"A cornerstone of DC’s Dupont Circle since its founding in 1976, Kramer’s Bookstore and Café (formerly Kramerbooks & Afterwords) is a lively destination. Named after Bill Kramer, one of the original founders. Known for its eclectic selection of books, Kramer’s is equally celebrated for its café that serves everything from brunch to cocktails. The café’s wood-fired pizzas have become a crowd favorite, complementing the cozy, bookish atmosphere. The interior blends warm wooden shelves with pops of color from curated book displays. Fun fact: Kramer’s was the first bookstore-café in the United States."
