Lovely and cozy eatery serving a variety of classic American and fusion fare, with a wide selection of great vegan and/or gluten-free options. I visited this location for brunch and got their sweet potato skillet, which included a generous helping of brown rice mixed with sauteed kale and sweet potato, then topped with a beautiful poached egg. The meal was simple, yet so incredibly tasty. While their food is delightful, what has made Busboys & Poets a long-time DC favorite and cultural hub is its ambiance. It's one of the main "cool" places in the city, with its relaxed vibes, open mic poetry nights, and adorable little shop featuring small artists from across the District. The K Street location also features a lovely little bar serving both caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, which is a delightful spot to sit if you just want to enjoy a drink or casual meal. The entire staff is super friendly, so sitting at the bar is a surefire way to have a delightful conversation with the bartender, as well as to people watch or just soak in the vibes.

Food was honestly incredible! Definitely a unique DC experience and one I was glad I could take part in. In particular, the staff were so considerate and understanding about my needs due to coeliac disease, making sure to point out to me which menu items were gluten free but had a risk of cross contamination and were therefore not safe for me. The staff were reassuring and well informed, and swapped out elements of my meal to make sure I had a safe experience. Food came out flagged for allergy, which made me feel very safe.

I'm gluten, dairy and soy free and i had the roasted chicken bowl with hummus. It was really good and I had no reaction. They said they are a completely gluten free restaurant, the only dairy is in their crema and the cookie has soy. It was delicious and I might be back during this trip.
