The breakfast sandwiches were very good. Cost was reasonable, and the staff were very polite and kind! Actually ate there 4 out 5 days we were in DC.

The Ham and cheese sandwich and the corned beef sandwich was really good. For something quick and satisfying, the food and the atmosphere was great. The only issue I had was the decaf coffee was very strong.
