Tips
- The place to take all visitors to D.C.
- Landing somewhere between a coffee shop, restaurant and social center, this location in Shaw puts local authors and artists in touch with one another over a quick bite.
- Free wifi wooo
- Insider tip: Get the tempeh sandwich. It's crunchy, sweet and peppery, the tempeh sandwich, layered with roasted red pepper, arugula and smoky tempeh (a fermented, firm protein derived from soy).
- Bitches say A! Affordable quality cuisine, attentive, skilled servers and a lively nurturing ambiance that makes you want to stay awhile.
- Hands down one of my favourite places in the world. Iraqi owned, Jordanian managed, socially with-it, every city should emulate B and P
- Two words. Vegan Nachos!
- I am sadden that they got rid of the Key Lime Pie, it was so delicious! Now I have to find a new place to get my sweet and tart fix!
- Order the shrimp and grits when you finally snag a table here. The shrimp are sauteed with asparagus, roasted corn, and tomatoes in a Cajun cream sauce alongside a basil grits cake.
- Their Chai Latte is delicious, and extra frothy. Great place to come alone or with friends.
- If you want to wake up, get the triple espresso "big daddy"!
- DC TAP Water is the bomb. . Great food and atmosphere
- Cozy and casual, and they offer a good range of vegetarian and vegan options
- Restaurant & bookstore. Inspired by poet Langston Hughes, this spot draws a funky and diverse crowd and serves up American-style comfort foods like homemade pizzas, meatloaf, hot paninis & a lot more
- American Sign Language open mic night Friday at 11 p.m. in the Langston room. Anyone with sign language knowledge may sign up by e-mailing djsupalee@aol.com. $5 admission
- The food is pretty good. Get the DC Tap water...
- Eat, drink and laugh. Sit at the table by the door to see and be seen...
- Ask for DC Tap water. You won't be disappointed.
- This place is dope! Cali has nothing like this. Black folk, good food, free WiFi and books! What more do u need?
- Busboys is one of the few places in the city that has late-night wifi plus a good selection of beer and food. Try the Poet pizza! Delicious!
