One of my go-to lunch spots while working at NOAA. It's pretty busy during the luschool rush so I try to go before 1150am. I'm a sucker for their chicken casear wrap with bacon or double chicken. The food is fresh and tasty. With a bag of chips and a bottle of coke it comes to about $20. I've seen many people try the Korean bowls and people in the office come here regularly, I suggest you do as well. read more

Go to stop for NOAA folks. They make a delicious cappuccino and BLT. Have not tried much else on the menu. read more

'TIS Corner Cafe - BLT - Delis Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Saw this cafe while on the way home one morning and wanted to check it out. I also love to support small businesses. The inside of the cafe was nice and there was a good amount of seating. They serve both breakfast and lunch. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on sourdough. It was ok. I don't think there was enough bacon on the sandwich either. A girl needs a few slices or thick cut bacon, lol. The service was ok. The lady who fixed my sandwich was really nice. The other lady who was at the register didn't seem that friendly or inviting. Bad day? Maybe...idk. The cafe is located on a busy road but I believe there's garage parking as well as the Silver Spring metro and bus station. read more

I've attempted to eat here twice in the last two months and both times were unsuccessful -- here's why: 1 - Card minimums. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese but the manager was holding it hostage until I found cash to pay for it with. Apparently they have a $5 minimum to use your card. I would like to call out two very important things regarding this. 1. Establishing a debit card minimum is illegal. Merchants accepting Visa or MasterCard credit or debit cards are not allowed to set a minimum amount for using the card; that is a violation of the merchant agreement. Now luckily for them, my friend spotted my breakfast (which wasn't even good TBH). Had she not been there a phone call to Visa would have happened. 2 - Exclusions on breakfast items. Today, I walked in and asked if they had sliced turkey meat. The woman who makes the food replies yes. I then ordered a turkey, egg and cheese on a bagel only for her to tell me that she cannot do that. I ask her why and she insists on providing me with turkey bacon - not sliced turkey as it is for lunch. I am a PAYING customer. I have CASH this time. You can't go into the refrigerator and get 2 slices of turkey for a bagel?! TL;DR - Penny pinching and bad customer service will ensure that I will NEVER return to this establishment again. I'm sure they don't care, they're surrounded by offices so they will make their money regardless. read more

I've been here a few times and was contemplating how many stars I would give it. Initially I thought 4, but I bumped it up to 5 for a few reasons. Meat quality: The meat is carved right in front of you. How many deli places in the DMV do that?! Snacks selection: Really broad selection of chips, baked, kettled cooked, rice chips, etc. Lots of organic options of energy bars and chocolates too. Drinks: Lots of bottled drinks, many organic or small producer options. Service: Brusque but very quick. You're not gonna wait in line an hour for a sandwich. Decor: Really pretty framed pictures of sunflowers on the wall, nice bright colors. Overall, this is your local neighborhood deli, but it gets 5 stars for all the obvious thought that went into creating this place. Prices are similiar to most sandwich places (around $6-$8 for most sandwiches and salads). Most people who eat here are from the local NOAA offices and they seem to come, grab stuff and go, but there's seating inside if you want to eat there. Support your local restaurants and eat here instead of Einstein's down the street! read more

Personally, they seem to have a bad attitude. That alone makes me not want to go in there. However, their food is just okay. It's a great place to get a quick bit. They seem to get anxiety and look to the boss when you ask for a substitute or try to personalize your lunch. You would think you're a burden to them they way they act. Also, stay away from the Salmon. I ordered a salad there and realized the the salmon is mechanically separated and formed into what you think is salmon. I don't know what sort of fillers they used in there, but if you have a shellfish allergy, but still can eat fish, don't eat that salmon. My tongue has been itching since I realized this mid way through the salad. I'm assuming they maybe there is something in there binding it together that i'm having a reaction to. read more

One of the many things I miss about NJ/NYC is being surrounded by so many good bagel shops. Everyone had their favorite, but you could really go to any of them and get a solid bagel breakfast sandwich. 'TIS doesn't come close to what I'm used to, but it definitely helps when I need my sausage, egg, & cheese bagel fix. The meat is very flavorful and they pile the egg on there. The bagels are not the best, but definitely better quality than many places in the DC area that I've experienced. The bagel perfectly complements the rest of the sandwich, and it's balanced so you don't feel like there's hardly any filling. I wish they were open on the weekends, but they basically cater to the NOAA employees, so can't say I blame them for only being open during the week. read more

