The breakfast sandwiches were very good. Cost was reasonable, and the staff were very polite and kind! Actually ate there 4 out 5 days we were in DC.

The Ham and cheese sandwich and the corned beef sandwich was really good. For something quick and satisfying, the food and the atmosphere was great. The only issue I had was the decaf coffee was very strong.

Quick no thrills place. I’ve had the breakfast sandwich’s and the steak and cheese and enjoyed them all.

Delicious sandwiches by a local shop in an area where there are very few (no?) lunch options. I attended a conference nearby and without Cafe Twelve I would have had to order delivery. I hope this shop hangs on! They had reduced staff when I went and the shop is sparse but the food is freshly made, tasty, and hits the spot. If you're part of the flood of feds returning in office be kind and patient with them as they adapt back to a larger customer base, too.

Half the coffee machines weren't working, the jug of milk and creamer were empty, and the food was extremely underwhelming. The atmosphere leaves much to be desired and the furniture is barely held together, my chair was rocking back and forth because it had something loose. I ordered a ruben sandwich, it isn't a classic ruben at all and the deli meat they use was chewy like gristle.

During my last visit on Jan 10, the male worker accused me of stealing money from his tip jar as I got ready to pay for my food. Stunned, I asked him to review the camera footage, since I saw one in the ceiling. He said his boss had to review it. I left my food on the counter and even gave him all the cash I had since accusing this customer of theft may have been a way to compensate for what was in the jar.
I have supported that place for more than two years, as I work in the area. That was my last visit.

Great food made fresh. A bit limited on choices but they excel at the options that are available. Highly recommend!

Extreme lack of substance across the board. Menu is trash. Service is trash. Bare minimum aesthetics.
Please please please, if there’s another option for you to eat, choose it. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Cheap and Cheerful. Great sandwiches, freshly made with lots of filling. Good service. If you don’t expect Chandeliers, bone China plates and silver cutlery, you won’t be disappointed

Really pathetic place.
Place was empty and they barely had any selection on the menu.
The shelves were empty. They only had a small cooler with no drinks.
In addition. The place smelled badly.
The turkey sandwich I ordered was awful.
AVOID at all costs.

Bought a turkey sandwich, expecting a typical deli meat style sandwich. Instead, I watched them slice fresh turkey breast off a full turkey roast. Best sandwich I have ever had, and can’t wait to go back
