Quill & Crumb
201 E Capitol St SE, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the stunning Folger Shakespeare Library, Quill & Crumb offers a genuinely special atmosphere with soaring gallery windows and cozy nooks that make lingering over your laptop feel like a literary escape. While the food quality can be inconsistent, the real draw here is the architectural beauty and peaceful weekday vibe—arrive on a quieter morning when you can actually snag a booth and settle in with a proper Earl Grey and pastry.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Very nice place for breakfast. A little difficult to find a place to sit during the weekends but on weekdays it’s much easier to secure a spot to have breakfast! The pastries were delicious, we ordered some to go.
