Childhood Cafe
Childhood Cafe is a coffee shop and bakery at 1926 17th St NW, near Dupont Circle. It has a 4.3-star Google rating across 140 reviews.
The cafe sits two steps below street level, with little indoor seating and a patio that holds most of the tables. Reviewers like the lattes made with house-made syrups, the London Fog, the coffee cake and the pumpkin and banana breads, and call the prices fair. Feedback on the food is not unanimous: some reviewers found pastries stale or tasting frozen and the cold brew weak, and one describes feeling unwelcome.
The cafe opens at 7 AM on weekdays and 8 AM on weekends, closing at 6 PM.
