What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"Extremely rude horrible customer service. Called to inquire about a cake. All I asked for was the full range of pricing on the cake the employee made an annoyed sound and I was hung up on. I provided the expected number of guests and was given a flat price but this individual was unable to share the size of the cake I could expect to receive. Even if your pricing is by number of people, you should be able to a simple 6" or 9" size estimate. This was a 2 minute phone call that could've easily been a simple interaction but they treated a simple question like a burden. Disappointed."

"Went here on a quiet Sunday morning. The barista seemed pissed off, no hello, no niceties. Rough asked “What do you want”. I got a cappuccino and it was served to me in an extra large cup. So much milk. They had no sugar or a stir stick to available. Literally tasted so burnt I went home and made my own coffee. I’ve never bought a coffee before and had to pour it out. What a let down. never coming back here. Also, only gluten free option was macaroons."

"Great place! Easy to order, big selection, and plenty of seating inside and out. Best croissant in DC? I will say it is the only croissant in DC but it was absolutely fantastic and I would be willing to believe it's the best. I would happily go back the next time I am in the area."

"I only stopped by for a cappucino, but to be honest about it, it tastes a little strange compared to, say, Elle Bakery's cappuccinos in Mt. Pleasant, or perhaps Rue Cafe just up the same street a few blocks away. The beans Le Caprice DC used for my cup taste, well, I don't wish to assume anything, so I'll just say the roast that ended up in my cappuccino made it taste a little differently than I'm used to cappuccinos tasting at cafés. For reference, my go-tos for espresso drinks are places like Tatte (several locations throughout DC), Elle Bakery (Mt. Pleasant), Yerevan Cafe (Adams Morgan), Saku Saku Flakery or Fresh Baguette (Cleveland Park), and so on. This cappuccino from Le Caprice DC didn't quite evoke the flavors and aromas that I'm keen to perceiving from my usual café stops. Also, one big hang-up for me from Le Caprice DC was that they offer one size: large. Not only that, but for just over $4, the amount they filled up my large cup with *milk foam* relative to actual liquid was immediately evident the second they handed the to-go cup to me. Upon waiting for the foam to dissipate a bit, the liquid revealed itself (pictured). I honestly hate it when cafés do this and fill your cup with significantly more foam than espresso. It takes skill to froth milk to a point where it becomes creamy with light froth (suitable for café art, for example). When you froth milk to the point when it's just air and bubbles, however, and then sell it to me as a size large...well...that's disappointing. About the service: minimalistic. They took my order, fulfilled my order, said thanks and goodbye. That's it. If I sat in to stay, I might have received a little more attention, but that's alright--I was just in for a quick stop and wasn't asking for any special treatment. **PS**: the Square/Block credit card reader at the counter follows the unfortunate trend of the increasing "guilt-trip" tipping option, where you have the "choice" to tip 15%, 20%, or 25%. Off of what total, I'm not sure as I did not look nor did I keep my receipt. This tactic is increasingly used shamefully towards customers for places that oftentimes don't offer much or any actual service, and it's known to increase irritation and play on a customer's sense of obligation to tip. Le Caprice DC implements this tipping mechanism, FYI. Finally, bsed off the cappuccino I purchased and my purchasing experience from Le Caprice DC Café Bakery, I'm going to give them a disappointing 2/5 stars. ⭐️⭐️ You'd be better off getting espresso elsewhere."

"Not so french but not so bad. Pastries were hit or miss. Pain au chocolat was good, but flavored cookies were bland, no flavor at all. Chairs and tables were dirty with food crumbs everywhere. Staff was nice and friendly."

"The giant almond croissant is memorable; it's crispy and almondy. And yes, it's called "giant"! I got a savory cheese turnover, and it's an interesting..."
