Touring the neighborhood around Dupont Circle, my kids and I stumbled upon Kramerbooks & Afterwords Cafe on Connecticut Street in Washington, D.C.
Kids were hungry and we seated ourselves on the outside covered patio. Too late for lunch - too early for dinner, we decided upon appetizers. Hicham was our server.
Pow Pow Chicken (appetizer) for me - which is simply pow pow chicken with toasted peanuts and cilantro at $12.00; and Macaroni and Cheese (appetizer) for each of my three kids - which is simply macaroni and cheese with white cheddar sauce, elbow macaroni, and a bread crumb topping at $10.00 each. Water as our beverage. Total price with tax was $46.20.
Food was timely prepared and very tasty. Kids had no complaint and ate everything on their plate. The bread crumb topping was a delightful addition for my twins as they never get that at home when Mom makes macaroni and cheese. As for the Pow Pow Chicken, you could taste the heat and savor the sweetness. As an appetizer, I enjoyed it.
Outside patio was well kept and clean. The cafe wasn't that busy when we arrived but started to pick up as we left. Hicham - our server - was friendly and polite. Prices were competitive and not offensive.
Interesting little place - wish we had more time to check out the book store itself.

These reviews are hogwash. The food here is absolutely awful as is the service. If you want a romantic spot for a coffee and dessert then this place works but if you want to eat an actual meal you are better served by Bistrot du Coin.
