Discovered this place by accident well randomness through Uber Eats...I had forgotten my breakfast and needed a specific meal based on my diet with my trainer...and LJ's came through. I then ordered food 2 more times in the next week and a half from them. I def have plans on trying their cheesesteak and gyro salad. The food portions are great, the flavor is there and because of the proximity to my job the food comes quickly and hot. I absolutely love the fresh fruit salads, and the coffee is STRONG! Strong coffee is good though, because it helped me get through my work day! read more

This cafe is tucked away in an office park. Immediately when you walk in it smelled amazing and I was greeted by two friendly workers. I ordered online and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. The bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel was great. The eggs weren't my favorite as they tasted mass made but overall it was a solid sandwich. The side of potatoes were good too, they were fried and seasoned well. The prices are very reasonable and they have a multitude of other subs, sides, and even bakery items. I'll definitely be back to try one of their specialty coffee drinks! read more

1.30.24 First time ordering from LJ's. They are in the same complex as my office and employees often go here. Having a salad isn't typically my first preference for a tasty lunch, but I generally like Chicken Caesar Salad so thought it was a good choice. Sadly I was mistaken. The chicken was dry, croutons were mushy, not enough dressing and the flavor wasn't great. I should have went for a sandwich, but was trying to be healthy since I was having an unhealthy dinner. Maybe next time I'll stick to one of their sandwiches and have a better experience. The upside of my experience was that I was able to place my order online and it was ready when I came to pick it up. read more

I can't believe I'm just finding out about this place. I literally work right next to it. My co worker told me about this spot and now I'm hooked. They serve breakfast and lunch and it's busy. It's busy for a reason. At first if you drive up you won't see it, there is a door in the back where you can get inside from but there is a walkway through some small bushes. Haha you can go inside the office building to get here too but the back way is easier. They have so many options to choose from. They have snacks, muffins,drinks. Sandwiches and pancakes. This is a one stop shop. I got their tuna wrap and it was good. My coworkers rave about their Ruban sandwich and go there weekly just for that. Customer service is top notch! This is one of those sneaky deli shops that you have to try out! No regret! read more

Came here for a quick breakfast and the reviews were right, it's great! Got a quick breakfast and coffee and was on my way.

My first visit. Freshly baked bread, and an excellent Italian cold cut, with Fries for $20... enough food for 2. Service is extraordinary for an office building cafe. I will be back. read more

A small jewel of a place, tucked away on the first floor of commercial building. Hard to find, but worth the effort. Amazing staff who obviously love their work and the best breakfast burrito I've had since moving from Texas. Highest recommendation. read more

This amazing place was very hard to find for someone new to the area BUT SO WORTH IT. Amazing breakfast and such the owner and staff were so nice. This is a gem. read more

My favorite breakfast bacon egg and cheese on croissant with home fries. Always greeted with a smile and nice convo

The atmosphere is welcoming, and there are plenty of tasty options to choose from. I enjoyed a flavorful steak and cheese, and I took home a chicken salad sandwich that was simply delicious! I will definitely be returning! read more

LJ's's café is in the first floor of my office building and I am a regular there for breakfast. Today I had the LJs omelette which is with bacon, ham, and sausage. It is served with grilled potatoes and two pieces of wheat toast. For $11 it is a solid value and is always delicious and cooked perfectly. On occasion we have them cater lunches for us which are always spot on and very good. Highly recommend! read more

Great food and very friendly service! Inside an office building. I got the chicken sandwich and added avocado. Husband got the ribeye steak and cheese. Both were great. Will come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Great food with great services and many options for you to choose from. Calm environment to sit and eat with quick workers if you want to just pick up and go. read more

Yesterday our office used LJ's Café to cater our pre Thanksgiving lunch. I must say, the food was the best that I have ever tasted from a caterer or restaurant. The turkey was fork tender and flavorful as well as the side vegetables of carrots and celery. The garlic mashed potatoes were amazing. I highly recommend using LJ's for a catered event or even for a family gathering. read more

