35 Best Delis in Washington

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

“Amazing bagel place with a few shops in and around DC, it’s a small business and there is no seating available except outside.
I personally recommend the sun city bagel and latte. Prices are OK and never had any problems in regards with food safety. Must try“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I've known about this place for years. They have been there for many years, so it's like a mom and pop type of café. I used to work not far from it and my boss used to order their reuben sandwiches for the entire office back in the day on Fridays. Now, I no longer work in DC, but I make it a habit of going there just to get their Reuben sandwiches. They use kosher meat so the meat is delicious. I have tried other reuben sandwiches at other places and there is no match to the reuben sandwiches here. I no longer eat them anywhere else anymore because whenever I do, I'm always disappointed. So if you're looking for a fantastic amazing reuben sandwich this is the place to go. I have never ordered anything else on the menu when I go there. One day maybe I'll try their fish sandwiches because I heard they are good too. So I give them a 5 out of 5 stars.“

“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🥰“

“Just happened on this deli while wandering around as tourists. Saw the lines of locals and realized this is where we want to eat. The ambiance is pure deli. Everything clean and appropriate. The food is solid. Everything tasted fresh and good: Simple and pure. We met the mom and pop owners who ended up realizing we were tourists and gave us pointers on what to see and how to order food in the region. Ended up chatting about life in general. Just above and beyond in terms of personalized kindness. So much so that I had to write my once in a decade review...“

“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.“

“The white hot chocolate was AMAZING! HOWEVER, I asked for almond milk and the cashier said it was going to be an extra charge, I said that’s fine but then he turned to woman making my chocolate and said whole milk was fine?! She also looked annoyed at having to redo my chocolate.“

“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.“

“Love this place. Walk in the door and immediately to the right is Lawd Shawarma! A wonderfully warm meal of fish & eggs with vegan bread and Christmas-spiced Sorrel / Hibiscus drink. No matter what they call the next respiratory illness, no matter if you need to starve a flu or feed a cold. Problem solved for me. Lawd! I thank you.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“GOOD EATS!!“

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

“Great place to grab lunch around the area. They’re very quick with orders. One time I had to wait a couple of minutes after ordering ahead and they gave me free chips. They really care about their customers and it’s something that I really appreciate. Will come back here a lot“

“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“

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

“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“

“Chicken salad sandwich always good 😋“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great store with clean environment and fair prices. They got funnel, sheets, woods, swishers, cigs, bongs, pipes, and a snack & drink section. I got what i was looking for and i was in then out in no time. Atm inside and more things you have to go inside to check out for yourself.“

“Got my order wrong once but other that it a cool spot.“

“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 😊“

“This particular store has been in the neighborhood for a long time so this store will need to upgrade the heating system the cooling system maybe it just like I said it needs to be gutted out and remodeled and maybe bigger and better parking lot for them as well because I see cars getting scraped up and everything like that when I'm and I'm coming out the parking lot“

“excellent aptitude ,,,,%%$$$$$$$$$$$$=“

“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.“

“The food was so delicious. I did not even get a picture. I had a bacon egg and cheese croissant also with three wings my friend ordered a turkey bacon, egg and cheese on wheat toast.! he thought that my sandwich look better than his and would taste better but when he had his sandwich, he was amazed on how good it was. The chicken was 1010. Absolutely delicious. I’m thinking about ordering again for dinner tonight.“

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
