“At Xiomara suggestion, I ordered El Granseza sandwich for the first time , the very melted mozzarella cheese is super delicious and the red chilly has a great flavor touch.the service is awesome.Definitely I’ll comeback and also recommend it to my friends thanks Xiomara.“

“One of MD best dinners. This place would go head to head with any of NJ establishments.“

“Great turkey and pavilion sandwich, on soft sub bread. made fresh and melts in your mouth. Tiny but quaint place to eat. if choosing to dine in“

“Now THIS is a sandwich! The semolina sesame bread is only made better by the STACK of meat they generously pile on, plus all the toppings. I had the roast beef and turkey, and my friend had the eggplant parm… both fanTAStic. Regret I have to drive all the way from Fairfax to get here (we don’t have good sandwich places in the Frfx Sta/Burke area), but I will just to try everything on the menu. Special thanks to the guys who run it - they obviously enjoy people & their job - their friendliness is big enough to fill their small establishment. Take your appetite and GO!“

“Brought back so many memories of my grandmother’s cooking. The polish sampler reminded me of Christmas eve dinner. The polish Reuben was also delish! I also loved grabbing a few more polish treats and Oplatki for when I see my polish cousins at our family Christmas party tomorrow. The Oplatki was a tradition we did every Christmas Eve growing up. So glad I found this cute place!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed the best bagels and coffee at this place! We had two different bagel sandwiches and both were delicious!“

“This hidden gem needs to be FOUND by everyone! Met one of the owners, Mark, in Pazzo Pomodoro recently who told me about Nozzo Pazzo. I have since fallen in love with their sandwiches the Bugs Bunny and the Green Arrow wraps (vegan) which I return to get regularly. Then found out they also do breakfast! After Mark described how they make the French toast, I couldn’t stop thinking about it! I had it this morning, and believe me it is melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The place is so beautifully set up, and the tunes playing over the speakers were equally awesome! An absolute must try!“

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

“From delicious fresh cold cuts & cheeses, home-made entrees, fresh sausages, Italian Staples and condiments to the friendliest best service in town. Makes great sandwiches, subs, fresh breads and cookies. Now full of holiday treats. Can’t wait to order a special platter for the holidays! A unique shopping experience - slow down and enjoy yourself!💖🇮🇹😋“

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

“Cornucopia in Bethesda, Maryland is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by delightful pastries, perfectly seasoned chips, rich oils, and food essentials that bring flavors from across the globe. Every shelf feels like a passport stamp from another country.

My favorite indulgence is the Caprese with Mozzarella di Bufala sandwich—complete with balsamic, virgin olive oil, and fresh bread. It’s simple, authentic, and bursting with freshness. Each bite feels like a quick trip to Italy.

Cornucopia is more than a market; it’s a sensory experience that makes you slow down, savor, and appreciate the beauty of real food. A true Bethesda treasure.“

“Finally found a Mom and Pop shop close to home. We tried breakfast. The scrapple, egg, and cheese sandwich was amazing! simple and flavorful! The side of grits were on point! LOTS of butter and enough salt packets to balance the flavor! Service was very good! We will be coming here lots more!! Thank you!!“

“Every time I go to Maryland to visit family, this is my favorite stop! The quality is great, and this Pole isn't bluffing. My son knows how much I love it, that for Christmas I received 2 boxes of my favorite things from the store. I've got to lock my freezer now as other family members threaten to steal the kielbasa and pierogi.“

“Classic old school spot with inexpensive food. Love that places like this still exist, the owners are so lovely and work fast. Have gone in multiple times and even when they are busy the food comes out quick. Good portions, great price, and good food!“

“authentic, Authentic, AUTHENTIC Italian deli and grocery. Old school, greaseball type place. Fresh pizza and deli counter food, refrigerated and/or frozen store-made pasta dishes, meats and deserts, plus lots of imported Italian canned stuff. Looks like a set from a Brian DePalma or Francis Ford Coppola film. This place would look completely at home on the corner of Mulberry and Hester Streets in lower Manhattan. If you what that means, then this is the place for you.“

