Michael Spredemann: Loving the oaxaca omelet
Frank Valletutti: The Oaxaca Omelet is one of the best I have ever had, can't go wrong. Get the grits on the side. Orange juice is also a can't miss.
Angel Singleton-West: Definitely worth the wait. I had the chicken omelette (chicken, feta, spinach and tomatoes). It was amazing! The coffee was good too!

Julia C.: Order an omelette with veggies and gruyere - very, very good. Hot chocolates with whipped cream are the best I've ever had.
kiramonkey: Get the Greek omelet or Greek pasta with chicken & you'll have a happy palette! :-)
Russell Bannan: Get the greek omelet, home fries, and sourdough toast.
Natalie: Favorite place in D.C. Best breakfast (Brie, basil, & tomato omelette) and great bookstore & bar area.
Walter Whitaker: crab meat omelets were fantastic as was the bookstore. A friend who used to live near there and a cab driver both recommended and they were right! A must do in DC
Lenny Lesser: late night veggie option is a very good omlet

Kori: Usually love everything. However, stay away from the black bean and chorizo omelet. An entire un-drained can of black beans wrapped in a egg.
Corey Simon: The breakfast fare is good. I had an Open City Omelette, which was excellent. The pancakes are good and large, and the sides are substantial.
Earl Moore: Excellent coffee, omelettes, and waffles. Breakfast cocktails are awesome if you need one

Washington Post: Le Diplomate, under the care of executive chef Adam Schop, executes a perfect omelet, an expert steak au poivre, a divine apple tart, everything delivered by some of the best servers in the city.
David: lobster omelette for brunch!
Gregory Fisher: The vibe is great, the food fine. Burger is big-Mac style, not worth getting. Omelet is done well, but nothing special either. The fries and side salad were the show stealers, though.

Will Johnson: Gyros, Steak and Cheese, and ham and cheese omelette are very tasty. I imagine all their other items are just as good.
T Stark: Not your regular coffee place. Cafe Phillips offers a great variety of delicious sandwiches. Try the grilled cheese sandwich!
Angel B: The ice cubes for the iced coffee drinks are frozen coffee. Your drink doesn't get watered down. Brillant!
Lewis Wilkins: Breakfast was an excellent omelette with gruyère and asparagus. The French press coffee made with powdered Turkish coffee was exceptional. The friendly wait staff got orders switched up repeatedly.
