Turkey and Pork bacon hit the spot to round out this delicious breakfast. Within 100 feet from hotel, an even better winner. Service is swift and congenial and prices are comparable. No street parking so walk or Uber. Lots of seating, as they're attached to and owned by Stella's Pizzeria, so great for large groups. TVs so good for games after work or other sporting events. Will definitely revisit when in The District!

We got an order to go and received it at the Stellina Pizza entrance. It took a bit of time to get our order even though we had ordered it in advance but the waffle itself was incredible. We got the S'mores waffle which was amazing. It had toasted meringue, graham cracker crumbles, hazelnut chocolate spread and powdered sugar. I'd get it again.

The Tikka dish with fried egg was tasty, but wish paneer or larger protein option was built-in (not an upcharge)! The creamy red Tikka curry sauce, caramelized onions, crispy brussel sprouts, and fried ere tasty and paired well, the dish felt incomplete and something was missing, maybe some paneer or naan? I paid $5 for a side of zesty naan topped with different spices and really wish it came with the dish just came with it. While I was tempted to order the falafel, I couldn't justify shelling out another $5 for another upcharge and spend $10 on them for a total of $26 for just an entree - when these 2 upcharges should have been included in the entree by default. Wish there were more fun vegetarian dishes on the menu. Might come back for drinks and to explore the menu!

The second time I got the brunch pasta (with maple breakfast sausage- such a unique offering) and washed it down with a downright heavenly Cinnamon Toast Crunch-inspired boozy milkshake. Love the food so much that I insisted on bringing some out-of-town friends here for brunch on a Saturday. I noted the 75-minute dining limit in the OpenTable confirmation, which we had every intention of respecting, so I was a little miffed when the host came by very soon after we paid (about 45 minutes into the reservation) and asked if there was anything else they could do for us (the polite way of saying "get out, we need your table"). We definitely got the message, kind of laughed about it, and my friend got up to use the restroom before we left. On his way back he saw some of the staff pointing at our table and referring to us as the ones who refused to leave. I would understand if we'd sat there yapping for two hours, but 45 minutes was too soon to put on the pressure. Being made to feel unwelcome immediately after taking the last sip or bite cast a pall over an otherwise fantastic meal.

This was our best meal in DC, by far. The eclectic Ethiopian breakfast menu was wild (and maybe a…read morebit overwhelming), but amazing. The injera and egg dishes were unreal, but it was clear you could not go wrong here. The seating felt like someone's home, with various couches and coffee tables filling the restaurant. The coffee was one of the standout things they served; I'm not sure what they're doing with the coffee, but it was one of the better quality coffees I think I've ever had. Huge fan of this place, and would definitely return!!

The Ethiopian style breakfast is just scrambled eggs, and the beef was an extra cost. It was definitely very pricey ($40), with the beef being $9 add on for not that much beef.

Tryst kept me afloat. The lovely service I have always received, whether at the bar, a table, or a…read moresofa, has been consistent though a decade of visits, as has the engagement of this charming bijou of a cafe with the surrounding neighborhood. Although probably first established while Friends was still on the air, Tryst has kept up with the comings and goings of Adams Morgan, reiterating itself with changes in the local culture and the arts, which are often on display. The building itself has a narrative to it, but it's the centrality of this respite from 'everywhere else' that makes Tryst stand out, lets it occupy memories of comfort and hospitality in my mind, keeps pulling at me to visit time and again. If it wasn't for Tryst, I doubt professional and personal lows would have turned out so rosy, in the end, for me.

Open until midnight Thursday…read morethrough Saturday (and until 10 PM every other night), Tryst is a sanctuary of peace in the heart of the otherwise lively -- and often chaotic -- Adams Morgan neighborhood. With their extended hours, expansive food and drink selection, and cozy vibes, you can easily hole up in Tryst for the entire day. Personally, I've visited Tryst more time than I can count, and at literally all time of the day. I've definitely taken full advantage of Tryst's extended hours to fuel many, many late-night study and work sessions. I love how cozy the space is, with their slightly worn but super comfy couches and armchairs, dim lighting, and ambient cafe music. The staff is super friendly; you can either order from the counter if you're taking your order to go or just snag a spot and wait for the servers to make their way to you.
