Fast friendly service. Hot food made to order. Clean establishment. The owners are super friendly and personable. Great find!

Wonderful, fresh salad! was delicious and the best salad I've had in a long time! Gve it a try!

While working in the office one day I decided to try a neighboring breakfast/lunch spot. Based on my quick time waiting and easy order, I definitely see myself stopping by again for lunch. My sandwich was simplicity at its finest and I had no complaints. The customer service isn't the best, but there was only two people working so I'd cut them some slack. This shop gives me hope again for good $10 lunches! read more

If you don't have time for a sit down but don't want to compromise food quality, I strongly suggest you come here! I've only been able to go for breakfast so far. The sausage and egg croissant breakfast sandwich is piping hot and delicious. Their egg, sausage, spinach, and pepper Jack cheese tomato tortilla wrap is pure comfort and down right tasty. The coffee is strong, and the service is friendly, professional, and efficient. The food here is solid, the place is kept extremely clean, and the service (and their sandwiches) is consistent. This place is definitely a local treasure spot. Also, how many businesses in D.C. still bother to learn your name and greet you when you come in? James and his wife are the sweetest! read more

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat on our road trip down the coast. While the sandwiches are a little small, they are very flavorful and a nice bite to grab quickly and go! The New Yorker sandwich was perfectly panini'd with pastrami, melted cheese, and coleslaw. The sweetness of the coleslaw really brought out the cheesiness and gooeyness of the cheese. The veggie sandwich was fresh and delicious. The couple running the cafe were very sweet and even gave us a chocolate crepe for the road. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick bite to eat in this neighborhood of DC! read more

Came in for lunch today. I had a Reuben sandwich, which was very good. Fresh and not overloaded with sauce. The sandwich plus a bottled lemonade and tip ended up at $13, which is pretty good for downtown DC. Inside is cozy and was not very busy at 1pm on Thursday. I will definitely come back for lunch in the future to try other sandwiches and bagels. read more

Oxford Cafe is a great stop for lunch! I work in the building across the street and wandered in one day, looking to try something new. I was a little overwhelmed at first, with how many options there are on the board - dozens of sandwiches, paninis, wraps, and salads to choose from. But each item has a detailed description of what it contains and there is not a lot of overlap, so each sandwich is distinct. The food is all made to order, so it is fresh, and it is QUICK. I am in and out in under 5 minutes every time. And in addition to the great food, the couple who owns it are unbelievably kind! read more

It's not much but it's great, I get a sandwich here for lunch during the work day and it's a good value, good quality, super fast service, and sometimes I get a little fun sized candy in the bag with my lunch. This is a great spot for a fast weekday bite! read more

I honestly wish more people knew about Oxford Cafe - this place is literally right under my office building, tucked away in between M street and Connecticut Avenue and has been a go to for every single person in our office simply because of the quality of food you receive for the price as well as the reliable and affable service. For breakfast, My go to is their egg sandwich on an everything bagel. It's always nice to have something warm and soft in the morning and their bagels are always so warm/fresh right after they make this sandwich for you - and the best part is that it's only $1.99! I seriously can't justify going anywhere else for breakfast simply because you can't beat the quality for the price anywhere else. I'm also in love with their different smoothie options and they are all made with fresh fruit and Greek yogurt making it a great substitute for breakfast as well. As for lunch, they have a variety of sandwich, wrap, and salad options for a very affordable price (ranging from $4 to $8). I suggest trying out their bibimbap wrap for something a little different and their chicken salad is always a safe option and one of my go to meals if I need a quick bite to eat during lunch. The two ladies who work the cash register are so sweet and welcome you with a smile every time you walk in to order - even at 7 in the morning (like really - no one should be that happy to be at work that early). Really makes my day just seeing them work so hard to keep this place running. I'm all for supporting local businesses and praise the wonderful staff here for bringing some high quality, home cooked breakfast and lunch items to DC for a very affordable price. read more

The couple that owns this place are special people. When I was working in D.C., I used to eat lunch there as often as I could. James made a point to learn my name and used it as often as he could, which I really appreciated. He would also ask me about my hometown and always had a smile on his face when I walked in and out. His wife is very sweet and makes great sandwiches, salads and bagels. And she prepares everything so neatly. The quality and great taste of the food was always something I could count on. Since I've left D.C., going to the Oxford Cafe every week is something I already miss. It'll be one of the first places I go the next time I visit! read more

Great food and a couple that runs this cafe. They deliver quickly and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend this store.

