N Street Cafe

cute location on N & 22^nd stopped by and tried a turkey sandwich they have lots of lunch options as well as coffee drinks. Staff was super friendly and offered recommendations on lunch options. Will be back. Only downfall was it was a little hot in there.

Don’t be alarmed when you walk up and there are the same 3 regulars. Just walk in and order your drink. What makes them better than others. Is their breakfast and even regular sandwiches. Can’t beat the price and ramsy (I believe they call him) as well as the rest of the staff is so polite and friendly.
Today I decided to write this review after having the turkey bacon sandwich. It was heavenly and had to share.

I have been coming to this place for years. I love the place for the food, the service, and the friendly atmosphere. I strongly recommend N Street Café.

I love this little place, they have good food and great service! It’s just a small coffee/​sandwich spot, so if you’re looking for something quick, easy, fairly cheap, and tasty… come here! I always get there lunch combo, half of a sandwich with a side and tea!

Are you serious?! Best falafel wrap in town?!! What are Unilocalers smoking?! Those raving about these falafels, obviously, have never had a good falafel! (Or don’t even know what one is). Absolutely, hands down, THE WORST falafel I have ever had! And I’ve had quite a few! Falafels are supposed to have 3 – 4 giant, meatball looking, deep-​fried, mashed, garbanzo bean balls! The outside of the ball is supposed to have a beautiful crunch and the inside is supposed to be tender and flavorful! Not so here. They were just a pile of mush, imagine ground beef in a taco. The gentleman who makes them showed me the container where he stores them after cooking, but I didn’t have my glasses on, so I thought he was talking about the sauces. Anyway, I got ripped off! I should’ve sent it back, but I was so fricken’ hungry, I ate ½ of it and got rid of the rest. Sure, the staff was nice enough, but the girl at the the cash register was wearing a tank top! Which is unacceptable in a place of business, let alone a restaurant business! I mean, we’re not even allowed to wear tank tops at my job, and I work at Home Depot! It’s gross! No one wants to see that! I don’t even think her pits were shaved! Anyway, everything is way over-​priced as well. I’ve had their breakfast burritos before and it was decent, but still not worth the price! Adiós N st. Café!

OMG SO GOOD! I always saw this place and under-​estimated it.
(This place looks grubby from the outside due to the transients and mediocre stop-​n-​shop look.) But you shouldn’t judge it like I did! As soon as I entered, I said «WHY HAVE I WAITED SO LONG TO COME HERE!» There is such cute and quirky décor.
It’s super cute, and there are so many food items you can order. Everything is made to order.
There are breakfast and lunch sandwiches, chips & more.
I had a breakfast pizza bagel sandwich and the SO got the muffin sammie. They were so good!
I can’t wait to return for their falafel.
(ALSO IT’S SO CHEAP).

I just moved to the neighborhood, and this is definitely going to be one of my new «hang-​outs.» So far I have had coffee drinks twice and falafel twice. All I can say is, soooo good! This place definitely fills my hankering for some falafel when I miss the food in Dubai. I order mind spicy, and yesterday when I called in the order first, the owner added some special spicier sauce for me to try, YUMM! Will be back!

My favorite spot to go for my lunch break. The lunch special has a good number of options and I am almost always able to satisfy whatever craving I have with the variety of combinations available.
I feel welcome, always, and my lunch is always prepared with care. The food is tasty. The staff are phenomenal.

Friendly staff. Great lunch specials. Love their soup and sandwiches. My girlfriend comes here regularly for her lunch break when working and I can see why.

Support small businesses. N Street Café makes a mean White Mocha and the staff is always welcoming. Love the breakfast bagels!

The N street Café is great. They provide good service to all. Good coffee, great juice/​drinks, the list goes on. I reccomend this place mainly to the café type people, but it is a nice place to be and hang out. But they are kind of meaty.

Convenient spot for a quick and tasty lunch. The employees were friendly and helpful. I thought the food was good but the portions were on the small side. Both my boyfriend and I were still a little hungry afterwards. We had the kabob lunch special and half falafel sandwich with pasta salad.

Love this place! From breakfast to lunch love love love it! The Staff are wonderful as well. So if you’re ever downtown try it I guarantee you’ll leave smiling!

There’s a lot of lunch options in this part of town and I’m not giving N Street Café 5 stars because the food will blow your mind, but rather for doing perfectly what it tries to do.
It’s a small inexpensive café great for grabbing a quick breakfast, sandwich, cup of coffee, and has some mediterranean food options too. The portions are fair and quality is nothing you’ll complain about. The service is polite, though seating is limited… however, most people are getting food on the go or taking a short break, so you’ll typically not have trouble finding a place to sit down.
I’ve eaten at much fancier places in the area, but I keep coming back here for their consistent quality and affordability.