'TIS Corner Cafe - a man standing at a counter in a restaurant - Delis Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

See all

This little deli is located in the NOAA building complex in Silver Spring. It was formally the Atrium Cafe. The new owners have completely redone this deli with a more modern set up. The store is has a clean and efficient feel when you walk in. The Sandwiches are the only option i have had so far at this deli. The meat is freshly carved, Turkey, or Roast Beef) in front of you when you order. The veggies and bread are also very fresh. The sandwiches run about 6 bucks and are a great lunch option for people that work in Silver Spring. They also offer salads, soup, and wraps. An assortment of cookies, chips, and drinks is also available. read more

Edited: It's Wednesday, and I was looking forward to a bowl of their mushroom brie soup, served ONLY on Wednesday. It was 12:20 PM. They were sold out. They were sold out last week. And the week before. So I asked if they would make more (it's just soup, right?). No, no, no. If it doesn't sell, they waste food. How much could it cost to make more, given each bowl goes for $3.50 a bowl? How many customers are they losing by running out early? I thought about getting a Cobb wrap, instead I walked up the street to the Wave Cafe, and got lunch there. I'll check back next Wednesday around noon for soup. If they don't have it, that's it for me. Edited to add: Went over there today and they gave a lot of attitude and whining to my co-worker when they got her order wrong. Also, told her some menu items weren't available, but cashier said they were. So they lose two stars. As another reviewer mentioned, this is in the same space Atrium was. It has much better service than Atrium did, but the biggest attraction is that it's next door to work. I've had roast beef done in a wrap, and the Cobb Salad wrap. The roast beef was good, hand sliced and rosy in the middle. I was able to get it with mayo, onions, and horseradish. Other toppings are mustard, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers. Also, you can pay a little more for avocado or bacon. The Cobb Salad wrap had all the parts of that salad in the sandwich, chicken, blue cheese, bacon, hard boiled eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado. I usually buy a bottle of tea with it, and it runs me about $8-9. However, the wraps are really big, and two people could easily split one and still be satisfied. My co-worker speaks highly of their soups, but I've never tried them. However, the weather is getting colder, so perhaps next time...? read more

Tis is everything you would expect from a little corner café shop. I'm quickly a convert for breakfast. Tis blows other nearby shops out of the water in terms of price, dish size and quality. Definitely working it into my usual rounds! Sure the service may not be overly ecstatic to see you but they are nice, prompt and happy to get you your food in a timely manner. They also have some great specials so it's totally worth stopping by now and then! read more

The wraps and sandwiches here are delicious. The meats are carved right in front of you and often are still warm. The vegetables and wraps always are fresh. Additionally, their iced coffee is very good. The little shop offers about 10 different wraps and a variety of sandwiches, soups, and some assorted pastries. Chips and drinks are available as well. 'Tis is only open on weekdays and closes at 4. I went in there at 3 recently and they had already started packing up for the day. There's a nice eating area outside, but it's right on East-West Highway, which can be busy mid-day. The down side is the price. Sandwiches are between six and eight dollars each, not including sides. However, if you're in the mood for fresh sandwiches/wraps and want to change up your normal routine, this is a great place to occasionally visit. read more

This places surpass neighboring coffee shops by offering a full menu of breakfast items!

First time coming to 'TIS Corner Cafe today. It's conveniently located near my office so definitely a good place to come and grab lunch. When I walked in there were about 4 people ahead of me in line but it went by so quickly I didn't even notice it. The service was great, everyone was friendly and worked efficiently. The food seems to be pretty standard. I would like to have seen more vegetarian options. I got the veggie sandwich which was the obvious choice because I'm a vegetarian. The veggies were fresh and the sandwich as a whole tasted great. But there wasn't anything special or unique about it. read more

Amazing!Not so salty or spicy but just about right and mild. The noodles are fun to eat,too. Jabchae has an interesting chewy texture. read more

This is one of my go to spots for weekday breakfast. Great breakfast sandwiches. I recommend if looking for something quick.

