    Some morning humor: Gotta love this short, paper straw!
    Rumit P.

    This is one of the few downtown DC locations. The one on 18th and H St NW seems to be indefinitely closed because of COVID. I typically order a coffee and some kind of pastry or entree. The staff are always attentive, friendly, and have my mobile order ready in the pickup spots and acknowledge me when I enter and before I leave. My coffee made prepared just as I requested and was ready as soon as I arrived. The interior is small and does not accommodate too many dine-in customers, and they have a single table for outdoor seating. I love that this is not a busy location!

    I'm a regular here. This is right near my office and great for grabbing fast and easy lunch. Mobile orders are prepared quick. The only reason this place doesn't get a 5 star is because the inside is small with very little seating. It's almost like you have to take your food to go. Also they use kiosks for ordering and once I was instructed to use it instead of being able to order at the register with a person. I felt this was impersonal but hey it might be why they move so fast.

    During my recent trip to DC I was lucky enough to pass by this Panera to get my free Birthday reward before it expired. This location is small, not good for large groups, perfect for studying or relaxing for a bit. Upon entering the employee, a young woman, at the register just stood around while I waited to be helped. I asked for help, ordered a piece of crumb coffee cake, and took it to go. Sadly, when I opened the bag to eat it, the cake was dry and hard. I had to throw it away. Panera is one of my favorite spots and I will definitely continue to visit my local Panera. 4 stars for past experience

    A half-full (or half empty if you're a pessimist) attempt at the Baja Mac & Cheese sans Avocado because... well not sure

    This is for the Panera on L Street. Food is great (but pricey) and there's lots of healthy, tasty options. But for some reason they cannot get the Baja Mac & Cheese right. The first time I ordered it, it was regular Mac & cheese. The second time it had diced tomatoes but no avocado and it was only half full! What is so difficult about this? I get the grab and go so I don't think to check my order before I toddle out the door. I will change that tactic!

    After having to fast all night for an MRI next door at Medstar I was starving looking for food in the area. Being that it was late in the day, all the lil cafes surrounding the medstar complex were closed so I thought I was short but luckily Panera was open. I reluctantly went in because I'm not a big Panera fan, but I am glad I grabbed food from here! The service was very friendly, I was helped by Jhadzia and she was awesome, very patient and helpful. I had the turkey chili and it had so many random legumes in it and that's right up my alley. Really fresh and flavorful. it came with chips and an apple too! The interior was very clean and not busy at all. The location is really close to GWU. I might just be a Panera fan now, I'll definitely be dining in again after my next doctor's appointment.

    So yea, microwaved cheese sandwiches are NOT the same a grilled cheese...come one guys ‍ you had one job, just grill the sandwich! One bite in and I'm literally having to pull the sandwich unreasonably far because it can't hold it together and definitely had no crunch(due to being microwaved-gross) 7-8$ for a microwaved sandwich and bag of chips...that's not worth it. What didn't help was the little fuzzies and fabric that was on the surface of the melded 'microwaved' cheese. WTH guys? Talk about Hells Kitchen! Never been so dissatisfied with Panera-thankful I don't live by this one or else I would never have this indecent and poor Panera service ever again.

But maybe that's better for them too. You can order to-go at the window and/or request a spot in the limited spaced dining/bar area. I've only gotten the Sub Club the few times I've gone here but what can I say? its a fail proof staple that is hard to get wrong and that they do very right. I often pair it with one of their drinks, this time being the spicy ginger ale which was solid as well. There's really not much place to dine-in if you're trying to dine and go - I recommend only using the dining area if you're solo, a couple, or part of a small group (at MOST maybe - a hard maybe - on 4 people) and only if you want to use the bar. One couple tried to squeeze in a baby stroller into the bar/dining area. Its really not suitable for things like suitcases or strollers so if you're in that camp maybe try some other spots because that also made a tiny space all the more difficult to navigate. Also, if you have a mobility device, this might not be the best spot for you either. I've never used their restrooms before so can't comment on that one. I still will say it is good for when you want to grab and go - so if you're in that category, and you like moderately priced sandwiches (for this part of town) this might work for you.

    An Italian sandwich the size of Texas... sign me up!…read more I went into this market when I was exploring Georgetown one day and I naively ordered an Italian sandwich and once they received it I realized it was big enough to feed a family. I found the cutest little park bench and decided to dig in. Needless to say I had left overs but I could have found a way to eat this whole sandwich because it was that good! Every topping was homemade and you could tell. Def a must stop in DC.

    I'm a bit torn on this one…read more I stumbled across Stachowski's while looking for a unique local spot for lunch. The sandwiches looked epic and the photos of the place looked adorable for a local joint. We walked over from our hotel in Georgetown and were overwhelmed by the sandwich choices. Caught between the Grinder and the Pastrami, we went with the employee's suggestion for the latter. About 5 minutes later we were handed a wrapped sandwich the size of a football. We found a quiet spot to unwrap and enjoy it and dug in. Frankly, I wouldn't order it again, and I think we would have enjoyed the grinder more. It was just a huge pile of meat on pumpernickel bread with mustard. Flavor was meh. Neither of us was overwhelmed for nearly $25. Props for the cute European goods in the shop, though, and the employees were courteous and friendly. But next time I'll look elsewhere for lunch.

Most people order their sandwiches to go. The line can get pretty long, but you get through at a decent pace, I wouldn't say fast. Simple and straightforward ordering process, just remember what you ordered because they don't take names. I go between the Crunchy Boi and the Marisa Tomei Eats Free, which are both great. The Crunchy Boi is probably their most popular sandwich and it's lighter than you would think considering it's filled with potato chips. I think it's worth trying once. The Marisa Tomei, on the other hand, has never failed me. It's balanced with an absurd amount of arugula against the meat, and it's never dry. The portions are generous, like you could definitely split it into two meals, but they're not so heavy that you couldn't finish a sandwich in one sitting.

    If you love sandwiches like me then this is the shop for you…read more Hands down one of the best sandwich shops around. Exceptional service and even more exceptional is the food. Everything is fresh. The bread is from Cardinal Bakery (bonus). They have several popular and unique sandwiches like The Crunchy Boi. Usually split one with the boyfriend. It's turkey, provolone, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo (we get it on the side) and potato chips. Wow-wee get in my belly goodness! One bite and you're hooked. For real. Get your sammy fix on!

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it
