The food and coffee is great - definitely recommend the Ophelia's Bloom latte for a sweet floral coffee moment. A fabulous place to romanticize your work or study time! If you plan to stay for the art and history exhibits or the rest of the library, you must check in at the front desk and a donation of $15 is highly recommended. However, if you are only interested in visiting the cafe, check in and donation is not necessary.

The espresso drinks are not that great. They don't have a real barista, and the machine is just "push a button" and out comes an espresso. The croissants are not worth the money or calories -- they taste like day old Costco. The tea is a better option, but served in a paper cup. I haven't tasted any other items, but friends say the food is generally good.

This place feels like such a hidden gem and I can't believe I hadn't stumbled across it sooner. I really love their avocado toast menu. There are so many options and they are all priced really well. I tried the margarita avocado toast and it was a standout for me. So flavorful and fresh. And I added an egg! Chefs touch. The tea selection is another highlight. They have a great variety of hot and cold teas, and I especially appreciate that the cold teas actually come in a good sized cup instead of those tiny ones you sometimes get. The vibe is super homey and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely kind, which makes the experience even better. Today I tried the croissant egg sandwich and added sausage, and it was really good. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. Must stop by!

We placed our orders and found a table right away. I enjoyed one of the World Cup Pastries - Argentina - that had a guava filling. It was really good and creative. The toasted s'mores croissant cube also caught my eye, but will have to try that one another time. We appreciate the gluten free offerings as well! We ordered peach pie matcha and an iced chai latte both with almond milk. When we got the matcha, it definitely was made with dairy milk. They were willing to remake quickly. The chai latte was alright. Felt watered down quite a bit so will likely try something different next time. A nice place to grab a coffee and catch up! The food others were enjoying looked fabulous!

Came to this location with my husband and sister-in-law. We ordered the build your own omelette…read morewith roasted potatoes, french toast with berries, white chocolate chip coconut macadamia cookie, pain au chocolate croissant, blueberry scone, peppermint hot chocolate, and chai tea latte. Total came out to approximately $55. What's hot - Menu. Good variety and there appears to be something for everyone, even possibly vegans. There are sweet and savory options, eggs, french toast, salads, sandwiches, etc... - Quality. Excellent! All 3 of us really enjoyed the food that we ordered. Their french toast and omelettes are delicious. My husband particularly liked the maple syrup that was served with his french toast, because the maple flavor tasted a bit stronger than your average maple syrup. Their pastries are also delicious! Soft, good texture and not too sweet. Given the softness, my best guess is that their sweet treats are recently made. - Service. Pretty good. We did not wait very long for our orders to be ready. The hot foods, like the omelettes, french toast, and drinks, appear to be freshly made. - Price. Good value for money, given the quality and portions. - Location. Convenient location in D.C. However, given the location, be prepared for it to get busy quickly, which means decent lines and wait times. What's not - Interior space. Very tight squeeze inside. There are tables and chairs inside, but their biggest tables can only fit 4 people. If you have children with a stroller or whatever, be prepared to not have room inside. They have outside seating, but that's only conducive to when the weather is warm. This place appears to be popular, which means it can get packed very quickly and seating can be difficult to find. - Acoustics. They play relatively loud music inside, which makes it difficult to have conversations with those you're with. That the interior is small, the music travels easily, which does not help. - Omelette. Even though I liked the flavor of my omelette, it was rather thin. I prefer my omelette to be more weighty/fluffy in texture. Additionally, cheese is not automatically included with the omelette. I ordered mushrooms, red peppers, spinach, and bacon in my omelette. I mistakenly believed cheese was automatically included, but I was wrong. - Parking. Is not easy to find given the location. There is street parking, but it's very difficult to come by. Final Answer Would like to come back, but probably not a first choice given the tight squeeze of the interior. If I do return, would more likely than not order takeaway.

I coordinated a…read morePrix Fixe menu with the chef/owner who was incredibly responsive, helpful, and willing to recommend menu options I coordinated a Seven Course Prix Fixe menu for our group of 11. The chef made great suggestions and allowed me to adjust based upon food preferences. Our entire group was blown away by Maketto. Cocktails were complicated, interesting, and well balanced. A few favorites: The Angkor Wat, Singapore Sling, and Brothers and Sisters. In the first four small plate courses, our group raved about the Spicy Cucumbers and Chicken Ginger Soup Dumplings but the Tomato and Tofu and Shrimp Dumplings were also wonderful. For the three main entrees, all three were wonderful. The standout was the Cambodian Brisket, Pickled Vegetables, and homemade roti but we also loved the complexity of the wok fried noodles with mushrooms but you must get the Pork Char Sui. Our final entree was the Spicy Beef and Rice bowl which was also delicious. For dessert , the Mochi Beignets were a hit along with the coconut ice cream and Egg Custard Tart. Bottom line, you will love Maketto. Our entire group was impressed with the food. Service was also wonderful. Thanks for a great night!

Can't beat the vibe - laid back but buzzing. Service was very attentive and welcoming. Everything we tried was delicious, complex and unique. It's a daily menu with a lot of staples -- we felt like we could not have chosen wrong. For cocktails we tried the Ankor what - Szechuan-infused bourbon, maple cynar and lemon. I wasn't sure what to expect and how spirit forward it would be but it was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, not too spicy or peppery with the sezchuan pepper but subtly complex. And the Chinese opera - Lemongrass-Infused Macchu Pisco, St. Germain, Lemon, Apple Shrub, Aquafaba. This one looked beautiful, topped with pink peppercorns and went down too easy. Light and refreshing. I would recommend all the dishes we tried. The Chinese soup dumplings with this fragrant peanut sauce are a must. My boyfriend's favorite was the Gruyère beef chili dumplings which reminded me of croquettes. Definitely recommend the Peking duck build your own bao entree. We loved the vegetable toppings so much we asked if we could purchase their homemade kimchi to take some home :) Finished with the egg tartes which were so light and luscious, the brulee crust is everything. Appreciated the chef even stopping by the table to check on the meal! Such a nice impromptu dining out experience

First time visiting Milk and Honey at the Wharf. I have been to the College park location though…read more Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience at this location. We were seated almost immediately which was great but it took the waiter 15 min to come to our table and the restaurant wasn't really crowded. Once he came to our table we gave him our order for drinks. He did not offer water so we asked for water. It took approximately 25 min to receive our drinks and still no water. He finally brought the water when I asked a second time. While we were waiting for our drinks he was steadily walking around aimlessly until he realized we did not receive our drinks. After delivering our drinks we were finally able to order our food. Our food came out in a decent time however, I was so annoyed by this point. For our entrees we ordered the Cajun salmon with grits and the Cajun pasta with chicken and salmon. The Cajun salmon was good but they gave a small portion in ratio of the amount of grits given. The grits were a bit cold and could have used some more seasoning. The Cajun pasta with chicken and salmon was delicious but could have been hotter as well. For drinks we ordered the pineapple Hennessy and whisky margarita. The Pineapple Hennessy was delicious. The margarita could have been stronger and less sweet. Overall, it was decent experience. Not sure if I will return though. Cheers!