Midtown would not be the same without this place or the lovely ladies that work there. Best breakfast sandwiches EVER! Get em with the breakfast muffin and don’t forget their house made sriracha.

First time here on a Tuesday morning around 6:45 a.m. Parking was a little harder to find than I was expecting because it’s located in the midst of a residential neighborhood.
I was planning on getting coffee and breakfast here, but then I learned they only sell 16oz and 20oz size cups. As I’ve said in other reviews, I don’t trust any place that doesn’t stock a cup that is 12ozs or less. So I passed on the coffee for that reason alone.
For breakfast, I got the breakfast bowl with eggs, cheddar, and veggies (no onions) in a bowl for $ 3.95. While the breakfast bowl was nothing that I would call gourmet, it tasted pretty good for the price.
The atmosphere is rather generic and while others seem to like the coffee bags that are on the ceiling, I thought the ceiling was too low to have those kind of heavy decorations. The coffee bags made the space feel even smaller unfortunately.
I could see how people in the neighborhood might enjoy rolling out of bed to come here, but it’s not a place I would say is worth seeking out if you live farther away.

This place has so much character! Seems like it has lots of business in the mornings; everyone pops in for some coffee!
The cashier was very sweet and even recommended a sandwich.
I ordered a falafel wrap and salami sandwich. Mmmm! The falafel was warm and tasted delicious! The salami sandwich was decent and pretty standard.
The décor is very hipster and casual complete with coffee bags hanging from the ceiling. The ceilings are covered in coffee bags. What an innovative and good reusable idea! It really adds to the ambiance. This place has Wi-​Fi and plenty of patrons that use it. Probably around seven tables in this place, but didn’t seem crowded even with a few clientel in the building.
I definitely would recommend this place for breakfast, especially if you just want to grab a quick meal to-​go.

today i was on the road and was wondering what i want for lunch in the downtown area and i couldn’t decide and went on Unilocal and clicked nearby and this pop up and i look at it quickly and decide to come here and give it a try. i am glad i did and i had a great experience. when i walked in i was looking at the menu and the lunch special menu as well and all the different tea and coffee and drinks they had. the lady that helped me was nice and friendly and helped me out with how to order.
i spotted the kabob plate for like 8 bucks which was very appealing and i wanted to try it. but then after i saw the lunch menu board i tried that instead. i got the falafel pita bread sandwich with all the produce inside and a pasta salad and a small ice tea.
the falafel sandwich was awesome the bread was warm and the inside was good too. the falafel wasn’t hard and it was towards the moist side but it did get a bit dry on some bites. there was plenty inside the sandwich and they had plenty or produce as well. they were light on the mayo so that was a plus and they had spicy hummus inside and it wasn’t spicy but u can definitely taste the hummus inside each bite.
the pasta salad was very moist and had a lot of italian dressing in it, each bite was flavorful and great and they had some green peas mixed in with it and red onions and some olives as well but very light on them toppings. mostly tri color pasta so it was colorful and appealing presentation.
the price for the order was good. it was 7.55 i believe and i thought it was very reasonable and the amount of food you get is great and is worth it and its a light lunch which doesn’t make u uncomfortable or too full and get sleepy. the wait was fast maybe around 5 mins so that was a plus. i am a fan and will be back.

If I rated this solely on food and drink, I would give N St. Café at least two more stars… Everything I’ve ordered, I’ve loved, and all at decent prices!
Customer service can be hit or miss, but I’ve usually had good experiences…
The only downfall, and it’s a major one, is the amount of soliciting that goes on in front of and inside the café… The last few times I visited, I was harassed for my name/​number/​and money by people sitting in front of building. I even had a man eating inside YELL at me to pay for his meal! It freaked me out so bad that I haven’t returned since, I now walk 6 more blocks to Old Soul…
I think it’s great that there’s no judgement and anyone is welcome to lounge there, but when non paying guests are harassing paying customers something needs to be said!

I dont understand why I haven’t written a review for N st Café yet.
N st Café was my go-​to spot when I was unemployed.
They have very reasonable prices on Sandwiches, Breakfast Items, Coffee, teas etc.
.. a great spot to kill time.
Now I come here on the weekends when we walk our doggies around our neighborhood after we wake up.
There are often other doggies here for puppy socialization.
Customer Service is quick casual and polite,
I haven’t tried everything on their menu but what i have tried has been delicious and just the right size for me.
I love N street café, its very comfy and casual.

Yo siempre vengo a comprar un café con hielo, desayuno, o un pan con crema. El servicio es excelente. Gente amable y muy bien ubicado. ¡Gracias!
