My friend and I work from home and have often lamented the fact that there's not a good sandwich spot around. Well, we found one! This tiny corner store makes THE BEST sandwiches. They're unique combination and extremely tasty. They also sell a variety of interesting chips and beverages. Awesome awesome lunch/sandwich spot read more

The most poppin place in navy yard to get a sandwich! They have some pretty irregular hours, but when it's open there is always a line that moved very quickly. Great service and an even better sandwich. I always get the stadium and love that it comes with a side pickle. If you are in need of sandwich this place is awesome! read more

The Monument is a delicious sandwich! The owners are fantastic people. They use fresh ingredients and are very friendly to customers. A true hidden gem sandwich shop in Navy Yards! read more

Amazing food and fast service at a fair price. The DuPont is a killer roast beef sandwich and it's the only thing I ever order.

Fresh sandwiches and Danica is always friendly. You can also buy salad, dessert, drinks and chips.

Fantastic sandwiches, great little shop full of fun treats, excellent food, and quick service!

So happy this place is on the same street as my new building. Since I work from home it's so crucial to have places like this within walking distance. Came to this corner store for lunch today and ordered the stadium sandwich, per recommendation of the lady who worked there. You have the option of ordering the sandwiches as subs as well, but I wanted to stick with the original as she said it was their most popular option: Sandwich: Lettuce. Avocado Turkey Bacon Spicy Russian sauce (similar to spicy mayo) Simple. Filling. Priced to please. Will definitely be frequenting this gem during the work week. Perfect for anyone who works or lives in the area. Side note - They do bugolgi specials on Thursday as well so I'm interested to see how those pan out. read more

Cornercopia - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Oh Cornercopia my saving grace for my stay at the Courtyard down the street. Food options are very sparse at 6pm around this area, and I was starving. I pulled up my handy dandy Yelp App, and found this hidden gem! The sandwiches are truly amazing, and I was super excited to have found this place. The store is on the corner, which is why it's called "Cornercopia." It is a local convenient store, but sell awesome sandwiches. Here is a quick review of the two sandwiches I tried: The Greenline: Veggie sandwich that includes lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, cranberries, and I omitted the onions. There's also smoked Gouda cheese (my fav) and their homemade pesto sauce!! The sandwich is probably 2" thick, and I ordered it with marble rye bread. It was soo delicious with all the flavors melting into one. The veggies really melt well with the smokiness of the Gouda and the herby pesto sauce. The rye bread was just the right touch to complete the sandwich! The Stadium: A turkey sandwich with all the best fixin's. It starts out with a peppered turkey breast, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. This was all held together with their wonderful tangy russian dressing on wheat bread. Again, the sandwich is probably 2" thick, and the best part was the dressing. One bite of this sandwich, and I was so happy I felt like I was in euphoria. Cornercopia definitely has the best sandwiches I've ever had!! The service, on the other hand, wasn't the best. I know everyone raves about it, but I just didn't get the same experience the two times I was there. The guy behind the counter didn't have a smile and was not very pleasant. I would still patron here for the sandwiches, but I definitely wouldn't come here just for the service. read more

Still the best sandwich in town. Glad to see they remained open during Covid. My go-to is the Stadium on wheat with a pickle. But I'm told every sandwich is the bomb. read more

Cornercopia - Best sandwich in town! - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Such a neighborhood gem!!! If I could give 10 stars, I totally would. Super small, family owned, sandwich/bodega spot in Navy Yard. The staff is so friend and they have all the high end snacks! I always get the Stadium.... loaded with turkey and the special sauce is to die for!! When in navy yard.... swing by grab a soda or special tea and take a walk towards the water to chill. I would love for this place to have outdoor seating someday.... Please :) read more

This place is a neighborhood gem! I wish there was a way to reply to people on yelp- everyone who is saying service is not good...I assure you that the problem is YOU. I've been here enough to have interacted with everyone and they are super friendly- service is also really fast even with a line! Every sandwich we've tried is delicious- we have to limit ourselves to a once a week treat, otherwise it would be dangerous.... Although NOT wallet-wise- for as chock full of fresh goodies as they fill these giant beauties- the price is more than fair. I'd spend 2-3x on all the ingredients and making them at home. They also have a lot of specialty goods. read more

Highly recommended. Stopped by to get out of the Subway rut; no offense to Subway just been going there a lot. This place has great sandwiches, great service. I had the breakfast sandwich, eggs, pesto, bacon, tomato. Yum. I'll be back again. read more

