Sandwiches by Phillip

The food is not fresh and it’s nasty. I paid 12 for a BLF and 10 for a bacon egg and cheese and the bacon was hard very disappointing and I drove around looking for parking for 30 minutes

I don’t like to leave bad reviews. Typically I try and find redeeming qualities about places that I don’t like, but I can’t bring myself to do it here. But there’s not much choice unless you wanna trek to Union Station metro. The food needs salt, as in just a sprinkle to bring up the blandness level, not salt it to death. Dishes are not consistent in quality. One time I ordered a bagel and asked for it to be toasted and it was not. I ordered a burger once and it was so glance and dry. Their omelettes are not bad. Still need salt. Good selection of drinks though. Seating is comfy and spacious. Now the anecdotal, just my own take. Take this with a grain of salt. I told myself for a long time that it must be just me but it’s happened so often that it’s become a pattern: the kitchen staff here are… not friendly at all. And when I say “not friendly” I mean that they give off this judgy vibe. I don’t expect smiles and “sir” or “madam”, I actually hate that. I just want to it to be chill for everyone. I don’t know how to describe it but there’s just this vibe of awkwardness and uneasiness in the pit of my stomach whenever I go there and have to place an order. I know I may be reading too much into it but it just doesn’t sit well with me when I have to interact with the staff. The owners seem pretty chill tho. But maybe the working conditions and dynamic suck there, I don’t know, I just know that I almost dread going for food there lol. But like I said, not a lot of choices around here for me, so it is what it is. Again, take this with a grain of salt.

Staff is really friendly, welcomed us right as we came in, definitely positive energy. And the food was good quality/quantity at a reasonable price for a breakfast cafe in DC.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat before visiting the African American History museum. The place was clean, the people were nice, courteous and helpful. We ordered 2 turkey sandwiches on a croissant and the amount of meat was sufficient and they had the cranberry ginger ale that we love this time of year.

The food was very good. However, The staff was still wearing masks and I could barely understand what they were saying. Especially because of language barriers. They were mumbling behind their masks. I ordered potatoes as side and they put the potatoes into my omlette, eventhough I communicated my order three times. Very odd.
