Crema's Take

This cozy Arlington spot punches way above its weight with vibrant Korean and American breakfast fare that keeps regulars coming back—think perfectly seasoned pork bulgogi that's generous enough for multiple meals and bibimbap bowls loaded with fresh vegetables and fried eggs. The tiny dining area fills up quick during work hours, but the friendly grill crew moves fast and keeps prices remarkably reasonable, making it an ideal spot to fuel up before heading into the office or meeting a friend for lunch. Whether you're grabbing a K-BBQ sub on your way through or settling in with coffee and a full breakfast, Mike's has that unpretentious neighborhood energy where the food does all the talking.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Wifi.

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…

The pork bulgogi BBBox was enough to last me three lunches straight. This is my new favorite work lunch spot. The meat and flavor are awesome. As a New Yorker, I’m impressed.

I came out of the metro stop on the way to work and saw this little unsuspecting shop. I decided later that day to go to lunch with my coworkers and suggested this place. There were quite a lot of people in line for these sandwiches, which was a very good sign already.…

Really good food at really good prices. They may have a small sitting space, but their food packs a punch while making it light on your wallet, digital or physical. Try the K-BBQ Sub. it's like a Philly cheesesteak, but Korean style. Be prepared for a slight bit of heat, though.
