    Steak & Cheese On Sub Roll
    J L.

    As I'm sitting here ravaging my steak and cheese sub for lunch, I'm wondering how come I haven't already written a glowing review of King St cafe! As an old town local, it can be hard to come by a solid lunch spot that doesn't feel overpriced and a bit tourist-trappy on King street. King Street Cafe, though... this place feels almost like a NYC bodega with the chill atmosphere and humongous variety of hot/cold sandwiches and wraps, salads, breakfast food, and even smoothies. And let me tell you, the steak and cheese is SO GOOD. I've gotten it with chicken before too, and it is equally lustfully delicious The staff is as authentically warm and friendly as they come. It seems there are lots of regulars like myself, and everyone who comes through the door is treated like a regular, too! Seriously I would be heartbroken if this place didn't exist. Old town staple for sure.

    We wanted a cheap (but good) breakfast our last morning in Old Town Alexandria. Found this no frills cafe by searching on Yelp. It's a small establishment that was moderately busy with locals coming in and out, mostly ordering to go. It was a 2-woman show this morning, the service was great. We ordered the Pancake Platter and the Veggie Breakfast Burrito to share. Everything was well made. The prices were very good. They use paper and styrofoam plates and plastic utensils.

    Walk in, order from the counter and breakfast is served on styrofoam, with plastic utensils. We were hoping for a place with full service, but stumbled in here. Styrofoam service is not bad, if the tastes are good. Price is right! My over easy eggs were cooked just right, bacon just the right amount of crispy. Bonus points for no frozen butter and no cold syrup for my french toast. Good place for quick breakfast!

    Chipotle chicken sandwich. Clearly I was hungry

    I went here for lunch last Tuesday and got the chipotle chicken sandwich and it was delicious. I came back this morning and got a breakfast sandwich which was also very good. Needles to say I found my new go to sandwich spot that has great service.

    Every neighborhood needs great small businesses and this is one of them. Located in the old town area of Alexandria this little shop serves a variety of breakfast food options, hot and cold sandwiches, and wraps in addition to providing an array of different smoothies. Prices are fair with the menu items falling below $10. Service is always excellent whenever I've been there and while the staff comprises of only two people they manage to always get your orders out in an expedited manner no matter how packed the shop may get. The food is really good, I've tried a large portion of the menu items but the wraps are my personal favorite. Please stop by and support this place whenever you're in the area.

    Perfect little deli on King Street. The workers are the absolute best. Misun the owner is so sweet and the workers Yolanda and Doris are always very kind; they all make it a point to know your name. I come here at least one time a week, usually more, since it's a couple blocks from my job. The food is always hot and tasty. A few favorites: bacon breakfast burrito, the BEC breakfast sandwich, steak and cheese sandwich, and the chipotle chicken club. Recently tried the primo hoagie and it was very delicious and exactly what I was craving. You can usually customize your sandwiches to your liking. Food is made quick and they will take pick up orders on the phone. It's a tiny place with only a few small tables inside. Lots of options for a reasonable price. Would recommend coming in you're near by!

    King Street Cafe is located in Old Town Alexandria, 2 doors down from Alexandria Cupcake and across the street from Sam Phao Thai Cuisine. My husband and I decided to stop by this little cafe for some sandwiches to take with us on our trip back home to Los Angeles the next day. We came in this past Saturday, around 4:35 pm (the place closes at 5 pm). When we came in, we were greeted by an employee behind the counter and a woman, whom I believe is the manager/ owner of this little eatery. After browsing the menu, we ended up getting: Hummus Chicken Wrap, $7.55 prior to tax- Initially I had ordered this sandwich in a pita, but thought a wrap would be easier to eat on the plane. It is the same price if you opt for this to be made in a pita though in case you prefer that. The chicken were pieces that was cooked on the griddle behind the counter. This wrap is packed with lettuce, tomato, bell peppers, mushrooms, alfalfa sprouts and cucumber slices, spread with hummus on the wrap. My wrap was already cut in half when I had unrolled it from the shiny foil. Half of the wrap was more than enough for me (my husband ate the other half). Very filling and a delicious wrap. Hummus Turkey Wrap, $7.55 prior to tax- My husband and I shared this wrap when we arrived back home from our long trip (again this, along with the chicken wrap was consumed the day after these delicious wraps were made). Just like the chicken wrap, this wrap had plenty of vegetables (the exact same) and a spread of hummus. But this wrap had thin turkey slices instead of cooked pieces like the chicken. Cooked pieces of turkey would have been better, but I still enjoyed the wrap. ---------------------------------- (Total= $16.77 after tax) Pricing for our wraps were pretty cheap, especially for the portion. It is nice to find a place where I am not being overly charged for something simple like a sandwich or wrap, in this case. Service was friendly. Wait time wasn't too long. The person I suspected to be the owner had marked which wrap was turkey so that we would know which was which. Inside this little cafe are a handful of tables and chairs. There is also 2 single restrooms inside (the ladies restroom was clean upon this visit). Along with a variety of sandwiches available for purchase, King Street Cafe also sells bibimbap, fruit smoothies (made to order), beef bulgogi rice bowl, burgers and quesadillas. Breakfast is also available until 11:30 am. If I lived in this area, I would be back.

    Looking for value? This is the place (PERIOD). SO MUCH FOOD!!!!! I will be back and a regular. I have never said that a restaurant deserves 6++ Stars, but this one does. Outstanding food, value, and exceptional service and customer interaction. The food is fresh and well seasoned. The southwest wrap is loaded with brown rice and chicken. Definitely a meal to keep you full all day. The egg and sausage burritos are well balanced and are packed delicious sausage. Chicken Quesadilla was filled with grilled onion and soooo much chicken. The owner is amazing extremely kind and friendly. She noticed we didn't grab napkins and she brought them to us. Very family friendly. Wonderful experience.

    Egg, bacon and cheese with hash brown
    Orquidea R.

    Stumbled across this place and the 3 stars are for the efficient employees who are quick and friendly however the food is greasy and pricey. For three days in a row I was getting breakfast here as it was the only place I knew of when I started at a new job location. Each day I ordered something different trying to see what was "better" and sure wasn't able to grasp the taste of the breakfast items. I had the chicken breakfast burrito one day (bathe it on hot sauce for flavor. Another day ordered a egg, bacon and cheese with mayo and was a bit messy and greasy and another day ordered the "home fries", found that it was a typical potato cake that you buy by the box at your local grocery store. It's a convenient location for those on King St. However I hate to start my day with the taste of oil and butter which doesn't make for a good start of my day. The prices thou are reasonable for the area.

    All that's left lol

    See all

    Their teriyaki chicken wrap is amazing! Customer service is always great. (Hoping they'll join Uber Eats for easier carry out options!)
