Whenever I'm in the 24th & M NW area, Uptowner Cafe is a must-stop. My go-to is Classic Tuna, lightly toasted with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and of course, red onion. It consistently hits the spot. This visit, I added the chicken noodle soup. Piping hot, packed with tender chicken, noodles, celery, and carrots in a flavorful broth. Prompt, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere, consistently good food, and another enjoyable visit. I'll definitely be back, again! read more

Extremely poor service with the racist workers of this establishment. Two of us (white guy and myself) waited at "Order Here" for a long time while employees made food in front of us and ignored us. A Hispanic customer who walked up after us was helped right away. At 11:06 AM I tried to order a breakfast sandwich and was told breakfast ended at 11, despite having been there before the cutoff and not being acknowledged. The staff appeared to selectively choose who to serve. Will not be back!! RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL!!! read more

Read some of the reviews and feel like the negative ones don't reflect this place. Stopped in to grab coffee (did NOT want the battery acid Starbucks sells around the corner) and found they had a nice selection of pastries and food as well. Bought a coffee and a muffin and it rang up to like $6!! In DC! Coffee was good and muffin felt like it was made within the last 24 hours unlike some other places. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just felt authentic instead of commercial.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great seating outside too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ordered a Sausage egg cheese on croissant, and Large Black Coffee by phone for pick up. Was ready by my arrival. Sandwich and coffee were decent, nothing to rave over. Since it's nearby work I will be returning for convenience. read more

My family stopped by for sandwiches after a tour at GW. The sandwiches were great. We got two chicken salad sandwiches and a BLT. They were hearty sandwiches! My wife could only eat half of hers. Hit the spot! read more

This is my go-to lunch spot! I've had their BLT, gyro, and steak and cheese sandwiches. These hot sandwiches are my favorites because they pack them with meat. I've also had their tuna and Italian sandwich which were not very impressive. The Italian had bologna on it. The service is always fast, but I recommend calling ahead to place your order to avoid the lunch rush. read more

Wonderful experience! Great ingredients. Great flavor! They love what they do! Great way to start the day. read more

Been here a couple times now and had good experiences. First time was when we got caught in the lunch rush but service was still very quick and efficient. I ordered one of their Turkey based sandwiches which was delicious and filling. They have several options on the menu and allow customizations or dietary accommodations. Recently we stopped here for breakfast and got an egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel. Not much seasoning on the egg which made it pretty bland but it was probably one of the cheapest egg and cheese bagels you'll find in DC. It gives off nice local cafe vibes and it's also partially a convenience store for quick snacks and drinks. If you need a quick meal or looking to support a small business this is the place to go! read more

Hands down the BEST bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich I've had in DC for the past 15 years. It's the bread ( and the butter)

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place felt very cozy and warmth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's the perfect spot if you want to get a nice hot lunch or breakfast and escape from this frosty weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the food was delicious and fresh read more

Had a decent Reuben sandwich today, but got fomo while watching them make some of the other sandwiches. Next visit, I will get one of the turkey breast sandwiches where they pull apart turkey meat vs lunch meat turkey slices. The one that looked like a cheesesteak looked yummy as well. read more

BLT is good . Drinks are available as well ! Have to order ahead because it's no parking

Uptowner Cafe - Entrance on 24th street - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Amazing how difficult it is to find breakfast before 7am in Washington DC. I guess politicians are not early risers! Regardless, found this place on GrubHub. Never ordered delivery via any service before, but seeing as how my hotel only had a muffin and a moldy orange, I didn't have much of a choice. Ordered the veggie omelette. Came with wheat toast and hashbrowns. The omelette was good, but a bit small. Used to 3 egg omelettes in the heart land, but it will suffice. The hashbrown was like McDonald's, fried but not as crispy. The toast was lightly toasted. I also ordered a hazlenut coffee, just for the fun of it. Adequate. Not great, not bad. Surprisingly warm after a 30 minute drive across town. Not sure what that was all about, but I can't hold that against the store. read more

Uptowner Cafe - Carlyle Sandwich Specialty King St Sandwich Specialty - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great little place, cheap, good and fast. While traveling in DC it's tough to find anything closer to reasonable. Week this one does it, two for breakfast with coffee and tip less than$20.00 bucks. Simple but tasty! You order at the counter, get your food and find a seat so service and ambiance really don't apply. However it was very clean. read more

Service is fast and the coffee is good but I probably won't be coming here again for food. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with an everything bagel, egg, sausage, and Swiss cheese. The food was hot but has absolutely no taste other than the cheese. The egg , bagel, and sausage tasted so bland which was disappointing because it looked good! The eggs were made fresh right in front of me but I can't remember if there was any salt or other kind of seasoning added. Will definitely stop in again for coffee, but not any food. read more

Great place to grab a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Bagels are as good as you get in DC.

