About Bonne Vie Cafe and Bistro
CoffeeBrunch
Housed in a historic flatiron at the crossroads of Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and the U Street Corridor, Bonne Vie Café & Bistro marries Parisian café ease with neighborhood energy. Mornings center on fresh baguettes, flaky pastries, and espresso for lingering or getting work done, while evenings transform into a warmly lit bistro serving classic French plates, martinis, and thoughtfully paired wines.
