If the words French caf? scratch your sweet tooth, Patisserie Poupon is the place to start a lazy weekend morning or catch a spark in the late afternoon. Staying true to its roots, taste comes naturally, whether in a pastry or a tart?or the illy brand coffee, espresso, or French press. You?ll be lured in by the slice of European comfort that Georgetown?s streets make it easy to recreate, and you?ll come back for another slice of tiramisu. My decadent recommendation: start with an almond croissant (the bench mark of a worthwhile pastry shop), fight through to a caramel Napoleon (layers of custard stacked in between croissant cookie-wafers), and sip them down with hazelnut latte.
Pros: An espresso bar
Cons: Limitted seating during busy hours