Great Mom and Pop sandwich shop in downtown DC. Very good sandwiches that were served up quickly. Also offered lots of fresh fruit options and f sh baked goods. read more

A convenient place to get a quick bite or drink at the base of an office building. There are many breakfast choices such as bagels and sandwiches ranging in price from $1.99 to $3.79. If you're into lunch, there are sandwiches, paninis, and salads. Coffee is probably the drink of choice for most people. The cream and sugar station is pleasantly large and clean. The interior of the cafe is spacious and clean as well, with nice comfortable chairs. Smoothies and bottled juices are also available for those not into java. Oxford is also a deli selling meats and cheese. For the snacking type, candies and chips are also available but a bit overpriced. read more

Oxford Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Oxford Cafe is a good place to go for simple but high-quality sandwiches. The price is reasonable (about $9-10 for a good sandwich), the wait time is decent for a made-to-order place, and the folks behind the counter are friendly. I got the Italian hero today; it hit the spot. My coworkers have gotten a variety of the other sandwiches, and they always have good things to say. This will definitely be a new lunchtime staple of mine, as it already is for several folks in my office. read more

So fresh and fast. The physical space could use a refresh but it's clean. The food quality and those friendly faces make my day. Consistently delicious with something for everyone. I'm always fascinated how they remember everyone's order without writing it down during lunch rush. Reminds me of nyc. read more

Oxford Cafe - Garden salad with grilled chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I grabbed a sandwich for lunch and devoured it. It was the Chicken Parm sandwich and it was tasty: the meat was great, and the amount of cheese and sauce were perf. It's relatively cheap and the location is nice for doing some work. I had a study session after I ate. Definitely recommend. Excellent service. Personally was over the music choice in the background but it is what it is. read more

I usually stop in to grab coffee and a breakfast sandwich when I don't have time to make it at home. The service is great and the staff is extremely friendly. Being from NY, I was pleasantly surprised at how good their baconeggNcheese sandwich is. Yes that is all one word. Conveniently located next to my job, literally right downstairs. There is a $5 minimum for cards. Just an FYI. read more

Best bagels in the neighborhood. Service is always awesome and super friendly.

As always, I got great service here. They even remembered how I like my sandwich. Always a plus in any establishment. read more

I usually hit the CA Grill or Jack's Fresh when I'm lazy, but luckily another lunch spot opened up on M St. near my workplace and I just had to check it out. I was actually a few days behind my coworkers who had already been and gave it pretty positive reviews. Harvest Cobb Salad, yum! Roast Turkey sandwich with all extras, fresh Boar's Head, filling! I don't eat out enough to know if it is pricey, my sandwich was around $6 so I think it is relatively average priced? Variety in the menu from custom sandwich, focaccia sandwich, hot panini's, wraps, salads and smoothies. The other stuff outside the general sandwiches seem pricey though (wraps at $7-$8?) but like I said I don't eat around here often. I think the best part is because it is new it hasn't reach the usual business of a DC lunch crowd (I hope that it's not because it's not good... ). My sandwich was ready a few seconds after I paid. Lots of open space if you wanted to sit and eat too. read more

Love the place and the choices it offers.. very close to my office and efficient service. It lacked some good menu photos on yelp so I took some and uploaded them- hope it helps everyone! read more

