Un je ne sais Quoi...
Un je ne sais Quoi is a small French pastry shop at 1361 Connecticut Ave NW, just south of Dupont Circle. Google describes it as specializing in cloud-like meringue and whipped-cream pastries, and it holds a 4.6-star Google rating across 1,659 reviews.
Reviewers praise flaky, buttery pastries and a good variety including seasonal options; madeleines, a ham and cheese croissant, canneles and a pear tart all come up. Several compare it favorably to Paris, though one recent traveler felt it did not fully live up to the hype. Common caveats: prices are on the high side, seating is very limited, and a couple of reviewers rate the coffee as just okay.
