“Nice spot.

Staff are all on top of things and run a tight ship. Place is always clean and stocked.

I’ve had many of their sandwiches and some of their soups. I’ve always been pleased. I particularly like the spicy sandwiches.

I’ve lived in one of the apartments above the shop for a few months now, and can attest to the quality being consistent over a 6 month period.“

“My server Jahniya W. was excellent with her knowledge of the menu and very welcoming! The preparation of my food was Fast, Fresh, & Delicious! I order French Toast, double egg, & 2 slices of Bacon. All of my items were made to perfection! The dinning area was clean & organize. I see this server becoming a manager at this facility soon!“

“Really enjoyed, simple, delicious, good variety. Pleasant service! We live about 2 hours away and were in the area, had never been there before and wanted to try it. Breakfast meanu and lunch menu available at the same time of day!!! We really enjoyed it.“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“First time trying Eggs and Suhsi. I had to get my car fixed and it was right across the street. I ordered miso ramen with pork chashu and salmon rolls. It was really good, good portions and reasonable price! I’m glad I tried it out and would be interested in coming back to try more on the menu. The staff was also very kind and attentive. I’m glad I tried it out.“

“Meaza was absolutely terrific! She made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Her warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness made our entire dining experience exceptional.

She is truly one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had. She anticipated our needs, checked on us at just the right times, and made us feel like valued guests throughout the meal.

Outstanding customer service like hers is rare. She is a tremendous asset to your restaurant and someone who should absolutely be training other staff members.

Thank you, Meaza, and iHop for making our visit such a memorable one!.

The Williams family“

“My waitress Ms. Zafirah was great! She was friendly, courteous and helpful. My good however was a problem. I’m 37 weeks prego. I ordered the trifecta with a pancake. Had to send it back 3 times in order to get hot food. Was not happy about the kitchen service but my waitress was nice.“

“Great food. Great people fun place to have great good with fun people“

“The Chai is my latest obsession! Stopped in while visiting the White House and was blown away. The food was freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely frequent this eatery if I lived locally. For now, I am ordering their Chai online.“

“Celebrating my wife’s birthday!“

“Kid said best gluten free sandwiches they have ever had 🤣. It was expensive for us but it was good and in a pinch of trying to find gluten free decently priced in georgetown it worked. Did not get contaminated but did take a gluten digest just in case. Hibiscus tea was pretty good too.“

“Update: It is still a favorite destination for Sunday brunch. There has been staffing changes but they are still friendly and great with children. When I order a special side, like sauteed spinach, the portion size has shrinked. Wait times are still reasonable even when it is busy and you do not have to wait long for your food. This is a location that can accommodate groups.“

“The seasonal coffees are the best :)“

“Most wonderful people. Great food. Bought one of every on the menu and it was only $27! I love that I am supporting a great cause and also eating hot breakfast and cute scones and muffins with hilarious names like "singin' the bluesberry"“

“HomeGrown in Northern Virginia is honestly such a great spot. From the moment you walk in, the place feels upscale but still comfortable and welcoming-not stuffy at all. The environment is clean, modern, and well put together, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a really good meal. The staff is a huge highlight. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. They're knowledgeable about the menu, quick to make recommendations, and make you feel taken care of without hovering. You can tell they really care about giving guests a great experience. And the food-absolutely delicious. Everything tastes fresh and high quality, with great flavors and attention to detail in every dish. It's the kind of food that keeps you talking about it atter the meal and already planning what you'll order next time. Overall, HomeGrown nails it with amazing food, an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere, and awesome staff. It's a place l'd happily go back to again and again. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding meal time and time again!“

“My experience with Alexander Dou has been enlightening. His strategies focus on careful analysis rather than rushing into trades. I appreciate the support and guidance he's provided, if you're interested in learning more, consider contacting him on Telegrm at Alexanderdou.“

“Crazy busy, old fashioned breakfast experience. Worth it for the food and fun atmosphere!“

“Love the friendly residents and staff. Just started living here and it already feels like home. The location is unbeatable (Whole Foods, dog park, Canal Park, Orange Theory, CVS...all within one block) and the cleanliness of the building is so nice. The 909 team is quick, responsive, professional, and friendly.“

“This is my go-to for lunch when I am at the office and I've been going for 5 years. Family run business that makes the best sandwiches in Tysons. It's in the basement of an office building and is a very utilitarian space--you don't come here for the atmosphere. That said, it is always clean and well stocked with non-alcoholic drinks. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are both great. You can eat there, or grab and take back to your office if you are nearby. My co-workers and I think the prices are on the low side, but that may be the economics of their location. A typical sandwich there is anywhere from $3-$5 cheaper than what you would expect topside in the Boro or Galleria, and the portions are actually bigger.