Very good breakfast sandwich's, nice clean spot for a quick bite to eat. I love that the food is fresh and the staff is helpful.

Cheap and good eats. You MUST get one of the carving sandwiches. The three I've had are all great.

Great place to grab a bite to eat. Food was fresh and made to order while the staff were very friendly and pleasant.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast while in town for a work meeting. Great location. Handy to the Melrose Georgetown Hotel. Staff was helpful and efficient. read more

Friendly "hello" upon walking in, and tasty breakfast sandwiches available till 1pm on the weekend: Exactly what I needed. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich that was delicious. While initially I was bummed that they were out of bagels, it turned out just fine because the croissant was tasty and flaky. The other parts of the sandwich were great, too -- the sausage was tasty, the egg was nice and runny, and the cheese was perfectly melted. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that they stock La Colombe draft lattes in a can (several flavors!), so I had a really nice, quick meal. Service was friendly, and it felt like a real neighborhood spot with cute plates used for "for here" orders. read more

I've been coming here for years. Friendly staff, quality food at a great price. Good breakfast sandwiches and bagels.

Great spot if you're staying at the hotels nearby. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it's a good choice if you're walking distance. Has pretty much every food every item you need. Sandwiches and bagels are solid, nothing spectacular but not disappointing either. Good for a quick and satisfying morning bite. They also have lots of instant/cup noodles, individually packaged cereal, milk, oj, and anything you might want for a short hotel stay. The ladies here are nice and helpful too. read more

Good quick breakfast - maybe not high end restaurant quality but it's close to my hotel and the price is right. I'll definitely go back

Great value and quick. Good breakfast sandwiches. Lamb gyro sandwich was also good, but.... Club M sandwich was probably the worst club sandwich I've ever had. Very very very dry pieces of chunky turkey and the sandwich was overall tasteless. Couldn't get myself to finish it. Planning on giving other menu items a shot, but I will never be getting that sandwich again. read more

Convenience store, breakfast, and lunch. Quick, inexpensive, and efficient. Ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Bagel was good, order was done quickly. They also have muffins, danishes, omelettes, and lunch sandwiches. Three tables indoors and a few outside. Great breakfast option in town without spending too much. read more

These are the nicest people. They have a little of everything you need, with reasonable prices, and are very helpful. The hot dishes (sandwiches, bagels, omelettes, etc.) are quite good and priced very well. Kamala Harris currently lives across the street, so lots of Secret Service there these days, just FYI. Biggest draw - sweet family and employees behind the counter read more

DOES NOT FOLLOW DC ÇOVID-19 RULES. I went there this morning and a customer was leaning over the counter talking to the check out person. The customer was wearing a mask around his chin. I asked the customer to put his mask on and he moved it up so it just covered his mouth, leaving his nose exposed. I requested that he wear it properly and he said "I just finished helping a homeless man so give me a break," which made no sense to me in terms of wearing a mask. Then he told me how he is from Chicago and he runs a homeless shelter there, which again is completely irrelevant to wearing a mask. I just said "MAGA" and he didn't like that very much. The employees in the cafe did not at any point ask this man to put on his mask, which is the current order of the Mayor in the city. When we got outside the customer said to me that he had a better chance of getting struck by lightning than catching Corona. Let's look at that thought: Currently there are 11,099,645 verified infections world wide. And that is verified infections - the number of asymptomatic infected people means we may have somewhere like 10 or 20 times that number who are actually infected. But using that number: Do 11,099,645 people get struck by lightning every few months? No, they do not. So you have a much higher chance of catching this than getting struck by lightning. The current rule in DC is masks are required inside. This place is not interested in enforcing these rules. I would avoid entering this place until we get a vaccine in 2023. If you must order from them consider doing delivery. read more
