Lots to chose from at this cafe. Eat outside on the patio, take it to go or eat indoors. Got the gyro and it was huge. Fork and knife required. Tasted great and filled me up for a day in DC!
I love my morning fruit. ???? Watermelon and grapes ???? if I could drink wine at work????
Not a bad choice for a hot bar/salad bar. They also have a grill for sandwiches and other items. Prices are okay, though the hot bar/salad bar is priced by weight. Food gets scarce on the hot bar around 1:30 until they close to eliminate waste, so plan ahead if you want something specific.
Pho was good but the veggie option only had bean sprouts so I asked fr extra veggies and the penny pincher manager nicely showed me to the veggie bar where I grabbed a few bell pepper, onions and mushrooms slices. That totaled .29 cents ad she then proceeded to charge me 2.81 for then when she added to the total of the soup which I paid. But it's the principle of how she treats her costumers and she's the manager ???? also didn't give me more Sriracha even though it was such a little amount in the tiny container. Sad attitude ????
My oat latte was undrinkable. It tasted like dishwater. It was bitter and flavorless at the same time.
Cranberry muffin from Costco or something like Costco. Chairs were uncomfortable. Internet service was not good.
This is my first time here and I'll say, I thoroughly enjoyed the bibimbap that I ordered. For that don't know what it is, it's a Korean dish with white rice, marinated thinly, sliced grilled beef, with an assortment of vegetables (spinach, bean sprouts, lettuce, etc.), and a fried egg on top. It usually includes some red pepper paste for a bit of heat. The picture below is after I ate some...the portion is generous, in my opinion.
Currently, the hot bar is closed, but they do have a salad bar (pay per pound of food). I got a few kimbap (Korean rice rolls)
For those still needing to come into the office to work, it's a good choice away from the McDonalds and Subway due to the options.
I wish to give 3.5 stars, but it's not 4 for sure. Star for opening early, having hot and cold salad bars, making sandwiches for order. Star for having Pho and Bibimbap on the list. Star for 25 discount after 3.30PM. Friendly service, but the place is a little greasy. Sometimes food is overcooked, Pho is just warm and Bibimbap miss any flavor.
The place is inside the same building as the Federal Center metro station, just on another corner of the 3rd street. If you can see railroad tracks - go to the bridge over 3rd street - Cafe will be there. Also as of now (January 2020) the building is under renovation and Cafe is hard to see due to scaffolding.
The fried fish is so good. The only thing is that you have to call in the order a day in advance. Note: I ate half of the food prior to taking the picture. ????
