, So I waited patiently. 10 minutes is gone by and I haven’t been assisted nor recognized. The two women step to the side it seems that they’ve already placed their orders, and finally out of four people behind the counter, someone speaks to me. He let me know that I could seat myself even though the sign says I had to wait. I chose the seat at the counter. I waited an additional six minutes before I was acknowledged by a server. They were out of the tea that I wanted, so I had to pivot and find a back up. I wasn’t given a spoon, sugar or cream. They were also out of chocolate croissants, so I decided to go for the chocolate chip scone. My server told me that he was going to warm my scone and be back. Less than two minutes, he returned with my scone, tossing it on the counter. I touched the scone and felt the outside it was still cold, but yet the bottom was steaming hot. I asked the server if he warmed my scone in the microwave, He looked me in my face and lied, telling me no he did not microwave it. He put it in the oven. How did you warm a scone in the oven in less than two minutes and only the bottom is hot?? Explained to him that I don’t use a microwave so I know how an oven heats and a microwave heats, from the inside out and that’s what happened here. I let them know I did not appreciate him lying to me, and it just must not have been meant for me to eat there. I walked out back into the cold without hot tea or warm pastry in my belly. Definitely felt unappreciated as a customer AND to lie to your customers is unacceptable!"

"My wife and I recently traveled to DC. This was a great nearby breakfast diner. The food was excellent"

"Everyone is sleeping on this place. The food is great! The staff is extremely nice and welcoming. I cant wait to come back here! Thank you for having me ya’ll"

"I came here on a Monday morning at 7:30am. There was one other customer. The location is in a business building. The one staff person was quick to my table and took my order "The Big Breakfast". The coffee was hot and not bad. I also got a cherry danish. I wanted something different than the breakfast buffet at the hotel....watery eggs, steamed sausage, soggy hashbrowns. What I got was exactly what I would get at Holiday Inn or similar. Seriously. Watery eggs that were overcooked. Steamed floppy turkey sausage patty, and bacon that was room temperature, and obviously cooked long beforehand. Hashbrowns were blah. The danish was the best item I had and maybe 3/5. I paid $25 before tip for this meal and wouldn't do it again. Not good. ~~ Jack ~~"

"Found this place near our Hilton during Memorial Day Weekend, great find. Coffee was amazing, food was even better “according to the kids” and service was impeccable. Very kind staff and great conversation asking about our visit."