Clean cafe and friendly staff. Took off one star for the expensive menu. Breakfast sandwiches are pricey ($6.95+); no sides (i.e. potatoes) and/or beverage (coffee or tea) included. You can get a full breakfast meal at the national fast food chains for half the price. read more

I have to give LJ & his wife who runs the other cafe across the walk way from our building, top stars. It's a family owned business who treats their staff & customers like FAM. You'd be amazed at the selection of food they offer and of course the humble prices. I use LJ's 1 for take out as most of my co-workers goes there, a handful eat in. For delivery, we use LJ's 2 where his wife operates from a non-access building...thanks Lockheed :-) You can get a full breakfast and or lunch for under $5-$10 & not just the average bagel/coffee & sandwich/chips. They have a FRESH salad & fruit bar, a hot bar with a great variety of diverse cuisine. I've seen co-workers come back with meatball hoagies to stir fry. At least once a week sometimes twice, I get the Mama Kat special which LJ's 1 makes especially for me. The ingredients: Spinach, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, dried cranberries & extra hummus on a Spinach Wrap, a bottle of Calypso Lemonade & a bag of Veggie Chips, all under $10...delicious! I use their catering services most times for our client meetings as they also offer special box lunches. They even offer Frequent Foodie cards. The best way to spend lunch & a few dollars during the work week. read more

This place is amazing! The menu's is very variable and affordable. No delivery charge when placing an order of $15.00 or more. read more

The Chicken pesto panini will get you right!!! I go here often on lunch at work since they are only a few feet away!

Great catered breakfast for the staff @Twinbrook! We had assorted breakfast sandwiches, yogurt parfait's, fruit cups and coffee. Everything was well received and delicious. Looking forward to having LJ's cater our next event. Thank you read more

Why am i writing this review?! because I want to share my love of LJ's and my disdain for the 'other' office eatery in building 9231 (company kept confidential). This is just an office deil/cafe so keep that in mind. But this place is good enough for me to walk 10 minutes across the office park (trust me that's a feat for me) rather than eat at my own cafeteria in 9231! I admit, I'm shameful for going against my loyalties... but the shame goes away the minute i get to LJ's. I regularly find other coworkers sporting the same badge as I and we exchange a sneaky grin! You know - that same head-nod you give to the other husbands when you see them at the strip club! OK, onto the food. The specials are the way to go, don't let the mom and pop with the small portable grills fool you, they know how to assemble a good sandwich pickle and chips! But don't get sucked in too fast, make sure you check out the hot bar just past the sandwiches before ordering anything! One day im going to push the envelope and see if they will actually cater a meeting in my building! read more

Food was amazing! Great place for breakfast and lunch! Staff is very friendly and the service was quick and easy!

So I work in the nearby Danac Stiles corporate center where we have our own version of a cafe nestled in an office building. Up until a few weeks ago I had no clue about LJs until a coworker tipped me off while I was on yet another tirade about the poor quality of food and the ridiculous prices of our own cafe... (yeah our cafe sucks balls, its THAT bad) LJs gets a solid four stars from me, pretty much everything I have gotten there has been solid! Some of my favorites are LJ's omelette - sausage ham bacon onions and sweet peppers (fav breakfast item) and ALL their salads (especially the mandarin chicken). Prices are beyond fair as its about 5-7$ for an entree and its lightning fast service. His jovial self (LJ) is around most of the time who is remarkably reminiscent to me of my childhood in NYC when I would visit little Italy. He's always up for a chat and provides some of the best customer service I've had for years. Only complaints are: 1. This place is sooooo hard to find, on my first time driving there and keep in mind I work about a quarter mile away I got ridiculously lost and LJ stayed on the phone with me for about 10 min before guiding me to the correct building. 2. The prime rib steak and cheese leaves a lot to be desired, meat was sorta tough and chewy. Just like Steve's review before me, I'd go to LJs (ok, just about anywhere actually) before going to our own office eatery. Only I feel no shame for ditching our POS cafeteria and I know exactly where my loyalties lie. See you at 1 LJ! read more

