A MUST DO for everyone visiting Capitol Hill! I have been going to Le Bon Cafe since it first opened 25 years ago and I lived in the neighborhood. At that time, there were no good coffee shops that served lattes and espresso - no Starbucks. Le Bon Cafe was a happy discovery for my husband and I, recent transplants from New Orleans, who missed the cafes on every corner there. Though I moved away 19 years ago, I still make it a point to have a fresh croissant and latte when I visit DC each year - most recently to visit my daughter in college. It is still the charming, attentive oasis on the Hill that offers a variety of delicious sandwiches, salads, coffees and pastries.
