Yet another DC "combination of different things you wouldn't find in one place," Kramerbooks is unsurprisingly a bookstore and its Afterwords Cafe has a Grill attached. Not satisfied with just coffee and tea, they supply a pretty impressive drink menu that includes alcoholic beverages. And food. Since it was almost a Sunday brunch with MLK Day extending the weekend to Monday, they gave us mimosas (regular and strawberry) on the house. To fight the cold, I got a "hot scotch," which isn't nearly as alcoholic as one would guess. It's just hot chocolate spiked flavored with butterscotch schnapps ala the mint schnapps with hot chocolate my Tulane friends are so fond of during the winter.
When we got to our "VIP" table, we found a basket of orange mini-muffins awaiting us. They were promptly tasted, enjoyed, and gone.
For my entree, I ordered a "Maryland crab quesadilla." It was a hearty quesadilla filled with jumbo lump crab meat, Old Bay scrambled eggs, roasted corn kernels, scallions, mild green chilies, and Monterey Jack cheese. It came topped with guacamole and served with the requisite salsa. Little cubed "cafe potatoes" and a few slices of fruit finished the plate. It was too much, but it was too good to not finish.
Kramers offers "something for everyone. carnivore, herbivore, omnivore." (I'm the last.) And they pretty much deliver. Everyone in our party of nine seemed very satisfied with their orders both in taste and in price.