Only eat here if you enjoy unfriendly staff, intense attitudes from across the counter, and a rushed/cramped feeling. I so seldom write negative reviews as I tend to first address my opinions directly to staff or management of an establishment before airing my grievances publically. I did talk to the owner/manager who is clearly unconcerned about customer service, so here I go... This is only a sandwich shop, so realistically my expectations are not that large nor demanding. However, I do expect people to be friendly, gracious in their service, and kind. I've gotten far better customer service from street vendors on a freezing day in New York then I've gotten from this ambient-controlled hole in the wall. I don't appreciate eye rolling when I ask for avocado on my panini (I'm moving your product for goodness sake!), nor a rough tone of voice of "what do you want to order" (whatever happened to hello, may I take your order...or a darn smile...even when there is not line!), and I don't honor management that is only interested in customer's dollars and not customer satisfaction. Yes, this is only a a sandwich shop. However, I've been a loyal follower to places that offer just a mediocre food because the spirit of the place was uplifting and kind. Food (and the environment it is created in) feeds more than our bodies. Only the good places know this, and only the good places are worthy of my loyalty. I will be sure to spread the word on this place, for those who haven't noticed its bad vibes. read more

The female owner is extremely rude to both the guest and her staff. Her staff seems terrified of her--to the point of not being able to make small concessions/substitutions without conferring with her first. She tends to overcharge you, without informing you that there is an extra charge, so pay attention to what she inputs onto the register. I have convinced my staff to not patronize this establishment. I will begin to suggest the same to the staff members in different departments. read more

So, the food is really good and the veggies are super fresh along with the freshly carved meat but after paying $10.90 just now for a turkey sandwich and a cranberry juice I feel robbed (no chips, just a sandwich and juice). The people who make the sandwiches are really nice and will pile on the toppings without telling you that there is an extra charge for everything other than lettuce and tomato. I probably won't be back unless I'm desperate. 3 stars because the service was good and the food is fresh the cost.....ridiculous! read more

I am a little baffled by the people who complain about price! Let's talk about value for a minute. Their on-the-menu wraps/sandwiches/salads are priced mid $4-6. That is awesome. I just had a Mediterranean Chicken wrap with all the following on it: grilled chicken, romaine, feta cheese, pepperoncini, olives, tomato, sun dried tomato vinaigrette -- for just $6.19. Even Chipotle charges extra for guacamole so people complaining about this should just pipe down. Custom sandwiches are always going to cost more. This isn't Subway - in MANY ways. At the end of the day, this deli exists in somewhat of a lunch wasteland from my office and is a welcome sight compared to dearth of other options - Caribou, Starbucks, Einsteins, McDonald's, Crisp & Juicy (which I like as well), Mamma Lucia. It is a great little spot that I will happily support. read more

Mediocre quality and quantity for exorbitant prices. Whether it be a wrap or a bibimbap, be prepared to pay $9+ for mostly lettuce. Most staff not very friendly either. At least they have a decent selection of packaged snacks. read more

Customer service is terrible!! I ordered a sandwich on a baguette and they gave me wheat bread. Okay, no big deal. I continued my order. I asked for hummus on my sandwich and was told that costs extra. I asked how much twice and they didn't answer and just put hummus on the sandwich anyways. Turns out hummus cost $2 extra!!! My roast beef sandwich was $9... avoid this place if at all possible read more

I love this spot! I often pop by in the mornings for an egg&cheese sandwich or cream cheese on english muffin with sprouts, cucumber, tomato, etc. (YUM!) on my way to work. I love their extensive beverage selection--perfect for random things I like to drink...aloe vera juice, honest tea, etc. Others have mentioned the price being a little high, but it seems worth it to me because of how fresh everything is! I wish they were open weekends!!! read more

They have good food choices - particular vegetarian options. A nice mixture of American and Asian foods. However, they have terrible customer service. No substitutions on your order. Even if you're substituting for something they are out of. The staff seems really scared of the manager. She hovers near her staff, and makes decisions by nodding or shaking her head at them at what to allow. It's the oddest vibe there, and I just feel terrible for them. I can't support business practices like them. Also, IMPORTANT NOTE, check your credit card billing if you use it here. They had some issues with hackers and credit cards a while back. The manager when it was brought to her attention didn't even apologize, or even offer a coupon. She just said she was changing processing companies and things would be fine now. I wanted to scream, Lady, people's credit cards numbers were stolen and used, you don't just gloss over that! I think something is off here in terms of management and I can't support this business. read more
