Compliments Only - Washington
526 8th St SE, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Compliments Only brings playful energy to Capitol Hill with creative, generously-portioned sandwiches that have genuinely won over skeptics of the neighborhood's newer spots—think the Big Dipper for fall cravings or the hilariously-named Crunchy Boi alongside quality coffee. The owner's welcoming presence is woven into the vibe, and regulars are clearly invested in rotating through the signature builds on excellent bread, making this feel less like a grab-and-go chain and more like a neighborhood spot that actually cares.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu.

Subbs by Carl, Mother Rucker's, A Litteri, Mangialardo's, I'm a big fan of some of D.C.'s long-time sandwich shops. That's why I'm a little suspect of newcomers, but Compliments Only humbled me. Here's why. 1) Food: There are 11 subs on the menu or you can build your own. Both…
The food was excellent. I got the roast beef boi (minus pickles and oil & vinegar); my daughter got the crunchy boi, as is. Both were great. Huge portions. Great bread (I’d love a toasted option, but it was very good). The oil didn’t make the bread soggy, which she really…
