Kafe Leopold

Kafe Leopold felt like back home, Europe. Everything was excellent, from the friendly stuff, to the delicious food, the cozy yet light atmosphere of the restaurant. I was traveling to DC for work, and I can easily say that visiting Kafe Leopold was the highlight of my trip, because it took my mind off of work. Also, regarding food, it is done not just right, but to perfection! It also helps that the location is perfect whether it’s a weekend brunch, or a dinner date. Finally, as a designer by trade, the aesthetics of everything were carefully thought out and curated to elevate the entire experience for any customer, which is an important factor for me personally, as the lighting, interior decor, ceiling, chairs, tables, and even the tabletop accessories were spot on. I definitely recommend it. You will not be disappointed! Enjoy!

Finally, a place with plenty of options to enjoy some coffee time! This European-like bistro has great cakes and coffee, served at all times. We tried the sachertorte (which was pretty similar to its original Viennese sibling) and the Napoleon (amazing, can’t recommend it enough). The coffee was also excellent, and the service was great. I’d definitely recommend coming here if you want to sit for a while and drink a great cup of coffee while enjoying the atmosphere

Please, do yourself a favor and come Brunch at Kafe Leopold. Indulge in the Italian Breakfast where your tongue will meet the rich balance between the umami of the mushrooms and the salty sweetness of the polenta. Hidden in the menu you’ll find the Elderflower Soda, which is a must try. Don’t forget to order from the pastries section. The Lemon tart will dissolve with rich citric notes in your mouth and The Napoleon will make you feel as the emperor himself. Please do match the pastries with a tea or a classic coffee. Ah, don’t forget the Madelines which cost 85 cents and are baked freshly every morning. At last, don’t worry about the prices… we were a party of three and ordered everything we desired for less than a 100 bucks. Again, do yourself a favor and visit Kafe Leopold… one last thing, ask for the best server: Oyuka; her recommendations were right on point and she makes you feel at home.