Man, I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. I work in the building above, and already know that whenever I move on to a new employer, I will continue to come here if it's within reasonable biking distance. It's that good. Where to even begin?! First of all, the prices are really reasonable. I have always griped that one of DC's biggest shortcomings in the age old 'DC vs. NYC' battle is its lack of cheap and delicious delis...I've finally come to my senses and realized that what I've been looking for has been right under my nose all along. The only downside here is that with the mere $5 card minimum, you sometimes need to scramble to pick out more things if you're not carrying cash. Not to worry though--they have an awesome selection of pre-made/packaged goodies including international candy, pints of ice cream, individual granola bars, big pickles fresh from the jar, a diverse selection of chips, yogurts and parfaits, fruit, and even hardboiled eggs! Their drink selection is awesome as well, with a near-endless array of iced teas as well as your classic sodas, water, sparkling water, V8, etc. Honestly, the only times I've 'stumped' Oxford Cafe were while 1) looking for cough drops, and 2) hoping to grab a small bottle of milk for the cereal I had at my office. The breakfast is so simply, authentically good that I honestly crave it on weekends: egg and cheese on an everything bagel is my go-to, though the veggie omelette with cheese is also delicious (though an 'acquired taste/sight' as others have mentioned. It's not pretty to look at, but I really enjoy it.) Even the plain ole everything bagel with cream cheese is somehow crave-able and again, SO CHEAP. Beyond that, I've recently discovered their lunch offerings and regret not doing so sooner. Highly recommend the tuna melt: tuna salad, melty cheese (swiss, I think?), sprouts, red onions, tomato, and spinach on a lovely marbled rye. For like, $6!! I rarely buy lunch, but when I have in the past usually spent the requisite $13 or so for a CAVA bowl. No longer! My workday meal of choice is now a sandwich and a smoothie (about $5, pretty standard--I love the School Days, which has peanut butter, bananas, yogurt, and honey, and tastes like a PB milkshake) which comes out to the same as a CAVA bowl while being more filling. It's the best. And one more thing: I don't think I necessarily go during 'peak hours', but every time, without fail, these folks are FAST. Like, shockingly fast. For a breakfast sandwich or bagel, I can be eating back at my desk within five minutes. Even lunch is crazy fast, now that I think about it. Did I dream this place up?! Thankfully no, it's real!!! read more

My turkey and cheese panini was good but my husband's Reuben was the worst he's ever had. There were chunks of chewy corned beef, minimal sauerkraut and no sauce/dressing. read more

What can I say I love this place. The staff is super nice. Always pleasant. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg white, spinach and cheese on croissant) and it was very tasty. The fruit is always fresh.. You can dine in or takeout. The prices are reasonable compared to the other shops in the area. They also give student discounts. read more

so i just started working in dc and i walk pass this place every time. i love breakfast sandwiches and im so glad i decided to come in here. of course, thanks to yelp, it was what made my decision so much easier. I got the sausage and egg sandwich on an everything bagel!! it was less than 5 bucks and it was huge! im definitely going to come back in here and try some of their sandwiches too, but for now, i can only comment on their breakfast. it was soo good and hit just the right spot after a night out. They had multiple options for breakfast such as bacon, egg, and cheese on an english muffin, yogurt and granola, fresh fruit, bagel and lox, and more. now for their sandwich options, there was a ton. so ill be editing my post after i happen to try one.. haha the place was also huge so plenty of seating room! yay! read more

These very nice people make an excellent Cobb or chef's salad at a very good price using Boar's Head cold cuts! Definitely delicious and a good value downtown. Highly recommend! read more

This place is solid. I grab a breakfast or lunch sandwich here at least once or twice a week. It's reasonably priced, freshly made, and made of much higher quality than similar sandwich stands (i.e. Boar's Head lunch meat as opposed to the stuff with a bunch of chemicals and fillers in it and all freshly made). Breakfast: They do a really good job of breakfast sandwiches here. I either get eggs and something on an English muffin or lox on a bagel. The bread base, either the English muffin or bagel, is always good. So many places that serve egg sandwiches on English muffins do not sufficiently toast the muffin. This place toasts them nicely without burning them. The bagels are surprisingly decent, too. They aren't amazing like Bullfrog or Bethesda, but they are pretty good, even if you don't get them toasted, which is surprising for a takeout place like this. They also let you put whatever you want on the sandwich. I usually get tomato and avocado or cream cheese with my eggs. I don't recommend the omelettes. For some reason, the way they fold the scrambled eggs when they make the sandwiches keeps them a lot softer and moist. The omelettes are dry and brown (a key reason I'm not giving them five stars). Lunch: I usually get some sort of turkey sandwich. They give you a decent amount of meat, but it's not one of those annoying over-sized sandwiches that makes you fall asleep at your desk at 2pm. The avocado is always ripe, and the other veggies are fresh. I would not recommend the salads. They are mostly made on iceberg lettuce, and the dressings are packaged. Other: Get the smoothies. They are all real fruit and veggies, and they'll let you design your own if you ask. I get a modification of the berry one with no juice or yogurt and add spinach and ice. Oxford has a huge selection of higher quality packaged and fresh snacks. They have boiled eggs, apples, and bananas, as well as stuff like Haribo gummies, nice chocolate, Kind bars, etc... Finally, the people who work here are super nice. read more

