Good selection of food, beverages, and snacks. Friendly service. A bit pricey but not unexpected. They forgot the bacon on my Tasty Turkey, which I discovered after we were on the road and well into Maryland :(

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.

Lovely Café to grab some snacks and coffee for break with very fair prices. Music and atmosphere is phenomenal thanks to the kind employees. Came here as a german tourist and loved to visit for breakfast.

This place was okay. Sandwiches were small for the price. The bowls were good. There was a homeless person sitting at one of the tables and made people uncomfortable. Service was okay. I probably won't be back.

The quality of the bread alone would be a deciding factor in choosing this Cafe over other sandwich shops. I had a quick pleasant experience ordering online for pickup. Reserving 1 star because I was slightly disappointed to open my chicken parm sandwich to find deli style chicken instead of the classic fried tenders etc...

Excellent sandwich shop in the heart of DC. We ate at the 12th Street location twice last week and were very happy with the quality and service. Our group of 4 had a variety of sandwiches and everything was great. I personally had the club sandwich both times and loved it. Everything was very fresh, service was quick and friendly. Prices are not cheap, but we found the whole area to be expensive. Compared to the other places we had lunch that week, West Wing was the best value for the money, due to the superior taste and quality. Highly recommend.

Small run down sandwich shop, ordered a $12 dollar turkey, egg and cheese, only to be charged extra $2.75 for bacon and all they did was put one strip of bacon on the side of the plate.... this is absolutely absurd. The sandwich was not very good and the croissant was burnt. Couldn't even finish the food, no wonder on a Monday morning this place is fully empty.