I placed an order online for LJ's Café 11:07 a.m. hoping it would make it to me by 12, when my 1-hour lunch break begins. By 12:45 my entire office knew I was STILL waiting for my lunch to arrive. At this point, it had been 30 minutes since I first called LJ's to say my food was late, and the very rude man had already tried to blame the online ordering site for their estimated delivery time of 1 hour. He had also tried to convince me that the restaurant, which I pass during my 8-minute commute every day, was very far from my office. Finally, 10 minutes after my lunch break ended, I called to angrily cancel the order. The man who picked up put me on hold as I started speaking; I don't mean he asked me to hold, I mean he PUT me on hold, which I knew only from the silence and his return 2 minutes later. He tried once again to blame the online service for making the delivery time estimate, which I though was sufficiently ample: 1 hour to make a sandwich and deliver it 2 miles. Frankly, even if it had something to do with the ordering service, that's not the customer's problem: they chose the service, they chose to assume they were up for the challenge of receiving online orders, and they choose to be lazy and childishly petulant when called out on their deplorable behavior. Their food is forgettable, so they really shouldn't give themselves the luxury of being more rude than most third-world street-vendors. Just as an added comment, GrubHub is the online ordering service, and they were stars. As soon as I STARTED explaining my situation, they apologized profusely even though they had done nothing wrong, they agreed to cancel the order, and they offered me a full refund and a generous coupon. Now GrubHub I WILL continue using. read more

Excellent little gem amongst the corporate offices. The food is always fresh, tasty and made to order. Tons of great specials everyday of the week. The chicken burrito bowl has lots of flavor and is huge (don't forget to ask for fresh jalapenos). Breakfast is just as good as lunch with made to order eggs and the bagels are from NY. read more

I wish that I knew a long time ago that they deliver breakfast to my address. I ordered for the 1st time this morning and even though it took a little over an hour to get it, the wait was well worth it. Ordered sandwiches, home fries, and juice. The bagel and croissant sandwiches tasted way better than that McDonald's crap, cheaper too! The home fries were fully cooked and well seasoned, again, better than "the other guy's" taters. As for the juice, what can I say? They hit the spot. Staff seem nice and pleasant. Now that I have a menu and know that they deliver to me, I will definitely order again. read more

LJs makes me weep its so good. I cannot resist ordering from here, i wish i could order everyday, but only in a perfect world. I have had the liberty in trying their Rib-eye Steak and Cheese and their Turkey Philly which are both Delish! They have this chopped hot pepper relish that is sweet with the perfect kick. You can get a foot long for such a reasonable price. I love that they deliver quickly, accept Credit Cards (my cafe is cash only) and when you call, the guy yells LJS!! (its the little things) They have a huge selection, subs, pizza, salads, baked potatoes... everything looks great and under $7. I'd eat here everyday if I could... did I already say that?? Oh well, stop reading and order LJs for your next lunch! read more

My coworkers and I order from here often because they are close by. However, expect to wait an hour, since they bring a lot of orders to this office. Today I ordered french toast, like usual. The last time I ordered this, they only gave me one sausage, super stingy! (Y'all used to give more meat without us asking.)Today, when I ordered it, they were happy to tell me that they would charge extra for 2 more sausage patties. I can get over that...but the patties weren't even cooked well!!!! They could be a little crispy! They even smelled funny! Please leave the meat on the stove a little longer next time. read more

I order for lunch and my food arrives fresh and quick! The Southwestern salad is AMAZING!! Nothing like great service when placing your order and the excited feeling of having a delicious lunch. read more

LJ's Cafe - The amazing Southwestern Salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Always fresh and tasty. Polite staff always welcomed us very well. Everything on their menu is very good. Thank you!

Get lunch from here AT LEAST once a week, LJ's is the bomb. Favorite hands down is the LJ's Omelette. Great service, good people.