“Absolute Perfection, excellent food, service, and shop.“

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

“Not gonna lie. At first impression, I was a little skeptical. Once food arrived, quickly forget But if in the Bethesda area you got to try this deli spot. You won’t be disappointed. I won’t name the other chain sandwich shops and this will definitely surpass it. Can’t wait to do the breakfast bagel set up .“

“WHAT?! I'm from northern Jersey/NY area where pizza is a religion. I stumbled upon this absolute gem entirely accidentally and have not stopped talking about it. This place serves DELICIOUS pizza. Beautiful crust that stands up (minimal flop), delicious sauce, cheese is spot on. It's the little things that count and this place does some serious pizza. Highly recommended.“

“This is a solid breakfast and lunch spot very close to downtown Silver Spring. This is a local mom-and-pop shop that is run by the cutest older couple. I have had breakfast sandwiches, omelets, their breakfast burrito, and I haven't been disappointed with the food yet. While they do have chairs inside, it is really a take-out spot.

This a solid place for your essential breakfast and lunch. I try to always support local and small businesses.“

“If you want a great breakfast, with homemade home fries and great pancakes, go to Madison deli. They also have terrific sandwiches salads and soups. During non-Covid times, they make the best Korean bulgogi around. I highly recommend it!“

“Delicious sandwiches and I love the basil lemonade too! I had the tuna with capers and cream cheese today on ciabatta.“

“So I’m originally from northeast DC and back in the day, late 1990s early 2000s, DC had black stores that the community knew like family. Now, when I tell you Trinity Grill gives off that type of aura, they not only embody it, they emphasize it. Besides having great food Chicken Cheese Steak and today the Jerk Chicken sandwich on coco bread😩🤤. They have game nights with throwbacks like Jenga Pictionary, they also sell frozen margaritas, they even have Sports betting machines, When I tell you they have every convenience imaginable. Special shout out to the manager and the cooks they’re awesome“

“Chicken madness is an amazing sandwich“

“Been eating at this place for the past two years since my job is close by and I've always had a great experience with delicious and hot food. Great selection of sandwiches, salads, drinks, and chips with rotating soup selections throughout the week. Cheap, fast and consistent great quality!“

“Fantastic breakfast sandwiches in the area. Bagels are soft and seasoned well. You get a generous portion of bacon/sausage, egg and cheese. It's definitely worth the money. They have a lot of seating available if you eat there and there staff is very nice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!“

“Jean’s Deli is the kind of place I’d frequent almost daily if I worked in the area. For its modest size, the restaurant boasts an extensive menu of hearty fare (hot/cold sandwiches, burgers, breakfast items), as well as fresh salads, a fruit bar, and other lighter options. Everything we’ve tried is seasoned just right with generous portions, and the produce they use is unfailingly fresh. The deli’s been run by the same owners for the past 35 years, a couple with the kindest demeanor who put meticulous care into everything they make and serve. If you work nearby or are simply passing through, bookmark this spot and give it a visit.“

“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.“

“Amazing deli. Wonderful and friendly staff with tasty food. For lunch I recommend the Chevy Chase. They also have a great breakfast selection. The staff is always happy and greets you at the door. They know their customers and remember your order. 10/10 recommend!“

“This Chinese takeout joint has been in the neighborhood since 1996-1997. It’s awesome because everybody seems to know everybody, the Chinese owners speak fluent Spanish, and on the menu there are more Latin American foods than Chinese food. All good!“

“Was working a job right down the street Did not even pack my own lunch and ate here every single day. Corned beef on rye is comparable to Attmans or katz, amazing service, genuine interactions, it’s everything you’re looking for in a deli would highly recommend“

“Kidwell Cafe Inc is a cozy, casual spot with fresh, tasty breakfast and lunch options. The sandwiches, pastries, and coffee are all satisfying, and the portions are generous. It’s a friendly place — perfect for a quick meal or relaxed bite any time of day.“

“The staff here is extremely polite and helpful. I was greeted by Labrell who is extremely nice and helpful. He helped me and another couple get set up with the wonder app and gave recommendations on which foods to try. I highly recommend the wonder Reston location and if you get a chance to meet Labrell he will put a smile on your face and brighten your day!!“

“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“

“Over the past four years, I was a regular at Rock Cafe while working near by - going three to four times a week when working there. Across four years, this adds up to well over one hundred orders. Here is my thorough review on everything!

