Super cute cafe! We got The Rachel and the sausage breakfast sandwich. Both were made fresh and were very delicious! Quick counter service. Definitely would go back!

Shelby P.

I loved the aesthetic of this restaurant. I was super excited to try it. Ordering was quick and easy and menu is very straightforward. Please see my photo attached. The chicken the way it looks is exactly what it tasted like. Super bland and just not good. The name is southwest chicken salad. You'd think it would be packed full of flavor. Everything in there had absolutely zero flavor and true portion was way too big that I ended up having to waste half of it. I'd come back maybe to try and sandwich but the salad which should've been so simple was so bland it was shocking.

Great cafe! It's clean, chic, has spacious design with seating both inside and outside. Also fairly convenient near a metro. My friend got a crogel (croissant bagel) and she said it was delicious

Alexandra A.

The inside was really cute! I was only in there for one second to pick up a takeout order. The smoked turkey was really good. I loved the mustard and the brie on it. I would definitely try more! Unfortunately, I did order the potato salad and they forgot to include it, so that was a bummer.

Naomi J.

Very cute space, nice employees, but the biscuits and gravy (2/5 stars) were terrible. The biscuits were incredibly dry, the sausage had little flavor, and the gravy was gritty. Unfortunately I will not be able to recommend this dish to anyone, but I've heard the other dishes are worth it, so I'm giving a 3/5 overall.

Interesting concept of it being a more upscale cafe (sandwiches + coffee) yet being a floral shop. I heard from a friend that Poppyseed Rye has high quality sandwiches (but for a price) with fresh ingredients, so I decided to finally give it a try. BURRATA - 12 It comes with a thicccc piece of burrata but I wanted more protein so I paid +5 for turkey in my sandwich. At the moment, I wanted the turkey so it was worth. In hindsight, it was absolutely not worth paying 17.00 for a sandwich (even if it was quite tasty). The burrata was fresh and light, which always goes well with a juicy slice of tomatoes, the garlicky flavors of pesto and the tangy zing of balsamic glaze. The roll was also fresh and not overwhelming (the bread and ingredients ratio was good). I was very full after this sandwich. Definitely great, but not worth +5. Overall, the pricing here is $$ but definitely high quality ingredients and good flavors. I'd come back for a different sandwich and would be open to explore more of their food items in the future.

Ordered the Capicola, Ham, Salami and it was a phenomenal sandwich put together by some really friendly people. Couldn't ask for a better neighborhood spot!

A flower and sandwich shop all rolled into one. This spot has been on our to-do list for a few months. We were finally in the area and decided to stop in to see what they had to offer. If you need any type of floral arrangements, they can provide. If you are hungry and in the mood for a quick bite, they have tons of great options. From sandwiches to flat breads, to salads Poppyseed Rye aims to please. In the mood for something stronger than lemonade? They have beer, wine and mimosas. This place would be great for brunch! I had the hot pastrami Reuben, and my hubby had the smoked turkey sandwich with roasted red pepper mustard, brie and arugula. Everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, great ambiance and delicious food...we will definitely be back soon!

After meeting a friend for lunch, we left underwhelmed. While there around noon on a Wednesday, there was a health flow so clearly people like it. (Maybe we ordered wrongly?) I ordered the quiche of the day (bacon and cheese). It came out almost cold and lacked flavor. The crust was too dry and barely tasted the bacon. (The side salad it comes with was great!) Afterwards, we ordered croissants. (They get them from Fresh Baguette.) My nutella croissant was too dry and the nutella to dough ratio was off. Despite the subpar food, the service was efficient and kind. And the space is decorated in flowers, an ode to the florist inside. I also appreciated the giant, self-service cold water jug in the corner with lemons for patrons.

Cassie P.

What a lovely lunch outing. The staff was so friendly and the food was yummy! Went in thinking I was going to eat a light lunch- you can... but how can I turn down a biscuit with pork belly?? Yum! Try it! Lovely inside... you can grab some flowers and a card as a gift and grab a coffee and croissant or a quick lunch! Love this little find! Can't wait to go back.

