“Run by a nice family, this place has been a winner for years. While I do miss Ezat, who used to bake the flatbreads in the back of the store, this market carries many types of great ME breads and many other ME products. While their canned or bottled foods can be priced a bit high, this market is an overall winner! Love it! Superb!“

“Talk about a hidden gem! Nestled in the ground floor of a corporate office building, at that! It's a bit tough to find, but it's totally worth it for the food once you do.Do yourself a favor and order the Bulgogi Sub. It's an undisputed 10/10.“

“When I ponder the highlights of The Deli, it is hard to decide. Is it the fantastic subs on fresh bread? The kind staff? The nostalgia of dining in a family-owned business that was a part of my childhood? Is it the fact that the owner used to cut my subs into thirds so I could share with Mom and Dad, then he switched to cutting them in half after Dad died without me having to ask? It is ALL of these things and more.“

“Truly can’t express enough how much I love this place! We live out of state & every time we are in the area we make a stop. The food is always 10/10 and the service is always great. I’ve never been to a diner/deli that has such an extensive list of vegan options - and they are all DELICIOUS. Our favorite Virginia staple! Go here!!!

“Yesterday, I ordered an omelet and grilled chicken salad through DoorDash. The vegetables in the salad were very fresh and well-composed, and the grilled chicken was delicious. The omelet was also delicious, and the home fries that came with the combo were delicious. I'm happy to have found this place and will order from there often.“

“Went here every time I had to work in the area. Santa Monica and fries were my go to. Sometimes when I was in the area for the day I would get breakfast in addition to lunch later, they are that good. The Chinese they had at the to-go bar was also a reliable choice. Don't get there that often any more though, but they are still what they were years ago.“

The brisket was so yummy, the chopped liver to die for!! From ordering to picking up couldn’t have been better!! Thank You!! Warm up was so easy too!!“

“20241031 First time here. Bring cash to save credit card fee $$$. This is a very simple deli with a reasonably priced menu. I got the warmed combo sandwich that came with lots of meat! I wish there was an option to add some veggies like onions, raw or grilled. I also would have liked it better if each slice of meat was grilled separately, which would be tastier. I should have asked for the bread to be warmed on the grill as well. I need to lower my expectations ?. The employee was friendly and helpful. I wished he mentioned the daily special, which was displayed by the register and not by the overhead menu. I would have gotten that instead of a sandwich. I like their drink options. I never had soursop drink, and it was not sour (thankful) and it was real good! The owner was very nice. If I come back, I will try the special.“

“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!“

“This is the place I’ve been looking for since I moved to the area. Everything is food as you could make at home, which is just what I wanted. I go here for breakfast regularly since the pricing is good and the food is filling. If you want to wow yourself, this probably isn’t what you are looking for. If you want somewhere you will likely keep coming back each week and would put into a regular rotation, then look no further. Family owned business, they make the food in front of you. If the wait time is too much for you, order ahead. I’ll continue to give this business my money, they deserve it.“

“Stopped in to get this restaurant’s reputed Banh Mi. It was Sunday so a tad busy, about half a dozen people waiting on their Bank Mi orders. It was well worth the wait. The shredded pork and tofu Banh mi we had were fresh, large in size, and delicious. Definitely the best we’ve had in the DMV so far. Now we know why there was a long line. We’ll be back next time for the buy 5 get one free deal.
Vegetarian options: Banh mi, bao, and desserts“

“We have a lunch date every other Tuesday when our house cleaners come. We hadn't been here, and saw it had good ratings. It's a modest establishment, dated but clean. I had a Reuben, and my wife had chicken salad on a sub roll with lettuce and onion. Most patrons seemed happy and familiar, likely coming from the surrounding offices. The owners welcomed and checked on us, a nice touch. My sandwich was larger than expected, and hers was too. She would've liked a little salt and tarragon, but didn't ask for either. No complaints.“
“This place is absolutely amazing, a hidden gem nonetheless. I came here because I needed a quick lunch and it was the closest sandwich shop near me on my way to the office, the sandwich was INCREDIBLE!! Portions are very reasonable, prices are great and I surely will be coming back at least once a week, will definitely be strolling around the neighborhood and stopping by with my boyfriend next weekend. Forget any chain sandwich place when you could come here. Highly recommended if you need a freshly made lunch or breakfast sandwich. Also this place is super clean, after every customer the owners clean the place and it’s spotless, very sanitary.“
“We stopped in here for a quick bite because we were at this building for something else. Although the selections are limited, the food is fresh and tasty. We want to return and have some of their other offerings. Staff was friendly, fast and helpful.“

