Unfortunately this place was a miss for me. On top of higher prices relative to other cafes in the area with inconvenient hours, I found my bagel and the interior to be disappointing. Although the sole employee was friendly, I couldn't help to notice how empty this place was. I would explore other cafes in the area with better pricing and hours. read more

A decent, no-frills breakfast burrito. Hit the spot for a quick bite, but it was a little light on the seasoning and could have used more cheese. Good portions, though. Would try it again with hot sauce next time. Also, I exchanged the bacon meat for turkey Sausage. read more

Switched up our breakfast run today! This is indeed a hidden gem!! Never even knew this cafe existed. Apparently it's been around awhile. They have the nicest people working here. I enjoyed the cinnamon raisin bagel and a small coffee I had. They offer breakfast sandwiche as well. I will visit again! Maybe for lunch. read more

We had two delicious sandwiches - a panini and a Philly cheesesteak. There are so many options and people around us had a wide variety. The service was prompt and it was a tidy place. The breakfast options looked good too! read more

This little whole in the wall sandwich shop kicks out some great salads and sandwiches. Only enough seating for around 12 people but it has a spotless bathroom. Most of their cuts are Boar's Head brand so it's good quality meats compared to a lot of other places. Korean owned and the service is great. read more

Honestly disappointed with the cafe. I ordered a Greek salad and to be honest it was an overpriced basic garden salad with feta cheese. The restaurant itself is a cute little cafe with mix and max chairs and picnic table seating inside. Service is quick and they are nice, but the food so far is disappointing to say the least. read more

It was a very nasty Wednesday morning and we needed a quick breakfast and coffee before we begin our ride back home to Chesapeake. Hubby and I both ordered a lox bagel with everything (capers, red onion, cream cheese, & tomato) on everything bagel. It was delish!! We both had their house coffee. Our son chose a muffin and Pellegrino water. We also purchased a bear claw and a pack of chocolate chip cookies for the road home. I needed to use the restroom which was required a key code so the nice lady came and unlocked one. She was so sweet. This whole Korean family that owned the store was super sweet. I wish we were staying longer so I could come back and get a lunch sandwich, they looked amazing from the menu. Great place to he's. Something quick and yummy! Clean sink fares and bathroom. Plenty of tables and chairs. read more

West wing Cafe has been a staple in my mornings the past week while working in DC. From a great drink selection to solid and hearty sausage egg & cheeses, this place has a lot to offer. The staff are nice and quick to take your order, which would be super helpful if they were packed, but unfortunately this somewhat newer place is not getting the traffic they deserve, which may be due to marketing, because the location could not be much better. Just off of Pennsylvania Avenue next to the Waldorf and a quarter mile from Smithsonian row, it's a great spot that many people walk by daily. It is a bit dark and signage isn't incredible as it took me 2 days to see it, but the second you take a bite you forget all that. Lunch selection looks tasty as hell, I think with some more business this place has a good shot of keeping open for a long time. read more

We just happened upon this little place on our walk to the Smithsonian today. What a little gem! I was always told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if I learned anything from my mom, she was right about this 100% for me! Of course she was right about so much more, but we are talking food here! Anyway ... I'm a pretty big fan of McDonald's sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches, so I figured I'd try the equivalent here. It was like a SEC but amped up to a much higher level! They used two fresh eggs that I watched them fry, the sausage was tasty, and the muffin was toasted well. Hubs had the same but with ham instead of sausage. The ham was piled to a nice thickness. Pros: fast, fresh, and friendly Cons: the atmosphere was a little crowded and outdated Overall a great, affordable place for a quick breakfast. read more

