U Street was a culinary wasteland before Chef April Pitts came along. Now she’s luring foodies from all over the Washington DC Metro area, and beyond with her American-focused cuisine at Cremel Café & Lounge. Chef April learned from a local master: she spent the majority of her career with Chef Jeff Black, working her way up the ladder from line cook to chef. Creme Cafe and Lounge has been open for FIVE marvelous years and going strong! Located on the up-and-coming U Street Corridor, Crème Café & Lounge offers mouthwatering, generous portion of home-cooked food at outstanding prices.
