Cafe 59

I stopped in here to get a breakfast sandwich on my way to the metro. At 9:30 AM possible I beat the morning rush. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel. The short order wasn't particularly friendly, but that's fine because the sandwich was good. Lol the cashier was pretty efficient. It was a tad bit expensive - close to eight bucks but nevertheless, I enjoyed it . I'd come back again.

Cafe 59 is a hidden gem for work lunches. It has a little bit of everything: a Chinese buffet, a salad bar, a sandwich counter, a quesadilla station, and a bibimbap counter. It also has a large selection of bottled drinks and a small section for candy, granola bars, and the like. It had literally something for each of my coworkers, who normally can't agree on lunch. The food is reasonably priced and better than expected. An entree sized salad from the salad bar, a mini pack of cookies, and a drink were about $15. This is my new go to lunch spot.

Pleasantly surprised by this little hidden gem. I was with a friend whose kids go to daycare nearby and we were looking for somewhere to eat that was close before pickup time. We stopped in to give it a try. The space is huge and there are so many options. They have a hot bar and a salad bar, as well as a grill, baked goods, chips, fountain drinks, and more. I ordered a turkey club from the grill and grabbed a fountain Diet Coke as well. Total, my meal with tax and tip was like $12. Not bad for lunch! They don't do free refills on soda, though, and they use paper straws which was a bummer. I told the lady checking me out that it was my first time stopping by and she was very welcoming. They seem like they work really hard to keep folks fed!

Great area in SWDC available for breakfast and lunch as they open at 5:30am and close around 2:45pm. I got the breakfast burrito with sausage which was hot and also very delicious even though I wish they would have added more sausage. Their breakfast buffet looked so good but was a little steep at about $10.15/lb. One day to spoil myself I'll get it in the morning. My only suggestion for them would be to add iced coffee for drink options even though they provided pretty much everything else!

I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who has celiac disease or where gluten allergies. Normally, I totally avoid Asian food because the danger of getting sick is so high, but the owner is very savvy and made me a special order Bi Bim Bop meal that was delicious and very safe. No side effects!

Stopped here in our way to the museum of the Bible and was amazed!they have a fresh buffet and they also have made to order options. I arrived right before lunch so breakfast was ending. I picked from the left over breakfast buffet and the worker ask me if I wanted her to reheat to food for me. Which she did and then confirmed whether or was good or ifi wanted more time. The lunch buffet had a large variety of options as well. Overall the food and service was great.

This place is just ok. The hamburger combo is not really that good and the sandwiches aren't that big. They do prepare the food relatively fast and the staff is always friendly. But that doesn't mean a whole lot when the food portions are small and the hot/cold buffets are overpriced. They do give you a 30% discount on the hot bar after 2:30pm which doesn't do a whole lot of good b/c who is really eating lunch that late? I agree there is not a whole lot of restaurants to choose from in this area and I still eat here every once in a while. But there are better options out there.

the food was delicious it was so good I wanted 30ths. I won't to live there it is so good I made a friend

such a cute hidden gem with something for everyone! i grabbed some chinese food from the hot bar which was delicious, and my friend got a BLT and a hot breakfast wrap (rated 4/5). lovely spot if you wanna grab some quick food with a lot of variety.

one of the cutest cafes in d.c. extremely kind staff and a very nice environment. i cannot emphasize enough how hard working and kind the staff are. The gyro was delicious and the price is worth it. i definitely recommend this to anyone in the area and in d.c as a whole!
