It was a great place to grab brunch, with just the right vibe, amazing pastries options, and a varied menu. Service can be a little slow but acceptable.
The food was just perfect, the schnitzel was delicious and cooked just right! I righly recommend it.
Drinks took a while, but they were good. Also, make sure to try a few different ones.
Lovely spot just steps away from the frenzy of Georgetown where you can get a little taste of European cafe life. I like coming here for breakfast before the crowds arrive. It gets packed! Especially if it’s a sunny day and you want to sit on the patio. The pastries are nice. Love the little tea sandwiches.
Loved Kafe Leopold! If you want a euro-experience in the heart of DC then this is the place for you. The food was delicious and the service was great. We can’t remember her name but the waitress from Estonia was very nice! I highly reccomend the schnitzel with the limonberry sauce. I wish they had free refills on the soda but the euro-portions of soda was part of the experience!
If you're looking for a wonderful place to spend a nice day, look no further than Kafe Leopold. This cozy cafe offers a variety of delicious dishes, from entrees and breakfasts to pastries and desserts. Trust me, you won't want to miss their Chocolate Temptation - it's heavenly! The staff at Kafe Leopold are warm and professional, and the service is impeccable. My wife and I had a blast there, and we can't wait to go back the next time we're in DC.
We visited Georgetown for a work event and had reservations for lunch. The space is on the smaller side but very open, bright and decorated nicely with bright colors. When you first enter you will be mesmerised with the dessert choices on display. I know I was in for a treat. Our server was very attentive. I ordered french toast and scrambled eggs and of course a black forest cake. The eggs were soft and fluffy and not over cooked, the french toast was uniquely made stuffed with blueberries and strawberries with a strawberries syrup. Oh so delicious, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely return and recommend.
The Schnitzel was great, but the service was a little slow (I'm being nit-picky). But...I shouldn't have to go all the back to the kitchen to use Apple pay for the bill. However, the waitress was nice and the atmosphere was good. Dog friendly too!
Busy little cafe with thoughtfully crafted breakfast items. I went with a large group and was able to sample a good portion of the menu. Everything was good, especially the spatzle. I didn’t, however, quite like the Austrian coffee with milk. Not sure why but it didn’t sit well with me. They also have plenty of cakes to choose from. We chose the green one with strawberries. It was very sweet but the strawberries mellowed out the sweetness a bit.
Kafe Leopold is a gem. I had breakfast multiple times and dinner once and the food is spectacular. The atmosphere and ambience are very nice, and the staff are extremely kind and welcoming. For breakfast I had the almond croissant, soft boiled eggs, and the Belgian waffle. All were excellent. For dinner I had the bratwurst and the celery sauerkraut, both excellent. For dessert I had the affogato with rum which was a tasty and delicious treat to end my meal. The somewhat hidden location on a cobblestone Georgetown side street only adds to the unique charm of this great restaurant. I can't wait to return very soon.
This is my favorite place to brunch in DC; the sweet brunch menu is all delicious. As a big dessert person, I love that they have many shared and individual desserts to choose from. The pastry chef, Luigi Herve, makes only marvels.
I gave 4 stars for service merely because though attentive, the waiters each time I went either were frighteningly polite, almost obsequious, as though they would be tormented if their smile were to break, or commented on my large appetite (female), which is due to my weightlifting regimen.
Anyway, the food is impeccable, delicious, and interesting. I cannot recommend this place more if you need brunch or lunch in DC.
Got a recommendation to try Kafe Leopold and was not disappointed. I love Austrian food and this was such a treat to try. The service was great and I loved the vibe of the restaurant. I enjoyed everything I ordered and will definitely be going back!
Quintessential Georgetown café where one can enjoy Austrian fare, complete w a full bar, dine in or al fresco. Entrées look deceiving, there are packed w volume. We had the brunch special Leopold spatzle and the Austrian version of a salad Niçoise, and it was way better. The Bloody Mary came plenty spicy, rich n flavor. The decor is modernist hip trendy. Staff are friendly and professional. The clientele is refined. This is a good GT spot.
At 4.3 currently, this is definitely underrated. Kafe Leopold is a Georgetown staple with excellent coffee and large food variety. Lunch is great, breakfast is great too. Best known for their veal schnitzel, which is excellent, switch out the potato salad for fries. Their salads are impressive and delicious. Get the one with the grilled salmon on the side for a good lunch. Coffee, both caffeinated and decaf, is great whether black or cappuccino/ latte. Service is always excellent and the manager always attentive. Great outdoor seating in nice weather in a quiet corner of Georgetown. Reserve ahead of time for a good table, but they will always seat you.
This is my favorite restaurant in Georgetown. If you want to be transported to Europe, this is the place. Great food & desserts. I've eaten here for brunch, lunch, & dinner. I always enjoy the food. It's on the pricier side, but worth it. Servers are friendly. When people visit me from out of town, I make sure we eat at Kafe Leopold at least once 😉
First time at Kafe Leopoldo today, we ordered Belgian waffle, French toast, and Leopoldo’s omelet. Everything was so good! The omelet was top notch, the waffle was delicious, then comes the French toast! The service was great, we went without a reservation and they were very accommodating!
I had the veal schnitzel and Sacher Torte. Both items were good. However, I did not think it was worth the price. The restaurant probably does not cater to normal people like me. They might have these extremely high prices to look fancy to wealthy people.
The atmosphere is nice and the stuffs are friendly. The salad is fresh and tasty while the mushroom sandwich is too salty for me. I am not sure whether it is authentic European flavor. However, we still enjoy a good time there.
My friend and I had conflicting opinions about the food. We ordered the steak tartare to start which had a very interesting flavor because of the mustard aioli. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t necessarily order it again (not the biggest fan of mustard). I ordered the angus steak for the entre, which was tender and delicious. Cooked perfectly medium, no complaints there.
My friend, however, did not enjoy the Schnitzel. He said it “tasted like cardboard” and had little seasoning.
The desert menu was extensive and it was hard to choose, but we went with the Karamell-Grey which we did not regret. It was moist and rich with flavor.
I’d definitly come back again, maybe try some different items on the menu.
Great spot for brunch, lunch or dinner. Food is truly above and beyond what you'd expect in a small DC restaurant. Every dish is unique and simply crafted to deliver a phenomenal experience. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. 4 stars because music is loud and decoration is a bit like an airport lounge.