Breakfast mostly but also some lunch menu items. It makes a good stop before visiting Ford's Theater if you're going on a tour in the morning. West Wing Cafe is mostly forgettable food, nothing special. More of an on the go in a hurry. They do have a few tables. Having a name like this is confusing. It sounds like this is in the White House. This is not actually in the West Wing. It's not at all in the White House. This is not even close to it. It's actually to the east. This is actually closer to the East Wing. Anyway, the food. It has coffee and bagels, among breakfast items. The regular coffee is bland and watery. It's about $3 for a medium. The bagels are better thankfully. It's about $2 for a bagel. They have spreads like cream cheese or peanut butter. You can also get a breakfast sandwich. It seems the best time to come is breakfast. Prices are better for breakfast items. The lunch paninis are way too expensive though. read more

Little deli tucked on 12th and Pennsylvania Avenue with nice hot subs albeit a little pricey. The #10 Veggie Panini was like a small caprese sandwich with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, spinach, tomatoes stuffed between generous spread of fresh pesto and warm ciabatta bread. Where were the roasted red peppers? Oh well, the sandwich was tasty and didn't miss them too much. For $10, it was a bummer that potato chips or a small side salad/fruit didn't come with the small sub. I paid $1.75 for potato chips and $2.50 for a bottle of water. Really expensive! It was hard to justify paying $15 for a sandwich, chips, and water. Would come back if the lunch combo extended to all the panini sandwiches. Wish there were more delis and cafes in the city that made paninis! read more

Wow! Outstanding! Best deli ever. Highest quality food. Kind service. Reasonable prices. Perfect location and atmosphere.

Nice and clean. Friendly and efficient service! Sean's to be a local favorite. Go here vs. the place next door.

Having never seen the TV show, "The West Wing," I unfortunately cannot inform you as to whether this cafe is accurate or not. However, I will tell you that they do produce a solid sandwich in the Districts of Columbia. Portion-wise, they're as they look - the size of a square piece of bread. However, they do pack a decent amount of meat, much to the delight of a meat-man like myself. Please do not read into that any more than as is stated. The best part about West Wing Cafe (WWC) is the speed at which your sandwich is created. I kid you not, they made my sandwich faster than I could properly address #2 in their bath of rooms. Now that may be a lot of information, but nevertheless, it is an appropriate gauge of their speed. I would like WWC more as a quick-eat, where you stop by to grab something to go and need not linger and waste your precious time. Sure, they have tables where you can sit, but their pace and vibe they give off is just much more of a grab-n-go place. Having tried both their Reuben and their New Yorker, they are equally as good. I would have to give the slight nod to the Reuben as I'm a sucker for that sour sauerkraut, which balances out the succulence and richness of the melted swiss cheese and russian dressing (no collusion here!) a lot better than the coleslaw that comes on the New Yorker. A personal preference, but I definitely think it balances out better. Another speciality for them is their use of Boar's Head meats and cheeses. Quality meats and cheeses? Hael yes. I'm all about quality. Keep in mind that it does make the price slightly higher than I would think for an equivalent sandwich elsewhere. Then again, it is downtown D.C. so maybe the prices aren't that much higher than other sandwich places (keep in mind you don't get any side/fries/pickles with your $9-10 sandwich). TL;DR: Perfect place for a quick bite or a to-go sandwich. Take your pick between the March for Life or the Women's March, but this is one stop I'd make if you were hungry and marching. Just bring it to go so you can march to your hearts delight. read more

Good service and good food. The place was clean and there was nothing to complain about

My husband and I stopped here for an early lunch since it is near his office and he was planning to go into work shortly after lunch. We arrived around 11:30am and there was only one other table but once the clock moved closer to noon, a steady stream of customers (mostly take out) came in. You order at the first register, pay/pick up at the second. They have a wide of variety of hot and cold sandwiches, salads, bibimbap, chips, and drinks. They also have a few sandwiches available as a daily special-$10.99 for the sandwich, a drink, and chips or small soup. My husband ordered the genoa salami panini (Prosciutto, Provolone Cheese, Olive Oil, Basil Pesto) and I ordered the chicken on fire (Jerk Chicken, pepper jack cheese, avocado, sundried tomato, pepperhouse dressing on sourdough grilled). Both sandwiches came out fairly quickly and were sizable. Our total was around $20 with no sides or drinks, but the quality of the ingredients does justify this slightly higher price. I was not able to try my husband's sandwich but he enjoyed the freshness of the prosciutto and the refreshing basil pesto. He did try a bite of mine and said he preferred mine to his. The chicken on fire was spicy, so this is a good option if you lean that way. The chicken was Boar's Head-so very fresh. The sourdough was well-toasted and provided just enough support for the insides of the sandwich. The avocado was plentiful and added a mild note to the meal. My husband has already said he plans on stopping here again to order my sandwich the next time he leaves the office for lunch! read more

