Pavilion Café - Calumet-Norvelt

I cried of how bad it was , the fruit was good tho, chicken was cold, quiche was VERY oily and flavorless

Would be 5 star if they didn’t serve everything in plastic boxes. Cake should be eaten of a plate not out of a plastic box. Really just invest in proper crockery and aim for zero waste. It’s not that hard.

Sometimes it is cold when you visit D.C... Actually a lot of the time it is. If it is cold the next time you visit you can visit the Pavilion Cafe near the National Art Gallery to warm up and munch on some coffee and pastries.

Very nice Coffeshop with good coffee and pastry. Great to sit outside and look at all the beautiful sculptures in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture garden. The building is also a sculpture. Only bad things is all the people who also like this Coffeshop, the waiting time here is often very long and sometimes you stand with your coffee and there are no tables available. Overall good 4 stars.

Pros: Good food. Nice setting outdoors.Cons: fast food place suggests 15-25% tip. The cashier looked at the 15% I left on a $40 order, looked me in the eye and didn’t even acknowledge. She did,however, thanked the lady before me, who I saw pressing the “wow!” Tip button on the screen, which represented 25% tip. The entitlement is ridiculous these days.
