It's a restaurant with perfect pitch: elegant,...

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED B & O Espresso Restaurant Review

Open for more than three decades, this Capitol Hill spot began as an espresso coffeehouse and dessert café. Despite the introduction of a full service menu, desserts remain the draw. The dazzling display case is filled with luscious cakes, pastries and pies. German chocolate cake, sour cream lemon pie and the B&O espresso mousse torte are hands-down favorites. For those seeking a savory bite, a...

Anthropologie store that happens to serve fondue, B+O doubles as an antiques parlor and the classiest train station on Capitol Hill. Desserts are an admirable collection of good ideas: middle eastern menu's pretty extensive. A platter called "The Taste of Jerusalem" comes with hummus, babaganoush, tzatziki, meat, tahini salsa. For dessert, try the chocolate fondu or the Sarah Bernhardt: a...

A Capitol Hill institution churning out more than just double espressos and dessert.

Desserts and coffee rule at this neighborhood spot that is part coffee shop, part bakery, and part restaurant.

As you may have guessed, B & O Espresso gains fame from its coffee, which is known throughout the area. You'll delight in the desserts, whether you opt for a slice of sour cream lemon pie, carrot cake, or an espresso shake. The casual, friendly atmosphere is perfect for a conversation with friends while you sip a latte or another favorite coffee drink. The adjacent B & O Bistro serves...