I was a total bonehead today and left the house without my wallet, nor cash. I ordered the Monument sandwich, then quickly realized my Apple Pay was not updated. They let me call in my payment details. I think it speaks volumes about their values as a business when dealing with a bonehead such as myself. I will definitely be returning and trying another delicious sandwich off their menu. read more

Great place for delicious sandwiches! The sandwiches are consistently fresh and tasty. Nice friendly service too! Dianne read more

I started to expand my scope of lunch eats just from the office to several blocks and beyond. This has taken me to Cornercopia a corner shop sandwich place with approximately a dozen subs in their arsenal. An armament that is absolutely outstanding, the subs are named after DC areas or landmarks and though I have only made my way through two of them, it has been a joy each time. My favorite sandwich with turkey, pesto and cranberries which I can not recall the name currently is my pick for this face, but more adventurous types will find an assortment to their liking. The C shop is only missing out on a perfect score by own stubbornness and no club sandwich option. Maybe I didn't ask about that but I didn't see it either. It's still hella good Cornercopia I bow my head in your direction. read more

Cornercopia - Capitol sandwich halfway gonzo! And hitting! - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've gone here maybe 3 times in the 4 times that I have worked by the navy Yard and I don't know why I ha vent gone back more often! It's delicious! I had "Mom's chicken Salad" which is huge and plenty for two meals. Its on a hearty sub roll with just the right consistency of chicken and mayo and celery and then delicious pesto and cranberries....I consider myself a chicken salad fiend and when I find some that I like, I cant get enough! I went in today around 11:30, thinking there would be a wait, there were about 8 people ahead of us. Surprisingly we were in and out in under 10 minutes. They are a well oiled machine! They have plenty of drinks, and chips and other snacks to choose from as well. My friend Kim got "The Georgetown" which is a fan favorite. Roasted Turkey, pesto sauce, cranberries on a french roll. She gets it every time. As a sandwich shop I would say it's one of the best! read more

Great food! Wish they didn't sell out of their rustic bread sometimes but definitely recommend for the food!

This is an amazing local sandwich shop with a variety of options. The staff are super nice and friendly. Call ahead because the lunchtime rush can get busy, but it's well worth it. Support local business! read more

Amazing sandwiches at decent prices. Love the sandwich names, the business name, and the friendly staff.

Favorite sandwich shop in Navy Yard. The staff is always friendly no matter how busy it gets. I get the green line vegetarian sandwich. I suggest calling in your order ahead of time. read more

After frequenting the place many times and trying all of their non-vegetarian sandwiches (there's only one veggie option), I've decided. Georgetown's my favorite! read more

Thanks Albert for the kind invitation. I stopped by today again for lunch. This time I ordered the Georgetown. The pesto piqued my interest so I got that. I'm not a fan of dried cranberries, but by the time I finished my sandwich I was really enjoying these sweet berries. The sandwich was by no means lean on the meats either which I appreciated, but next time I think I'll have to request more pesto sauce. I like the cozy corner mart idea a lot especially in this neighborhood, but I wish there was a stronger reason to draw me back more often. If the price point for lunch was a little more competitive, I could definitely see myself coming here more often and not simply as an escape from Sizzling Express or Subways. read more

In the sparsely populated Navy Yard/Near SE area, it's a wonder Cornercopia doesn't have customers lining up out the door looking to escape the otherwise bleak lunch fare of Five Guys, SizzEx and a hot dog stand. Then again given the random location at the corner of K & 2nd, I'm surprised anybody knows about it at all. I only happened by it a week ago on my way back to work from a lunch time soccer game at Folger Park. Cornercopia's name, while painfully punny, is appropriate considering their offerings. In this tiny little shop, they have managed to cram in a good selection of beer and wine, snacks, candy, drinks, eco-friendly everything (including wet-naps), a cooler full of pre-made fresh food -- like StickyRice sushi! -- and a deli counter. Offering 6 or 7 sandwich options for lunch-goers, the only disappointment is that there is no place to sit and eat. I had the "Capitol" sandwich: black forest ham, brie cheese, pear slices and a nice, light honey mustard. I was disappointed by the lack of fixins on the sandwich, not realizing that the menu was very literal in its description of the sandwich. Call me crazy, or call it a consolation prize, but for $8, I'd like to have the option of even half of the toppings you can get at ANY other sandwich shop. Still, I'll head back to try some of the other intriguing sandwich combos. read more

