Amazing from the moment I walked in. I had the goat and oh my goodness me! Blackberry Dijon and goat and bacon. Yes to all of it. Then I had a chocolate chip cookie and crispy Diet Coke. Delightful and to top it off Suzy is so sweet. I can't wait to come back. read more

This is a cute little cafe-ish place in Georgetown. I ordered an iced latte and a grilled cheese woth scrambled egg sandwich. It is just two people working so there can be a wait but the wait is well worth it. The sandwich was delicious and the latte had enough caffeine to keep me awake for hours. Highly recommend and I cannot wait to bring back friends to this place. read more

Located right next door to a hotel, if you aren't looking for this place, it would be easy to walk on by! We stopped in on a weekday for lunch. I got a Halloumi sandwich and my husband got a grilled cheese with tomato soup. I also ordered an oasis smoothie which has dates, oat milk and banana. The Halloumi sandwich has slices of tomato and cucumber on a grilled sandwich with Halloumi. I had never had Halloumi on bread before, and I really enjoyed it, there's lots of seating and once you order a server will bring your sandwich to you. The vibe was relaxing and I'm excited to comeback and try another sandwich. read more

Ambiance is cute, music is nice and calming (classical), staff are friendly. Sandwich was bad. Ordered a two cheese, avocado, and bacon sandwich with the side of tomato soup for dipping. Bread was hard and dry, not enough cheese at all, bacon was hard and not crispy so not easy to bite into at all. Overall underwhelming. Soup was good. Three stars in my opinion. read more

It's a very cozy atmosphere, Classical music is playing while you dine. The menu is written on the chalkboard as you walk in. There are plenty of tables to sit down a group of two or a group of 10. They have outdoor seating in the front of the establishment and the backyard. They have more tables and heaters for the evening, dining, and a firepot. This is a very elegant and classy dining experience. If you wanna go on a date, this is the perfect place. It could also be a little sophisticated depending on what's your level I enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious and fresh, if I'm ever in DC, I will come back and give them a visit. Say Cheese!!! read more

Adorable little spot with gorgeous seating area that is super cute and cozy! Def a small business, with excellent food made to order. Don't pop in for a second, you need to sit for a minute and stay as this is not fast food! We had some brekkie with a quiche and a smoothie, and all the items were quite delicious and pretty darn healthy with greens galore. We loved the food and the ambience and the owner was so very kind with us having our kiddo along; def a great spot to grab a bite for brekkie! read more

I never thought I'd ever go anywhere for a grilled cheese sandwich, but now I have an obsession. Many people think a grilled cheese is best made at home, but they are wrong. This was by far the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had in my life. The sandwich is made on sourdough bread. I can't tell you what kind of cheese was in it, but it wasn't just American. It tasted like I was eating Mac and cheese between two slices of bread. The sandwich was grilled to perfection. The pumpkin lentil soup was also something to rave about. It had a very delicious herby and hearthy taste to it. Everything I had here was made with love. The owner Suzy was such a sweet heart. She prepared me a delicious chai latte to conclude my meal. The timing was perfect. It was a beautiful fall afternoon and here I am in Georgetown enjoying a classic grilled cheese sandwich, pumpkin lentil soup, and a chai latte. This is what autumn is about. This was comfort and tranquility. I'm excited to come back to Georgetown again so I can try another sandwich and another bowl of soup. Thank you for the wonderful meal! The only downside to this was it took long to place our order. They are clearly short staffed and doing everything they can to serve customers quickly. So be patient with the staff. They are doing their best. You really need to give this place a chance. The prices are very fair for what you're getting. If you want a cheap standard grilled cheese this isn't the place for you. If you want a grilled cheese that's going to change the way you think about grilled cheese then you need to come here. I can also attest that the owner is very welcoming of people from all backgrounds. My friend and I felt very accepted here. A good business owner does not judge their customers, and Suzy is clearly a wonderful business owner that deserves recognition where it's due. read more

My absolute favorite new place to get lunch in Georgetown. I've been going once a week as my office is just a street over: the quiche they make is excellent and comes with a delicious side salad. I've also loved their turkey and apple butter sandwich, and the protein shake is quite good too. The staff are incredibly friendly and it's a very cute dining room, plus a huge courtyard in the back to enjoy your food or coffee. read more

Nice and cozy place with indoors and outdoors tables. The food is good, with a variety of sandwiches and soups. The service in general is ok, nothing extraordinary read more

Very tiny restaurant with great atmosphere. I had the Greek salad and chicken soup. The soup was steaming hot and had chicken vegetables and broth, it was delicious. The salad was fresh and pretty decent. This place is just off M street and it's a good thing there was a sandwich board sign out front because I wouldn't have even noticed it. read more

