Carvings
2021 F St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Carvings is a beloved neighborhood deli where careful craftsmanship extends beyond the sandwiches to every detail, from a perfectly balanced house-made lemonade to thoughtfully constructed subs like their standout Reuben. With roots stretching back to 2008, this mom-and-pop spot has cultivated a welcoming atmosphere that invites both quick coffee runs and lingering lunches, where the night crew takes genuine pride in elevating each order. Whether you're grabbing a coffee and breakfast or settling in to enjoy a steak and cheese sub with the works, you'll find the kind of intentional hospitality that keeps locals coming back.”
What to expect

Had their Rueban sandwich which was delicious! And the Joe's lemonade was really good too (didn't burn my throat nor was it too strong, like lemonade usually does/is)