The owners are the best of best. Always welcoming and friendly.“

“Great staff and great food. The perfect neighborhood cafe.“

“I ordered pickup. I was greeted and directed to the pickup area. I arrived early & informed the staff but was told to wait. A few minutes later, a different staff member asked me my name and checked on my order. He returned with it at the appropriate time of my pickup time.“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“my dog had gone off his food and I tried all sorts of brands, he just wasnt liking anything, my last hope was to try lily kitchens dog food, and he absolutely loves the variety of foods, licks the bowl clean every time.“

“Service was great, and the steak tips with eggs were point on! Steak was a perfect medium, and the grilled onions had a little crunch left.
I don't know why I often think that IHOP is nothing special. This is so wrong because my past dining experience with IHOP is always positive. The most recent, steak tips and eggs, was one of the best meals that I have had in a while.
I will definitely go more often.“

“I have been following pura vida on social media and was beyond excited to hear a new location was opening at mosaic!
My first impressions - WOW!
The aesthetic, friendly staff, healthy food options and fast service exceeded my expectations. I tried the blue butterfly latte and the veggie omlette - both delicious and so beautifully presented.
I cannot wait to return and try other menu options! Thankyou pura vida for an overall awesome experience!“

“Metroplace Cafe in Vienna is one of those under-the-radar spots that delivers. When I say under-the-radar, I mean it. I have lived in the area and commuted past this office building for 30 years and never knew it had a cafe. If it wasn't for the recommendation of a friend, I still wouldn't know about it.

It’s a no-frills deli that kinda reminds me of a school cafeteria but with a surprisingly wide menu and seriously good prices. They even have some Korean dishes. We tried the reuben, the cheesesteak, and the California chicken panini — all freshly made and really solid. Nothing fancy, just honest, tasty food.

What really sets the place apart is Ben, the owner. He’s incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he cares about every customer who walks in. He also happens to specialize randomly in espresso drinks that would make James Hoffmann proud. Ben gave us latte, cappuccino, chai, espresso, and I forgot the rest to sample, all good. It’s rare to find that kind of coffee in a casual spot like this.

If you want something fresh, quick, and cheap, Metroplace Cafe is worth a visit.“

“Great cafe! They serve a good amount of food for a reasonable price. My wife and I stopped by for breakfast and had pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Cafe was clean and modern. Don't expect a dine-in restaurant. This is a your typical cafe that serves local offices. They have plenty of seating inside and outside the cafe, however. We sat outside and enjoyed breakfast during a nice quiet morning.“

“A bn la cocina más rapidez“

“I've only done the hot bar/salad bar here and not MTO. Everything always seems very fresh, there's a great variety. The cashiers are super quick. Drink selection is huge (fountain and bottled drinks). Great option if you're super hungry or just need a little snack since the bars are by weight.“

“Food was fresh and fast. Ordered cheddar cheese eggs and bacon with toast and made a sandwich
Damn good. My buddy had the avocado wrap and loved it, I recommend giving them a shot. Sorry i didn’t take photos but will next time and update,“

“I had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a half smoke with cheese. The half smoke was ok but far from the best. I probably wouldn’t buy it again. The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was good. Plenty of bacon. Parking isn’t the best but it’s manageable. You’ll find a spot in the street somewhere. They’re not wheelchair accessible.“

“Dropped by for dinner, and it was just a short walk from the Ritz. The food was ok, and the service was spotty. The place was pretty busy with hotel guests. The decor was nice and the lounge was posh. Good to see people out enjoying themselves.“

“We had a delightful breakfast at the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel! I especially loved the way they prepared the bacon and eggs. Opted for the buffet and sampled a bit of everything – all the dishes were hot and perfectly cooked without drying out. The seating was really comfortable too. A wonderful start to the day!“

“stopped in while on vacation food was great nice friendly staff reasonable prices“

“Only problem so far is fire alarm went off at 430am“

“First Trip: Tried the Beef Stew /w Collard Greens and Cabbage. The Beef stew was very well seasoned, no salt or pepper needed!!!! Greens and Cabbage on point! (Soul Food). I thought D.C. was lost when Soul Kitchen closed down during the Covid, we're back now!!!!!!“

“Brown Bag Catering has a user-friendly ordering portal that makes it easy to place orders without slowing down your day. Delivery was timely and everything arrived fresh. Pricing is reasonable for DC, and the menu options—like the ability to add a dessert tray and two bowls of salad to a sandwich platter—are a nice touch. Highly recommended.“

“love it there. So much to do and eat. Palette22 drew me there, and I found a great entertainment distinct full of fun times. I plein air painted Morse Alley. Cool spot.“

“A very solid by-weight deal for the amount of food, if you pick reasonably well (ofc nothing with bones, etc.). Chicken dishes are generally solid, as are their Brussels sprouts. A few nice tables outside or you can take it out to the park.“
