I go to Kramers to find more indie releases as well as feminist books. I really do enjoy looking at their odd selections on display. The music is rather loud and it is expensive, though. Not to…

I would do unseemly things to make possible a transportation of Kramer Books into my own neighborhood. Either that or hope that by some miraculous act someone decides to open a bookstore that combines…

KRAMER'S IS THE BEST BOOKSTORE IN THE CITY, with the exception of the National Geographic Specialty Store, but don't be swayed by a Geographer like me---I am highly biased toward things that look good…

Long considered one of the District's favorite places, Kramer's is a great place to have a quick bite and enjoy a book. It also has a rather underrated happy hour scene (dubbed the "intellectual…

I have not eaten here yet, so this rating is for the bookstore. I find the layout confusing, but it is a lovely place. I really like their selection of cookbooks, not your usual bunch of food network…

It was a good place to grab a later snack with friends, despite the crowded aspect. Although, if you get seated in the area that in the summer is opened up to the night air, you may be dealing with a…

Okay. So food and books happen to be basically two of my three most favoritest things in the world (after music of course), and Kramer Books combines them!! They have a terrific brunch place in a…

Fun place! I agree with everyone else -- it's a great idea, the combined bookstore and restaurant. I was expecting a simple, no-frills menu, but Kramer's actually has a great selection of dishes. The…

I like the whole idea of a bookstore/cafe because when you go to Kramer Books you are going to need something to look at while you wait forever for a table. The tables the are practically on top of on…

Since I live in San Francisco, I am pretty spoiled when it comes to culinary experiences. However, I was told this place had pretty killer deserts. Went there to find out. I would have to say pretty…

You can never find what you looking for in here. Well maybe that isn't what you are looking for. So after you browse around and find everything you aren't looking for, head to the cashier and they…

One of the few places I liked in DC. Great books, but the restaurant is wayyyyy too busy for it's own good. Often a waiting list to get a seat if you come in after 9pm and actually quite crowded and…

My double chocolate cake, with generous chunks of soft chocolate, was pretty much awesome. My Long Island Iced Tea (why not? It was only $8) was the strongest I have ever had --perhaps too strong,…

I love this place, more so for the bookstore than the cafe. How can you not like a place that has 'Everybody Poops" displayed in the front window? The location is awesome and I can spend hours here…

The concept of Kramer Books & Afterwords Cafe is really cool and I wish we had something like it in NYC. It's virtually one-stop shopping for a low-key night out. The fact that you can peruse the…

I know this is a DC staple place; but frankly I think it's overrated. Sure the location is great. But I don't go there to eat. Overpriced, grouchy servers, and they don't split checks if you have…

The food is good, if overpriced. I very rarely eat here though. They have an excellent, well edited draft beer list. The bartenders are always very nice and the prices are not terribly high,…