Poppyseed & Rye is pretty, but missing heart. I adore flower shops and was drawn to visit based on the charming aesthetic seen online... it was indeed a pretty place to take my lunch, but still left some to be desired. Food: The toasted veggie panini was flavorful and came with a thick slice of mozzarella and Portabella so I didn't miss the protein at all and it had a great bite to it. The paper the panini came wrapped in was also aesthetically beautiful. The down side was that It was a little bit too oily which made it feel heavy and undermined my choosing a veggie option. Ambiance: The lunch rush still felt stressful and it wasn't the workday oasis I had hoped for. The staff was efficient and professional, but they lacked a personal touch. it felt like an ordinary busy sandwich by shop. Decor alone can't transmit charm and whimsy, you need a culture of hospitality and personal buy in. Floral: Similarly, the florist seemed stressed and busy. I didn't linger at the arrangements nor was I tempted to inquire about a little bouquet ...It gave strictly pre-order vibes. I had hoped to find a few loose stems that one could buy to brighten their desks. Perhaps my expectations were just too high for busy ballston location, but with so much attention to detail and effort to stand out from the ordinary franchise spot or corner deli, it would do them well to consider who they want to be among all the options. I would challenge the proprietors to pay attention to the ethos of the establishment as much as the aesthetic.

The sandwich I got was very average. Based on how it looked and tasted, I'm fairly certain I could make the same sandwich at home with more flavor. To be fair, it wasn't bad but I 100% wouldn't pay for a sandwich like this. Felt like eating a sandwich you smack together when you're so hungry but have time to really make anything, so you literally grab bread and meat read more

The Poppyseed Rye team helped us set up a lovely mimosa bar had a great decorations and excellent service throughout the event. All of our friends were complimenting the restaurant during the party and expressed their excitement to visit again on their own. Poppyseed Rye is a true gem in the Arlington neighborhood.

I love the idea - this is a cafe where they also sell flowers/gift baskets, how cute :) I'll definitely keep this place in mind if I ever need a last minute gift! I got the reuben with no sauerkraut today - personally I'm not a fan of pickled veggies haha. The sandwich was piping hot, it was grilled to perfection and the pastrami was so flavorful. The meat wasn't dry at all. There was a good amount of melted cheese and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back, their pastries look so tasty! read more

I got the hazelnut iced coffee and pesto panini. The panini was really good size for the price, but it's one of those things that only tastes good fresh off the grill because of the egg whites.

Delicious, reasonably priced sandwich spot in ballston. We got the pork belly biscuit and prosciutto sandwich. My feedback is while the biscuit was delicious (buttery/ light) and I liked the sauce on it; my sandwich was a notch above room temp and barely warm. The prosciutto sandwich had a ton of thinly sliced prosciutto and well dressed greens but it almost needed an aioli because it was dry. Very friendly staff and a wide variety of sandwiches. read more

I met a friend here and had the Southwestern Chicken Salad. My salad was very filling and had ample protein I paired it with a green tee and strawberry lemonade to quench my thirst .

Still 5 stars but updating for floral experience. As I said in my earlier review, sandwiches are fire and the drink selection is super fun. Nice ambiance, nice people, all that. Meatball sandwich is, in particular, a masterpiece. Came back a second time for to go lunch before going home to get ready for a friend's party. I needed a gift but hadn't had a chance to grab one and was at a loss. Then I remembered this places has flowers. There were multiple beautiful options at very reasonable prices and I ended up spending under $40 for a large, wild, lush looking bouquet in a vase. It would easily have cost twice that at a traditional florist. Floral service was as attentive as food service and they wrapped it up with tremendous care and attention to detail. A++ read more

That meatball sub is out of this WORLD! It takes like lasagna if it was a sub. That ricotta or goat cheese in it makes all the difference. And the basil and spinach mixture.. ugh so amazing. Genuinely the best meat ball sub I've ever had. Heck, best sub I've ever had. This place is hands down brilliant. I ordered for delivery and it was still warm and wonderful. The jalapeño chips are definitely a staple for the sub. Will 100% order again!! Only down side is it closes at 4:00pm. I would order from here all the time otherwise. read more

I checked out this place yesterday & I definitely recommend! I have seen similar places in NYC and love it! I love the concept of having flowers & small gifts mixed with a cafe. I think because of that variety, the food could be a miss, but it isn't! I had the burrata ciabatta & it was soooo good. The burrata plus the tangy balsamic was an amazing combo. It was $13- which was a reasonable price for the size & quality. The workers were very friendly. They use a text system to let you know when your food is ready. The interior was very relaxing & they had the perfect playlist playing softly, which I loved. They have bouquets of flowers for purchase. I would definitely return here strictly for the nice ambiance, but also for the great food! read more

