AHRA Cafe & Sandwich Bar

AHRA is a small cafe located in a slightly confusing location. AHRA is inside of what appears to be a normal business building, with no signage on the outside; however, when if you can locate the building you can't miss AHRA once you walk in. The restaurant has limited seating, but there is additional seating in the public areas of the building.Ordering and checkout is quick and easy, you can be in and out in 2 minutes so long as you don't order a specialty sandwich. Most sandwiches automatically come with lettuce, tomato, and mayo so if you don't want those you have to specifically ask for that. The sandwiches are $8 and are an adequate meal.I got a brisket sandwich with the aforementioned lettuce, tomato, and mayo, as well as honey mustard. I was a bit skeptical of ordering brisket, seeing as the rest of their menu didn't have BBQ on it, but my skepticism quickly faded as I tried my sandwich. The brisket is very tender, and pulled apart easily aside from one fatty portion at the end of my sandwich. The brisket was a little dry and could have used some more sauce, but I couldn't find a list of their sauces anywhere. If they had a sweet BBQ sauce, that would perfectly compliment the brisket.I would recommend AHRA to anyone looking for a local, quick place to grab their lunch and go. I will definitely be returning!

I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich with everything. It was presented on a nicely toasted sub roll with lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions and green peppers! The provolone cheese was melted and the entire sandwich was very well balanced with just the right amount of mayonnaise.The order took only minutes to fill and the staff was very nice and patient with me during my first visit. Service was awesome. There are tables to sit and enjoy the view of the lobby so I'll be sure to do that on my next visit. A good value for a great sandwich.

Food's okay, not gourmet, but decent. What is cool is their speed and efficiency. Went in there when it was friggin' packed out to the door. Got to order within a couple minutes, was handed a little tag with price and claim #. Paid for it in about two more minutes and literally turned back around from the cashier to the prep counter and they were handing my food to me. Beat the ever living * out of all the food trucks, Chipotle, and other fast-casual spots in the area - some of which were stating "45 minute wait" on their little QR-Code menus. Like I got 45 minutes to wait for lunch grub. Honey, I'll wait forty-five minutes for a porterhouse or a filet mignon, maybe for a lobster thermidor. But I ain't waiting that long for a ham sammy. Got it, chief? Definitely will be back here next time I'm in downtown Rosslyn.

Absolutely LOVE this place! I used to go here everyday for breakfast or lunch when I went into the office. The sandwiches are always fresh and hot as they are made to order, and the customer service is great. They are always kind and willing to provide you with the best service and meal. I appreciate businesses like this because they are always consistent!

Great food. I had breakfast and the service was friendly, good amount for the price, tasted good, and good walk-in location. No real parking but you are in DC, parking is terrible for everyone. Now, the Chia Tea tasted like a powder mix but oh well, the breakfast food made up for it. Note, there is a Compass Coffee right down across the street around the corner. So get a coffee, come get some food, and then chill at the tables and chair in the grill and relax.

How can you beat a freshly prepared egg, cheese and choice of meat sandwich on toasted bagel or bread for under $4?! This small establishment is located inside of 1100 building. We arrived towards the end of rush hour. A quick order and under 10 minute wait, and viola!!! Two very fresh, hot delicious sandwiches for under $10.Completely understand the repeat customers as their morning stop for breakfast. Highly recommend!!!

Bottom Line: Friendly, fast and tasty sandwiches located inside the 1100 Wilson Blvd mixed use building. When in Rosslyn AHRA Cafe is my go-to spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. The employees are really friendly and efficient which means I can get my tasty sandwich quickly and be on my way. They serve breakfast and lunch and cold and hot sandwiches. The also have soups, salads, chips, Coca-Cola fountain sodas, coffee and tea. There are a handful of high-top tables located inside but most people seem to get their meal to go. AHRA Cafe is located just inside the main entrance of the 1100 Wilson Blvd. building making it a convenient stop.

One of the BEST sandwich places I have ever been to in my life. I've had both their breakfast and lunch sandwiches and they are amazing. I normally get the bacon and egg sandwich on sourdough and it's so much sandwich that I am normally super full. Also, they serve iced coffee with coffee ice cubes! It's amazing!My favorite lunch sandwich to get is the turkey club with pepper jack cheese! The turkey is freshly craved in store and very moist. The sandwiches are always fully loaded with meat. Also, they are very well priced. I never feel like I am over paying for a great sandwich. Please check them out!

Delicious & quick breakfast! I had the egg & bacon sandwich. It was so fresh & yummy!

Favorite spot for office days!! Great walking location for those working in Rosslyn. The coffee never disappoints, they add coffee ice cubes to the iced coffee; I always look forward to it! Sandwiches and salads are reasonably priced and very fresh. Good service too. 10/10 so happy this cafe is around!