Came here earlier today with my husband and baby. Very clean store, with a nice selection of snacks, ready to grab meals, and sandwiches made to order. The woman that helped me was kind and patient as she waited for me to read the menu. Ordered "The Capitol" and grabbed a bag of chips for a total of $9. Hubby got the Thursday bulgogi special and a water for $10. Walked to the water fountain to eat and our food was delicious! Definitely an easy and affordable pick if ever you're around the navy yard. read more

Tiny but cute shop selling great sandwiches, korean bulgogi, and gourmet groceries. You can get asian treats like panda chocolate cookies or gourmet chocolates/breads/cookies/drinks, etc. The variety of chips is fantastic and there are several cakes and cheesecakes for dessert. The Stadium turkey BLT with avocado and spicy Russian dressing on wheat is superb. Very fresh and flavorful with quality ingredients. I could eat any one of their sandwiches everyday. The owner was kind and patient enough to allow me to sample the bulgogi since I couldn't make a decision. While good, it needs more spice, but I guess you can customize the spice level to your liking so that's nice. Wish they had a NOVA outpost. Kind of pricey for a singe serving and no seating hence the 4 stars. Had to go eat at Lot 38 across the street. Cornercopia is a delish treat and will definitely return if I'm in the area. read more

Cornercopia - The Capitol - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Not so hidden treasure in the fast growing ballpark/Navy Yard. You can't go wrong with any of their offerings but my go to is the Capitol Hill sandwich, a unique ham sandwich with dijon mustard, brie, and pear. Great for a quiet summer Friday workday. Only wish they had some outdoor seating w umbrella. read more

Cornercopia - Capitol Hill sandwich - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Whaat! I have been living in the area for about 6 months now and didn't know this place existed. I have been craving a hoagie (but apparently they don't really exist outside of Philadelphia) and the navy yard Taylor Gourmet is so hit or miss. Yelp led me to this small little shop and I was not disappointed! Super friendly staff and a delicious sandwich. I got the "Georgetown" which is turkey, garlic mayo, lettuce and some sort of cranberry spread (hunks of cranberry). I didn't realize till I was finished that there was no cheese on it. Usually this would be offensive to me as I LOVE cheese but I didn't even miss it on this Sammy. Not QUITE the same caliber as Philly hoagie shops but it hit the spot. Looking forward to trying other sandwiches. read more

Cornercopia - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Small sandwich shop/convenience store in the Navy Yard neighborhood. The sandwiches are always solid and filling, and the people there are very nice. I wouldn't come out of your way for it, but if you're in the neighborhood, it's worth checking out. read more

My favorite sandwich store. The bread is fresh, the service is quick and the location is safe. I often get the Navy Yard, which is a tuna on sourdough bread. The other food is just as amazing. I'm not a pork eater but the ham options do smell good to even me. If more people knew about this spot, it would be one of those marquee DC spots for the trendy. read more

Cornercopia - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

OMG this place is so amazing. The sandwiches are all SO FRESH. Today I got the stadium I believe it was called--pepper turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato, gouda & russian dressing. I got gouda instead of bacon because I dont eat bacon and it was the best sandwich ever. Ive also gotten the roast beef sandwich as well and others and each time the ingredients are so fresh. Cant recommend this place enough! So glad they survived the worst of the pandemic :) read more

I visited recently for lunch. It's a convience store/ delicatseen located near canal park in SE. It is a small shop with blackboard with different sandwich options. The menu is fairly diverse. The store also includes beer wine and other sundries. I tried the stadium sandwich. Turkey based with lettuce tomato avacado bacon and spicy Russian dressing. Got it on a sub roll. Overall it was very good. I would get it on a toasted bread next time though. Flavorful turkey and all the veggies were fresh. A little pricey but around the going rate for fresh ingredients and quality sandwich in DC. Not a huge selection of drinks but quality selection of chips and very good pickle on the side. Worth a visit. read more

Amazing sandwiches! The BLT and Monument are delicious. They have great COVID protocols in place. Everyone wears masks and is very clean. So great to have a neighborhood sandwich shop close by! read more