Variety of sandwiches and their fresh ingredients makes this a to go place for a quick grab for lunch and back to the work grid with a happy belly! I've gotten them to cater working lunches and everyone loved the fresh veggies in their sandwiches! read more

The best place on the block for a quick work-week lunch. The place is clean and efficient, the sandwiches fresh and large. Salads get good reviews from my colleagues. I usually order the smoked turkey panini, featuring Boars Head turkey breast, and dijon with a little kick to it. Stick to the deli sandwiches - because a chicken parm sandwich here means deli meat chicken breast, it is not a grill place. read more

I was very excited when this new cafe opened near my office and have been pretty pleased so far. All of the panini I have tried (esp the roast beef and the grilled chicken with mozzarella and pesto) were quite good and priced on par with most other places in the area. Another great perk is the offering of assorted candies and snacks, including a range of European brands you don't always see. Their materials say various things about supporting socially responsible businesses, but the evidence isn't there to support claims one way or the other - seems like they are trying, though. The service is okay - they still have a few kinks to work out of the system. I also wish they gave better instructions for new folks about how to order (in short: best if by number on the menu). All in all, a good choice if you're looking for a lunch place between Dupont and Farragut! read more

Great place to stop for breakfast before heading to the office. All the egg sandwiches really hit the spot in the morning. Staff is friendly and the God comes fairly quick. It is easy to miss though if you're not paying attention as they don't have a sign on the building. read more

Great food and nice employees, they always have fresh ingredients. I had crossiant with ham the other day, it was delicious and fairly cheap. I will def be back for more! read more

They have the BEST salads available. I am very picky about what fresh food I will get in places like this. Bar none, they have the best, freshest salads I have gotten at any deli, anywhere. They also carry Ito En Teas, which makes me very happy. Oh, and a huge supply of chips. I have also had their wraps. All extremely good. But, for those sitting at a desk all day and need a salad - there is no better! read more

The smoothie I tried was the fruitful day that has raspberries, strawberries, and banana. I was not impressed. Granted raspberries are not the sweetest fruit but I couldn't taste anything. It was bland and very watery. They blended this too much and it was basically flavored water. I only tried them because another restaurant next to them is closed due to construction. Glad I stopped so I know not to go back. Maybe the food is better. read more

I love the chicken salad and breakfast sandwiches from this place! The frozen fruit smoothies are also very good. The service is quick and the ladies who work there are always pleasant and cheery in the morning. The best part: the prices are very reasonable for the good-sized portions served. read more

The reason I give this joint four stars is because of the value of the food you receive. I ordered a turkey sandwich. They cut your sandwich in half and the first thing your eye latches onto is the amount of meat they stack onto your sandwich. From what I remember the sandwich was approximately $6-7 dollars! That's such a great value for a huge sandwich especially in Washington DC. This is a good spot to get lunch or catch up with a friend if you both work around the area. A strange plus for me is that they have outlets! This might be important for those who need to use a laptop during lunch or, like me, those who have phones that are running out of batteries. The workers are very friendly and from what I observe, they definitely acknowledge their frequent customers. Now the taste of the sandwich itself is typical. It is just a typical sandwich. One that you can build at home yourself so it is really nothing special. read more
