A cheeseburger with bacon, leafy greens, tomato, and cheddar cheese in a brioche bun, topped with sliced pickles held by a wooden skewer, served on a white plate against a blue background.
A glass of yellow frozen drink topped with a red cherry sits on a wooden surface, with a blurred green and blue background.
A plate of huevos rancheros topped with salsa, crema, and pico de gallo sits on a wooden table next to a brunch menu and a glass of orange juice or mimosa. The table is outdoors with green grass visible.
A glass of dark brown cocktail served on a reflective surface, garnished with a twist of orange peel. The background is out of focus.

The Evening Star Cafe is a rollicking neighborhood gem located in the heart of Del Ray. Opened in 1997, Evening Star is well known for its friendly vibe and convivial setting and continues to shine with a fiercely loyal crowd.