About 2 blocks north of the Navy Yard is a DC gem: Cornercopia. They have the BEST sandwiches, snacks and drinks. My favorite is The Stadium: Boar's Head Turkey, bacon, lettuce tomato, with spicy Russian dressing. Get it on two slices of marble rye that beat Seinfeld's favorite bread. They are friendly and fast and always have a recommendation for something new to try. Sitting outside devouring one of these great sandwiches will make you late for work after lunch, but it is worth it. read more

This place is amazing!! I got The Stadium on sourdough and it was soooo good. Everything tastes super fresh and the sandwich is huge! I didn't even realize until I had almost finished it, that it didn't have cheese on it. This is normally unheard of to me, but the sandwich didn't even need it. I want to try everything else this place makes! read more

Best ... ham ... sandwich ... EVER! Love this little hole in the wall. They put pears on their ham sandwich and it's fantastic. Order this (description taken from their menu): The Capitol $7.89 A sandwich named after congress has to be a ham & cheese, get it, pork? but you won't mind paying for this one. an artisan ciabatta roll is spread with a blend of dijon mustards and is filled with generous amounts of sliced black forest ham, brie cheese, and sliced pears. this is one capitol that works well together. read more

I don't even think about going anywhere else for sandwiches! I love the stadium from cornercopia. It's delicious, and I dream about it everyday. I've never experienced anything but kindness from the staff. I love that it's a small business and the only thing I'm sorry about is that I ignored that it's right across the street until I finally tried it recently. read more

Just recently a sandwich was brought to me by a friend who had stopped by this place called Cornercopia in SE DC near the Navy Yard. Being somewhat of a sandwich snob, I wasn't sure if I would like it or not but decided to give it a try. My friend decided that I would enjoy Mom's Chicken Salad, and since my friend knows how I feel about sauce and cheese, she decided to ask for the extra for me, this is why we are friends! lol. Anyhow, wow.... it was amazing. I don't usually compliment your ordinary sandwiches but it was really good. First off, the bread is definitely fresh, and the mixture of the chicken salad was a perfect balance of salty and sweet in your mouth. Also, the sandwich is really big so I ended up eating only half and saving the other half for later. Later on I found out that the reason I enjoyed their sandwich so much is because this is a small mom and pop kind of place in DC who are true connoisseurs of sandwiches. They actually hand make everything that they make like the sauces, they get fresh daily baked breads delivered daily, and every sandwich includes a little bit of the love they put into it. I have been eating their sandwiches on a regular basis and can't thank my friend enough for finding this place. I will be a regular for as long as they are around! read more

I feel about Cornercopia much like I do about my favorite pair of sneakers. You know what I mean? You're definitely glad to have them around, you appreciate the familiarity you share, and you certainly wouldn't want to lose them. You know at the same time though -- they could probably use a little improvement. In this case, I don't love that Cornercopia has never posted their operating hours. I still can't tell friends exactly when they're open. Also, I'm not personally a fan of either pesto or Russian dressing, but these deli owners love both. (I mean they LOVE them, like on almost every single sandwich.) Now, since their sandwiches are made to order, it's not a big deal to request exceptions, but I'd sure love to see a little ground mustard, Italian dressing, chipotle mayo, or something of variety on the menu. On the other hand, like with your favorite pair of sneakers, there are aspects of a relationship that become so familiar and comfortable that you can't imagine them changing. In this instance, I love that the owners choose high quality products, that they stock the shelves with unique items you don't find everywhere else. I also appreciate that they opt to run the deli themselves, overseeing most of the daily details. Sandwiches are made to order, shelves are neatly stocked and questions are answered by the same people placing the store's orders. So, while Cornercopia may not be perfect, I'm glad that like that comfortable pair of sneakers I referenced, they perform reliably when I need them. read more

This place is a breath of fresh air. In an ongoing era of large chain groceries and places that only sell over-processed food, Cornercopia is a delightful exception. Some friends introduced me to this neighborhood gem a few months ago, and I've been hooked ever since. In addition to making tasty sandwiches (they have a half dozen or so to chose from), Cornercopia also sells a variety of other goodies, including fresh produce, beer & wine, and other goods. They also have lunch specials (dumplings and bulgogi are two recent specials). They even have a "wine bar," but I don't know if anyone has sat there, yet. If you want traditional sandwiches (or traditional sandwich fixings) or food that'll make you feel bloated, then you should stick with Subway, Five Guys, or Sizz Ex, which are all nearby. As for me, this is my SE DC lunch place of choice. read more
