I work in the Metropolitan Building where this deli is located and the owner is so friendly every time I go in whether I'm buying a breakfast sandwich or just some candy. I've tried the sausage breakfast sandwich, cold cuts and chicken tenders. Everything is made to order and always tastes good! The snack/drink prices are a little high but that's what you pay for convenience. When they aren't busy, they even bring your food upstairs for you. There's a Walgreens across the street but I'd rather support a small, family owned business! read more

Cafe X-press is an easy deli for a quick bite to eat. I stopped by Cafe X-press to grab a small breakfast, which was a bacon, egg, cheese sandwich and a cup of regular coffee. Overall, I thought my sandwich was fine. The deli has a nice variety of various breakfast and lunch sandwiches, so everyone should find something that they should like. The total for my meal was about $11 with tip, so I guess the prices were not too bad. Although the cafe is kind of small, it has a few tables so customers can consume their food on-site, but I think most folks grab their food and go. I thought the gentleman that took my order was pretty nice. He seemed pretty approachable because he knew quite a few customers by their first names. While I would not go out of my way to get a bite from Cafe X-press, I think it's a decent spot for folks who work and/or live within a few blocks of the deli. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. This sandwich that I purchased, was the absolute WORST Pastrami & Corned Beef I have EVER eaten. It's called "The Manhattan." It's a combo. No only was the meat sparse, but extremely unappealing. I'm from NYC. Maybe my expectations were too high. All I know, is that I will NEVER, step foot into this place again. I do not recommend. read more

Cafe X-press - Corned Beef & Pastrami - "The Manhattan." - Cafes Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Great little carry out .My sandwich was delicious . Service was quick. Now I'm trying to just use 85 characters.

I recently moved into the neighborhood and I've been curious about trying this spot and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Chevy Chase from the specialty sandwiches. Every bite was delicious. The cafe is quiet with lots of snack and drink options. Plus the service is quick! I'm looking forward to stopping by again. read more

I'd gone past the sign on the sidewalk many times over the past year and finally decided to walk over because I had a taste for a club sandwich for lunch. It's a little hidden and in the cut but there's plenty of signage so you can't miss it. They have outdoor seating as well as tables inside should you choose to dine in. Their menu items include burgers, cold & hot sandwiches, subs, wraps, soups, salads and smoothies. I enjoyed my super club sandwich and the quality of the ingredients and taste was not lacking. They also serve breakfast...I'll have to try something from the breakfast menu during my next visit. read more

Awesome deli for a quick, authentic morning breakfast. They're kind of tucked away in a corner and have a $5 credit card minimum but other than that, the prices are reasonable and the food is good quality. I've only tried their egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. They customize it to your preference and have many options for ingredients and choice of bread. read more

Cafe X-press - Veggie Egg and Cheese Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Walked into this cafe for a quick breakfast while waiting for my Walgreens photos to develop. It looks like a cafe that had a lot of regulars. There were construction workers hanging out at a table. There are a few tables inside and a couple outside. I had to the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin - it was very good! My husband had a bagel with cream cheese, which was also solid. The guy had the counter was nice and efficient. Food came out quickly and price was pretty cheap. We would def come back for breakfast! read more

Wonderful Cafe. I've been getting lunch here for years. The food is always delicious, quick, and well priced. I work right around the corner so it is extremely convenient. I highly recommend! read more

This is a lovely and affordable place for breakfast or lunch. I have been here twice and once last year early in the morning before an appointment when PJ's did not open yet. The staff is very friendly and there a few tables you can eat/drink at or you can take out. read more

Nice little breakfast joint. Staff were very polite and pleasant, very clean cafe with a variety of dishes. Simple and fresh sausage English muffin sandwich. Great local spot for quick food and any other traveler necessities if needed. Check them out if you can! read more

Cute cozy quiet cafe is the best description of this place. My family and I have been coming here for years and the food, customer service, and quality of the food is consistent. Don't hesitate to visit. read more

Don't sleep on this cafe. Great food. I've had breakfast sandwiches, lunch platter specials, and hot sandwiches. All are amazing, and very reasonably priced. The service is always fast, even when this little place gets packed for lunch. Only complaint is that the online ordering system they use is quirky. If I choose the vegetarian option for the breakfast sandwich, it forces me to choose a meat to continue ordering. read more

