Devon & Blakely

I love this spot! I don’t like to eat a big lunch and I love that this place let’s you order half a sandwich for half the price!
The chicken salad sandwich is my favorite! Recommend for sure!
My boyfriend loves the salads too!

Compared to other places in the area, this place is overpriced for really nothing special (and I’m not really worried about how much I spend on food once it justifies the price).
I’ve been here a few times and the sandwiches are decent, not great. The soups are a bit better than average, but very expensive… so I opt for hale and hearty which is much closer to my office and just a satisfying.
I appreciate the quirky gourmet items like specialty popcorn with odd flavors, but again the bags are pretty small and over $ 3. Why?
This is a pretty standard lunch spot trying to be something special through pricing, but not realizing that quality should follow.
I’m not really a fan of the spot though it’s somewhat nice inside… though not really a place to sit and have lunch if you like tables instead of counters against windows.
The staff here acts like they can’t really be bothered with the customers, their hesitation in reading something before buying (yes, they have a pretty big selection) and it just feels crowded and unwelcoming.
I haven’t gone back in a while and I don’t see any plans to do so in the near future.

I tried to go to this place for lunch today only to find that it does not exist? I am nto sure if the restaurant closed or not but if it did they should take the location off their website so that people don’t waste their time trying to find it.

In this small wasteland of gloomy office buildings, good value food options are scarce if the food trucks and halal carts are not out in full force. However, if there is one option that offers a good quality of choices in terms of the big three S’ (sandwich, soups, and salads), D&B does a solid job of it. Don’t buy that? Please find me another café/​deli similar to a Café Metro, Pret a Manger, Europa Café, etc. that has offerings including Channa Masala and fried brussel sprouts. No? I thought so.

I was cold. It’s late March, 31 degrees out and all my heart desired after my morning run was a hot cup of coffee to help the Sandman get out of my head so I could have a nice day at work.
Across the street from me I saw a rather stately looking store. Wood panels everywhere, nice lighting and the «Devon & Blakely» name quite frankly sounds like an old school establishment… or a law firm. Your choice.
Anyhow, I went in and I was one of two customers in the place. I was reading the menu and noted, with some trepidation that all the prices had black duct tape over them. Classy. The gentleman behind the counter whom I shall refer to as Mr. Grumpy asked me in a very terse, Soup Nazi sort of way «What do you want?» and I said (with a smile) that I was seeing what the menu had to offer and he grimmaced impressively and walked away.
A younger gent came over and took my order, a french roast coffee with skim milk. I noted with some curiosity that there were no cup holders, I asked the cashier and they had none. Oddly, all the sugar packets and napkins are right next to the cashier, so if you try to get stuff there, odds are you’ll get in the way of the person behind you. Good thinking!
So I mixed up the coffee, headed out, took a sip and… wanted to spit it out. This was, without a doubt, the most watery, dull and disappointing coffee I have drank in ages. I took a few more sips, in the vain hope that somehow it would taste better, to no avail. Finally I gave up and tossed it in the garbage.
Let’s put it this way. I work in an office where we have Flavia machines that create cups of coffee from preprepared packets that you insert into a machine and it makes the cup. That coffee tastes 10x better than what I bought. If that isn’t an indictment, I don’t know what is!
To be fair, I can’t speak for the food (which could be good) but I know where I *won’t* be going back for coffee. Blech.

I used to come here all the time for lunch since I work in the area. It was one of the only places that I could make my own sandwich and as a vegetarian, I’m always looking for places to get good veggie sandwiches.
I order the same sandwich every time and the price would vary within .50 or so. One day, I went there and the price was over $ 2 over what I usually paid for the sandwich. When I asked the person who made my sandwich about this, I was given an attitude and told that was the price. When I went to go pay, I asked the cashier why the price was so much higher than what I usually pay. She told me that’s what it costs and when I tried to explain that I get the same thing every day and the price is never this high, the other cashier pipes in and says that the price is what it is. I wanted to walk out but decided to suck it up and pay. The cashiers proceeded to speak to each other in a different language and roll their eyes and laugh. Maybe it wasn’t mean for me but I’m guessing it was.
I won’t be coming back here after the way the staff treats their customers. I’ll go spend my money somewhere else.

I came here for the seamless web free coffee promo. In the morning, i got a small free 10 oz coffee with skim milk and a toasted everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. They filled the coffee with too much milk so the ratio was off. The coffee didn’t taste that good because it was too milky. The $ 1.75 bagel with scallion cream cheese was pretty good. It was toasted nicely and it had a decent amount of scallions. The bagel wasnt too thick nor too thin.
For lunch, i went back for a 2^nd cup of coffee. 1^st of all, they gave me whole milk instead of skim milk… FAIL…and again they overdid it with the milk. I also decided to get a ½ sandwich and cup of soup. I opted to get a small cup of manhattan clam chowder ($ 5.50). Dang that’s expensive soup. The soup is really good though. It has a good amount of clams, the broth is nice and tomatoey, not thick but not too thin. It has just the right amount of sweetness and heartiness. The amount of veggies is good too. Everything tastes fresh. I also got a ½ veggie sandwich ($ 3.95). It contains avocado, tomato, cheese, cucumber, and alfalfa sprouts. The sandwich is fresh and healthy tasting.
Overall, the food isn’t bad, but it is pricey and they can’t seem to pour out a good cup of coffee.

Someday, they will get my order right and it will take less than 15 minutes.
But that would require returning.
I had never known how hard it was to order a green tea with honey, until i came here. Green tea is not black tea. It is also not chamomile.
Also, while they list a lot of tea flavors, they always only seem to have non-​specific mint, green, black, and a fruit. There is nothing inherently wrong with such a selection, just don’t tell me you have a dozen flavors when you don’t.
My female coworkers and I have additionally become paifully aware that if we want our orders done right, we have to send male coworker.