Service - a lot of us regulars would refer to the Cafe as 'Frank's', after the owner who is there with his team every day. Frank is a great man, who I have had the pleasure of getting to know very well. I would often times go over and he would immediately know my orders depending on the day of the week. Despite being a lean team they are fast and efficient, and if they do forget something are quick to fix it apologetically. During the school year they have dozens of students come between the hours of 11:15 and 11:45, but even then you'll get you food fast enough.

Ambiance - while a simple interior, there is still places to sit both inside and outside. I typically take the food back to my office space, but on a nice day there are worst corporate parks to sit at.

Food - as past reviewers have stated, there are lots of different specials depending on the day of the week. My go-to favorites are the following:

- Chana Masala on Mondays - an appropriate level of spice with tons of flavor. Comes with rice, naan and raita.
- Italian Coldcut on Tuesdays, which come with a side of chips. In general, I his sandwiches were my go-to when I couldn't make a decision
- Chicken Burrito Bowls on Wednesday - a much better value than places nearby and always filled me up. Probably my personal favorite. I would typically add hot sauce too.
- Butter Chicken w/ Naan and Rice on Thursdays - similar to the Chana in that it was very flavorful with a touch of spice, but nothing that should deter away those that aren't completely averse to it. Super popular - they typically sell out before one.
- For breakfast, his sandwiches are the best deal in the area! Fresh bagels and egg with your choice of meat and cheese. Highly, highly recommend!

In general, I also liked the paninis and his chicken quesadilla. I would occasionally get salads, although these were typically my least preferred option.

Overall - for great service and good food at some of the best prices in Montgomery County, you can't go wrong with Rock Cafe! I know they'll also take larger orders if you call ahead of time, so great for work/team events too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair acessable, on ground floor with openable doors.“

“The place is so neat and the staff are very welcoming and polite. I got exactly what I ordered and I recommend their steak and cheese. It’s so delicious and they pay attention to the toppings I request.
Try it for yourself and thank me later!?“

“Great little spot inside the office building. They were very accommodating to my husband's low salt diet. The bulgolgi was fantastic and the chicken salad and unsalted fries that my husband had were both delicious, even without salt. Whenever I'm this way again, I have a new place to stop into.

Dietary restrictions: Accommodating to low salt diet“

“excelente buena comida excelente servicio“

“Wonderful deli food, great service. Salami and eggs were done perfectly and Matzo Ball Soup was to die for!“

“NYC prices right here in NEPA! Good thing my teeth aren't false. They would have fallen out by my jaw dropping so far! I tried this place for a second time ...customer service was lacking and this short lady with dark hair who seems to rule the roost with an accent from the city, comes off so judgemental and cocky! terrible actor. Hate this place.“

“I’ve been coming here since the ’80s and have had hundreds of their sandwiches—never once disappointed. My latest was the small cold-cut: delicious, with soft bread that tasted homemade. Thanks again for another satisfying meal!“

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

“I Love this Place!!! Great Prices, Food and Customer Service!!! I Did Not Get a Chance to Take Other Pictures But The Next Trip I Will. Awesome Grilled Chicken Salad With Great Flavor!!! This Place Needs Longer Hours of Operation...! But, it’s Still The Best Small Deli Shop in the DMV Area!!!“

“im from further up north and shops like these take the form of standalone delis. i was disappointed bc i couldn't find a cheap BEC anywhere. but i learned that those places can be found in the ground floor of hospitals and offices. and they are amazing.

this place is no exception. seems like one lady runs it all, and she provides excellent service.“
