Breakfast stop was below average. Individual bagels wrapped in cellophane, basic and not very flavorful. There did have black and white cookies and a deli feel. The lox was overly salty and I have to admit that the color and look wasn't very appetizing.

There's nothing more unassuming then St. Elmo Deli. St. Elmo deli is like the color Antique White sitting next to the color Natural Linen on the color swatch. St. Elmo Deli is like Waldo on that page where every other character is wearing a red and white striped sweater and hat. St. Elmo Deli is like lying down a bed, and you're like... "oh what is this a Tempurpedic?" and then the owner replies, "oh no... it's just a memory foam mattress." Ok... so St. Elmo Deli is at the bottom of that large building on Saint Elmo that essentially takes up like a city block. Across from Bach to Rock, Henry's Sweet Retreat, Dominos etc. Like the other stores at the bottom of the building, there is a vertical brown/purple decorative banner that marks the store. Go in... and you'll see the menu is almost entirely made up of a sandwich choices. I decided to get the Turkey, Swiss, and Spouts Sandwich on multigrain. I can't remember... but it had a name. It was like "The St. Elmo Special" or something. Really the main reason I got it was the sprouts. I LOVE ME SOME SPROUTS. I got home to find that there was a little quarter of pickle that was wrapped up and attached my sandwich. Extra cute points. The sandwich itself was next to perfect. It was everything I wanted in a turkey sandwich. Good bread, good amount of turkey, fresh tomato and lettuce. They didn't overdo it with the mayo, and deli meat and cheese were good quality. Next time I'm gonna ask them to toast the bread I'm telling you, it was one dank sandwich; and as it's one of those small little office building delis, the prices were on point. I got that sandwich and a bag of pretzels with everything bagel seasoning on it for 8.65. I wish they had a few more options for sides. They had pasta salad in the little drink/accessory fridge, but it didn't look to fantastic. They had bags of chips and muffins/danishes... but that's about it. Some coleslaw/ potato salad/ egg salad etc would be nice. You'll definitely see me back at St. Elmo Deli soon. Until they put a Jersey Mikes in Bethesda... ( dang I love me some Jersey Mikes), this is a solid cheap lunch option.

Doesn't look like many people are talking about their breakfast sandwiches but...they are absolutely DELICIOUS! And for the price in this area??!My boyfriend raves about their croissant sandwiches, but my favorite is the fresh mozzarella, tomato, sausage, egg, and pesto English muffin sandwich. It's a mouthful to say when ordering but yalllll it's a mouthful of flavor! Actually, it's the only thing I've tried and I can never muster up the courage to try something new because I love it so much ha. The first visits were during the COVID lockdown, and when we went in today, the lady (not sure but she might be the owner?) recognized us and we started talking about our families. I love supporting small businesses, but even more so when they seem to genuinely care about their customers. :)

This spot was my in and out during COVID. I usually order the Avocado and Cheese Sandwich and Greek Chicken Salad. Took my wife today and she loved it as well. I'll for sure be coming back.

Located in the Landow building along St Elmo Ave. $6.00 minimum to pay with plastic. I got shortchanged by a penny. Out of practicality I don't mind but my principle on the matter is that you might as well round to the nearest 5 if that's how you're gonna roll.Light variety of beverage options (coconut water, aloe, energy drinks, juices, coffee, tea, soda), three flavors of Chobani singles, solid array of chips to choose from (yay Popchips). Menu says breakfast starts at 7 but the hours on the door now say 7:30. Asian owner is friendlier to regulars; not docking on service since everyone's a zombie in mornings unless you're a freak of nature. Short order cook may catch an error, gracias-- or burn your bagel.Prices are reasonably suburban for modest portioning. Foil wrapper a little greasy from the hand-off, but nothing outrageous. Flour tortilla griddled gently, just enough salsa for taste without sogginess. Sausage wasn't too greasy, eggs scrambled creamy. I wish the cheese was distributed more evenly. Two-thirds of it was more than enough for my breakfast appetite. Country edition almost as good with the hearty inclusion of potatoes. Not bad, SED is reigning as the local breakfast burrito champion for value ($3.59) and execution. I'll have to try their smoothies.===========Egg & cheese sandwich with steak used chopped Philly-style beef. I should've stuck to traditional breakfast meats. Nova platter is decent, though the capers need to be drained a little better.Grilled salmon & avocado salad was a disappointment. Wild Alaskan salmon was cooked dry, though half a fresh avocado was wedged between the two small fillets and the thick bed of mixed greens. Shaved carrot, thinly sliced red onion, and capers barely broke up the monotony. Two accompanying tubs of balsamic vinaigrette were necessary to dress the generous salad fixings.Prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich had its namesakes loaded towards the mouth of the sandwich. For food volume they beat out the local Euro eateries, but that edge is lost in terms of quality. Lettuce, coarsely sliced red onion, hot peppers, and canned black olives make the crusty sandwich roll moist. The olives in particular tasted out of place, and overwhelmed the delicate flavors that should be dominant.NY style corned beef sandwich is surprisingly delicious, even if its accompanying pickle wedge was only passable. Protein is perfectly sliced and cooked, and the nicely toasted rye broke my resolve to save half for dinner. Uptown definitely wins on volume but SED offers a reasonable meal portion for a dollar less, with the admirable default of toasting.Seaweed, fruit snacks, aloe water, Naked juice, Red Bull. Salmon spread bagel has some fish layered onto the cream cheese, and while toasted well, my sesame bagel was on the smaller side. Turkey stuffing sandwich special is a shadow of Jetties' Nobadeer, with three generous slices of deli turkey, a moist stuffing patty with flecks of celery, generous layer of cranberry sauce, and a drizzle of chunky country gravy on toasted multigrain.Route 21 kettle chip flavors include dill pickle. Eggplant and portobello panini was nicely toasted, including spring greens, grilled shallots and red peppers. I might've liked it if not for the grainy hummus. Tried another salad only to find that while the turkey is moist and tasty, their pesto is diluted with ranch and my avocado had been forgotten.They occasionally receive a batch of small bagels. You're more likely to get a better salmon spread bagel if they're busy multitasking, otherwise the fish cooks all the way through when applied immediately to just-toasted bagel.

Pleasantly surprised to have walked by this place. I am a big deli fan so I could not resist to have lunch here. Of course I 'yelped' to see any recommendations. To my surprise, I had a hard time finding it even searching on the map. Only by typing the name did I find it (maybe that explains the low number of reviews and how old they are). Line was long but moved along fairly quickly (12.30pm). I ordered the Santa Fe chicken since they had no pita for a gyro. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised! Good size sandwich, soft, moist chicken, very tasty, slight heat, melted pepper jack cheese. Bread was warm, absorbed the juice/cheese on the inside yet toasty and crunchy on the outside.
