31 Best Delis in Washington

“Cute place to grab breakfast. I give it 4 stars, it’s just a hyped up breakfast spot. The bagels were okay and the service was very good. No space inside to eat so be prepared to eat it outside, we didn’t mind since it was beautiful out but check the weather prior to arriving. I would come back if I am close by but I wouldn’t take an uber 25 minutes for a bagel here.“

“they give you more than ypu need. fulfillment!!“

“A go-to spot near the office for fresh sandwiches. Friendly staff and consistently great food.“

“Great bagels and staff. Having lived in Philly and NY, I came to DC with a high standard for bagels. Call Your Mother is the truth.“

“Solid family-owned deli serving up bagels and sandwiches for a relatively reasonable price. The turkey avocado sandwich was good but needed a little salt and pepper. They don’t bake their bread or bagels or smoke their meats in-house, but it’s still a decent spot if you’re in the neighborhood. I’ll be back to try a breakfast bagel.“

“I'm from out of town but, as a seasoned traveler, I spotted a UPS delivery driver eating and noticed the plain foil wrap he was holding. That was a sign of flavor packed simple food. He told me where to buy it and went straight there. Chicken Madness is what I order and at first impression, the sandwich was fresh hot in temperature. Then, when I took the first bite I was reborn. I would love to visit DC again and most definitely stop by for 3 of these amazing sandwiches.“

“First time going here today, went for breakfast. Good service, good coffee, amazing stuffed French toast, & The Home fries 🤌🏼 Will definitely be back!!!“

“Went and tried the Italian sub and the meatball today.Absolutely delicious and fresh!“

“I love City Place Cafe and the staff is amazing🥰“

“Perfectly toasted and buttered bagel. The staff was friendly. The other patrons were very friendly as they could easily tell we were tourists. I like to go where the locals go when on vacation. This is the type of establishment I'd gladly support on a regular basis if I lived in the area. The store was clean. The food was freshly prepared. The location is convenient.Check this place out if you are visiting the area. The locals already know how great this place is.“

“Really nice deli, the food is great and the service is fast. Which surprised me. They actually carved the turkey in front of you for your sandwich. Not sliced off a loaf, but carved the pieces out. The gyros were delicious, along with the rice bowl. No wonder they keep a line there. It's worth the wait.“

“Delicious! There is a Korean person at the counter,
If you say you're Korean. They make it to suit Korean tastes.
I thought that sauce was amazing haha
Thanks to you, I ate 2 wraps haha.

Kid-friendliness: Good to eat with children“

“Yum! Good quick breakfast and not expensive. Huge menu, too.“

“Sometimes the best meals can be found in an industrial park in Beltsville. I also learned that this restaurant offers a Nigerian twist on shawarma. This meal consisted of the mouthwatering supreme shawarma with a side of fried sweet potatoes“

“I have never ever taste a fish sandwich this good in my life. It tastes better than any high end restaurant. The service was excellent, the waitress was so polite and friendly. I’ve been there several times over the years and I always order the same thing the fish sandwich. As I observed the people that patronize the restaurant. Some ordered takeout and some ate inside. Everything thing I had seen on others plates from the breakfast foods and well stacked deli sandwiches looked good. The restaurant is very cozy and family friendly. I highly recommend it, if you’re ever in the area. 👍🏼👍🏼 and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best bagel I ever had! Great customer service! I love this place! Hilltop!“

“So good! The bread is delicious! And the service was great!“

“Vace is a DC institution in my eyes. I enjoy stocking up on the homemade sauces and pastas to store in the freezer. I also like the imported Italian brands they carry. My favorite thing to buy is the pizza dough. It's the best of the best and will hold up in the fridge for several days or more. The staff told me to leave it out for 4 hours before stretching it and topping it. That works well. I may also get a slice to go!“

“A hidden gem in downtown DC. It’s tucked away near the UPS store but it’s delicious and the couple that runs the place does a great job, making fresh sandwiches. The grilled cheese is lovely and the prices are so reasonable! I highly recommend for an affordable workday lunch.“

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Food was great. Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a while. The crew working this morning was very welcoming and hospitable. The place was clean and organized. It’s clear the staff here cares about doing a good job. Will be coming back as often as I can.“

“Delicious!!!“

“I love M2M, low prices and great eats.. the salad bar is outstanding. Great customer service and very clean.. You can eat inside or outside. 5 Stars PLUS“

“Words cannot describe the amazing sandwich I just had (spicy turkey melt). It was beyond compare and I could die a happy man knowing I will likely never have anything as delicious as that sandwich again. I have but two regrets as I write this review. One is I did not take a picture to show the artistic beauty of the sandwich to give you fair reader a glimpse at sandwich nirvana. Two was that I did not order another one.“

“Very convenient! Our family shop here every day. The workers are very professional and kind. The business establishment is Awesome. They gave a cookout for the community which was excellent the food was delicious. We support our community store“

“Best place in the area for breakfast, a deli style turkey or ham sandwich, or grilled sandwiches. The customer service is excellent, the food is great, and Michael the manager will make sure you are well taken care of. This place is a hidden gem!“

“Chicken salad sandwich always good 😋“

“Convenient location, fast, average pricing, good selection /variety, good service and great tasting food. I decided to take advantage of the available hot food buffet selection, and it was a definite win. Overall, I am satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.“

“Needed a quick bite to eat after a concert & going to out hotel close by, had the chicken wrap & some wings. We enjoyed that it was made fresh on the spot & tasted great especially at midnight, the casher was UNFORGETABLE with his catchphrase "alright awesome!" He's definitely a highlight. Would definitely swing by this small hidden gem!!“

“Great waffle with an amazing sausage, egg and cheese sandwich! The atmosphere is so nice inside, and the chill music was a great touch. If you like apple juice, try the sparkling apple juice! It’s so good! Also the workers are so nice. Such a great breakfast spot in DC 😊“

“Some strangely divided opinions on this place, but to add mine - this is my favourite place to get lunch during the week. High quality ingredients and a very chilled atmosphere. Clean too. Plus, the staff are not overly polite in a fake way, which I appreciate. They’re a nice team. The chilled music they play instantly sets the tone for a relaxing lunch.“