Hidden in an alley off of Georgia Avenue, this little deli is the perfect go-to for the working peeps of Silver Spring. Amazing breakfasts...I know all little deli's are known for great breakfasts but seriously, this one is the best. Get the bagel with salmon. You won't regret it Also, they offer great beverage selections including probiotics, kombuchas and vinegar based drinks. Add on the fact that they deliver, who could ask for anything more. read more

Awesome little deli. Great sandwiches (Norfolk Sub - chicken salad + bacon and russian dressing, so good.) Easy to run here for lunch from NIH. read more

Great cafe in silver spring. Ordered a New Yorker - a nice warm sandwich on a cool day. Looks like a "mom and pop" establishment. Service was fast and friendly. Perfect for a working lunch break. read more

Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious. The food is consistently good, well packaged and well seasoned. The Reuben is great and so is the BLT. I typically order delivery and even when I ask for something extra they accommodate me. read more

I feel like Superwoman today! Why? Because I got my coconut water fix at Cafe X-Press. Did you know that one cup of coconut water contains more electrolytes than most sports drinks and more potassium than one banana? This explains my dunking abilities, X-ray vision and my ability to chew bubble gum and walk at the same time. Plus, the grilled salmon salad I got here was super fresh. The vegetables were so crispy, colorful and delicious. It was a very simple salad and definitely very light on the salmon, but accompanied with the creamy ginger dressing it was the perfect lunch on a gorgeous summer day. This cafe is technically on Georgia Avenue, but it's much more convenient to access on foot - it's actually in a little corner cove right off Georgia Avenue to it's virtually impossible to spot from the street. They offer plenty of breakfast and lunch options, hot and cold. The cafe is extremely small, so there is a bit of a claustrophobic feel to it. Grab your food to go, unless you want to sit at the one or two small tables on the sidewalk. read more

What a great find a few months ago . I would not of been able to find this place if it wasn't for a quick Yelp search. They have a little sign with an arrow pointing to their location which is down a little ally way otherwise you would totally miss this place. I had a wrap and my son had a burger and French fries which were both huge portions and reasonably priced. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

I was hungry after walking around Silver Spring downtown with my fiance, and we were looking around places to eat. It snowed a lot so many places were closed :( It's actually kind of hidden so couldn't see the place very well on Georgia Avenue, but I found "new management" sign that was near a parking lot. As soon as I saw "open" sign on I was so happy lol. We went in and decided to order something to fill my belly. I was so starving and ordered some soup and sandwiches. They were very delicious! Not sure if it was because I was very hungry, but I still consider myself a picky eater. My sandwich was really fresh and my soup was warm and creamyy. Even my fiance (who is a European) said deli meat here is delicious and fresh. Even though I don't live near Silver Spring, I want to stop by this cafe again when I visit my friends and family members here. :) Edit: First I posted on Cafe X-press yelp page and I realized that there is Cafe Xpress Number 5 which has the same address as Cafe X-press's...?? o.O They're registered as different businesses for some reason (and the same location).. I first posted there but pictures here (seem like the same place but..) are more recent and accurate. Since I don't know which one at this moment (I guess the owner will deal with it with Yelp), I posted on both. :P read more

The restaurant is very clean and has a little bit of everything they have a great option for food breakfast brunch or even lunch customer service is amazing they are a very nice family owned business support your local business. read more

Stop here for lunch the other day. The deli was hopping. My order was prepared quickly and accurate. I ordered a BLT on wheat. They did not disappoint. read more

Love this place! Reminds me of the gourmet delis in NYC. With its high quality products, without the NYC prices. Everyone know that New Yorkers are snobs when it comes to our deli sandwiches, pizza and coffee. I had a Brooklyn sandwich just to try it out, since Brooklyn is my hometown. It was superb. Love this place wish I lived nearby. read more

This cafe is near my job. I've ordered breakfast sandwiches 3 times and each were wrong. 1st, had cheese and turkey bacon (ordered regular bacon and no cheese), 2nd ordered sandwich with jelly - no jelly. 3rd ordered on white toast with jelly - given wheat toast and jelly on the side that was old. Have "complained" each time and sandwiches were fixed HOWEVER, I had to purchase the new sandwiches. Not once was there an offer to give me a complimentary sandwich even after I told them I didn't eat the wrong sandwiches because THEY WERE WRONG! The owner always acts like he's upset when you come in unless of course you're a regular. The son is nice but it doesn't fix that I've paid in the excess of $4 for sandwiches that were wrong. Terrible!! read more

Best deli I have found in Silver Spring. Excellent club, perfectly toasted, shredded lettuce, crisp bacon.