“Stepping into Sophia's Deli, located intriguingly in a hospital environment, one might not expect a culinary delight. However, this eatery shatters all preconceptions, serving up a steak and cheese sandwich that can only be described as a masterpiece of comfort food.The sandwich itself was a testament to simplicity done right. Encased within a wheat sub, it was generously laden with succulent steak and a lavish amount of cheese, melting together in a symphony of flavors. Each bite was a harmonious blend of tender meat and gooey cheese, making it a hearty and satisfying meal.Accompanying the sandwich was a cup of coffee, a perfect foil to the rich flavors of the meal. The total cost, a modest $12, felt like a bargain for such quality, especially considering the usual fare one might expect at a hospital deli.Beyond the food, Sophia's Deli offered an ambiance that added to the overall experience. The environment was not only visually appealing but also had an inviting aroma that set the stage for the meal. The service was lovely, with staff members exuding warmth and efficiency, ensuring a pleasant and swift dining experience.Sophia’s Deli stands as a beacon of quality and comfort, a surprising find in a setting where one might least expect a memorable meal. It's a reminder that great food can be found in the most unexpected places, offering a respite and a touch of normalcy in an otherwise clinical environment. For those seeking a delicious, filling meal at a reasonable price, Sophia’s Deli is undoubtedly a go-to spot.

Parking: Parking can get tight on the cafe side of the building. Go around to the other side for a larger lot or access to the parking garage.

“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.“

“Super fantastic customer service and food! Leonard was amazing. Much appreciated after a long day.“
“There used to be another deli/coffee shop restaurant in this location, which before the pandemic, was crowded. But after the pandemic, barely I saw people going there, since many offices around the area have been gone or are not working full load.Anyway,I went there again to get a coffee, and I notice a new deli/coffee shop business there: now, Capital Cuisine.The owner was there, a polite and friendly gentleman.I got my coffee, and though the price was good, I didn't like the taste that much.The restaurant was sadly empty.Overall, not sure the owner can keep his coffee shop restaurant alive at that location, since again not that many people go there anymore.I think the owner may put more time and budget into local advertising, to grab the attention of the close-by offices/businesses, especially those which are within walking distance, therefore more people may go there and visit his restaurant.“

“Dominion Eats is my favorite deli / grill in Virginia. The deli uses fresh, high-quality ingredients, which really sets their sandwiches apart. Additionally, their breakfast burritos are the best in town. It is a must-visit if you’re in the area and craving delicious, fresh breakfast and lunch options!“
“A small but mighty market. Staff is friendly.
There is a selection of beer, wine, snacks, & drinks. There is also fresh hot and cold food made to order.
I love popping in here for a nice cold turkey sandwich and a bag of salt and vinegar chips.
The turkey sandwich isn't fancy or anything and is a standard brown sack lunch type but it's great in my book.“
“I think sometimes people expect American style service but that is not the case here. We have to be realistic about who is employed here and perhaps who owns it, so expect those standards. I agree we should be given a top notch service regardless of the fact, mainly, because we are in the USA but this establishment is not a 5 star restaurant, it has never published to be nor it is part of a multibillion chain of restaurants so expect an average customer service style. Now when it comes to food……. Yum! I have been coming to this restaurant for over 6 years and it has never disappointed me with their food. It has a huge variety and their food is authentic Latino/Hispanic. I can for once vouch for their service and food. Maybe, I have not experienced their full on service since the majority of the time I carry out but I have never been given nothing but an “ok” service and delicious food! I highly recommend their food… their service i personally have never had any concerns but perhaps, management needs to look at these messages and do something about their service to attract more customers. The lack of space takes some of the entrance space so it makes it look smaller and their cleaning routine needs to be improved.“
“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.“

“Santini’s staff knows how to make a great Lamb Gyro, NY Subs, Meatballs Subs and their signature boardwalk fries. A small wood bar with HDTV tuned to soccer, baseball, or football depending on the time of year.“
“Honey baked ham is a secret gem. People forget they serve everything from full meals to amazing sandwiches. And they offer order online and pick up in store. So you can be in out and quick. This location was really quick and super clean. If you are looking for a side dish and cant decide. Try the Mac and cheese it is really good.“

“I work in the office of the bistro and I have to say that all of the food here is so delicious! My favorite is breakfast and my go-to is an egg, sausage or bacon, and cheese in a croissant. On top of that, the employees are super friendly and very helpful. Special thanks to the ladies who serve me every morning, you are all so very sweet! Keep up the good work!!“

“As a New York Pizza lover, my pizza standards are extremely high and I’m big on taste and size. This place assuredly get 10 out of 5 stars; with no equivocations!!! It’s going to be hard transitioning back to a typical mundane pizza restaurant after experiencing Santini’s. Grateful to finally know there is a true authentic New York pizza restaurant in the DC area. I also appreciate the professional friendly service. Did I mention that i travel 45 miles to get to the closest Santini’s?! 👍👍“

“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!“
