“The food is absolutely amazing! It's fresh, full of flavor and unlike anything else in our area. Nikki is a doll. She and Jose are a dynamic duo! 10/10“

“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.“

“Nice cafeteria. Very friendly staff. Good place to meet friends and make new ones.Dishes aren't completely clean but clean enough. A few flies flying around. Expensive because it's Northern Virginia.Good place to eat. Recommended if you're in this hotel already.“

“Wow! I’m mind blown of the quality of the bagels especially with the garlic & herbs cream cheese. The bagel was so moist and soft with essence of grandmas bake goods.

Great service and I’m so glad it popped up in my neighborhood. Yummm !!!!!“

“Fluffy pancakes, crispy hash browns, and endless coffee — what's not to love? The service is fast and friendly, and the menu has something for everyone, any time of day. Whether you're a pancake purist or an omelet fan, IHOP delivers every time.“

“Feels like something out of the ‘80s in the best way: letter board menu, cash only, Michael Jackson music, picture of Pope John Paul II on the wall, etc. Service can be a little spotty but the staff are always friendly. I’ve eaten here many times and everything I’ve had off the menu is great, just sometimes things can be unavailable because the place is so popular and closes early“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“Great staff - delicious breakfast!“

“This cafe is the best part of cafes. Amazing tasty food. Genuinely good coffee. Friendly staff. I love the atmosphere. The seating is cozy and there’s always calming music playing. The free water is infused water! In the morning this is the place to wake up in and it will set your day off for success.“

“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.“

“We stop in because my daughter with special Down syndrome needed to use the bathroom really bad. Even though there was a no public bathroom policy, the young lady althat greeted us was very gracious and allowed her to use it. Unfortunately, I did not get her name. I decided to place an order
At this point Kia assisted me and she was very hospitable and welcoming. But what impressed me the most was the cleanliness of tje restaurant. I often get nervous allowed my daughter to use public restrooms, but this one was very clean and Kia stood at the door while I went in to assit my daughter to clean herself and get dress. A definite 10/10 experience. I'll be back!“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“I stopped by Eggs&Sushi a couple of nights ago for a takeout meal. This was my first experience there. I ordered a Steak and Cheese sub which turned out to be very good. I did not eat there, but the restaurant was clean and quiet with a fair amount of seating. I'd go back again.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“One of the best bagels I’ve ever had. Most definitely would reccomend. I had an everything bagel toasted and was only $2.75. There is also free water there and honey, etc. Nice atmosphere with a window to see the cats at the next door cat cafe. Prettt aesthetic seating location and many options that are very reasonably priced.“

“Celebrating my wife’s birthday!“

“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 :)“

“Blueberry is the most popular flavor at Mission Muffins, but don’t skip the chocolate, cinnamon, or apple muffins. There’s even a chocolate-chip muffin affectionately named “A Milk Chocolate Chip Off The
Old Block.” Add banana to the muffin mix, and Mission Muffins calls it “Bananas And Milk (Chocolate Chips, That Is).”

Mission Muffins bakes yummy treats, and they are also on a mission to help people in need. Located inside a small trailer, Mission Muffins is a job-training program for Central Union Mission, one of the city’s oldest non-profits helping people find homes, jobs, and clothes so they can be safe and happy. Because of the mission’s inspiring work, thousands of DC residents now have better lives and brighter futures.

Here’s how it works. Mission Muffins teaches people how to bake and sell muffins and interact with customers so that they can earn a stable income. These activities help them develop important skills in retail, customer service, and time management. Once the participants move on from Mission Muffins, they are ready to go out into the world as
good employees elsewhere. Mission Muffins offers them a pathway to income and security.

In addition to offering delicious muffins here, Mission Muffins serves “Mission Mud” coffee to adults, of course, from DC’s oldest roastery. They also sell breakfast burritos and sandwiches. The breakfast sandwich here isn’t what you’d expect – it comes with an egg and meat patty inside a jalapeno and corn muffin. It’s one of the top sellers.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A bn la cocina más rapidez“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“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.“

“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.“

“For $25 at lunch, honestly, it was a great value! They had a made to order pasta bar, wine and beer, sandwiches, salad bar, soup, hot entree, and dessert bar. Yes, the options were limited but overall everything was good. The place was pretty empty, and there was no one at the front desk so we had to walk in and find someone to seat us. Also, the sign says 18% auto gratuity added for parties of 6 or more, but we were a party of 2 and they added it anyway. Overall, for the price, it was worth it.“

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

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

“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,“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Visiting DC with my son and staying right next door at the Hamilton Hotel. We came for lunch yesterday and the food was so delicious—and the veggies super fresh—that we had to come back for breakfast today :). The space is clean and comfortable. They also have convenient grab-and-go options, which are perfect to pick up for a lunch break at the Smithsonian. Loved the free lemon water, too—a huge plus if you don't usually order drinks like me!“

“Tsion was my wonderful server! The service was perfect, my order was exactly as I wanted it and the food was well prepared and delicious. The restaurant was clean, the overhead music was not overwhelming and the check was handled in a timely fashion but did not make me feel like I was being rushed out. Overall, I had a great experience and I recommend this location! Thank you! 😊“