A cool fall afternoon and our growling stomachs led us to Say Cheese at their new location on Thomas Jefferson Ave. And boy are we glad we did! We got the Apple and Brie - smooth melted Brie stuffed with sliced green apples and a thin layer of fig jam on crispy toast. Sweet, smooth and delicious. The Mac and cheese sandwich was decadence in a plate - gooey and chewy mac and cheese stuffed between crispy toast. And a tuna melt , just a little spicy, and a Greek salad, fresh and bright, washed down with an iced tea and an iced mocha. Don't forget the chips - one bag per sandwich, and the cozy intimate decor. Definitely a meal worth talking about, you gotta try this place! read more

Scrumptious Mac & Cheese! Loved the cozy grilled cheese cafe, can't believe I finally discovered it 3 years after they opened up! There are a few small tables inside for seating and a couple of tables in front of the restaurant. The Go Green grilled cheese was tasty with ripe avocado and tomato, which overpowered the monterey jack cheese. If you like avocado, go for it! The side of mac and cheese was divine with a spicy kick from the monterey jack cheese. Glad I got a side and next time will go for the grilled Mac N' Cheese sandwich! The house-made Oreo cookie was a delicious with Oreo cookies baked into the batter. Skip the cappuccino - it was burnt and too hot to drink. The elderly woman owner is nice and passionate about making the mac and cheese so tasty! The cafe is truly a hidden gem off the main drag on M street and excited to go back for the Grilled Mac N' Cheese sandwich! read more

This was a cute little sandwich spot that we saw walking through the area. We've never heard of the place before but thought it'll be perfect to try with our preteens. The girls loved their grilled cheese sandwiches. I had the tuna melt and it was okay. I wouldn't order the tuna melt if I was to visit again. The service was nice. There was one woman taking the orders and one woman on the grill. The wait wasn't too bad although they looked busy. The restaurant space is quaint and small. There was enough room for our party of 6. The girls sat at the high top bar and us parents sat at a long wooden table. I would visit again if I am in the area and try the grilled cheese sandwich myself. It did look really good. read more

Came here for lunch. Very cute little shop. I ordered a soup and a sandwich. Chicken sandwich #1 was delicious. It came with cheese, chicken, bell peppers, Mayo, onions on sourdough bread. The chicken was diced up. If also came with chips on the side. A little on the salty side. I also ordered the tomato soup. I'm sorry but it was not my cup of tea. It tasted sweet. Too sweet for me. It was nice filling my sandwich in it though. Combination of sweet and salty. Overall, I would come back and try another sandwich. They all sound delicious. read more

This place is a great spot for lunch if you are in Georgetown. It is not as small as you might think from the view from the outside. They have seats in the back of the restaurant and a very nice patio area out in the back yard. They have a very full breakfast and lunch menu. We had the pastrami sandwich, which came on toasted bread , mustard and melted cheese. The pastrami was so lean, no fat at all and grilled just right. While it is a sit down restaurant, you go the counter and order and pay for your food first and then when it is ready it is brought to you. Say cheese will put a smile on your face no matter your appetite. read more

Wonderful service. Ingredients are fresh and everything on the menu is delicious. Cute garden outside where you can see their produce. Such a gem of a place that I am grateful I stumbled upon. Cheers! read more

It's tucked away in a little side street from Downtown. Super quaint, with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was a little slow, but the owner is super friendly. She really makes an effort to talk to people when they come in, so you feel really special. Food is great! I got the roast beef sandwich, and I was a little worried it was going to be hard to get clean bites. That was not the case, and my sandwich was gone in 15 minutes. Tomato soup is awesome. Really great seasoning! The owner is from Jordan, so they have some interesting menu items like za'atar toast. The only critique is that they have wallpaper on the bathroom ceiling. A little weird, but doesn't take away from the food. Will definitely come again if I'm in town! read more

We ordered a Turkey Club and a Tuna Salad sandwich. Good: service was great. We ate outside and the person brought us our food. Bread is tasty. Got extra ice for my drink since it was a hot day. My tuna salad was also tasty. Bad: the Turkey tastes and looks like the discount turkey you'd get at the deli, or worse, prepackaged. The chips we got were a 1oz bag of Utz. For the price point I'd expect a more premium brand. Ugly: The avocado was rock hard and was taken out of the sandwich because it was not edible. The lettuce was very wilted and turning brown. Most of that had to be taken out of the sandwich. I'd expect low quality ingredients from a cheap place, but given the price point.. this place was a miss. I could have complained about the lettuce and avocado, but I would think someone making sandwiches knows when avocado is edible or not, and when lettuce is going bad. I would not recommend this place to my friends. read more

