    Better as a take out spot (minimal seating options) but you won't regret an order from here. Baguettes w/ gourmet ingredients named after international cities - Athens & Kingston for the win!

    They have the best sandwiches in D.C. Everything is made with local ingredients, but inspired by cities from around the world. I love the Istanbul, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    I love their food and vibe. Really cool place to have a casual yet decent meal with positive vibe this definitely is your place. You can also enjoy the cafe or yoghourt combos.

    A sandwich shop gem tucked into an alley off of 9th St. in Shaw. Kingston and Istanbul were both out of this world.

    Great atmosphere with natural light. I tried the house salad with grilled chicken and loved it. Also, the cherry cola Sprecher was a special finding!

    Not in the mood for a 'sundevich'? Opt for their equally delicious salads, I recommend the house salad with grilled chicken: baby greens, cucumber, tomato‌, sumac onions and cumin vinaigrette.

    Made to order sandwiches with fresh ingredients. My favorite is the Athens but the Mexico City is a close second. Another good option is the Istanbul. Weekend tip: They're not open on Sundays.

    This place is amazing! Do not miss the Shiraz sandwich. It is super tender; perfection. Also bought the Seoul sandwich but for me it was a bit greasy.

    Best sandwich i have had in the city so far. Fresh ingredients, fresh bread... Wonderful and fast service. Oh so good. Tehran and Istanbul were to die for.

    Sandwich shop offering unique options. Personally I keep it simple: love the Capri; the Istanbul is my backup. Best part: bottles of Sprecher = the best cherry cola in existence.

    Probably one of the best sandwich shops in the city. The breakfast sandwiches are to die for. And the staff is super friendly!

    Feeling adventurous? Get the Shiraz: beef tongue, mustard, and pickled vegetables on a frech, locally-baked demi-baguette.

    Beirut sandwich is delicious--fresh steak, delicious veggies, and perfect seasoning. Arugula salad with chicken was also a hit with us.

    Sandwiches from all over the world--a touch on the pricey side but worth it. Their little store space is quaint.

    Superb sandwiches. Huge variety, perfect seasoning, and delicious bread. Capri and lima are highly recommended

    One of the standouts is the Kingston ($10): jerk chicken, pineapple salsa, spicy slaw, and garlic mayo between a crisp and bready baguette.

    Too many options? Get The Beirut: Steak, hummus, brined veggies, tomatoes and fresh herbs combine for a tangy, earthy flavor you won’t find anywhere else in the city. Read more

    That's a hefty sandwich. The Kingston was pretty good - I wasn't wild about the jerk chicken but I fully intend to try everything on the menu.

    The bread is hollowed out so that everything actually stays inside the sandwich, and doesn't get sloppy. It's such a great idea!

    The Roma is amazing! You can probably split any of the sandwiches, btw.

    don't fuck with a cold sandwich, don't fuck with a salad (seriously, don't, why, stop), just get the Milan.

    I'd recommend the Istanbul. Also the Kingston is very popular, get there before 1 or else they may run out of ingredients for it.
