Cafe X-press

Nice people, great prices and good food. Lots of snack and beverage options here too.

I was here for only one as I was really hungry from not eating any lunch and waiting for my lawyer appointment next to this place. I remember eating a Washingtonian Panini (I think that’s what it was called) and it so sooo delicious that I ordered another one to go. The staff is really friendly and while I was sitting down waiting for my food, the employee brought my food to my table. This is as good as customer service gets. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by!

This place can make good sandwiches, but not coffee drinks. I bought a latte this Tuesday.
They used hazelnut flavored coffee which I did not ask for. I found it out when I was out of café. Now the worst part. This drink made me sick to my stomach. Either the water they use is dirty or the coffee is poor quality. Bottom line is buy coffee drinks somewhere else.
Another issue I observed is the person who makes sandwiches did not have gloves on.

Small wait time. All made to order. Nice snack and drink selections. Everyone knows Eric by name. Service is good. They bring your food around the counter to you. You can eat here although I haven’t. Food is good. Turkey burger could be better. I favor the Rock Creek and the Eggplant Parm.

I love the food and the family that runs the café are nice. I work I the building and go there nearly everyday.

The management running this location does a fantastic job of making sure their customers are satisfied. The food is fresh, affordable, and delicious. If you are in the area definitely stop by and try it for yourself.

I’m a sucker for local places. Great prices and local vibe.
Beware: five dollar minimum for credit cards so bring cash!
A little slow, however they were super willing to start a decaf brew for me since there was none. Very kind! I think I’ll be coming back.

I was hungry after walking around Silver Spring downtown with my fiancé, and we were looking around places to eat. It snowed a lot so many places were closed :(It’s actually kind of hidden so couldn’t see the place very well on Georgia Avenue, but I found «new management» sign that was near a parking lot. As soon as I saw «open» sign on I was so happy lol. We went in and decided to order something to fill my belly. I was so starving and ordered some soup and sandwiches. They were very delicious! Not sure if it was because I was very hungry, but I still consider myself a picky eater. My sandwich was really fresh and my soup was warm and creamyy. Even my fiancé (who is a European) said deli meat here is delicious and fresh. Even though I don’t live near Silver Spring, I want to stop by this café again when I visit my friends and family members here. :)
Edit: First I posted on Café X-​press Unilocal page and I realized that there is Café Xpress Number 5 which has the same address as Café X-press’s??? o. O They’re registered as different businesses for some reason (and the same location). I first posted there but pictures here (seem like the same place but.) are more recent and accurate. Since I don’t know which one at this moment (I guess the owner will deal with it with Unilocal), I posted on both. :P

My coworkers and I absolutely love eating here! So many options and the prices are really fair. The portions they give for things like the breakfast platters are absolutely massive, and I cannot stress how delicious the *freshly cooked* meals are! Definitely worth the extra few yard walk to eat homemade deli food versus processed chain food. Highly recommend!

Great Silver Spring on the go breakfast and lunch spot. I’m a local and have tried quite a few of their breakfast and lunches. Everything I’ve had has been tasty. The staff is friendly and the prices are cheap. It’s a great bang for your buck and a must go if you work in the area!

***** BREAKFAST REVIEW ONLY *****
Ordered breakfast for the first time today and it was absolutely disgusting! The scrambled eggs were clearly cooked in old oil or grease and were inedible. The bacon was incredibly greasy, as if they fried bacon just for the fat to fry my bacon in. The home fries and the buttered toast were the only edible part of «the Rancher» combo I bought.
I will still order lunch from here but now I know to stick with bringing oatmeal from home for breakfast!

I love this place! It is in walking distance from apartments, the subway, the court house and office buildings. They make great breakfast sammiches! Their coffee perks me right up!
It has a hidden entrance, but you can park on the corner of cameron and georgia (where the bank is) and walk through the building.
I will take Tara’s advice and get my electrolytes on with that coconut water!

This place makes great bagel breakfast sandwiches.

I feel like Superwoman today!
Why? Because I got my coconut water fix at Café X-​Press. Did you know that one cup of coconut water contains more electrolytes than most sports drinks and more potassium than one banana?
This explains my dunking abilities, X-​ray vision and my ability to chew bubble gum and walk at the same time.
Plus, the grilled salmon salad I got here was super fresh. The vegetables were so crispy, colorful and delicious. It was a very simple salad and definitely very light on the salmon, but accompanied with the creamy ginger dressing it was the perfect lunch on a gorgeous summer day.
This café is technically on Georgia Avenue, but it’s much more convenient to access on foot — it’s actually in a little corner cove right off Georgia Avenue to it’s virtually impossible to spot from the street.
They offer plenty of breakfast and lunch options, hot and cold. The café is extremely small, so there is a bit of a claustrophobic feel to it.
Grab your food to go, unless you want to sit at the one or two small tables on the sidewalk.