Stopped here for a late lunch after the museums (an 8 minute walk away). It was exactly what we were looking for! Fast, friendly service, an extensive menu and great sandwiches, and a robust selection of drinks and chips. They even made a peanut butter and jelly (not on the menu) for our 6-year-old which he loved. We ate outside at one of the handful of tables they had out there and left happy! read more

After spending the week eating at tourist cafeterias in all of the government buildings, we eat here and my husband says "you gotta love yelp" We love sandwhiches.... and this place knows how to make them. You may need some sides to fill you up or you are going to want 2 sandwhiches because they are just normal size sandwhiches... and so delicious. We went mid day for a late lunch, around 3pm. So it was empty and quick. Really nice experience. Love the updated decor and tables. The name helped get our attention. Could eat here everyday. I had the tuna melt, the blt was a big hit with the kids, the chicken parm was made with lunch meat chicken, not the breaded chicken like I imagined, but my daughter liked it. The isabella was our least favorite out of the 5 we tried, but still good. The new yorker had lots of flavor. We left satisfied. read more

I usually eat at the West Wing Cafe located at New Jersey and D - it's one of my favorite sandwich shops in the country. I couldn't get in my normal hotel near The Hill, but was excited to find a West Wing near my downtown hotel. Boy was I disappointed. I just paid $23 for a tiny sandwich, a 2/3 full cup of pineapple pieces and a bottle of water. Not sure if the two restaurants are affiliated, but if they are they should be embarrassed by the 12th street location. If they're not, go the the New Jersey location - better menu, huge sandwiches, etc. plus the one on 12th is just kind of a dump compared to the other location. Did I mention I just paid $23 for a tiny sandwich, tiny cup of fruit, and small bottle of water??? I understand we're living in inflationary times, but sheeesh! read more

This is a great place to grab lunch when you're short on time. Each day features a list of sandwiches paired with potato chips and a soda or a cup of soup. The owner always greets me with a smile and allows me to substitute my favorite sandwich whenever it's not on the list of specials. I love that this shop serves hot sandwiches in addition to cold cuts. I like the chicken sandwich on focaccia. The two pieces of chicken breast are complimented by a refreshing bite of avocado, a sweet dose of honey mustard, along with lettuce and tomato on a toasted focaccia bun. That sandwich with a cup of chicken noodle soup always does the trick. Service is fast and if you're dining in at an off-peak time, you can grab a seat and wait for the staff to bring your sandwich to you. The place has enough seating for about twenty people and there is usually a steady stream of customers from the nearby businesses. This is a reliable lunch spot where you can count on getting service with a smile! read more

West Wing is very unassuming from the outside, but well worth the trip in. It does get pretty busy during peak hours (lunch), but they move quickly. I haven't been for breakfast, but pass by on my way to work and it always smells delicious, so it's something to consider. I tend to stick to the P5 or P7 as I have a penchant for grilled sandwiches, but I have been tempted to try their teriyaki and bibimbap--has anyone else tried it? I would love to know whether they're good or not! I really love the sandwiches and little snacks they offer--I'm currently craving the hazelnut wafers--but if you work in the area it's a great alternative to the foodtrucks or chain stores that litter the area. Pro tip: as soon as you order at the deli counter they give you a plastic number. No need to wait for your food to arrive before you head over to the checkout to pay. read more
