Oxford Cafe

While working in the office one day I decided to try a neighboring breakfast/lunch spot. Based on my quick time waiting and easy order, I definitely see myself stopping by again for lunch. My sandwich was simplicity at its finest and I had no complaints. The customer service isn't the best, but there was only two people working so I'd cut them some slack. This shop gives me hope again for good $10 lunches!

Came in for lunch today. I had a Reuben sandwich, which was very good. Fresh and not overloaded with sauce. The sandwich plus a bottled lemonade and tip ended up at $13, which is pretty good for downtown DC. Inside is cozy and was not very busy at 1pm on Thursday. I will definitely come back for lunch in the future to try other sandwiches and bagels.

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat on our road trip down the coast. While the sandwiches are a little small, they are very flavorful and a nice bite to grab quickly and go! The New Yorker sandwich was perfectly panini'd with pastrami, melted cheese, and coleslaw. The sweetness of the coleslaw really brought out the cheesiness and gooeyness of the cheese. The veggie sandwich was fresh and delicious. The couple running the cafe were very sweet and even gave us a chocolate crepe for the road. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick bite to eat in this neighborhood of DC!

It's not much but it's great, I get a sandwich here for lunch during the work day and it's a good value, good quality, super fast service, and sometimes I get a little fun sized candy in the bag with my lunch. This is a great spot for a fast weekday bite!

Oxford Cafe is a great stop for lunch! I work in the building across the street and wandered in one day, looking to try something new. I was a little overwhelmed at first, with how many options there are on the board - dozens of sandwiches, paninis, wraps, and salads to choose from. But each item has a detailed description of what it contains and there is not a lot of overlap, so each sandwich is distinct. The food is all made to order, so it is fresh, and it is QUICK. I am in and out in under 5 minutes every time. And in addition to the great food, the couple who owns it are unbelievably kind!

I honestly wish more people knew about Oxford Cafe - this place is literally right under my office building, tucked away in between M street and Connecticut Avenue and has been a go to for every single person in our office simply because of the quality of food you receive for the price as well as the reliable and affable service. For breakfast, My go to is their egg sandwich on an everything bagel. It's always nice to have something warm and soft in the morning and their bagels are always so warm/fresh right after they make this sandwich for you - and the best part is that it's only $1.99! I seriously can't justify going anywhere else for breakfast simply because you can't beat the quality for the price anywhere else. I'm also in love with their different smoothie options and they are all made with fresh fruit and Greek yogurt making it a great substitute for breakfast as well. As for lunch, they have a variety of sandwich, wrap, and salad options for a very affordable price (ranging from $4 to $8). I suggest trying out their bibimbap wrap for something a little different and their chicken salad is always a safe option and one of my go to meals if I need a quick bite to eat during lunch. The two ladies who work the cash register are so sweet and welcome you with a smile every time you walk in to order - even at 7 in the morning (like really - no one should be that happy to be at work that early). Really makes my day just seeing them work so hard to keep this place running. I'm all for supporting local businesses and praise the wonderful staff here for bringing some high quality, home cooked breakfast and lunch items to DC for a very affordable price.

If you don't have time for a sit down but don't want to compromise food quality, I strongly suggest you come here! I've only been able to go for breakfast so far. The sausage and egg croissant breakfast sandwich is piping hot and delicious. Their egg, sausage, spinach, and pepper Jack cheese tomato tortilla wrap is pure comfort and down right tasty. The coffee is strong, and the service is friendly, professional, and efficient. The food here is solid, the place is kept extremely clean, and the service (and their sandwiches) is consistent. This place is definitely a local treasure spot. Also, how many businesses in D.C. still bother to learn your name and greet you when you come in? James and his wife are the sweetest!

Great food and a couple that runs this cafe. They deliver quickly and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend this store.

Great Mom and Pop sandwich shop in downtown DC. Very good sandwiches that were served up quickly. Also offered lots of fresh fruit options and f sh baked goods.

The couple that owns this place are special people. When I was working in D.C., I used to eat lunch there as often as I could. James made a point to learn my name and used it as often as he could, which I really appreciated. He would also ask me about my hometown and always had a smile on his face when I walked in and out. His wife is very sweet and makes great sandwiches, salads and bagels. And she prepares everything so neatly. The quality and great taste of the food was always something I could count on.Since I've left D.C., going to the Oxford Cafe every week is something I already miss. It'll be one of the first places I go the next time I visit!
