I usually go to the TED’S in Virginia the food is amazing there. At this location the flavors just weren’t there for me. However, everyone has a different palette. This location was also super small and old looking. I would not return again.

This was a different Ted's Bulletin location than I often go to. The food was good, albeit came a little cold. I think this was simply part of the service problems that we experienced and not a problem with the kitchen. We had to flag a server down several times because of them forgetting things or just not even touching in to see if everything was fine.

We stayed local after touring Capitol Hill. We found Ted’s Bulletin very inviting and comfy. The food and the service were very good. Loved the all day breakfast option, although I had their super grilled cheese with tomato soup, which was wonderful. You must try Ted’s tarts while you are there, a fabulous homemade treat.!

A great neighborhood gem! We had family visiting from out of town and they loved it. The waiter made great recommendations - the breakfast burrito and avocado toast were both a hit! Definitely will come back and try the cinnamon roll or one of the signature pop tarts.