I love LJs. Owner and employees at the walk-in location are SO FRIENDLY! We prefer to pick up, as the food from the walk-in location is a lot better than the delivery location. At the walk-in location, there's a salad & hot bar (haven't eaten from it) that always looks fresh and pretty inviting (the salad bar much more than the hot bar). There's a soda fountain or bottles, nice chip selection, tables and chairs, AND they accept credit ($10 minimum)!!! At this point, I've only experienced (yes, because eating their food is an experience) their turkey burger, sausage egg cheese bagel, and steak & cheese. Turkey burger ($5-6)? A-. Flavorful, juicy, warm, tender...so yummy. Sausage Egg Cheese Bagel ($4)? A+! Oh man, SO DELICIOUS! The bagel tastes so fresh, the sausage is juicy, the egg is fresh off the griddle, and you can't go wrong with cheese. The best part is that it isn't greasy and oily! It's the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I just had one for lunch at 1:45 p.m. :-) Steak & Cheese? ($8-9, I think) C...-. It wasn't that great. The hot peppers weren't spread out evenly, which I only noticed after I had bit into a huge clump of them on my second to last bite. The meat was a little dry; not at all juicy or flavorful as I had expected. The roll was dry, too. Not even cheese could save this guy. Oh well. My coworkers have raved about the quesadillas (ask them to chop the meat further), salads (southwest, in particular), gyros, and soups. We even ended a work day with a delivery of cake slices. Con? My second day at my job and we had ordered lunch with one credit card and two cash orders. When I go to pay for my order, the delivery guy says, "Do you want change?" Uh, YEAH. "How much change do you want?" Uh, I'm giving you $20 for a $9 order. I want all of my change! Obviously I was going to tip from the change I received but I thought it was really...bold of him to hint at receiving an $11 tip. Because of that, I never order when my coworkers get delivery; I'd rather walk across a couple roads to the walk-in location. I'd take the two negative reviews with a grain of salt. The guy who usually answers (who I presume to be the owner) is generally a nice guy. He's quick but will give warm small talk. Oh, and don't approach his register on your cell phone, which should be a rule in all the land! read more

Literally my go-to when I don't bring my lunch to work.. they have a variety of entrees (gyros, salads, quesadillas, breakfast, etc).

This place is awesome! I stop by almost every morning to buy my breakfast. The owner is an amazing guy, I know him forever since I'm been going to his restaurant for many years. I absolutely love their home fries that they serve for breakfast! Everything that I've got from them was amazing. read more

How is this place in some corner in an office complex? Because seriously: it is amazing. Order the Italian Sub -- the bread here is great. Besides the enormous selection fo breakfast and lunch items, there's also a really, really good hot bar. I'm really not sure how this guy makes any money, because the huge selection of food is insane. He must do a ton of business on catering, because it really doesn't make sense that a lunch place this good is in some office building in the middle of nowhere. read more

Consumer BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! I last time I ordered for Lj's I had left work and went home early with food poisoning. Their customer service is poor and delivery is always slow, plus the guy who takes phone orders is rude and nasty. I must say that I only order from Lj's out of desperation but id rather starve to death than to patronize their business again. Pro's They deliver to my office building which is few blocks way Cons Food is always cold Slow Delivery Very Poor Customer Service Food is often undercooked and thrown together in a box. All I can say about Lj's cafe is EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Sincerely, One pissed off customer read more

I had the food for the first time today and it was so good I ordered the Classic Cobb I think with no bacon .. The salad was so good and the cookies and Apple Pie I ordered taste home made. My food was delivered quickly and everything was delicious I will be ordering for lunch again tomorrow!! read more

The guy that answers the phone instantly brightens my day, he is so sweet! The food is amazing! I mostly get salads and they look and taste like something straight out of a fancy restaurant!!!!!!! read more

The guy at the register is always so nice. I love that they deliver. The Hot Philly Turkey Sub is SO good, and the Burritos could easily feed a family of 5. You have to try the Mandarin Chicken Salad, too - An office favorite! :) read more
