Nice small cafe with very friendly personal and tasty fresh food. We stopped here for breakfast and loved their bagels and toasts. I would highly recommend them!

Honestly one of the best bacon and egg sandwiches I've gotten in the DMV.

They have great customer service and their food is so tasty! Also their lunch menu is really convenient and affordable. I am obsessed with their chai, it’s so comforting and fragrant! It was difficult to find their menu online so here is a pic of the paper one I picked up.

The food is very fresh, cooked to order, therefore customizable. Friendly neighborhood vibe, super casual, with quick and friendly service. 💕

A small locally owned cafe and deli. Super friendly service, and pretty good espresso drinks. If you’re looking for a quick lunch or breakfast that doesn’t break the bank this is your place!

Cafe X-press recently reopened under new management earlier in November (2021). The employees here are so friendly and nice! The bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel is delicious! I’ve already ordered it twice in the few weeks they’ve been open. I’ve also had a latte, which was honestly better than the Dunkin’ Donuts down the street. The service here is quick, so it’s a great place to stop by before heading to work. They also have a large lunch menu and self-serve bottled drinks and snacks to go. I’m excited to go back for lunch to try the bulgogi bowl!

What I love most about Cafe Xpress - besides the owners/staff - is how consistent they are. The food is always good - and fresh. The place is always clean, and the staff is ALWAYS friendly. This is my favorite place in the area for lunch!

Ordered a chef salad, but substituted the turkey and ham for chicken and bacon. Chicken was seasoned well and tender; the bacon crispy and crunchy. Food was really fresh and delicious. Definitely making this my lunch spot when I'm in downtown Bethesda.

This little cafe is nestled in one of the side streets of Bethesda, and it is an absolute gem. I absolutely LOVE their breakfast. It’s fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. Food comes out quick for delivery drivers too. If you need to grab a quick bite, I highly recommend you stop by here!:)

Got the California Chicken Salad Sub and added pineapple, and let me tell ya, wow! Incredible Chicken Salad (my daughter doesn't like chicken salad of any kind except this one). We also got the fried dumplings and mozzarella sticks. Super good and service was excellent. Will be back!

I love this little place. great food and great prices. i always get a turkey sandwich and it tastes delicious every time. the lady who works here is so sweet and adorable too. definitely would recommend! Updating this review as of 10/23/2024 (previously written 4 years ago) -- I still absolutely LOVE this place!!! However I wish there was an option to "create your own sandwich" on the online ordering website. :) :)

Best brunch cafe in Bethesda! Really love their Omelettes.

I ordered a bulgogi sub. It was so good. So good that I immediately advised my coworkers to order from here for lunch, TODAY. I requested some add ons which they added. It was very flavorful. I also ordered French fries which were also delicious. They included what I think was mumbo sauce. A little sweet and spicy. Overall delicious.

One of the breakfast spots I visit in Bethesda stones throw away from My shop... clean location ran by a young couple... good customer service... intimate cafe seating... I request that my potatoes are CRIPSY 😃

Low prices for a Bethesda business. The young Asian lady who takes my order is kind, professional, and always has a smile on her face The food is cooked the way I ask, and any questions I have are promptly answered. The pancakes, egg, and meat platter are on point. Along with the honey / ginger hot tea. Good place to go, and I don't eat out often

Nice place - walking in felt like it was a mom and pop shop from the old days especially with the bell on the door. Stopped by for a chocolate milk and the folks were really nice so I decided to get more stuff. The mocha coffee was really good, got a ham and cheese sandwich which was quite mid. It wasn't bad or anything but it was like free school lunch tier and for 12 bucks I just can't justify upvoting it. To be fair it was for a kid but neither of us finished it. When I left I snuck a peak at this lady's burger to see if my sandwich was just mid cause I requested something simple and tbh from a distance her burger looked mid too 🤷🏻 I'm around here all the time so I'll come back again and try something else - let me reiterate - the people are super friendly and the shop has a nice neighborhood vibe so I do recommend it overall. Noticed the lady immediately went to clean the table after I left 👍👍👍👍

My family and I recently moved to the neighborhood and decided to check out this café. I ordered a simple cappuccino with almond milk, but it ended up being really watery. When I went back to the counter to ask for it to be fixed or to order another one, the employee responded with an attitude and even tried to charge me for a replacement. I’m disappointed with the customer service and the quality of the coffee. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend getting your coffee here.
