Coffee is made to order with limited seating inside and a beautiful terrace with seating outside. The market has alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks for purchase. Plus, an array of items that you'd need in a pinch. It's very convenient for the neighborhood. There were four people working behind each counter. The owner was also inside ready to answer questions if needed. It looks like Mott's is back and ready to serve!

Might be biased on the 4 stars here because it is my local bodega that I frequent most. . …read more frequently but it is truly a pleasant experience whenever I come to purchase my groceries (beer). The place is truly cramped but that's alright because there aren't usually more than a couple people buying their groceries (beer) here either. The typical non perishables are all marked up and some of them are even Giant's own generic but it is too much a convenience fee to mind. What makes this place gold is twofold. The first is the lone proprietor, Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu is possibly the hardest working man I have ever met INCLUDING my own father. This guy works every day Monday through Sunday and he is in there to open the place up at 8:00 am and closing it down at 9:00 pm (although I have seen a younger man with similar features that has manned the counter during the day occasionally). When I wanted some groceries (beer) on Christmas day was I worried that he wouldn't be there? No way. I asked him why it is that he can afford to spend all of his time and holidays working and he explained that he had a falling out with his family in 1984 and hadn't spoken to them since. Did I mention he lets me come in and make change for the laundromat? The second is the cheap wine. While a pack of lightbulbs might cost you $4, I have purchased the cheapest magnum bottle of wine I have ever had in my life at Sonya's for about $7. Not the most flavorful but it certainly does the trick ;) If you are concerned about not being able to take the quickest route to the beer fridge because someone is checking out and filling the space between the end cap and the counter then this place might not be for you but if you want convenience and pleasant from someone who has been serving the community for 20+ years, Sonya's is your joint.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it

We didn't get deli because of different dietary issues. One person got the egg salad sandwich, which they said was fine but the onion roll was a bit hard. Another got a BLT, and that also was "fine," with one piece of toasted bread being hard and the other being too soft (not toasted well. I got the grilled chicken salad, The salad was cooked well and tasty and there was a good portion. The greens didn't look particularly fresh, but tasted fine. The salad came with dressing that is a pouch of Ken's. For the price, the meal was fine. I thought the salad was probably the best of the three choices. Maybe the deli is better.

It's great. If you haven't been in a while, come back and try out the new menu.

Your in the great neighborhood of Adams Morgan. You're outside doing some repairs on a condo when you casually drop to your client that's you're heading to lunch, probably Andy's or something. Then the clouds part (metaphorically) and this woman, this angel on Earth suggests you actually try So's Your Mom. She raves about it. It all makes sense to you. Andy's has got enough money. Those stores are popping up like wildfire to hell with that. I'm going to So's Your Mom. It's my kind of place too. Nondescript, mom and pop type of place. Been there for decades. No flashy gimmicks just reliable sandwiches and apparently coffee based on their decor (But I'm here for lunch!). The guy at the counter is friendly, he's a talker, he's got recommendations. I don't need them but I ask for all of em Hit me pal! I ignore all of them and get a turkey avocado BLT situation. FANTASTIC. And somehow the bag of indie potato chips is criminally underpriced. He doesn't know they're charging like $3.50 a pop for these down at Adams, Morgan, Ace and other places around the city. Maybe they're going to know it when they read this review and if prices go up I'm sorry but also these greedy DC landlords are wrenching rent prices everywhere and So's your mom has to pay the bills! Anyway it's worth every penny and I can't wait to go back. Wish I lived in AdMo

So's Your Mom is a hole in the wall breakfast and bagel spot in Adams Morgan. My husband and I…read morestumbled upon it when we were walking back from Because Science toward our hotel. The signs outside advertising bagels got our attention. This establishment is cash only, so bring cash or hit the ATM before you come. The prices are incredibly reasonable, though, and probably less overhead/swipe fees. The whitefish and lox spread bagel was wonderful for only $5. It is not a huge bagel but the perfect size for breakfast. Personally, I'd rather not have any leftovers since I'm traveling and our room didn't have a mini-fridge or microwave anyway. You wait for your food for awhile, but we found some nice locals to chat with and they recommended a few other spots to us. There's no seating so you must take your food to go. It's too bad we found this spot on our last day in DC, but it will be our go-to if we stay at the Washington Hilton again.
