This is great for any meal of the day.

My boss took my co-worker's and I here for lunch, and I will say I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a huge fan of their homemade "Ranch" dressing.....but they have the Best Reuben in town. The deserts are good (I would prefer they didn't use salted butter in the Red Velvet cupcakes, but they are still delicious...you just taste the salt a little bit)

Overall, the Service was great, my food was great....and I tried a few other things that were delicious. I will definitely return!

A great little spot for whatever you're hungry for.  Beautiful chocolate, cakes, scones, muffins in the bakery, and wonderful breakfast.

I tried a skillet, and all the ingredients were very fresh and the veggies were all very crisp.  It was the great kind of breakfast where you're eating something substantial and proteinaceous but you don't feel all greased out.  

I also tried a huckleberry pancake, single stack.  It was soft and fluffy.  The berries were mixed into the batter and I thought this made the taste a little duller than if they had just poured them on top.

You pay a fair price for the quality of the food you get here.  The only things I missed were the side dishes.  Where is the free toast?  English muffins?  A slice of bacon?

This place is average. AVERAGE. I think there is a lot of hype about it because there isn't much like it in the area so people have nothing to compare it to. I grew up in Washington state and moved to Washington, DC (via Chicago) and must state that although they offer some selection, this place is, again, AVERAGE. I should knock them down to 2 stars because the few times I have been there the service has been HORRIFIC. In fact, I went there with my little niece who was 4 at the time and the waiter said "damn" in front of her after she dropped a meal.

If you're looking for AVERAGE. Come here.

Very nice Euro-style deli with a fresh interior and a semi romantic flair.  Definitely the spot to go for a romantic lunch date.
The service is fairly quick, the portions and large enough to satisfy and the foods presentation and taste is pleasant, fresh and taste great for the price, the deserts can be rather rich depending on what you get. Warning: the coffee is European Coffee so it may be a little stronger that your use to.

I have yet to dine here, but I sure LOVE to buy desserts and chocolates here!!  If you're ever looking for a small token of appreciation, come pick out some truffles.  They put them in cute little boxes with a ribbon.  Not only are they beautifully packaged but they're BIG and DELICIOUS.  There's a HUGE variety to pick from too and soooo pretty!  :)

I've also had their bread pudding!!  YUUUM!  And their cupcakes are to DIE FOR.  Firm cake, like a donut!  Believe it- cake and donut in ONE- WINNER.   I've never had one SOOOO good!!!  WOW!!  They're worthy of raving!!  Everyone I know does!  Go there and INDULGE yourself, you'll be so delighted!  :)

They also serve breakfast and lunch and I've been told it's just as good as their desserts!!!

Affairs, owned and managed by Gay Landry, began as a chocolatier.  Gay added more and more - cakes, pastries, pies, etc. - and finally put in a few tables.  She eventually added a luncheon menu.  Now she's open on Sundays for breakfast/brunch, and she is also open on special occasions.  There is NOTHING that is less than wonderful.  Check out her fruit scones.  Dungeness crab Benedict is another favorite.  I try not to drive past Affairs because, like the Sirens, the call is irresistable.  Try it once, and you'll return over and over again.
