Poppyseed Rye - Shirlington

I usually LOVE this place and have been ordering the same breakfast here for months. Today, it was a horrible experience. What set me over the edge was opening my food and seeing this (after waiting 15 mins for it to be made and I was the ONLY other customer in there). Typically, great experiences here and hoping this was a one time occurrence.

Our favorite spot in Ballston! Food is honestly a hit and the staff is the kindest I know. Decor is beautiful (flower installation across the ceiling). Great florist gift section available. Sundays are great for $3 mimosas and an easy-going brunch. Honestly, a plain bagel with cream cheese there is my favorite (they respect the shmear) but I will also jump for the The Reuben, The Capicola, and their baby-arugula salad. Generous portions and delightful fair.

I love this locally owned eatery. Best breakfast sandwiches, served all day.

There sandwiches are so delicious that i am stopping mid way to tell yall to go order sandwiches from here! The caprese is everything you want, high quality and flavorful ingredients on a crispy bread. Im excited to come back and try their other sammys.

The variety on the menu and the food are good but I sometimes feel like I am not getting the best service and they don't always want to hear suggestions (e.g., I don't need utensils if I do, I will let you know). Today I ordered a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. When I got home to eat it, I noticed that it was a lot of chicken broth and some vegetables but no chicken.