The Capicola, Ham, Salami sandwich is great. High quality meat and the sub roll has the perfect combo of a flaky, crispy exterior and soft interior that absorbs the oil without becoming too soggy. The Hot Pastrami is also solid, just a bit too much sauerkraut for my taste. Lastly, the service was fast - was in and out in 8 minutes. Will definitely be back to try other sandwiches. read more

Last time I had the Roasted Turkey which was excellent and this time I opted for the Meatball Sub. The meatballs were very juicy and the bread was crispy. I loved the use of goat cheese in additional to the provolone, it gave the sandwich a great flavor. Would definitely return and can't wait to try some more of their sandwiches!

Tasty sandwiches but too expensive to come often. We ordered the roast beef (cold) and roast pork (sandwiches) and thought they were great! I especially liked the pork with the crunchy baguette, pickle slices, and green spread. My partner liked the mustard forward taste of the beef more, but I wish the bread for that one was toasted. The service was friendly and attentive. They had lovely bouquets, so I might stop by to pick one after my current bouquet ends and more so in the winter. They also had soaps and candles, which smelled lovely. I'd probably come here more often if it wasn't for the steep price but I get why it's that high as the ingredients were quality ingredients. Overall, I'd come again on a monthly basis. Happy they are in the neighborhood!! read more

This review's target audience is fellow vegetarians. Poppyseed Rye has just two vegetarian offerings, a marinated artichoke and a marinated tofu. They're both merely...okay. In fact they taste remarkably similar. Very vinegary and very very soggy and messy. (The sogginess is in the prep. I've always consumed them within less than 30 minutes of pickup, so it's not like they sat and got soggier with waiting.) I've envied my carnivore colleagues' roast beef and smoked turkey sandwiches, which look delicious and not at all soggy. Next time, I swear, I'm gonna order a turkey sandwich and simply ask to skip the turkey. Poppyseed Rye, please expand your vegetarian sandwiches, figure out a better way to prepare the two current options, or both. read more

I was looking for a money tree plant. She directed me to them. There were only 2 left. It was rather small. The price was $19.99. Which was pretty steep for such a small plant. I had bought one at Wholefoods at the same price but a lot bigger. I told her that I will be back to buy the plant since I didn't want to carry the plant to another store and it was very hot outside. She said she would hold it for me. It only took me 15 minutes to come back. Once I came back, the woman that worked there said I held it for you. As she handed to me. I was dismayed. The plant had broken leaves, leaves that had been damaged by bugs . I had asked her if I could buy the other plant that was sitting behind the register. She said no. She was holding it for a customer. I said to her that I am here, and Im ready to buy it. She then lies and says a customer had already paid for it. Yet there was no receipt or any indications that it was actually paid for. She asked if I wanted the brokeb plant..

The owner spent almost an hour with me a week prior to pickup to talk about the arragnement including what color flowers, price and size of the arrangement. He wrote in a spiral notebook and added me to the computer system. As requested, I called and left a detailed message but never heard back. I even received a text message saying that they would call me back - the owner claimed it was an AI error. When I went to pick up the arrangement - there was no arragement - and the owner acted like he had never seen me before. In my grief, I lashed out and eventually apologized. What is mind blowing is that the owner could not admit his mistake. Clearly he had messed up and the appropriate thing to do would have apologized. Instead he said the customer is NEVER right and threw us out of the store.

I stopped in around Mother's Day and was amazed by the pricing. Their pre-made bouquets were around $30 and were huge, gorgeous, and far better than anything you'd get at a grocery store for the same price. The florist is wonderful, and every arrangement looks unique, fresh, and high-end. You can truly tell the flowers are quality. Definitely order ahead for major holidays because they get busy. Even though Eden Center parking can be chaotic, I will absolutely keep coming back because the beauty, size, and value of these bouquets are unmatched.

They happened to be located right across the street from my new apartment which made it even easier. I walked in and I could tell immediately that it a family owner business which is something that I also value. The owner was there and he offered me a treasure trove of advice as it related to the different types of floral arrangements and what would probably work best for my friend and her wedding. I got to review everything, from the most basic arrangements to some options that were even more extravagant. He was very transparent about his pricing as well. I really appreciated the time and valuable information that I learned from this store and he gave me a lot to think about.