I love this place! It is in walking distance from apartments, the subway, the court house and office buildings. They make great breakfast sammiches! Their coffee perks me right up! It has a hidden entrance, but you can park on the corner of cameron and georgia (where the bank is) and walk through the building. I will take Tara's advice and get my electrolytes on with that coconut water! read more

I'm a sucker for local places. Great prices and local vibe. Beware: five dollar minimum for credit cards so bring cash! A little slow, however they were super willing to start a decaf brew for me since there was none. Very kind! I think I'll be coming back. read more

This place makes great bagel breakfast sandwiches. read more

***** BREAKFAST REVIEW ONLY ***** Ordered breakfast for the first time today and it was absolutely disgusting! The scrambled eggs were clearly cooked in old oil or grease and were inedible. The bacon was incredibly greasy, as if they fried bacon just for the fat to fry my bacon in. The home fries and the buttered toast were the only edible part of "the Rancher" combo I bought. I will still order lunch from here but now I know to stick with bringing oatmeal from home for breakfast! read more

Staff is friendly and makes an effort to remember you and your order :) Food is good, breakfast sandwiches hit the spot and the coffee is surprisingly good. Lots of variety drink and snack-wise, and lots of variety of sandwiches that are made on the spot. A great spot for a quick breakfast, lunch or snack, especially for those working near in Silver Spring. read more

I am a regular here. They know my lunch order and are extremely friendly. Fairly priced, quality ingredients, and interacting with the owners is always a bright spot in the middle of a workday. Next time you're thinking of going to Einstein Bagels or Panera or Potbelly's, don't. Pop on over to Cafe X-Press. You'll be happy you did. read more

Haven't had a bad experience yet. The staff is friendly and the food is good. Most items are priced well but some things are pricey - i.e. fruit and salads. It is small and a little hole-in-the-Wally in the nicest way possible. The space is a little overstuffed but clean. Has a few seats and tables to sit inside and right outside. Best breakfast in the neighborhood! read more

I ordered the Chicken Sub and it was hot, fresh, and tasty! And ohhh so soft! I'm traveling so I am glad to find this little gem of a spot!

I got a panini and it was delicious. Fair prices and they were super nice which goes a long way in my book I will definitely be going back

This place needs to understand what ventilation means. You can smell the kitchen all the way to the corner but the problem is that the entire Place smells like the kitchen and you will too if you go in. When I went I ordered and quickly stepped outside, I already smell like fried stuff in those two seconds. If you're heading home that's not a problem, but if you're going to work you going to smell like that all day. Got a ham and cheese sandwich which took forever to make, it was decent but not great. read more

My coworkers and I absolutely love eating here! So many options and the prices are really fair. The portions they give for things like the breakfast platters are absolutely massive, and I cannot stress how delicious the *freshly cooked* meals are! Definitely worth the extra few yard walk to eat homemade deli food versus processed chain food. Highly recommend!! read more

Great Silver Spring on the go breakfast and lunch spot. I'm a local and have tried quite a few of their breakfast and lunches. Everything I've had has been tasty. The staff is friendly and the prices are cheap. It's a great bang for your buck and a must go if you work in the area! read more

This place is the best!!! I live down the street from cafe xpress and I love coming here. My favorite is the breakfast burritos, and their paninis are amazing as well. The employees are very friendly and helpful, they always try their best to accommodate your needs. I highly recommend this place! read more

Small wait time. All made to order. Nice snack and drink selections. Everyone knows Eric by name. Service is good. They bring your food around the counter to you. You can eat here although I haven't. Food is good. Turkey burger could be better. I favor the Rock Creek and the Eggplant Parm. read more

I love the food and the family that runs the cafe are nice. I work I the building and go there nearly everyday.
