    Grilled chicken Mediterranean wrap
    Shawna M.

    Overall a clean place with fresh food. I got the Mediterranean chicken wrap and it was good, but the chicken was a tad dry. The vegetables were fresh and the right texture. I do wish it had more tzatziki sauce. The onion rings were crunchy and hot, but 6 for almost $5 felt a little steep. The service was quick and we were in and out in a few minutes. Would I come back? Yes. Would I recommend for a quick lunch? Also yes

    Chicken Teriyaki

    I can't believe it took me so long to give Gallery Cafe a try. To be honest, saw it for the first time on Google Maps/Yelp a month ago and glad my friend was also willing to give it a try today for lunch. This place is pretty integrated within the corporate office buildings and hidden from the view of main streets - everyone we saw who got food here seemed to work nearby (and wearing business casual). There are lots of options here. It's a Korean inspired cafe that sells sandwiches, omelettes, soups with a Korean flair. Additionally, they also have staples like japchae, bibimbap, and other rice dishes. There's also a variety of drinks and chips that you'd see at a deli. There seems to be an extensive coffee selection and they use Illy beans. CHICKEN TERIYAKI - 11.99 It comes in a big takeout container with a heaping amount of chicken on top and a bed of rice (you can choose between white or brown) with stir-fried green bell peppers and romaine lettuce in between. They also have "Yum yum" sauce which you can ask to drizzle on top to enhance the flavor. Not sure what it was, but it was creamy - maybe sesame based? I'd personally ask for a light amount of sauce for the food to not be overly saturated. Overall, the chicken was tasty and cooked well. You really get a good bang for your buck. It was a lot of food for me and I'm glad I can get a second meal out of it. I'll definitely be back soon to try out other options they have like their bibimbap with bulgogi or the japchae. Honestly, their more American options sound amazing as well. Super happy we stopped by here today for lunch and that we branched out from our usual and overeaten Wilson Street restaurants.

    Had a breakfast sandwich it was ok but not very good. It was hot and fresh but the bread and ingredients weren't very good. I will prob not eat here again.

    2 eggs & cheese croissant sandwich and a latte.

    I had an appointment in the same building, first patient of the day. As I was walking back to my car afterwards, I noticed this cafe. I was looking for coffee. This East Asian cafe is large in size and serves breakfast and lunch. I ordered a latte and a 2-egg and cheese croissant sandwich (two eggs in one sandwich not 2 egg sandwiches). However, there was a bit of a language barrier because they charged me for two sandwiches but they quickly refunded me when they realized their mistake. (The sandwich is named 2 egg on the menu because they use two eggs.) As of December 29th 2021, this cafe was open.

    Came in for a quick breakfast. Western omelette and coffee. Quick and tasty! Glad I came in.

    This cafe has a super nice vibe. Spacious interior, and the workers are great! The food tastes amazing and the prices are super good here! I would definitely recommend trying one of the hot sandwiches here. The menu is extensive with lots of subs, rice bowls, wraps, omelets, soup, and etc. One of the best cafes I've been to in nova.

    Super fresh!

    BEST SANDWICH PLACE EVER!!! I had to look for a new lunch place after Cosi closed down. So happy I found this place. I had their Adams Morgan chicken sandwich. Their ingredients are SO FRESH and chicken has been marinated so it's super flavorful!! I also love they have fruit cups that look fresh! Also they serve lunch menu all day - most places only do after 11 am. Will be coming back a lot!

    Only if you are in a pinch for something quick and simple. Didn't care for the prefab burgers. Fries were fine and service was good.

I fell in love with them while visiting BMore's Cafe Dear Leon and wanted to find a local place offering them...and Yelp led me to Roggenart Bakery. In addition to ordering a Crookie, I ordered a small beet salad, cheese Danish and a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. I am completely hooked. Everything was so fresh and tasty and I now have a new "go to" spot for my breakfast fix. I have raved so much about Roggenart that my friends and colleagues are now ordering. The customer service is excellent. Even though I have used UE for most of my orders, my packaging is always done well. Nothing is squished or dripping. Can you imagine having beet juice everywhere?!? Also, my co-worker has visited to pick up our order and she said it's very clean and smells amazing. Don't hesitate to order. You won't regret it. Happy eating!!!!

She was kind, welcoming, informative, patient, helpful in every way in a time where she easily could've turned me away. It was any forced, over the top customer service, rather a nice person doing a nice thing and that is truly rare to find these days. Needless to say, she immediately made my day and has given me some Easter spirit lol Of course, the spinach and tomato quiche and pistachio latte were some serious icing on the cake. Thanks again, I'll be back someday to enjoy the peaceful ambiance inside, until then the outside courtyard couldn't be much better By the way, they have a pretty cool deal 50% off baked goods box when they have excess, what a gem!

About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy.

Long line to order. Also bought some coffee beans. Employees tried to work as fast as they could. Breakfast taco came out before the coffee. Food was delicious and super filling! My cookie butter latte was AMAZING! Just the right sweetness! Also got to try some of the earl grey matcha and it was good. Highly recommend this coffee shop!

    Super cute coffee shop but WOW does it get busy here!…read more They do themed drinks for cherry blossom season which certainly contributes to how busy it was, but the drink quality and food is genuinely quite good. The line went out the door and it took a while to find a free table. Service is very friendly despite how busy they were. It took a long time to get our drinks and food (at least 10+ minutes) but that came at no surprise: we were there during rush hour right as the Cherry Blossom 5K ended with a bunch of hungry runners arriving at the same time, us included. The Strawberries & Cream Matcha Latte was a popular pick. I enjoyed mine but it didn't stand out too much from other strawberry matcha lattes I've had in my life. My friend ordered the Earl Grey Matcha Latte and topped it with lavender foam and this was definitely the way to go. Also tried the sundried tomato and feta sandwich which was a perfect light snack. The hash brown and egg burrito was also delicious but really dense. Ambiance is a 10/10- they hung faux cherry blossoms from the ceiling and also have a positive affirmation wall in the back for people to contribute to. I would definitely be a regular here if I was a local. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 4/5