My mother had nothing but positive things to say about her ordering experience with Michael. He helped her pick out a gorgeous bouquet at a reasonable price point and had them delivered only a few hours later. As a recipient, the flowers were beautiful and lasted over a week. My colleagues were all curious as to where they came from, and happily told them Devers. The next time I need a florist in the Arlington area - I'll be back!

I ordered from here last night and the website quoted me $54.99 for the arrangement. They called me…read morethis morning before sunrise to say the minimum order is $75, plus fees (not explained), but they can't cancel the order. They took the money from my credit card and won't refund it, saying they're having problems with their supplier and I have to talk to the supplier. The supplier, Teleflora, doesn't even have an order from me or know my name. I'm no part of their politics, and now I'm out $75 and a flower arrangement I needed delivered by the day after tomorrow. Worse still, the guy at Devers treated me like all this was somehow my fault. Edited: Added a star after talking with them for a third (or was it a fourth) time. Ed has agreed to deliver the original arrangement as ordered and honor the price on the website. We'll wait and see how well my gift looks when it arrives. I will say that I appreciate his efforts to make this work for all concerned, but the whole transaction has left a sour taste at this point.

The space is so unique and artsy. The walls are covered with beautiful artwork (some of which you can actually purchase), and even the menus are works of art. It made the whole experience feel fun and creative. The staff was wonderful, especially our server Noah, who was incredibly attentive and made the experience even better. We did the bottomless dinner, and the value is honestly unbeatable. We tried the grilled gem lettuce, marinated cucumbers, street corn, hoisin-glazed pork belly bao buns, P22 cheeseburger sliders, spicy shrimp & pancetta pizza, funghi pizza, dan dan noodles, rigatoni norcina, and the sesame steak skewers. Everything was delicious, but the standouts were the dan dan noodles (rich, savory, and packed with flavor), the funghi pizza (crispy with earthy mushrooms and perfectly melted cheese), and the sesame steak skewers (tender, juicy, and coated in a flavorful sesame glaze). The hoisin-glazed pork belly bao buns were soft, fluffy, and packed with melt-in-your-mouth pork, while the rigatoni norcina was creamy, comforting, and perfectly cooked. The grilled gem lettuce was also a fresh, flavorful way to start the meal. For drinks, the white sangria and pomegranate ginger mocktail were both refreshing and delicious. Dessert didn't disappoint either, the flourless chocolate cake (with candied pecans instead of hazelnuts) was rich without feeling too heavy, and the churros were light, crispy, and perfect with the caramel and chocolate dipping sauces. We finished with cappuccinos, which were the perfect ending to the meal. 10/10 experience, we'll definitely be back!

I saw a man painting when I walked in here and it was very detailed. It is a lively scene in here. Palette is a nice play on words for the art palette and palate for taste. They serve tapas (small plates) for a reasonable price. There is an all you can eat option in which your entire table has to order, or you can order a la carte. I ordered primarily off the happy hour menu which included the chicken slider, shrimp tacos, jerk chicken skewer, garlic wings and for dessert, I got churros. Most of the food here were extremely salty and did not agree with my palate. The shrimp tacos were the best thing I ate as the veggies gave the taco a refreshing taste. Not the most sanitary either as I found a piece of hair in my food. There is a parking garage nearby a block away.

The food at Sakaki is full of flavor and the prices are reasonable for the amount. I think, after being twice, that the AYCE is not as worth it for me personally because I'm not a big eater, but it's totally worth it if you want a lot of variety and you have a good appetite. I really liked the rolls in particular. The service was excellent- it was a nice balance of coming over once in a while to ask how we were doing without coming over too much. The vibes are awesome with a really nice interior- definitely a nice place to go for a date,!just to go with friends to have a nice meal, or even to grab a meal alone since the center has a large area for single seating. Fyi- for the AYCE menu, note that once you put in an order for a round, you can't order for another 10 min so be sure to order enough at a time. Also, there is a time limit to the AYCE (I think it was 90 min). This'll definitely be a place I go to regularly in the future!

Service was FAST, they definitely weren't playing games. The restaurant itself is also super spacious and well decorated.

The fried calamari was excellent--crispy, tender, and cooked perfectly. The picarones were outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The alfajor, beautifully shaped like the map of Peru, was the perfect ending to the meal and absolutely delicious. Overall, I enjoyed the food, desserts, and atmosphere, and I would definitely return. With a little less salt in the Ceviche Carretillero, this could have easily been a 5-star experience.