Don't know if you've noticed, but Say Cheese! is a one-woman show! Mrs. Suzy is the highlight of so many of our days! (We work on 30th). If you're looking for a meal that feels like you had time to pack a lunch from your own kitchen, Say Cheese! Is the place for you. Mrs. Suzy also customizes her menu if you want to order lighter options. (Within reason of course!) A few of my favorites: Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Creamy Tomato soup. |Turkey and Apple Butter Grilled Cheese Sandwich | Apple Arugula Salad (She makes the lemon vinaigrette in-house!!) Seasonal Fav: Pumpkin Lentil Soup (SO GOODTT) A few of my colleagues' favorites: Tuna Melt Grilled Cheese, Oatmeal cookie, Brownie, Peanut Butter Shake, Fresh Homemade Lemonade (Better than Beyoncé's Lemonade ). The pickiest kid, friend, adult is guaranteed to find something on this menu that they will return to Say Cheese! for. Mrs. Suzy listens to her customers' countless stories, problems, laughs and woes. She is a gem in Georgetown and we don't deserve her. There are also books and toys for the littlest Say Cheesers.

I'm a bit conflicted with this review as my experience was a bit off due to the timing. I came about an hour before closing but in my defense there were many patrons after me so I think it's normal for their business. I ordered a few sandwiches (regular grilled cheese, a strawberry Brie, tuna). Where we went wrong was the drink order. I attempted to order every drink on the menu but they were out of everything...Tea, juice, lemonade. I successfully ordered 3 teas but after paying, they informed me they were out and offered canned sodas. This is fine, but the sodas were cheaper than what I had paid for so you get where I'm going with this. The strawberry Brie was the star and I wish I had ordered just that as the regular grilled cheese and the tuna were a bit a of a let down. The service is spotty but the location is good, just off the main drag. It's a bit pricey but everything in the area is. Overall, it's a cute spot, but they just need to work on the service and availability. read more

I had been meaning to check out this place the next time I visited, and then the pandemic happened. We finally went shopping in Georgetown again and I dragged my fiancé here. There's a great variety of of foods for vegetarians and meat eaters alike! The smoothies look delicious too! The atmosphere is very inviting and the owner was nice. We enjoyed sitting and eating our sandwiches and soups/chili. I ordered the Sloppy Joe and the chili while my fiancé had the classic combo. Both sandwiches were yummy and the tomato soup was the perfect grilled cheese dipping soup, so creamy and flavorful. The vegetarian chili was delicious too! I think we were pretty happy all around, the food was just what we were looking for. read more

Do not let your first impression take over and give this place a chance; you will be glad you did. The specialty sandwiches come with a bag of chips. The combo platter will allow you to try the delicious soup. We tried the sloppy Joe, apple butter and turkey, and the classic grilled cheese sandwiches. All three options were delicious!

We love this place simply because it's an icon of subtlety and humbleness. This is what many of cafes in US lack. To be about the food and your comfort rather than the creativity in attracting new customers. You'll have to be patient to be served and you'll get what you have asked for, no unwanted extras. Prices are really fair and way below market average and instead of fanciness they fully deliver what you've asked for. So much like what you would experience in Europe. read more

First of all, owner is VERY RUDE, RACIST, homophobic. Me and Partner went to go get some lunch and my partner needed to use the bathroom really bad. The lady who is the owner said it's for customers only. I said I am going to buy something and then she said it's actually Out of Order. When I posted on the google reviews she even lied further. Secondly if you look more closely there is a lot of people saying she charges a $5 service charge for dine In customers. I can't vouch for this but based on her review from google she is one Hungry money hog. Menu is expensive definitely would not recommend $12 sandwich for something that can be made for $4. I know because we sell Grilled cheeses at Montgomery county fair for only $4.75. read more

Beyond slow and the staff has no idea what they are doing. I wish I could take my tip back but you tip and pay when you order and now I know why. My favorite part of the meal was when only two drinks out of four show up and the drinks are for the wrong table. It took another 20 mins to find our ice teas and another 10 after that to find our smoothies. At one point I thought we might have to send out a search party! After all that the sad part is when the food finally came it was only so so. read more

We ordered and paid for one sandwich. After 52 minutes we went to check on our order and we still couldn't get our food. The staff ended up giving our sandwich to someone else. An apology and, ideally, a refund probably would have been appropriate. Instead, the staff ended up yelling at us. read more
