"I walk up from Dupont Circle just to enjoy this lovely café. The food in the restaurant (and in the bakery) is high-quality. They even have some of the best baguettes in town. If you want to have breakfast with a friend, try to meet them here! It has a very cool vibe."

"Excellent food and great service! Each dish was well balanced and many interesting takes on classic dishes! Of course you have to get the bread since they bake it fresh there!"

"Ellē makes THE BEST cakes in the city, perfect sponge with lightly sweet and delightful texture of buttercreams, mousse, and/or ganache. It’s where i turn to every time there’s an occasion for cake!"

"I wandered into this little cafe last weekend after running some errands, and it turned out pretty nice. The vibe is cozy without trying too hard, and the staff was friendly in a real casual way. I got a latte and a breakfast sandwich, both tasted fresh and hit the spot. The place wasn’t too loud, so I could just relax for a bit and scroll on my phone. Prices felt fair for what you get. Only thing I’d say is bring a light jacket because the AC was kinda cool, but overall I’d be happy to come back again."

"I had the blueberry-ginger scone, cappuccino and brisket breakfast sandwich. The food was delightful, and the service was slower than I expected. We waited about 10 minutes for coffees and 30 minutes for the sandwiches. The food was definitely worth the wait, and the staff was sweet and helpful. It’s also in a charming neighborhood that has great people watching."