I did the house dry rub and old bay dry rub. The house dry rub, to be honest, was bland and flavorless. The old bay seasoning was very good. I wish the wings had come with more. For $15 you get 8 total wings. It didn't feel like great value. What is great value and tastes great are the Bavarian pretzels as well as the buffalo chicken dip. You truly can't go wrong with either one. They have a robust drink menu. They are lacking a cider on tap but it is what it is. While this might not be the most glowing review on its surface, Bronson's gets 5 stars for its atmosphere and ability to accommodate a wide range of food and drink desires. I watched two World Cup games here and it was a fun, electric atmosphere.

I was in the patio with friends, in the corner, not bothering anyone -- not fighting, not yelling, not approaching strangers. Security walked up, said there was "a complaint," refused to say who it was from, refused to say what it was about, refused to let me talk to the manager, and refused to even let me back inside to grab my own card. My friends asked him to stop. He ignored them. This is the second time their security has unfairly targeted me. The first time I had just stepped outside to take a phone call. The same guard ran after me and started accusing me of stealing -- but couldn't say what was supposedly stolen or who had complained, because nobody actually had. I told him my laptop and jacket were inside at the bar and that all the bartenders know me. He eventually apologized once it became obvious he had nothing. Same guy, same pattern, different night. Also worth knowing: my friend and I had just ordered around $100 in food and drinks at the end. Nothing finished. No refund offered, no apology, no manager. If management thinks letting one guard humiliate paying customers in front of their friends is good for business, here's your feedback. Plenty of better pubs in Arlington that actually respect the people

A Modo Mio

A Modo Mio offers many food specials. For example, on Tuesdays, that's when we stopped there for…read moredinner, all their pasta dishes are 1/2 price. However, given that they ranked 32nd among this country's top 50 Pizza restaurants, I had to order a pizza. And I'll get to my pizza after I discuss some other things, because it all plays together. Also, during my visit, I kept drawing comparisons between this place and Pupatella, a local Neapolitan pizza juggernaut. The Big Question to answer is why A Modo Mio got a spot on the Top 50 while Pupatella didn't even make the cut. Access is easy, and parking is good. There are lots of spaces that wrap around the restaurant. That's in contrast to Pupatell, which has limited parking and where I always wind up using the Safeway lot across the street. The restaurant is clean and spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating. It also has a long, well-stocked bar where you can sit to enjoy a beverage or a meal. Pupatella doesn't have any of that. When you arrive, you're greeted by a host who shows you to your seat. A very short while later, a waiter shows up and does all the things waiters do. At Pupatella, you wait in line to place your order, then find an open table. TLDR: Your dining experience, outside of the food, is much more civilized and relaxing at A Modo Mio. The pie that earned their 32 out of 50 ranking was the Sicilia. But I ordered a 12" Casertana because I'm not crazy about eggplant and like sausage. The pie arrived a short while later, piping hot and loaded with sausage. The taste was sublime and delicious. My only complaint was that the basil was added before baking, and I prefer that herb when it's not reduced to ash. So back to The Big Question, is the A Modo Mio pizza *that* much better than Pupatella that it earned a spot amongst the Top 50 while the other one didn't even make the cut? Frankly, it's not. It is good pizza... possibly great pizza. But that's also true of the other place. What sets A Modo Mio apart from that other place, and the answer to the Big Question, is that the criteria for generating the Top 50 list included more than the pizza. It also took into account: - Hospitality and Service - Ambiance - Beverage Program. Beyond the pizza, A Modo Mio has those things in abundance, while the other place pretty much has none. TLDR: Comparing pizzas side by side, the two places are on par. However, if you take into account the entire dining experience, you will be much happier with your pizza here, as opposed to that other place or most other pizza restaurants in the DMV area.

I made a mistake and didn't realize this was a fork and knife establishment. I picked up my pizza and all the toppings fell off. But to be honest... even with "fork and knife pizza" the toppings should not be goopy and slippery. Does the best pie and Arlington hold like that on the regular? Nothing special about the toppings either. The crust and dough were the best part of this experience, but an amazing pie, should have all component's complimenting each other. Is it decent pizza? Yes. Best pizza in Arlington? I don't think so.
